Family Promise of York County

Family Promise of York County is affiliated with national family promise, an organization committed to linking communities who want to help families with those who are in need. The families at FPYC are like any other family, except that they are experiencing severe economic hardships. Usually, one or both parents are employed or have recently lost a job. Families have been living day-to-day until some event worsens their situation. Soon, parents and children find themselves without a place to live. Our organization assists families in regaining their independence and self-sufficiency by providing intensive case management and life skills training to guest families. In 2013, 83% of our guest families left our program for permanent housing and 100% left with employment.

The MISSION of Family Promise of York County is to provide a comprehensive program of shelter, meals, and support services to homeless families through coordination with area churches, social service agencies, and volunteers. Our VISION is that families leave our program better equipped to meet life's challenges. Our GOAL is that families resume and maintain self- sufficiency and independence in permanent housing. Programs: Interfaith Hospitality Network, Fresh Start, Rapid Re-housing. Family Promise hosts an annual fundraiser: Make A Bed, Make A Difference Bed Race
