Overview
Mission
Our mission is to help families experiencing homelessness and low-income families achieve sustainable independence through a community-based response.
What it reported doing in 2024
Family shelter program: this program provides shelter for families enrolled in programming at family promise of clark county. Program guests spend the day at the day center, where they have access to case management services, laundry facilities, and showers. Here, they also search for jobs and long-term affordable housing. In the evenings, they are transported to one of our partner congregations, where they spend the night, receive a warm meal, and food for the next day, before returning to the day center.
