Thank you for helping Family Promise make such adifference in so many lives in 2009. As the countrygrappled with the economic crisis, unemploymentcontinued rising (to 10% by December 2009). This loss ofjobs, along with the continued crisis in the housingmarket, drove demand for our services to unprecedentedlevels.

We received, on average, 20 inquiries per month about thepossibility of establishing new Family Promise Affiliates,

most of which met our development criteria. Unfortunately we simply didnot have the resources to address every request.

Family Promise did, however, respond by opening 16 new Affiliates across thecountry—a record total. From Casper,Wyoming to Dalton, Georgia peopleopened their hearts and doors to help neighbors in need. Over 47,000 men,women and children at a difficult time in their lives were given help andsupport by folks who believed they could make a difference. And make adifference they did, one life at a time, for which I offer my heartfelt thanks.

To sustain and nurture this vital work, we have been strengthening the FamilyPromise organization. We were delighted to welcome two new members tothe Family Promise Board of Trustees in 2009: Mary Weger,Vice President ofHuman Resources for Celgene Corporation, and Denise DeMan-Williams, CEOof Bench International. A committed and diverse Board is critical to achievingour mission of mobilizing communities nationwide to help homeless families.

My deep appreciation and thanks to our generous supporters, and to FamilyPromise volunteers and staff across the nation. Your continued support andengagement will enable Family Promise to make a difference in the lives ofthousands of families in 2010 and beyond.

Sincerely,

Martin WiseChairman

Dear Friends,

Family Promise will open its 160th Affiliate early this summer, a trulyremarkable achievement. I find myself marveling at the generosityand compassion that have supported our mission since our firstAffiliate began in Union County, New Jersey in 1986. Over twodecades’ later, we have helped more than 300,000 guests find thepath to a brighter future.

So great has been the need for our work and so committed havebeen our staff and volunteers, that Family Promise has grown 10% annually over the pastfive years. In response, in 2009 we implemented a plan creating a regional structure forour organization. We divided the country into four regions and assigned each arepresentative, enabling us to provide more focused attention for Affiliates as we growwhile, at the same time, benefitting from their wisdom and experience. It allows us tomaintain close communication with Affiliates, sharing best practices and workingtogether to help families in crisis.

With our growth, it is easy to get caught up in the challenges of running a multi-affiliatebusiness, but I am constantly reminded that at the core of what we do are the familieswe have the privilege of serving.

Families like Holly and her 8 year-old daughter, Faith. Holly lost her job and home inFlorida after an extended illness. Unable to find work, they moved to Tennessee wherethey shared a friend’s couch until her landlord forced them to leave. Holly turned toFamily Promises’ Chattanooga Affiliate and was accepted into their IHN program. Sheeventually secured a job with a local marketing firm and, this past March 25th, they movedinto transitional housing, near Faith’s school where she made this year’s honor roll.

“We are home and safe,”Holly says. “There are families out there who need to know aboutthis. There are congregations out there that need to join, and people who can help.Without Family Promise, we’d be on the streets.”

Family Promise gave Holly and Faith a hand up when they needed it most. I hear similarstories from families every day that I travel across the country. Thank you all for workingso hard to help give those stories happy endings.

Sincerely,

Karen OlsonPresident

The Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) Program had a banner year,opening 16 new Affiliates in 2009. There are now 158 Affiliatesoperating in 41 states and the District of Columbia, a testament not onlyto the great need across the country but to the extraordinarycommitment of our 130,000 volunteers as well.

Each IHN is a collaborative effort—Family Promise working closely withlocal organizers in each community, providing the knowledge and toolsto build a network: host congregations, a day center, social servicesagencies, and volunteers. With over two decades’experience indeveloping and supporting networks, National shares a wide variety ofbest practices and provides guidance to our Affiliates nationwide. As wecontinue to grow, our commitment as an organization is to remain thesame close-knit and supportive family we started as in Union County, NJback in 1986.

158 Affiliates…5,000 congregations…130,000 volunteers…over300,000 men, women and children served since 1988. The FamilyPromise community proves every day that, when we work togethertowards a common goal, we can change lives.

