  1. $4.9 million spent. FOUNDED IN 1988, FAMILY PROMISE IS A NATIONWIDE PROGRAM THAT IS DEDICATED TO SERVING FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN WHO ARE HOMELESS OR AT RISK OF HOMELESSNESS. LOCAL AFFILIATES ORGANIZE CONGREGATIONS, CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS, SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES AND COMMUNITY MEMBERS INTO VOLUNTEER COALITIONS. THE FAMILY PROMISE OF TUALATIN VALLEY (THE ORGANIZATION), AN AFFILIATE OF THE NATIONWIDE PROGRAM, WAS FORMED AS A SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION IN OCTOBER, 2016 AND OPENED ITS DOORS TO SERVING FAMILIES EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS IN MARCH, 2019.

HOUSING STABILIZATION: FOR HOUSEHOLDS COMING OUT OF AN EPISODE OF HOMELESSNESS, THIS PROGRAM PROVIDES LINKAGES TO EMPLOYMENT, HEALTHCARE AND OTHER SERVICES TO PREVENT REOCCURRENCE AND CREATE LONGER-TERM SELF-SUFFICIENCY. THESE ONGOING SERVICES ASSIST HOUSEHOLDS TO RETAIN THEIR HOUSING AND BE GOOD TENANTS AND NEIGHBORS.
