Impact
With the help of local organizations, we offer compassionate and concentrated support to homeless children and their families. Families receive 24-hour-a-day support, a safe place to stay, three meals a day, and comprehensive support services, all free of charge. The program enables families to stay together during crisis, when they may possibly be divided at traditional shelters into separate men’s and women’s dorms. Family Promise also works with families to help them find employment and sustainable housing options that will enable them to regain a sense of normalcy, independence and stability.
CHANGING LIVES
Nationally, over the past 30+ years, we have provided shelter, meals, case management, homelessness prevention and stabilization services to nearly 1 million family members.
KEEPING FAMILIES TOGETHER
We believe families should stay together — not be separated — during the most difficult times in their lives.
ACHIEVING SUCCESS
Nationwide, more than 88% of families in our shelter program secure housing because of our intensive case management and community support.
ENGAGING VOLUNTEERS
Collectively across all the Family Promise Affiliates, we mobilize more than 200,000 dedicated volunteers who make a tremendous difference in families’ lives—and in their communities.
WORKING SMART
For every dollar invested, we return $3 in donated goods and services.
INSPIRING INITIATIVES
Our volunteers don’t stop at shelter, meals, and support services. Nationwide, we have created more than 1,700 programs for housing, homelessness prevention, health care, life skills, and mentoring, among others.
