The Family Promise of Greater Phoenix provides the resources, time, and love for families to stabilize after becoming homeless. It is a scary and traumatic time for them. We calm their fears and give them reasons to hope. Our Emergency Shelter Program provides shelter, food, and compassion through staff and a loving community of volunteers. We see it as a holistic solution to end family homelessness. Family Promise supports the entire family including:
— Children through daycare assistance, school, in-house play spaces, and nearby Boys & Girls Clubs activities. It maintains a sense of normal family life that kids crave.
— Parents who, knowing their children are safe and cared for, can focus on their goals: to secure employment, save money, and search for next-step housing. Our social services empowers families to quickly graduate and move on.
— Pets, who now officially count among the homeless population. They get get their own food and shelter right alongside their human family! Without such a service, families would either live in their car to keep their pet or surrender it to an animal shelter.
