Mission and programs · 2025

• Shelter Program Rotational model: Using a rotational shelter model, we provide homeless children, and their parents shelter for, generally, up to 90 days. While a family is in shelter, they are offered services that help guide them to stability in long term housing. Services include intense case management, financial literacy, parenting education and life skills education. Case-Management includes action planning, goal setting, housing and employment searches; these are broken down into manageable weekly activities. Family Promise operates with a broad array of community support and has a unique model that accesses 30 congregations in our community to provide the food and shelter services for families we are serving. Each week a pair of Congregations work together to provide shelter, meals and various support activities for our families. An important outcome of (FPP) is to provide our families with the support they need to have long term stability with education, parenting, housing, finances, and life skills so that families no longer live in poverty. While a family is in shelter with FPP they are required to take part in our intense case-management and have access to Parenting Education, Life Skills Education and Financial Literacy education. The main goal being that they will find long term employment, long term housing and continued success with life stability. This past year, we hosted 19 families in the rotational shelter program, including 25 adults and 45 children. Program Expansion-Interim Housing began in 2025. There are many barriers to finding housing in our area for our sheltered families. However, there are many other barriers that hinder families enrolled in our Rotational Shelter Program from leaving our program with stability and security. Some of the greatest barriers are accessibility to childcare, lack of employment opportunities, and inexperience with life skills such as cooking, cleaning, and budgeting. To assist families in overcoming these barriers, in 2025 we expanded our shelter program to include four on-site units as an Interim housing shelter model. Interim Housing allows select families from our Rotational Shelter Program (RSP) to exit the rotational model and stay at the Family Promise Day Center overnight while continuing in depth case management that focuses on budgeting and life skills such as cooking, cleaning, budgeting, and time management. The Interim Housing Program has given the opportunity to further serve families in our area and increase their overall success at achieving long-term sustainability and success. Rooms at our day center will be used to shelter families for an additional 3-6 months, or as needed. These are occupied by Interim Housing Program participants, meeting eligibility requirements, maintaining current program progress and sign and following a program agreement. We provided this program to 4 families, including 5 adults and 10 children. Another program offered Keeping the Promise stabilization services. This program assists graduated families in continuing in their progress to maintain the stability they have attained. Monthly or weekly case management meetings are scheduled. Participants are offered to continue in the courses and programs they were utilizing while in our Shelter Program. We assist families in maintaining their progress and allow for continued growth. Financial incentives are given to families who continue to meet and exceed goals. These incentives include onetime bill payment, grocery card, gas cards, City of Moscow/Pullman pool passes, etc. At least 15 families participated in this program.

• In 2019, we implemented our Prevention Services programs. This program consists of Homeless Prevention Program and Homeless Diversion Program. Prevention is designed to prevent a family from becoming homeless. This program is offered to low income and A.L.I.C.E. population families who are close to becoming homeless due to financial reasons or emergency situations. Case management services are available to cover Financial Literacy, Parenting Courses and Life Choices Guidance. Financial assistance is available for each family. Generally, a Prevention Family is in this program for three months. During that time, they complete their case management goals and checklists, and a financial incentive is provided. A fuel card is given after every case management meeting and during budgeting and financial planning, it is determined what monthly bills Family Promise will assist with for three months' time. Family Promise generally can assist with utility bills, telephone bills, grocery cards, childcare tuition, etc. Cash funds are not given directly to families. This program has grown over the years and the need in our community has increased greatly. In 2024 we assisted 27 families in Homeless Prevention. In 2025, we assisted 84 families, including 83 adults and 136 children.

• Diversion/Rapid Rehousing Services are offered to families who homelessness is imminent, yet they have another safe, affordable housing option available. We "divert" the family from entering shelter. This can be done by assisting with deposit funds to secure a new residence, assistance with a rent payment or paying for a hotel for the family to bridge the gap between exiting one housing situation and entering the next. Case management services such as budgeting tools and classes, parenting tools and classes and financial literacy are available. Diversion is not a long-term program and long-term case management is not required to obtain assistance. Aftercare services are offered with incentives to participate. We assisted 23 families including 35 adults and 45 children in avoiding shelter and moving into new homes.

  Expenses $29,072

• It can be quite a shock to families moving into a new home to go from paying zero dollars per month for housing to $1,200 per month in rent. In 2025 we began offering Bridge Housing services. This program assists families who are moving into a new home gradually increase their rent over an extended time period, allowing them to build a savings account, increase their budgeting skills and often obtain housing that they were not eligible for due to prior housing barriers. Families in this program continue with intense case management services and are required to meet certain goals. Parents bring their rent portion to our office, and we assist with bill pay services. This grows accountability and teaches families about due dates. This program also allows families to stay connected to family advocates and continue to build their support system. In this pilot year, we enrolled 6 families into this program, including 8 adults and 15 children.

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
