Carolyn Gordon, MSW, our Senior Director of Program Development, recently attended the National Alliance to End Homelessness's conference in D.C. along with five Family Promise representatives from sites across the country! "While housing is unaffordable, inaccessible, and in short supply everywhere in the U.S., this conference proved we have a path forward to creating substantial change. There are organizations and leaders across the country finding ways to make housing stock more affordable and accessible, and if anyone will end homelessness, it will be these smart, creative individuals that have the right combination of tenacity and optimism." ~Carolyn Gordon

We're so grateful for Belk's long-time support! Their recent point-of-sale campaign will make a difference for hundreds of families facing homelessness. Thank you, Belk!

Members of our national team recently gathered in Grand Rapids, MI for quarterly planning meetings! They also visited Family Promise of West Michigan and toured one of their manufactured housing parks. 🏡   "With so many members of our national team spread across the country, it was great to gather in person for strategy conversations! It was also wonderful touring Family Promise of West Michigan's manufactured housing park. It's a prime example of the innovative housing solutions being used by Family Promise sites around the country." ~Mike Kerkorian, CFRE

Happy Juneteenth! Today, we commemorate the end of slavery in the United States and celebrate the resilience, strength, and culture of Black Americans. We honor this historic day, but also reflect on the past as we continue to work toward equity. Together we can make sure that every family, regardless of race, has a safe and stable place to call home.

Our Board of Trustees recently gathered virtually and in-person for two days of meetings! We are proud and grateful for their continued commitment to transforming the lives of families across the country. We're excited for the rest of 2024 and beyond!

The power of a furniture donation is greater than you think. Because of these donations, Family Promise sites across the country are able to transform houses and apartments into homes for families moving out of shelter.    Home improvement brand "This Old House" asked our own Mike Kerkorian, CFRE about the barriers low-income families face when moving into housing, including the acquisition of furniture.   Check out the entire article here:
