Misson and Vision

Misson

Inspiring women with a history of incarceration, in prison, or at risk of incarceration to design a thriving life journey using newly learned tools and strategies for success.

Vision

A society where all women have the opportunity to live fulfilling lives.

When women impacted by the justice system gain strategies and tools to lead productive lives, they can make better choices because they will have more choices. Every year, thousands of women return to incarceration because they don’t have a way to address the root causes that sent them there in the first place: trauma and low self-esteem that led to substance abuse or the lack of education that prevents them from earning a living wage. The reasons are complicated.

PREVENTION & DIVERSION

We are there when a family’s homelessness is imminent, and we work to avoid the trauma of a family losing their housing. Our Affiliates do this through:

  • Case management and community support
  • Rental assistance, security deposits
  • Utility support
  • Landlord mediation
  • Housing location
  • Transportation – gas cards, bus passes, and car donations

Keeping families out of shelter is good public policy and good fiscal policy. When families have lost housing and reach out to Family Promise, we provide alternatives to shelter, including:

  • Temporary hotel/motel stays
  • Payments for rent in arrears, security deposits
  • Landlord mediation and housing location
  • Creative solutions leveraging a family’s strengths
