Family Promise organizes community partners including congregations, social services agencies, nonprofits, and other local organizations to work together to provide a truly holistic response to families experiencing homelessness and at-risk families. Our guests are housed in one of two main shelter models: rotational and static. The rotational shelter model engages a network of community partners, often faith communities, to house families with children in different locations. The static site model also engages community partners, including faith communities, but the location does not change. It is a fixed site for the families to stay, and volunteers provide hospitality at the site. Volunteers create and connect families to the community, lending their passion and expertise to help families get back on their feet. The key to Family Promise’s success is community engagement. What started as one woman’s response to meeting a homeless woman on the streets of New York City has grown into a national movement comprising more than 200 Affiliates and 200,000 volunteers across 43 states. Since our founding, we have served nearly one million family members: one Affiliate, one congregation, one volunteer at a time.
