from homeless to home
Did you know?
- Family Promise is a nonprofit organization, founded in 1994, in response a crisis of family homelessness. While most traditional shelters separate by gender, Family Promise keeps families together, battling homelessness, while they work to get back on their feet. As the gap between housing costs and income continues to widen, more and more families are at risk of homelessness, increasing the likelihood families will separate, children will fall behind in school, and eventually drop out. More than 2.5 million children in America experience homelessness.
- Supportive services include the After Care Program and Diversion Program, offering individual skill development & rehabilitation, striving for economic stability for the guests they serve. St. Mark’s has been a long-time partner and supporter of Family Promise, hosting families in our church with the former IHN (Interfaith Hospitality Network) hosting model. The collaboration of various congregations and faith organizations technically still is an interfaith hospitality network, in which hosting is now focused on the Apartment Shelter Program.
