Emergency Shelter

The shelter program and warm hospitality is the foundation of our model.

Are you a family with minor children struggling with homelessness?

How does it work? 

We unite and coordinate the collaborative efforts of volunteers from all faiths to shelter and feed families with children who are experiencing homelessness.

90 day program

This is a 90 day program to get families housed and back on their feet. Our case manager meets with the family weekly to discuss housing and employment opportunities, assists with finding social and community services that may be helpful, and works with them on budgeting and good tenancy skills. 

Interfaith cooperation

Families receive support from local civic organization, churches, synagogues, temples and places of worship. Family Promise of Gainesville serves as a home for our families.

Volunteer run

Volunteers are the backbone of our organization providing support and meals to families.