An Affiliate Grows in Lawrence, KSIn 2007, Joe Reitz, director of a nonprofit health clinic in Lawrence andretired professor from the University of Kansas, took note of theworsening local homeless issue. He contacted Family Promise aboutsetting up an IHN in Lawrence, and they held their initial communitymeeting at First Christian Church just before Thanksgiving. Claas Ehlers,Director, Interfaith Hospitality Network, was on hand to impart theFamily Promise vision and start the development process. Clergy visitsto recruit local congregations began in January. Over the following year,National trainers and staff traveled often to Lawrence, helping thedeveloping network build a foundation, one step at a time. The Boardhired Valerie Miller-Coleman, an outreach specialist for homeless familiesin Lawrence, as their Executive Director.

The team was in place, but challenges remained. As winter approached,the city threatened to apply the international hotel code for fire safety toeach church, virtually assuring the network’s demise. Family Promisestaff remained in constant contact, coaching them through the federallaws protecting their service model and advising on communityrelations strategies to build local support.

Confident in their position, they decided they couldn’t wait any longer for City Hall.As Reitz said,“We had the reality of kids being out in the cold.” On November 15,2008, Family Promise of Lawrence opened its doors, without the city’s approval.

And here’s the biggest surprise—no one tried to stop them. In fact, thanks togrowing public support for the new program, the city commissioners ultimatelyoverruled the fire marshal’s concerns as overly restrictive for temporary hosting.

Today, Family Promise of Lawrence is one of its community’s most celebratedservice institutions. Its 33 participating congregations, campus ministry groups and1,300 volunteers constitute roughly one-third of the local faith community. In 2009,its first full year of operation, they served 20 families and 12,045 meals. 100% ofgraduating families continue to maintain their housing.

It’s a remarkable success story, to be sure, but one born of shared dedication andteamwork. “Without the vision sparked to life and nurtured by our nationalleadership,”said Miller-Coleman,“Family Promise of Lawrence might still be just adream. Our earnest thanks to all of our national staff and fellow Affiliates whoseleadership and guidance brought our dream to life.”

Once family members leave IHN, their work at self-sufficiency continues. They may needhelp with budgeting or accessing community resources. A child may be having difficultyadjusting to her new neighborhood and school. Mom has a new job but can’t findadequate, affordable childcare.

Family Mentoring improves a family’s chances of success going forward by matchingthem with a trained volunteer in a one-to-one relationship. Families living in poverty facea complex set of issues, far beyond the stark challenge of keeping a roof over their heads.Pairing them with mentors to teach critical life skills, provide targeted counseling, andfacilitate community engagement has proven to be a remarkably successful technique.Family Mentoring provides a proactive approach that addresses many of the issues thatultimately lead to homelessness.

Mentoring in Greeley, COMaria Holguin came to Greeley’s mentoring program inthe fall of 2008 for help in obtaining her United StatesResidency and finding meaningful work. Her husbandwas a citizen but did not speak English and they had ayoung daughter facing challenges in her newenvironment, which concerned Maria as well.

Michelle Kempema, Greeley’s Director of Mentoring,matched Maria with Cynthia Sylva, who was teaching aparenting class in the program. Cynthia helped Mariafill out her Residency paperwork and negotiate thebureaucracy at Customs and Immigration. Sheorganized a yard sale to raise the $600 Maria needed forher application and provided a letter of reference. Cynthia helped Maria with her resume,and Maria was able to leverage her bilingual skills into a job with Colorado Progressive Action.

When Maria and her husband were looking for housing, Cynthia accessed American Recovery andReinvestment Act funds through a local Champions Program for a security deposit, enabling themto rent a 2-bedroom house near her husband’s job. And she encouraged Maria to enroll at AimsCommunity College, where she is pursuing her associate’s degree in communications.Maria’s dream is to eventually earn her Master’s in Education and become a teacher.

After all of her success, Maria is determined to give back. She runs a support group at FamilyPromise called“Aliados en Acion”(Allies in Action), coordinating with local government to helpSpanish-speaking mothers gain access to food, housing and employment. They meet one-on-onewith Maria first, then come together as a group to build social capital and bridges to the community.

“When I first came to Family Promise, I wasn’t much of a talker. I was shy,”said Maria. “Cynthiahelped me grow. She helped me with work and school, she helped us find a home. But what meansthe most to me is the help she gave me with my daughter. Cynthia taught me how to be a mom.”

And Cynthia herself commented,“it gives me peace and joy in my heart that I have been able tohelp Maria and she has continued on to help others. The mentoring program is needed in ourcommunity, to help those who need support and guidance. We have made positive changes in thelives of many through this program.”

