Did you know?
Most homeless families in Lawrence are homeless for the first time.
About Us
A mother loses her job, a father is kept from working by an injury, a family is forced from their home by fire or natural disaster. Healthcare costs soar, public transportation is underfunded, affordable housing is almost impossible to find. These are the reasons families now comprise 40 percent of the homeless population, and why one out of every four homeless people is a child.
In response to this crisis, the Family Promise Interfaith Hospitality Network brings the faith community together to help families regain their housing, their independence, and their dignity. Our diverse partnership of congregations uses trained volunteers of many faiths to help families facing homelessness.
We mobilize existing community resources: houses of worship for lodging, congregations for volunteers, social service agencies for assessment and referrals, and existing facilities for day programs. This strategy enables us to help homeless familiies achieve lasting independence at a third of the cost of tradional shelters.
