Family Promise of Montgomery County

The mission of Family Promise is to serve homeless families with children by uniting faith communities in a cooperative effort to provide shelter, meals, transportation, and compassionate assistance leading to independence.  They offer up to a 90-day stay with the organization through their Home-to-Home program.  Parents work with their case manager to develop their family’s goals and determine the steps needed to attain them. Parents are educated on good parenting methods, stress and anger management, budgeting, family safety, and healthy living through weekly required life skill classes and personalized financial sessions with individual bankers.  Home-to-Home is finalized with financial assistance and furniture donations to aid families in their transition into living on their own again.  Applicants can complete the online application (Go to the website and click on “What we do” then “90-day shelter”) or call the Day Center (936-441-8778) to complete a phone application. Their office hours are Monday – Friday 7am to 5pm.  Once your application has been submitted (online or by phone), a Case Manager will review your application. If you meet the criteria for our Home-to-Home program, the Case Manager will follow-up with you to complete a full application and start the process to schedule an interview.  If you do not meet the criteria, your application will be given to a Resource Specialist (RS). The RS will contact you with other resource options and will continue to work with you until your needs are met.
