Family Promise-Salt Lake

Family Promise is a non-profit, interfaith (non-proselytizing), organization that provides Shelter, Case Management and Housing services to homeless families. But more than just offering families a safe and supported environment away from the trauma of homelessness, Family Promise strives to facilitate lasting income and housing stability for the families we serve.

The State of Utah's Comprehensive Report on Homelessness for 2015 found that families account for 42% of all homelessness, due to the rising costs of housing and living expenses, compared to depressed wages. Which means that over 6,000 individuals in families, mostly single mothers, are caring for their children in shelters, doubling-up with friends or families or worse, residing in unsafe living conditions such as cars and abandoned buildings.

2015 was our 20th Anniversary, and we were honored to celebrate our many successes over the years, lifting more than 800 families out of poverty and homelessness!
