Rotational Shelter
Family Promise's community-based response to helping homeless families breakdown barriers to employment, childcare and housing.
Family Promise offers a unique shelter experience from traditional shelters. First, we use a rotating shelter design, as Family Promise partners with 10 faith-based organizations. These organizations provide free shelter, meals, and social support for client families as they rotate locations every seven days. Also, we are unique in that we do not separate families based on gender, regardless of the age of the children; we believe that it is imperative to keep family units intact.
​
During the program, case managers create an individualized plan of care for each family, working to eliminate the barriers to employment and housing stability.
