From our Chairman...
Thank you for helping Family Promise make such a
difference in so many lives in 2009. As the country
grappled with the economic crisis, unemployment
continued rising (to 10% by December 2009). This loss of
jobs, along with the continued crisis in the housing
market, drove demand for our services to unprecedented
levels.
We received, on average, 20 inquiries per month about the
possibility of establishing new Family Promise Affiliates,
most of which met our development criteria. Unfortunately we simply did
not have the resources to address every request.
Family Promise did, however, respond by opening 16 new Affiliates across the
country—a record total. From Casper, Wyoming to Dalton, Georgia people
opened their hearts and doors to help neighbors in need. Over 47,000 men,
women and children at a difficult time in their lives were given help and
support by folks who believed they could make a difference. And make a
difference they did, one life at a time, for which I offer my heartfelt thanks.
To sustain and nurture this vital work, we have been strengthening the Family
Promise organization. We were delighted to welcome two new members to
the Family Promise Board of Trustees in 2009: Mary Weger, Vice President of
Human Resources for Celgene Corporation, and Denise DeMan-Williams, CEO
of Bench International. A committed and diverse Board is critical to achieving
our mission of mobilizing communities nationwide to help homeless families.
My deep appreciation and thanks to our generous supporters, and to Family
Promise volunteers and staff across the nation. Your continued support and
engagement will enable Family Promise to make a difference in the lives of
thousands of families in 2010 and beyond.
Sincerely,
Martin Wise
Chairman
From our President...
Dear Friends,
I am proud of the great successes achieved
through Family Promise Affiliates last year.
There are so many highlights. I think of the
Reverend Dr. Jim Forbes—waving last year’s
report, no less—praising attendees at our
conference and avowing that they were
doing the work of Heaven on Earth.
I couldn’t have said it better myself.
And, of course, I remember our guests—like Brandon, the eldest son
of a family our Affiliate in Savannah hosted a few years ago. He’s now
Senior Class President of his high school, and wrote to say that not
only has he been accepted at Xavier University, but he’s been invited
to join its prestigious Biomedical Honors Corps on his journey toward
becoming a doctor. And I think of Pam, a former guest in her early 40s
who spoke at a Family Promise event in Philadelphia.Tears came to
her eyes as she talked about that first hug she received from a
volunteer...the first one since she was a teenager.
Our Affiliates helped over 45,000 individuals last year—men, women,
and mostly children who were given a new chance at life because
volunteers cared enough to help.This past year may have ended, but
its many great beginnings carry on for thousands of former guests—
just as they did for Brandon and Pam.The hope we sparked will burn
on, the Affiliates we developed will continue to address their
communities’ needs, the seeds of compassion sown in 2008 will grow
and blossom for years to come.
Thank you all so much.
Sincerely,
Karen Olson
President

Interfaith Hospitality Network
(IHN) Program
The Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) Program had a banner year,
opening 16 new Affiliates in 2009. There are now 158 Affiliates
operating in 41 states and the District of Columbia, a testament not only
to the great need across the country but to the extraordinary
commitment of our 130,000 volunteers as well.
Each IHN is a collaborative effort—Family Promise working closely with
local organizers in each community, providing the knowledge and tools
to build a network: host congregations, a day center, social services
agencies, and volunteers. With over two decades experience in
developing and supporting networks, National shares a wide variety of
best practices and provides guidance to our Affiliates nationwide. As we
continue to grow, our commitment as an organization is to remain the
same close-knit and supportive family we started as in Union County, NJ
back in 1986.
158 Affiliates…5,000 congregations…130,000 volunteers…over
300,000 men, women and children served since 1988. The Family
Promise community proves every day that, when we work together
towards a common goal, we can change lives.

An Affiliate Grows in Lawrence, KS
In 2007, Joe Reitz, director of a nonprofit health clinic in Lawrence and
retired professor from the University of Kansas, took note of the
worsening local homeless issue. He contacted Family Promise about
setting up an IHN in Lawrence, and they held their initial community
meeting at First Christian Church just before Thanksgiving. Claas Ehlers,
Director, Interfaith Hospitality Network, was on hand to impart the
Family Promise vision and start the development process. Clergy visits
to recruit local congregations began in January. Over the following year,
National trainers and staff traveled often to Lawrence, helping the
developing network build a foundation, one step at a time. The Board
hired Valerie Miller-Coleman, an outreach specialist for homeless families
in Lawrence, as their Executive Director.

