What We Do

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 them rebuild their lives with new skills and ongoing support.

Consumer Notice:  The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) requires that each jurisdiction receiving funding from HUD have a Homeless Management Information System in place.  The goals of the management system (AKHMIS) is to assist in determining the needs of our clients and to provide a record evaluating the services our agency is providing.
