The Family Promise mission is to help homeless and low-income families achieve sustainable independence.

In Monroe County twenty seven churches support Family Promise providing financial and other assistance. For example, thirteen churches provide overnight beds and accommodations for families (including Mt. Pocono United Methodist) and seventeen additional churches (including Most Holy Trinity Parish) support them with meals and volunteers.

During the day families are bused to a central facility for education, job training, access to computers and other support services, and where children catch the bus to school. This unique approach to helping homeless families has resulted in broad community support and better than an 80% success rate transitioning families back to independent living.

Our  Monroe County Family Promise Homeless Shelter is part of a national organization that recognizes that poverty is a multifaceted problem that requires a multifaceted response, providing food, shelter, and support services for homeless families. Family Promise provides advice and advocacy for at-risk families to prevent their becoming homeless and educates people about poverty and the means to combat it.
