Who We Are...
Our Mission
Our mission is to help homeless and low-income families achieve sustainable independence through a community-based response.
Our Vision
We want to meet the unmet needs for prevention and shelter for families with children in a housing crisis and offer stabilization services and permanent housing solutions in communities where Family Promise is located.
Statement On Equality & Non-Discrimination
Family Promise serves families of all compositions. We welcome everyone in the community to be part of the solution to empower families experiencing homelessness and ultimately retain and regain the safety, security, and opportunity that comes with having a home.
Statement On Racism
It is impossible to separate systemic and structural racism from the reality that people of color, and Black people in particular, are disproportionately affected by homelessness and poverty. Family Promise is committed to being an anti-racist organization. We will educate and engage ourselves, our stakeholders, and the community to work towards overcoming racism so that race no longer defines who has housing.
Commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Accessibility
Family Promise is committed to applying Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, & Accessibility (DEIA) best practices to all aspects of our work. Our goal is to prevent and end family homelessness, and we understand that aspiration is not possible without addressing equity issues at all levels.
​
Our work in this space includes the engagement of people with lived experience in program design and leadership, as well as committees and councils formed to prioritize issues like racial equity at all levels of the organization. We also desire to demonstrate our values through formal statements around equality, non-discrimination, and racism.
