ABOUT<br />
FAMILY PROMISE METROWEST<br />
Based in Natick, Massachusetts, Family Promise Metrowest serves<br />
low- and moderate-income families with children that are<br />
homeless or at risk of homelessness.<br />
Our Shelter program, supported by 51 multi-faith congregations<br />
and the community at large, offers temporary housing, food, and<br />
other essential support. Families also meet weekly with a family<br />
coach to work toward goals that address the root causes of their<br />
housing instability. Our SAIL program (Sustaining Achievements<br />
for Independent Living) supports families that graduate from our<br />
shelter with subsidies and ongoing coaching to ensure their<br />
successful transition back into community housing. Our LIFE<br />
program (Local Initiative for Family Empowerment) helps<br />
families facing eviction or shelter entry remain in safe housing by<br />
providing subsidies for rent in arrears or security deposits to<br />
immediately move into new housing, along with family coaching<br />
to build long-term sustainability. Lastly, all families are supported<br />
by the Steps to Success program, which offers educational and<br />
career-building resources to help parents and teens increase their<br />
income and break the cycle of poverty.<br />
Our approach to addressing family homelessness and housing<br />
instability is simple. We believe motivated families that are<br />
homeless can move themselves out of poverty and become selfsufficient<br />
if given resources, guidance, and encouragement. We<br />
envision a future in which every family has a stable home, a<br />
sustainable income, and the chance to build a better life. Learn<br />
