We at Family Promise want to be able to help children and their families in our community who are situationally homeless– helping them achieve sustainable independence through a community-based response.

And we, as a community in Cowlitz County, through Family Promise, want to provide the means necessary to help in times of crisis. Community to us is where families are valued for their talents- what they bring to the community. 

We are day by day building a place where people don’t just survive– they thrive.

Family Promise helps local communities coordinate their compassion to address the root causes of family homelessness. We address the issue holistically, providing prevention services before families reach crisis, shelter and case management when they become homeless, and stabilization programs once they have secured housing to ensure they remain independent. We tap existing local resources to empower families towards economic stability. Families come to us in crisis; we help them rebuild their lives with new skills and ongoing support.   The connections made between our community members and the families who are struggling can make an everlasting impact.  

Family Promise of Cowlitz County offers a hand up, not a handout out.  By educating the parents, supporting the children and allowing the opportunity to heal and grow together again, we illuminate any further trauma associated with homelessness.  We help change old habits and create new healthy ones.  Set obtainable goals and walk along side as they meet and exceed every expectation.  The success and smiles we see everyday tell us this is working!
