There has been increased concern being expressed on social media about the homeless encampments in the community. Please note that while Family Promise conducts street outreach, and most likely has already assisted these individuals, our financial resources are very limited. In April, we paid over $5,000 for hotel overnights during bad weather for homeless individuals. This was only possible through a Duke Energy Grant 🥇If you, your church, company, civic organization or circle of friends would like to host a fundraising event for hotel overnights, please inbox us! We need your support as we cannot do it alone!

"There is no "I" in Team"
A testimonial by Amanda Vanderbilt, Rapid Re-housing Advocate

When we first learned about this client, it wasn’t through a formal referral — it was through one of our own board members connected to a local food delivery program. He had quietly fallen into crisis.

For 56 days, he had been without his Social Security income.

For three months, he had been without a phone. His apartment had experienced a fire, leading to structural damage and added financial stress.

With no income and no way to communicate, he quickly fell behind on rent and received a 10-day vacate notice. His housing was at immediate risk.

After conducting a rapid assessment, we uncovered the root of the issue: his Social Security payment card had been mailed out but returned as undeliverable. Without access to his funds, everything began to unravel.

We worked quickly together to stabilize the situation:
- Contacted Social Security to resolve the returned card issue
- Ensured a new, working payment card was secured
- Verified and updated his Social Security benefit amount
- Paid the 10-day “pay and stay” amount to stop the eviction process
- Negotiated a payment arrangement with the landlord for fire-related damages
- Set up automatic payments, including damage fees, to prevent future disruption

Beyond housing, we focused on rebuilding essential stability:
- Secured a phone so he can now communicate reliably
- Helped him reestablish contact with his mother in Michigan — something he deeply values and now does weekly
- Reviewed and clarified his rental calculations to ensure accuracy
- Addressed expired identification and vehicle tags
- With his determination, he walked dogs to earn money and successfully renewed his license plate

His birthday was earlier in the year — and this year, instead of facing eviction and isolation, he had stability, connection, and a clear path forward. You can donate today to help more members of our community facing similar challenges: https://familypromisehendrickscounty.org/donate/

"From Car to Home in 10 Days"
A testimonial by Amanda Vanderbilt, Rapid Re-housing Advocate

A young couple, just 19 and 20, came to us after living in their car for nearly three months. With a baby due in less than five weeks, they were overwhelmed and uncertain about what the future held. Job hours had been cut, and even door-dashing wasn’t enough to keep their phone on.

We jumped in right away—helping them secure insurance, a breast pump, a car seat, pregnancy resources, and connecting them with shelters.

In less than 10 days, they had stable housing, a career plan for Dad, and a home set up with essential baby items for Mom. We couldn’t be more excited to see this family start their next chapter.
