OUR MISSION

OUR MISSION

OUR MISSION

 Family Promise of WNY works alongside families facing homelessness to keep them together, providing housing solutions and tailored support to build lasting stability. 

OUR VISION

OUR MISSION

OUR MISSION

 We seek to build a community that invests in the strength of our families so that every child can have a safe and dignified home. 

Our Current Programs

Shelter Diversion

Shelter Diversion

Shelter Diversion

Our Shelter Diversion program allows us to work with families facing homelessness for a brief, intensive 30-day period to help them stabilize quickly in order to stay out of the shelter system.  

Temporary Housing

Shelter Diversion

Shelter Diversion

We offer temporary housing to families who have fallen into homelessness and need more intensive support to stabilize.

We stabilize families with wrap-around services:

Housing: We help families locate and secure safe, affordable housing


Health: We connect families to medical, dental and mental health professionals, link new moms to prenatal / perinatal services and make sure everyone has their prescribed medication


Basic Needs: We make sure families have food, shoes, working cell phones, identifying documents and transportation to critical appointments


Children: We screen children for delays, enroll them in school or daycare, re-route school buses and help teenagers move towards independence


Employment: We help people ready to work make a resume, secure work clothes, get a bus pass and find a job


Credit Repair / Budgeting: We help parents open a secure credit card, reduce old debt, raise their credit scores and start budgeting more strategically


Safety: we make safety plans with everyone

    Testimonies from our Former Guests

    A graduated mom's feedback:

    "All employees of Family Promise were welcoming and made me and my daughter comfortable.  Staff go above and beyond to get you the help and resources you need on your journey so you can start the next chapter of your life once you secure housing.  Thank you for everything!"

    A graduated dad's feedback:

    "Family Promise has meant everything to me.  Without y'all I wouldn't be doing as good as I am now.  You all have worked with me and I can't thank you enough.  The staff are awesome.  I'll never forget my stay at Family Promise.  Me and my son very much appreciate you all.  When I first signed up for a shelter, I was so scared.  But being at Family Promise made things easy.  You all are a big help and I thank you.  God bless you all!!!"
