Family Promise of Philadelphia

Family Promise of Philadelphia We work with Philly families in times of crisis to prevent eviction, find shelter, and provide access to safe, affordable housing.

(Formerly known as Philadelphia Interfaith Hospitality Network) O U R S E R V I C E S
Our approach is customized to address each family's specific and unique challenges.

➡ Prevention & Diversion Services. We collaborate with families, landlords, and other agencies to prevent family homelessness.


➡ Emergency Housing & Relocation. We partner with caring congregations, landlords, and hotels to

provide each family with the privacy and space they need.

➡ Innovative Housing Solutions
We do what it takes to get families housed. We provide deposit assistance, shallow rent subsidies, and insurance to landlords who rent to families with poor credit who enroll in our tenant training program.

➡ Children & Youth Services
Each family member matters. We provide clothing, diapers, school supplies, art therapy, counseling, and trauma-informed care to help children learn and thrive.


➡ Ongoing Support
Our relationship with families extends for years as their needs evolve. This looks like education and career counseling, family therapy, and/or financial guidance. With this type of support, family members even become volunteers themselves and "pay it forward".

When rent consumes a family's budget, they are often forced to stretch groceries in ways no one should have to.

That's why we're so fortunate to have the support of Women's Connection. Each week, a group of women led by Susan Vineberg prepare homemade, nutritious dinners for housing-insecure families served by Family Promise of Philadelphia. What began as one call for volunteers in 2021 has grown into more than 80 meals, totaling over 1,000 meals every year.

This is an appreciation post for our community partners!

Community-based organizations are the backbone of our city's support network. They bridge the gap by providing vital services such as housing assistance, healthcare, temporary shelter, and legal support to prevent evictions.

Together, we're creating pathways that interrupt cycles of family homelessness.🏡

We're so excited to share that our community met the $25,000 match from Bob and Nancy Elfant and raised $160,935 for the Our Future Begins at Home Gala!

This is such an important milestone that would not have been possible without you.

Your generosity is already shaping the months ahead for parents working hard to stay housed, keep food on the table, and give their kids a summer filled with fun experiences. We are deeply grateful to have such dedicated community members who believe in the safety and stability every family deserves.

Tom, our ARSP volunteer at shares a few insights from his service. We thank him for making a difference!

"As a volunteer at the non-profit organization Family Promise of Philadelphia, which supports families at risk of homelessness, I was fortunate enough to experience how strong the sense of community can be in difficult times. What impressed me most was how naturally people help one another, even though many of them have only limited resources themselves.

I think, it’s inspiring to see how many of the families we work with try to give something back to the community as well. For me, it was especially meaningful to witness people who are facing difficult situations themselves still making an effort to contribute through volunteer work when they are unable to help in other ways.

The cooperation between different organizations is also something I perceive as positive. It often happens that people come to us whom we unfortunately cannot support directly. In those cases, we have a long list of community partners to whom we can refer them. In return, these organizations are also able to recommend our services to others.

What impressed me most, however, is the warmth and kindness that can be felt everywhere in this community. Families often tell us afterward that the feeling of being welcome and not being alone in their situation was just as valuable as the financial support that we provide itself. This experience has shown me how much an engaged community can achieve and how important solidarity is, especially during difficult times in life.“

Summer is often overlooked as one of the most challenging seasons for housing-insecure families.

When school lets out, families lose access to daily meals, child supervision, and transportation support. Childcare costs surge, utility bills rise, and work schedules become harder to manage.

The weather can't decide between spring and summer, so we had a Sprummer Giveaway event to embrace the mash-up. 🌷☀️

Families browsed tables with shoes, baby clothes, kitchen essentials, bedding, and all the little things that make home feel more comfortable. And the best part: 50 families left with items that will make daily life a little easier!

Thank you to our amazing social worker interns, staff, and volunteers who guided families and helped restock tables.

A stable home shouldn’t be something families have to constantly fight to keep.

As conversations continue this month about the affordability of housing, we’re reminded how quickly a single setback can put a family at risk of housing instability: lost hours at work, a medical bill, a rent increase.

At Family Promise of Philadelphia, we work to prevent homelessness before it begins through eviction prevention and shelter diversion services, partnering with families, landlords, and community organizations to keep families safely housed and connected to their communities.
