Our Families
The Success
In 2018, we helped 35 children (17 and under) and a total of 18 families. 100% of the families we served found employment and 80% of families that graduated found housing. Of the 18 families in the 90-day program, 4 families were dismissed, 11 families graduated, and 3 families remained in the program at the end of the year going forward into 2019.
We hold our families to a strict set of guidelines (no alcohol, meeting deadlines, finding employment, etc.) and dismiss families that violate these rules. Our program is voluntary, so families can choose to leave at any time. Every family that adhered to the guidelines and finished the program found housing in 2018.

Video Testimonies
At Family Promise, we believe that the greatest proof of our success is not in dollars raised or number of families served, but in the lasting impact of our program on the lives of our participants.

What are the long-term benefits you see from your participation in Family Promise?
We were accepted into FPHC and that moment changed our lives. The program works if you trust in it and stay focused. With the help of the financial classes provided by Family Promise were able to learn to save and budget. We saved up for a vehicle that we paid cash for and now own. I received a job offer from Keurig Dr. Pepper and have been working there since last March and Shayla continues to work at the daycare that the younger children attend. What's your greatest success since graduating from the 90 day Program? Graduating from the program and moving into a manufactured home community in Hall county. My wife smiles a lot more and I am proud of where we came from. We are grateful to have the opportunity to share our story with others. If our journey can inspire and give hope to just one family then we all win. How have the children transitioned throughout this process? We have 4 children; three boys and a girl. Nashard is 9, D'Mari is 3, Heaven is 2, and baby Victor is 1. They are all doing great! |
