5-Point Star Service Model
Every Child Deserves A Home
Family Promise helps children and their parents when they face situational homelessness.
Family Promise supports them on their path to regaining sustainable independence. Our mission is accomplished by volunteers in local faith-based congregations who provide radical hospitality to our guest families.
What We Do
Our mission is to help families experiencing homelessness in their quest to achieve sustainable independence. While our guest families work toward that goal, congregations in the faith-based community provide them with temporary shelter and hospitality.
Our Story
Family Promise is a national, non-profit initiative founded in 1986. With affiliates in more than 180 U.S. cities, Family Promise brings the faith community together to help families regain their housing, their independence, and their dignity. It offers opportunities for volunteers of all faiths to reduce homelessness and transform lives.
Thank you to our Partner Congregations
Our Partner Congregations offer shelter, meals, and hospitality to our guest families. These 16 host congregations take turns hosting our guests for one week at a time, approximately once a quarter.

Coming Together As a United Community
Families in our program are provided with shelter, meals, and hospitality. We use churches in the Columbia area to shelter the families in our program. Families stay at each church for one week at a time, moving to a different church each Sunday evening. Families in our program are provided with a private, home-like room to sleep in at night. Families are also given access to shower and laundry facilities.
