Programs and Services
Our holistic, community-based approach to preventing and ending childhood homelessness.
Diversion. Shelter. Stabilization.
We recognize that childhood and family homelessness is a complex issue that requires comprehensive, innovative solutions. Our holistic approach includes three key areas of focus: diversion, shelter, and stabilization.
Diversion
We are there when a family’s homelessness is imminent, and we work to avoid the trauma of a family losing their housing. We do this through:
Case management and community support
Tenancy training
Landlord mediation
"Because of your help, I can just focus on working and being a mama to a newborn and toddler. Seems like a small thing to most people, but for me it feels like a wonderful gift."
Housing location
Access to career certifications

Last year, we served 475 people in 155 families.
Family Promise of Gainesville offers a holistic solution to family homelessness and our shelter models ensure the right fit for a family.
Shelter
Our shelter model engages a network of community partners, to shelter families with children.
Shelter
When moving into their own home after graduating from our shelter program: "I am shaking right now. I have never had someone show me so much kindness."
- Shelter program graduate
Stabilization
Our goal is not simply getting families into housing - it is keeping them housed. Stabilization programs provide support and reduce the risk of a family’s re-entry into homelessness. Examples include:
Budgeting classes and financial literacy
Education and career pathways
"We have a home now. This is a positive program for those of us willing to do what is needed to better our situation."
Community resources and connections
Permanent supportive housing for parents with a disability
Rapid re-housing assistance for eligible families in our program
- Family Promise Graduate
94% of the families we serve remain housed one year later.
Resource Navigation Thursdays
Helping families build brighter futures by connecting families to essential community resources.
All programs incorporate comprehensive case management and community engagement, empowering and uplifting families struggling with homelessness.
