YWCA Richmond celebrated a construction milestone Monday at The Heights in Eastern Henrico with a ceremonial beam signing.

The Heights, located on North Airport Drive in Highland Springs, is the first-of-its-kind model community in Virginia designed to provide housing for survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse.

The development will offer affordable apartments and on-site support services for survivors and their families. A Sprout School on the property will provide care for 150 children year-round.
