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. We offer a community<br />
approach to addressing the challenges of housing insecurity,<br />
bringing together a diverse community of volunteers, donors,<br />
congregations, and businesses to create real change.<br />
We offer four programs that address a continuum of housing and<br />
stabilization needs. Our Shelter program, which is based in our<br />
Day Center in Natick, offers temporary housing paired with<br />
intensive coaching to families that have lost their home. Our SAIL<br />
program (Sustaining Achievements for Independent Living)<br />
supports families with rental subsidies and continued coaching<br />
for one year as they transition from our shelter program back into<br />
apartments in the community. Our LIFE program (Local Initiative<br />
for Family Empowerment) helps families facing eviction or shelter<br />
entry remain in safe housing by providing subsidies to pay for<br />
rent in arrears, security deposits, or moving expenses, paired with<br />
coaching support. And finally, the Steps to Success program offers<br />
our families educational and training opportunities, subsidies,<br />
and referrals to help them increase their life skills and improve<br />
their employment and income potential.<br />
We are one of over 200 Family Promise affiliates across the<br />
country, and as of April <strong>2023</strong>, we’ve helped almost 500 families<br />
including over 800 children create and maintain safe, stable, and<br />
sustainable housing. To learn more about us, see the last page in<br />
this program.
