Description
In the Family Promise model, area churches offer overnight shelter and hospitality while homeless families participate in rigorous case management and family strategic planning.Children attend their school of origin, or attend day care while their parents are working to achieve their goals.
These include gaining employment, life skills and budgeting help, medical and public assistance benefits, attaining transportation, using thrift store vouchers for personal items, saving their food stamps and 80% of their income for future housing.
In an average of 40 days families move into their own homes and are self sufficient.
The positive mentoring and hospitality of congregation members and volunteers mean the world to our families and many long-term relationships are formed!
