The project includes demolition of the current JWHC and construction of a new, approximately 102,800 square feet facility in its place at 3750 Blenheim Blvd., connecting to and expanding the existing Sherwood Center at 3740 Blenheim Blvd. The project is intended to co-locate and integrate programming of health and human services and a community center to serve both City and County residents. The current funding for this project is included within both jurisdiction’s Capital Improvement Plans. More information about funding can be found at 2020 Community Health and Human Services Facilities Bonds Explanation.

This campus will offer many different programs and services designed to meet the needs of individuals of all ages and abilities throughout Fairfax County and the City of Fairfax. To that end, County and City staff are seeking input to ensure that the campus is designed to meet the needs and interests of the surrounding community. While some of the programs in the facility have already been designated; there will be multiple opportunities for community involvement and engagement throughout the process to discuss a variety of topics including site concepts, facility amenities, community center programming, and construction logistics. Notices for open houses and other public meetings will be posted on this webpage and shared with the community through social media, newsletters, and other channels used by the City and County.
