What is Family Promise? Family Promise Greater Phoenix is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing homeless families in Maricopa County with interim shelter and support services. We work to transition families into sustainable housing. Family Promise provides comprehensive assistance for homeless families that offers hope, dignity, and self-sufficiency. The Face of Homelessness in Maricopa County The causes and factors that lead to homelessness are complex. Economic factors such as jobs, evictions, foreclosures and lack of affordable housing have significantly impacted the growth of first time homelessness in Arizona. These same factors have impeded the efforts of some to work their way out of homelessness. In the face of a poor economy, conditions such as physical and mental health issues, domestic violence and substance abuse exacerbate the downward spiral into homelessness.

Source DES Annual Report 2012 Family Promise s Service Family Promise is an emergency shelter program for homeless families with children. This program is for families with children. Parents must be willing and able to work and agree to comply with a zero-tolerance policy regarding drugs, alcohol and violence. Families accepted into the program are assisted with enrolling their children in school and daycare, preparing a resume, seeking employment and preparing a plan for sustainability. Family Promise is one of very few emergency family shelters that allows families to stay together regardless of gender (many shelters separate the men from the women and children). Family Promise is the only Valley family emergency shelter that permits families to keep their pets on site. 70% of the families accepted into our program move on successfully to sustainable housing within 45 days of entering our program. Family Promise works with an inter-faith congregational network of 28 churches that house and feed the families on a rotation basis, which dramatically increases support and social connections to our families and lowers our service delivery costs. Family Promise-Greater Phoenix is one of 182 independent national Family Promise affiliates across the U.S. Family Promise is funded by monetary and in-kind donations from individuals, corporations, and charitable foundations. We doubled our capacity to serve homeless families in the last 2 years. 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 Families Served Individuals Served
