2025 CAMPAIGN
Family Promise is the nation’s foremost organization addressing the crisis of family homelessness.
They take on the full range of issues that can lead to a housing crisis, offering programs and services that include homelessness prevention, emergency shelter, housing solutions, and stabilization.
Last year, Family Promise served nearly 65,000 families, more than half of which were headed by single mothers. Working with Family Promise, these families are able to build essential skills, access critical resources, and achieve lasting independence — giving children renewed hope for the future and the promise of a stable home.
PREVENT & END HOMELESSNESS FOR FAMILIES
The Problem
Homelessness is a complex problem. Housing alone won’t solve family homelessness. It’s a crisis that requires an integrated approach that addresses all the issues that can lead to the loss of a home. Every year, 2.5 million children in this country experience homelessness. These children are at a much greater risk for academic failure and health crises. They are also more likely to experience homelessness in adulthood.
WHAT THEY DO
Family Promise prevents and ends homelessness for families with children and helps them achieve lasting independence through a community-based response.
HOW THEY DO IT
Family Promise delivers innovative solutions for family homelessness including prevention, shelter, housing, and stabilization services. Family Promise has served more than 1 million family members since its founding 37 years ago.
WHY THEY DO IT
There is a severe shortage of affordable housing in the United States, exacerbated by rising rents and stagnant wages. With little or no safety net, one unforeseen expense or emergency can lead to family homelessness. Family Promise envisions a nation where every family has a home, a livelihood, and the chance to build a better future.
