Overview

Mission

To help families experiencing housing instability achieve sustainable independence through a community-based response.

What it reported doing in 2024

Family promise of metro east operates a rotational shelter network and day center to provide houseless families 3 meals a day, hospitality, and a safe place to sleep, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In addition to shelter, we provide case management which includes support in seeking and securing employment, finding and applying for permanent housing, coordinating with schools to ensure there is no break in education for youth, and other resources designed to support families in returning to stable housing, as needed and as determined by the family. We do this with the help of over 200 volunteers and 20 community partners including faith communities who provided overnight accomodations, volunteers and meals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
