Family Promise of Wake County

Annually, our emergency shelter program provides temporary shelter to about 50 families experiencing homelessness. With local congregations providing evening shetler and daily meals on a weekly basis, Family Promise of Wake County provides supportive services and case management at the day center. The day center is also a safe place for families to be during the day while they work through individual barriers to permanent housing with staff assistance.

Annually, our permanent housing programs - rapid rehousing & new lease on life - places about 40 families in permanent housing. This housing is usually within Wake County and provided at affordable rates. If necessary, Family Promise can provide minimal financial assistance to ensure that the families are able to maintain their permanent housing placements. As with our other programs, case management services are also provided to assist families as needed.

Annually, our transitional housing program provides temporary housing to about 30 families. With increased independence from the shelter program, families work with staff to address barriers to obtaining permenant housing, such as poor credit issues and past evictions. These families are also provided supportive services, such as case management and life skills education classes.
