Family Promise

Operational in 2000, Family Promise of Greater Phoenix has provided more than just shelter for families.  For the past 11 years, the programs at Family Promise have helped an estimated 346 families out of 495.  These programs have enabled families to move from homelessness to sustainable self-sufficiency. 

Family Promise is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization,  independently affiliated with a national organization founded in 1988 and comprised of 162 affiliates in 41 states (www.familypromise.org).  Family Promise operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and only serves families with children. More than 60% of our clients are children under the age of 18. 

The mission of Family Promise of Greater Phoenix is to reduce family homelessness in greater Phoenix by providing shelter, case management, assistance and life-skills training so families can gain self-sufficiency.

 At Family Promise, we give families the tools and training to care for their children, find employment and housing, and become independent and successful. We strive to provide a safety net for children and their families before they drop into a cycle of endless shelters, loss of school attendance, unemployment, family instability and foster care. 

Besides providing basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter, Family Promise provides a safe, encouraging, and constructive environment for families that feel lost and scared. Family Promise’s long-term goal is to break the cycle of homelessness and create a sense of community for both the families that participate in the program, and the thousands of volunteers that have contributed to this program over the years.
