Mission Statement
Empowering families experiencing homelessness to achieve sustainable independence, Family Promise of Forsyth County, Inc. provides short-term housing and goal-oriented programs.
About This Cause
Our program is a 30-90 program serving FAMILIES who are experiencing homelessness. During that time period, our main goal is to assist and support the families to be able to save money and become sustainably independent. The families’ first goal is for the adults to gain employment, if they are not already working. Along with community partners, we assist the families in applications, resumes and finding jobs. Once the adults are working, their number one goal is saving money. This is where our coordinated efforts of multiple congregations and hundreds of volunteers comes into play. Each week, one of our thirteen host churches provides a place to stay and volunteers from that church, along with our several support churches, provide meals, activities and emotional support to the families in our program. We also provide supports such as childcare and transportation through our Freedom to Work program. During their time in our program, the guests are also given weekly goals in the areas of financial empowerment, parenting, self-health & well-being and sustainable independence. Our priority is to empower the families to be their best selves by providing them with the tools they need to succeed.
