Family Promise 

Family Promise is a national nonprofit organization which is committed to helping low income families achieve lasting independence.  

Family Promise was originally called the National Interfaith Hospitality Network but because poverty is such a complicated issue, it added four more facets to the program and changed its name to Family Promise.  All programs in a holistic, integrated approach support each other and together are more effective than when a program is used in isolation. 

	Interfaith Hospitality Network    There are 152 interfaith hospitality networks in cities throughout the United States. Networks of faith congregations and volunteers unite to shelter, feed and provide case management for homeless families.
	Family Mentoring   Trained volunteers help hospitality network graduates and at risk families to sustain independence.
	Just Neighbors  This is an interactive awareness building program for first step awareness of poverty and homelessness issues.
	Community Initiatives  Outgrowth programs such as transitional housing, housing renovation, job training , literacy on a local level.
	Voices Uniting  An advocacy support program to promote national policies for the improvement of life for at-risk and economically challenged families.
