Project Title: Family Promise of Spokane: Changing the Trajectory of Homeless Children’s Lives
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
Family Promise of Spokane (FPS) envisions a community where no child experiences homelessness. For 25 years, FPS has been working to improve and transform the lives of children by equipping families and communities to end the generational cycle of homelessness. <\/p>\n
FPS serves the "hidden homeless" – children and families. We define a family as any adult(s) caring for a minor child, including pregnant persons. There are over 3,100 K-12 aged children in Spokane County experiencing homelessness. Children who experience homelessness are three times more likely to repeat a grade and seven times more likely to attempt suicide. FPS’s three-tiered model of Prevention, Provision, and Preparation is designed to intervene early, teach positive life skills, and set up future generations to succeed and achieve their full potential.<\/p>\n
If awarded, funding will support the Family Promise Center (FPC). We are currently renovating the lower level of this facility to increase our capacity by 25 permanent beds. Once complete, there will be 99 beds for young children and families. In addition to a safe space for sleeping, FPS provides families with other essential services, including access to kitchens, showers, laundry, and secure personal storage. Additionally, families work with Case Managers to develop an individualized plan for achieving housing and family stability. Case Managers connect families with other community partners to help families rebuild their support network and community. Thus, if the family finds themselves in trouble again, they are empowered to advocate for themselves before it’s a crisis. This model has a 54% success rate in moving families into permanent housing. Over the past two years, 100% of these families have remained stable and are thriving.<\/p>\n
With the Hermanowski Foundation\u2019s support, FPS believes that we can create a community where all children have the tools to reach their full potential. <\/p>\n
