Family homelessness exists all across the country. But it often goes unseen. It’s an invisible crisis.

More than 1.5 million children experienced homelessness during the 2023-24 school year. Yet most were not living on the streets or in shelters. They were staying in motels or doubled up with others, forms of homelessness that can remain largely invisible to the public.

These families and children experiencing homelessness deserve to be top of mind. Which is exactly why we work every day to serve families in our community.

This week, we’re going to celebrate our work here in Olmsted County and the work of Family Promise sites across the country.

"No two communities face family homelessness in exactly the same way.

And while there are five core programs that are utilized across the Family Promise national network, each Family Promise site delivers solutions shaped by the needs of families in its community.

That local expertise is one of Family Promise’s greatest strengths! ⭐️