• Delaware County, OH
• Forsyth County, NC
• Salem County, NJ
• Cabarrus County, NC
• Muskegon, MI
• Casper, WY
The team was in place, but challenges remained. As winter approached,
the city threatened to apply the international hotel code for fire safety to
each church, virtually assuring the network’s demise. Family Promise
staff remained in constant contact, coaching them through the federal
laws protecting their service model and advising on community
relations strategies to build local support.

“We had the reality of kids being
out in the cold.”
Joe Reitz,Trustee, Family Promise of Lawrence
Confident in their position, they decided they couldn’t wait any longer for City Hall.
As Reitz said,“We had the reality of kids being out in the cold.” On November 15,
2008, Family Promise of Lawrence opened their doors, without the city’s approval.
And here’s the biggest surprise—no one tried to stop them. In fact, thanks to
growing public support for the new program, the city commissioners ultimately
overruled the fire marshal’s concerns as overly restrictive for temporary hosting.
Today, Family Promise of Lawrence is one of their community’s most celebrated
service institutions. Their 33 participating congregations, campus ministry groups
and 1,300 volunteers constitute roughly one-third of the local faith community. In
2009, their first full year of operation, they served 20 families and 12,045 meals.
100% of graduating families continue to maintain their housing.
It’s a remarkable success story, to be sure, but one born of shared dedication and
teamwork. “Without the vision sparked to life and nurtured by our national
leadership,” said Miller-Coleman,“Family Promise of Lawrence might still be just a
dream. Our earnest thanks to all of our national staff and fellow Affiliates whose
leadership and guidance brought our dream to life.”

Family Mentoring
Once a family leaves IHN, their work at self-sufficiency continues. They may need help
with budgeting or accessing community resources. A child may be having difficulty
adjusting to her new neighborhood and school. Mom has a new job but can’t find
adequate, affordable childcare.
Family Mentoring improves a family’s chances of success going forward by matching
them with a trained volunteer in a one-to-one relationship. Families living in poverty face
a complex set of issues, far beyond the stark challenge of keeping a roof over their heads.
Pairing them with mentors to teach critical life skills, provide targeted counseling, and
facilitate community engagement has proven to be a remarkably successful technique.
Family Mentoring provides a proactive approach that addresses many of the issues that
ultimately lead to homelessness.
Michelle Kempema,
Mentoring Director
in Greeley.
Mentoring in Greeley, CO.
Maria Holguin came to the Greeley’s mentoring
program in the fall of 2008 for help in obtaining her
United States Residency and finding meaningful work.
Her husband was a citizen but did not speak English
and they had a young daughter facing challenges in her
new environment, which concerned Maria as well.
Michelle Kempema, Greeley’s Director of Mentoring,
matched Maria with Cynthia Sylva, who was teaching a
parenting class in the program. Cynthia helped Maria
fill out her Residency paperwork and negotiate the
Maria (right) with a Greeley guest.
bureaucracy at Customs and Immigration. She
organized a yard sale to raise the $600 Maria needed for
her application and provided a letter of reference. Cynthia helped Maria with her resume,
and Maria was able to leverage her bilingual skills into a job with Colorado Progressive Action.
When Maria and her husband were looking for housing, Cynthia accessed American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act funds through a local Champions Program for a security deposit, enabling them
to rent a 2-bedroom house near her husband’s job. And she encouraged Maria to enroll at Aims
Community College, where she is pursuing her associate’s degree in communications.
Maria’s dream is to eventually earn her Master’s in Education and become a teacher.
After all of her success, Maria is determined to give back. She runs a support group at Family
Promise called “Aliados en Acion” (Allies in Action), coordinating with local government to help
Spanish-speaking mothers gain access to food, housing and employment. They meet one-on-one
with Maria first, then come together as a group to build social capital and bridges to the community.
“When I first came to Family Promise, I wasn’t much of a talker. I was shy,” said Maria. “Cynthia
helped me grow. She helped me with work and school, she helped us find a home. But what means
the most to me is the help she gave me with my daughter. Cynthia taught me how to be a mom.”
“It gives me peace and joy in my heart that I have been able to help Maria and she has continued
on to help others. The mentoring program is needed in our community,” said Cynthia,“to help
those who need support and guidance. We have made positive changes in the lives of many
through this program.”

