Family Promise Metrowest

Shelter: the shelter program offers temporary housing, meals, and supportive coaching to hard-working families with children. With our recent transition to a static site model with 3 available units for our shelter we've been successful thus far in our goal of decreasing the length of shelter stay from an average of 140 days to 90 days and increasing the number of families served.

The life program supports families facing eviction or imminent shelter entry. For families facing housing loss, we provide subsidies to pay off rent in arrears, advocacy with landlords, and up to one year of individualized coaching to work on goals that address the root causes of their housing instability. We know that the most effective way to prevent Family homelessness is to stop it before it happens. Our life program is growing at an alarming rate due to the high cost of living and housing in Metrowest.

Sustaining achievements for independent living (sail): the sail program ensures long-term stability for families by providing ongoing coaching and housing subsidies as they transition from our shelter back into apartments.
