Family Promise
serving children & families experiencing homelessness
Every child deserves a home!
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a community-based approach to assist families with children who are experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity to build patterns and enhance skills that will create sustainable independence.
Our Impact
We're seeking to directly help the 1724 school age children and their families that are homeless in the Lehigh Valley according to the 2021-2022 PA Department of Education. We provide security, stability, and support in a judgment-free environment that recognizes that at any point, any one of us could be in their shoes. Our goal is to drive those numbers down to zero!
