🏠 Shared Housing Intervention Program (SHIP): Bridging the Gap for Families in Crisis

In partnership with Genesee Intermediate School District & Family Promise of Mid Michigan

When a family is in crisis, stability starts with support. That’s the guiding belief behind the Shared Housing Intervention Program—SHIP—a collaborative effort between Family Promise of Mid Michigan and the Genesee Intermediate School District (GISD) McKinney-Vento Program serving both Genesee and Lapeer Counties.

Through SHIP, we provide wraparound support for families with children who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness—helping them navigate temporary housing situations, connect with resources, and build toward lasting stability.

💡 What is SHIP?

SHIP is designed to meet families where they are:

• Couch-surfing from house to house

• Doubling up with friends or relatives

• Self-paying for motel rooms

• Living in unsafe or temporary housing not meant to be permanent

Our goal is to help families move from survival mode to a place where they can thrive—with case management, financial coaching, life skills development, and access to basic needs all built into the program.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Who Can Join?

To be eligible for SHIP, families must:

• Be experiencing homelessness or at immediate risk

• Live in Genesee or Lapeer County

• Have at least one child (of any age) in the household

• Be referred by a McKinney-Vento school liaison

If you’re not sure who your liaison is, give us a call—we’re happy to help guide you.

🔧 What SHIP Provides

Each family is paired with a dedicated SHIP Case Manager who:

• Helps set goals and track progress

• Offers problem-solving support and advocacy

• Connects families to resources for housing, employment, and more

• Ensures kids can access our afterschool and summer programs

In addition, families may receive help with:

• Rental application fees and short-term rental support

• Financial counseling, budgeting, and debt reduction

• Diapers, food, cleaning supplies, and hygiene products

• Parenting education, transportation, and life skills

• Help obtaining vital documents like IDs and birth certificates

We also offer special programs like:

• Holiday Adopt-a-Family (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter)

• Tools for School supply drive

• Access to the Family Promise Graduate Program

⏳ How Long Does SHIP Last?

There’s no set time limit. Families can stay connected to SHIP for as long as it takes to reach housing stability and independence. Our approach is flexible, compassionate, and centered around each family’s unique journey.

🛎️ Need Help?

If you’re a parent in Genesee or Lapeer County and believe your family may qualify, please reach out to your school’s McKinney-Vento liaison. If you need help finding the right contact or have questions about SHIP, you can always contact us directly.