Community Initiatives
Many Family Promise Affiliates expand beyond their core IHN program to create
Community Initiatives—programs and partnerships that provide a wider array of
services for low-income families. Because they are locally tailored, Community
Initiatives are particularly effective in combating the effects of poverty at the
Affiliate level.
Family Promise Affiliates have developed 765 programs in 20 categories based on
their local needs—from job training to health care services to legal assistance. Early
in 2010, the Community Initiatives Directory was made available as a searchable
online database on the Family Promise website, creating an invaluable tool for
Affiliates as they work to improve existing programs and develop new ones.
Affordable housing is the single issue most responsible for family homelessness
and Transitional Housing has become one of the most dynamic and diverse areas of
focus in Community Initiatives. Affiliates nationwide provide over 450 affordable
housing units to families in-need.
Spotlight on Greenville, SC
Sparkle Abercrombie needed help. Laid off from work, unable to
afford rent, she was reduced to sleeping in her car behind her church
with her three young children, too embarrassed to go to her fellow
church members for assistance. Finally, after three months, she broke
down and explained her situation to her pastor.
Sparkle Abercrombie
He contacted Family Promise’s local Greenville Affiliate. They found a
place for her at IHN and she eventually started working at the local
Dollar Store. Within two months, Sparkle and her children moved into
a GAIHN duplex. Today, Sparkle is in school, studying to become a
medical assistant and the Abercrombies are looking for a place of
their own to rent.
Greenville operates approximately 20 duplexes and houses in their transitional
housing program. Families move into this housing only after they are stabilized in
the network and found a job. The usual stay is 6-8 months, with the longest being
2.5 years for two families who were working with Habitat on building their own
homes. Both have now gone from homelessness to home ownership!
The Greenville program builds on the engagement of congregations, allowing
volunteers to stay involved beyond IHN. They provide extra support, offer
counseling, help with budgeting, etc. Almost all of the housing units are owned by
the congregations, who maintain responsibility for their upkeep.

“Transitional housing
is an essential element
in many families
finding their way to
home and hope, and
a vital way for congregations to extend their
incredible expressions
of hospitality.”
Tony McDade,
Executive Director, GAIHN

Just Neighbors
Trails were blazed for Just
Neighbors in public education
through the introduction of the
Just Neighbors Community
Service Edition in late 2009.
The first offerings of the
program were made at the
mid-November NAEHCY
Conference in Denver. NAEHCY
(National Association for the
Education of Homeless
Children and Youth) partners
with Just Neighbors in the work
of protecting the educational
rights and services for
homeless children. Just
Neighbors is an attractive
program to them for professional development of faculty
and administration as well as
for community outreach.
Frank McCann, Director, Just Neighbors
“Just Neighbors doesn’t
criminalize or stigmatize
homelessness, rather it
explores the systemic nature
of the problem. I think it’s a
great thing, and we need to get
it in the hands of many people.
We believe in it.”
Barbara Wand James,
Director,Texas Homeless Education Office
10
A new feature, Poverty Facts in Your Neighborhood, was
added to the Just Neighbors website in the fall. This allows
toolkit owners to obtain the most up-to-date statistics on
poverty, work, housing and other topics covered in the
various Just Neighbors sessions. In addition, it offers users
the ability to compare local poverty statistics to the
national numbers used in the program.
This has already proved an invaluable resource. As an
example, a facilitator in Richmond,Virginia was challenged
by participants who said the kind of poverty shown in Just
Neighbors did not exist in Richmond. A quick review of
the facts showed that 34% of the children in Richmond
lived below the Federal Poverty Level. That was equivalent
to the reality in Newark, New Jersey and higher than the
rate of children living in poverty in New Orleans.
A monthly Just Neighbors email newsletter was
developed and test-marketed with Habitat for Humanity
affiliates as a way to share ideas and best practices on the
various uses of the program.
Voices Uniting
Advocacy Meeting, Hillsboro, OR
Voices Uniting volunteers were filled with anticipation as the year began.
The new Senate passed the Helping Families Save Their Homes Act on May
9th, as part of the administration’s stimulus and recovery package in
response to the struggling economy.
The Family Promise-supported initiative, Making Families Count, was a
critical component of the new law’s revised definition of homelessness, now
including those doubled up with families and friends or living in temporary
situations like hotels. Those in imminent danger of becoming homeless
were also covered under the bill. On May 20th, President Obama signed the
bill with the Homeless Emergency Assistance and Rapid Transition to
Housing (HEARTH) Act reauthorization included.
With the passage of the bill came a requirement of the United States
Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) to prepare and present to
Congress by May 20, 2010 a comprehensive plan to eliminate homelessness.
Members of national and regional advocacy groups, including Family
Promise, shared their experience and expertise with the USICH. Interaction
continues between members and the newly-appointed Executive Director
of the USICH, Barbara Poppe, to develop the plan.
Voices were uniting all year in support of funding the National Housing
Trust Fund (NHTF), with $1 billion proposed in President Obama’s FY 2010
budget. Unfortunately, the original funding source was to be profits from
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which subsequently required federal bailouts
themselves. Despite efforts to attach this funding to several bills, seed
funding for NHTF is yet to be appropriated.
