Services/Programs
Host & Partner Congregations
About four to six times a year, for one week at a time, Host Congregations supported by
volunteers from Partner Congregations provide overnight lodging, meals (supper, breakfast, and
brown-­‐bag lunch), and hospitality. Hosting rotates among the eight to thirteen Host
Congregations in the Network, that provide lodging for three to four families (up to 12
individuals) from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. the next morning.
Family Center at Canterbury House
Each day from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., guests use the Family Center at Canterbury House on South
Tracy Avenue for pre-­‐school children, receive counseling from the Director, seek employment,
and arrange appointments to implement the program. Many guests are employed and leave to go
to work during the day. During the school year, children leave the center during the day to attend
school. The Family Center provides guests with a mailing address and a home base from which to
conduct their housing search. The Executive/Network Director’s office is at the Family Center.
Transportation
If needed, FPGV transports guests to and from the Family Center and the current Host
Congregation’s facilities, along with the guests’ luggage and the support materials, such as beds
