What We Do

IMG_7129.jpeg

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.

Community Initiatives

Family Promise understands the needs of vulnerable families. So, we offer innovative programs – such as tenancy preparation, financial literacy, and virtual career pathway training - to address them in a cost-effective, targeted approach.

General Relief Assistance: GRA is intended to assist Alaskans in emergency situations, with basic needs such as shelter, utilities, food, and clothing. Limited funds for burial of a deceased person in need may also be available. Households must have an immediate, specific need and not have the ability to use other resources in order to be eligible. Find the application: http://dhss.alaska.gov/dpa/Pages/gra/default.aspx
