Family Promise of Berks County Family Promise of Berks serves families & youth experiencing homelessness and individuals facing a housing crisis. Our door is always open!

Our programs focus on rapid rehousing, prevention, mediation, advocacy and coordination of services. At Family Promise of Berks County, we believe in
keeping families together and youth off the streets
while providing hope, a new beginning and
opportunities for change. Our mission to help families and youth experiencing
homelessness achieve sustainable independence
through a community-based response is made
possible through the help of caring partners and
individuals like you. We mobilize a wide network of volunteers to help us
deliver shelter, housing & supportive
services for a fraction of the cost of traditional
models. Get to know us, like our page and stop by to see how you can lend a helping hand.

What Home Makes Possible

A home is more than just a place to live. It’s a chance for new beginnings, a place for children to grow, and an opportunity for families to build a brighter future 🩵

Through our programs, Family Promise of Berks County helps families experiencing homelessness work toward stability and a place they can call home.

Over the next week, we’ll be sharing what home makes possible.
