Transforming the lives of families experiencing homelessness.

2.5 MILLION CHILDREN WILL EXPERIENCE HOMELESSNESS THIS YEAR
THE FUTURE BEGINS AT HOME

Family Promise has earned Charity Navigator’s top 4-star rating for 9 consecutive years.
Who We Are
Family Promise envisions a nation in which every family has a home, a livelihood, and the chance to build a better future. What began as a local initiative in Summit, NJ, has become a national movement that involves tens of thousands of volunteers in 200+ communities in 43 states. Our volunteers provide hospitality, companionship, and most importantly, community.
What We Do
Family Promise delivers innovative solutions for family homelessness including prevention, shelter, and stabilization services. We have served more than 1 million family members since our founding more than 30 years ago, and we aspire to change the future for 1 million children by 2030 through our community-based programs.
Why We Do It
There is a severe shortage of affordable housing in America, exacerbated by rising rents and stagnant wages. With little or no safety net, one unforeseen expense or emergency can lead to family homelessness. We envision a nation where every family has a home, a livelihood, and the chance to build a better future.