Many Family Promise Affiliates expand beyond their core IHN program to createCommunity Initiatives – programs and partnerships that provide a wider array ofservices for low-income families. Because they are locally tailored, CommunityInitiatives are particularly effective in combating the effects of poverty at theAffiliate level.

Family Promise Affiliates have developed 765 programs in 20 categories based ontheir local needs – from job training to health care services to legal assistance. Earlyin 2010, the Community Initiatives Directory was made available as a searchableonline database on the Family Promise website, creating an invaluable tool forAffiliates as they work to improve existing programs and develop new ones.

Affordable housing is the single issue most responsible for family homelessnessand Transitional Housing has become one of the most dynamic and diverse areas offocus in Community Initiatives. Affiliates nationwide provide over 450 affordablehousing units to families in need.

Spotlight on Greenville, SCSparkle Abercrombie needed help. Laid off from work, unable toafford rent, she was reduced to sleeping in her car behind her churchwith her three young children, too embarrassed to go to her fellowchurch members for assistance. Finally, after three months, she brokedown and explained her situation to her pastor.

He contacted Family Promise’s local Greenville Affiliate (GAIHN). Theyfound a place for her at IHN and she eventually started working at thelocal Dollar Store. Within two months, Sparkle and her childrenmoved into a GAIHN duplex. Today, Sparkle is in school, studying tobecome a medical assistant and the Abercrombies are looking for aplace of their own to rent.

Greenville operates approximately 20 duplexes and houses in their transitionalhousing program. Families move into this housing only after they are stabilized inthe network and found a job. The usual stay is 6-8 months, with the longest being2.5 years for two families who were working with Habitat on building their ownhomes. Both have now gone from homelessness to home ownership!

The Greenville program builds on the engagement of congregations, allowingvolunteers to stay involved beyond IHN. They provide extra support, offercounseling, help with budgeting, etc. Almost all of the housing units are owned bythe congregations, who maintain responsibility for their upkeep.

Trails were blazed for JustNeighbors in public educationthrough the introduction of theJust Neighbors CommunityService Edition in late 2009. Thefirst offerings of the programwere made at the mid-November NAEHCY Conferencein Denver. NAEHCY (NationalAssociation for the Education ofHomeless Children and Youth)partners with Just Neighbors inthe work of protecting theeducational rights and servicesfor homeless children. JustNeighbors is an attractiveprogram to them forprofessional development offaculty and administration aswell as for community outreach.

A new feature, Poverty Facts in Your Neighborhood, wasadded to the Just Neighbors website in the fall. This allowstoolkit owners to obtain the most up-to-date statistics onpoverty, work, housing and other topics covered in thevarious Just Neighbors sessions. In addition, it offers usersthe ability to compare local poverty statistics to thenational numbers used in the program.

This has already proved an invaluable resource. As anexample, a facilitator in Richmond,Virginia was challengedby participants who said the kind of poverty shown in JustNeighbors did not exist in Richmond. A quick review ofthe facts showed that 34% of the children in Richmondlived below the Federal Poverty Level. That was equivalentto the reality in Newark, New Jersey and higher than therate of children living in poverty in New Orleans.

A monthly Just Neighbors email newsletter wasdeveloped and test-marketed with Habitat for Humanityaffiliates as a way to share ideas and best practices on thevarious uses of the program.

Voices Uniting volunteers were filled with anticipation as the year began.The new Senate passed the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act on May9th, as part of the administration’s stimulus and recovery package inresponse to the struggling economy.

The Family Promise-supported initiative, Making Families Count, was acritical component of the new law’s revised definition of homelessness, nowincluding those doubled up with families and friends or living in temporarysituations like hotels. Those in imminent danger of becoming homelesswere also covered under the bill. On May 20th, President Obama signed thebill with the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition toHousing (HEARTH) Act reauthorization included.

With the passage of the bill came a requirement of the United StatesInteragency Council on Homelessness (USICH) to prepare and present toCongress by May 20, 2010 a comprehensive plan to eliminate homelessness.Members of national and regional advocacy groups, including FamilyPromise, shared their experience and expertise with the USICH. Interactioncontinues between members and the newly-appointed Executive Directorof the USICH, Barbara Poppe, to develop the plan.

Voices were uniting all year in support of funding the National HousingTrust Fund (NHTF), with $1 billion proposed in President Obama’s FY 2010budget. Unfortunately, the original funding source was to be profits fromFannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which subsequently required federal bailoutsthemselves. Despite efforts to attach this funding to several bills, seedfunding for NHTF is yet to be appropriated.
