Homeless Prevention and Rapid Re-housing

Preventing families from spiraling into homelessness is an essential element of the Family Promise mission. We offer a variety of strategies to ensure the people we serve do not fall into the cycle of housing instability that can devastate families and alter the course of children’s lives. These include administering formal diversion programs, providing rental assistance and landlord mediation, and developing community-based approaches that keep families housed. 

Family Promise helps local communities coordinate their compassion to address the root causes of family homelessness. We address the issue holistically, providing prevention services before families reach crisis, 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 rebuild their lives with new skills and ongoing support.
