When a family arrives at Family Promise, the family already has exhausted all of its options to keep the family together on its own. Family Promise of Grayson County provides 24-hour shelter, meals, transportation and supportive services for families with children. The program is a partnership with faith communities throughout Grayson County.
In partnership with Family Promise of Grayson County, congregations provide overnight lodging to our guests. Congregations usually convert religious education or meeting rooms into private or semi-private bedrooms for each family. A home-cooked dinner, sack lunches, breakfast, and access to shower and laundry facilities are provided every day.
A host congregation hosts guests from about 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. for one week. On Sundays, guests move to a new congregation. Family Promise of Grayson County provides families with a Day Center to use as their “Home Base” during their stay. At the Day Center, guests work on self-sufficiency plans, employment searches, and budget management.
Guests attend counseling, parenting classes, and meet with the Case Manager on a weekly basis.
If you are a family with children 17 years and under and without a home, you may qualify for Family Promise of Grayson County.
