SPONSORSHIP
Family Promise Metrowest provides essential services to
families in need throughout the Metrowest region with the
support and dedication of our business community.

WHAT WE DO
Family Promise Metrowest’s
mission is to transform the lives
of families with children that are
facing homelessness by
mobilizing a diverse community
to provide shelter, education,
and comprehensive support.
We serve families that:
are without a permanent
home or are facing eviction
are low- to moderate-income
have at least one child under
the age of 18 living with them
are Massachusetts residents
Our approach to addressing
family homelessness and
housing instability is simple: We
believe motivated families can
move themselves out of poverty
and establish stable, sustainable
homes if given the resources,
guidance, and encouragement
to set and work toward goals.

OUR PROGRAMS
Our programs offer families intensive, long-term coaching paired
with targeted subsidies, giving them the time and support they
need to reach their goals and change their lives.
Shelter Program
Our Shelter program offers safe shelter, meals, clothing,
and supportive coaching to families with children that
have lost their housing.
SAIL Program
The SAIL program supports families that have graduated
from shelter and moved back into apartments, providing
subsidies and ongoing family coaching to ensure their
successful transition back to independent living.
LIFE Program
The LIFE program offers homelessness prevention and
shelter diversion services by providing funding to address
rent in arrears or other housing costs in conjunction with
family coaching to address additional challenges.
Steps to Success Program
The Steps to Success Program offers education and
employment support to adults and teens in all our
housing programs and provides scholarships to current
and alumni individuals that are pursuing higher
education.

Dear Family Promise Metrowest Supporters,
When I became a young, single parent, I had
trouble maintaining my family’s stability, struggling to
meet basic needs like shelter, food, and clothing for myself
and my daughter. We had already experienced two emergency shelters
when once again we needed urgent assistance during the peak of the pandemic in 2020.
Unfortunately, with my unemployment benefits, I was making $50 too much each month
to qualify for emergency shelter. So I resorted to living in hotels, but it was extremely
costly and only a temporary roof. After extensive research I learned about Family Promise
Metrowest and how they evaluate families based on need and not income.
They swiftly responded to my request for immediate aid, and since that initial encounter I
have been thriving in ways I didn’t envision. I was paired with a Family Coach who was
with me every step of the way. She was patient and sincere and went above and beyond
to make sure my daughter and I were seen, heard, and accomplishing goals. In our
biweekly meetings, we constructed a detailed budget that helped me establish financial
literacy. In addition, Family Promise offered several courses that focused on essential life
skills such as good tenancy, financial management, and so much more.
These thoughtful programs opened many doors for me as someone who is determined to
achieve at life. I learned so many fundamental skills that have helped me gain
scholarships, permanent housing, and a healthy savings account. I recently completed my
Associate’s degree, which I couldn’t have done without the continuous support from the
staff at Family Promise, and now I'm working toward my Bachelor's. I’m not worried today
about how my household will eat or where we will sleep—I worry about how I can
maintain Dean’s List status.
This journey I’ve been on with Family Promise has been inspiring to say the least. I am
deeply grateful for being able to share my story with others who are experiencing
homelessness and hopelessness. These two obstacles are heavy burdens one can face and
overcome, especially with Family Promise guiding you and your family. I can attest to how
they contributed to my fulfillment and success in creating a stable life for myself and my
daughter, who deserves it most of all.
