Family Promise of Brevard

In 2023, we provided services for 7,936 unique individuals, 61% of them children, through our diversion emergency shelter, housing stabilization, and homeless prevention programs. With the support of 22 congregations and over 200 volunteers, we have provided over 3,826 bed nights and 10,998 meals to families experiencing homelessness. Their support, paired with our intensive case management, has moved 94% of our shelter families into housing within an average of 30 days. Additionally, 100% of stabilization families and 100% of prevention families maintained their housing. In 2023, we served 2,480 total families through our programs. In 2021, the city of cocoa donated a firehouse for 20 years at 1/year to become our new base of operations. Our collaborative vision is to create a hub of services that prevent and end Family homelessness by co-locating essential agencies and creating a community classroom focused on post-secondary education and certifications that disrupt the poverty cycle.
