Family Promise of Beaufort County
The Family Promise model is successful, unique, and cost effective.
- We are a local organization that provides a 3 month program for homeless families that not only provides food and a place to stay, but also provides education, job training and counselling to allow the parents to become self-sufficient and live on their own.
- We are the only shelter in both Beaufort and Jasper Counties.
- Over 90% of families graduating from our program are still in permanent housing after one year.
- We operate at 1/3 the cost of traditional shelters.
- Since opening our doors in July 2008, we have assisted over 900 individuals, 61% of which were children.
- We recently purchased our “The Freedom House” in Bluffton. The Freedom House will accommodate up to seven families at a time, using volunteer support for monitoring. This provides families with a safe place to sleep while they transition from homelessness to having a home.
