STOCKTON, CA – Family Promise SJC recently received a $20,000 grant from Clayton, ensuring that families in San Joaquin County receive the support they need to stay safely housed.
The grant is a portion of the $2 million dollars Clayton is donating to the Family Promise national network. The funds are a result of the recently announced partnership extension between Family Promise and Clayton. A Future Begins at Home, the initiative created through this collaboration, is focused on supporting families experiencing homelessness by helping them remain in their homes and quickly regain stability. Since its inception in 2019, A Future Begins at Home has helped catalyze over $14 million in additional funding, resulting in more than 43,000 families served.
“With this support, we can connect families experiencing homelessness to immediate housing solutions, reducing time in crisis and promoting long-term stability.”
Jory Gwasdoff, Executive Director – Family Promise of San Joaquin County
