Mission

We help families with children in homeless situations return quickly to permanent housing. We provide shelter, meals, job search assistance and other support for families, while working to address the root causes of their homelessness.

​

Goals:

Ambitious and Achievable

• Family Promise helps families with children facing homeless situations find permanent housing and, through our continuum of supportive services and partners, help them achieve sustainable self-sufficiency.

Keeping Families Together

• Family Promise will ensure families with children remain intact during their housing crisis so dads can stay with their family and boys over the age of 13 remain with their siblings and parents. 

Achieving Success

• Family Promise maintains an 85% or greater rate of families we serve moving into permanent housing.

​

Engaging Volunteers

• We mobilize more than 200 dedicated volunteers from 28 North Shore Congregations  who make a tremendous difference in families’ lives—and in their communities.

Continued Support

• Family Promise continues to work with families we serve in assuring they remain self-sufficient.

Changing Perceptions 

• We help people understand what life in poverty is like. Family Promise builds greater understanding of problems — and of solutions.
