Shelter

Family Promise’s Emergency Shelter Program provides temporary accommodation for children and families experiencing homelessness, allowing them to stay together as they work toward regaining stability and independence. Families receive shelter, meals, intensive case management, and comprehensive support services to help them secure permanent housing. More than just a place to stay, our shelter program offers a welcoming environment where families can feel safe, supported, and empowered to rebuild their lives.

Family Promise of Greater Concord operates under a rotational shelter model, engaging a network of interfaith congregations that open their doors to provide temporary housing on a rotating basis. This model not only offers shelter but also fosters meaningful connections with hundreds of volunteers who provide compassion, encouragement, and a sense of community.

By utilizing existing community resources, we create a cost-effective and sustainable solution to family homelessness. Our program helps families move forward with the stability, skills, and support networks needed to maintain housing and build a brighter future.

Shelter Day Center

During the day, families work with Family Promise staff to find housing and work on related goals such as employment, transportation, education, and childcare. In the rotational model, the day center serves as the base for families, offering a mailing address and providing laundry facilities, computers, playrooms, showers, and storage space for their belongings.
