Graduate

Families “graduate” if they secure employment and housing by their exit date. Family Promise’s Graduate Program keeps families engaged with staff and peer support 24 months post-graduation.

For this reason, we also lovingly call this program “Connections.” We make sure parents and children know they are still part of the Family Promise family and can turn to us for help, even after they moved out.

Graduate families often have just enough in savings to make ends meet. We want their next chapter to be a success. Family Promise supports move-in costs for qualifying graduate families so parents can pad their savings and keep advancing toward self-sufficiency.

We don’t want to see a slide back into homelessness. Continued cash flow training and resources such as food boxes, diapers, birthday/holiday gifts, and referrals are key to preventing larger emergencies.
