The essence of Family Promise

Family Promise of Brevard’s mission is to help homeless and low-income families achieve sustainable independence. The core philosophy of Family Promise centers on the belief that every child deserves a stable home and a promising future. To fulfill this belief, Family Promise of Brevard employs a holistic approach that combines shelter, support and community engagement.

Shelter and support

At the heart of Family Promise of Brevard’s work is its commitment to providing families with shelter and support. The organization collaborates with a network of local congregations and volunteers to offer a safe and welcoming environment for families. Instead of traditional shelters, Family Promise employs a rotational shelter model. Participating congregations take turns hosting families for a week at a time. This not only ensures that families have a roof over their heads, but also fosters a sense of community and belonging.

However, shelter is just the beginning. Family Promise of Brevard goes above and beyond by offering comprehensive support services. Families are provided with case management, counseling, job training and assistance in finding permanent housing. This multifaceted approach addresses the root causes of homelessness and equips families with the tools they need to regain self-sufficiency.

Community engagement

One of the remarkable aspects of Family Promise of Brevard’s approach is its emphasis on community involvement. The organization recognizes that solving homelessness requires the collective effort of individuals, businesses and institutions within the community. Family Promise engages volunteers from all walks of life. These volunteers prepare meals, spend time with families, and offer expertise in such areas as financial literacy and resume building. This not only provides practical assistance, but also fosters a sense of connection and empathy that is essential for change.

Family Promise of Brevard is more than just a nonprofit organization – it is a lifeline for families in need, a source of hope and a catalyst for positive change.
