Family Promise Secures $20,000 Grant from Clayton® to Prevent Homelessness for Families in Greater Concord

Concord, NH -- Family Promise of Greater Concord recently received a $20,000 grant from Clayton, ensuring that families in the Greater Concord area receive the support they need to stay safely housed. 

The grant is a portion of the $2 million dollars Clayton is donating to the Family Promise national network. The funds are a result of the recently announced partnership extension between Family Promise and Clayton.A Future Begins at Home, the initiative created through this collaboration is focused on supporting families experiencing homelessness by helping them remain in their homes and quickly regain stability.  Since its inception in 2019, A Future Begins at Home has helped catalyze over $14 million in additional funding, resulting in more than 43,000 families served. 

“For kids, home means consistency, safety, and a real sense of belonging and security. When we’re able to help a family stay housed, it means fewer disruptions, less trauma, and a much better chance at long‑term stability. This support from Clayton helps us protect that stability for families right here in Greater Concord, and we’re very grateful for it! ” - Stephen Croke, Executive Director

In addition to Clayton’s generous financial support, they have donated 20 homes to the Family Promise national network since 2019. These homes are used primarily as transitional housing, allowing families to stay together while receiving case management and support services as they work toward permanent housing.
