WHAT WE DO

Family Promise helps local communities coordinate their compassion to address the root causes of family homelessness. We address the issue holistically, providing shelter and case management when they become homeless and stabilization programs once they have secured housing to ensure they remain independent. We tap existing local resources to empower families towards economic stability. Families come to us in crisis; we help them rebuild their lives with new skills and ongoing support.

Programs and Services

Prevention & Diversion

We are there when a family’s homelessness is imminent, and we work to avoid the trauma of a family losing their housing (Eviction Prevention). We do this through:

  • Case management and community support
  • Rental assistance, security deposits
  • Utility support
  • Landlord mediation
  • Housing location

Keeping families out of shelter is good public policy and good fiscal policy. When families have lost housing and reach out to Family Promise, we provide alternatives (Shelter Diversion) for those that already have enough resources to not need to enter shelter, including:

  • Security deposits
  • Landlord mediation
  • Housing navigation
  • Creative solutions leveraging a family’s strengths

Rotational Shelter

The rotational shelter model engages a network of faith communities, to house families with children in different locations on a rotational basis. Utilizing existing community resources, we provide shelter, meals, intensive case management, and comprehensive support services.
