Prevention Program
The Family Promise program developed to prevent homelessness before it begins.
The Emergency Response Program was created to reach more families than the Rotational Shelter program can serve. Families at risk of or already facing homelessness can call our emergency line for help. Case managers provide prevention or diversion services—offering gas or food cards, short motel stays, or referrals to partner agencies.
​
In 2022, prevention services supported 30 families (180 individuals), while diversion services assisted 550 families (2,346 individuals). Our goal is to expand prevention efforts with rent assistance and temporary housing, helping families avoid eviction and maintain long-term stability.
