A Community Response for Homeless Families
| Family Promise® of Greater Lafayette Inc. (FPGL) |
|
START-UP DATE:
OCTOBER 5, 2008 |
... is a non-profit 501(c)(3) and non-denominational organization
for families in transition. Part of a national network, FPGL is one
of over 136 Networks across the United States. There are over 4500 congregations
and 110,000 volunteers making up these Networks. Based on the support of
volunteers and host congregations, Family Promise®
(formerly Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN)) programs are funded by donations, grants, and
fundraising opportunities.
Family Promise builds programs from existing resources
so they can be implemented quickly, and without major start-up costs.
All the Family Promise Networks are successful. On average, 80%+
of the families who participate in Interfaith Hospitality Programs find
permanent housing. Guests without jobs usually find them or enter job training.
Others even enroll in school. FPGL has begun to touch many volunteers within out
Network as they prepare to care for families in need in a loving and caring way.
