🏡 Keeping families housed can change the future for children.

In 2025, Family Promise of Lawrence served 322 children through our eviction prevention program.

98% of those children avoided eviction.

Those numbers represent children whose families were able to avoid the disruption of eviction and work toward greater housing stability.

Preventing a housing crisis before it escalates matters. It can help families maintain stability while children continue growing, learning, and being kids

During Family Promise Week, we’re reminded that providing support at the right time can make a meaningful difference.

Because every child deserves the opportunity to thrive.

Can you give $10, $100, $1000 towards preventing an eviction for a family in our community?

A proclamation. A community. A commitment to families. ✨

As Mayor Finkeldei’s Family Promise Week proclamation recognizes, housing insecurity can create barriers to a child’s education, a parent’s employment, family health, and long-term stability.

Families facing housing challenges are our neighbors, our coworkers, and members of our community.

At Family Promise of Lawrence, we serve nearly 300 families each year, helping families navigate housing challenges and work toward stability.

During Family Promise Week, let’s bring this often-invisible crisis into the conversation — and remember that every family deserves the opportunity to thrive.

Thank you to everyone who makes this work possible…our volunteers, donors, partners, neighbors and staff.
