[FLINT, MI, 4 APRIL 2024]—In a concerted effort to combat the housing crisis affecting our community, Family Promise of Mid Michigan is hosting a Community Gathering on April 16th at its new Day Center within St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. Along with current partners, they invite people who are curious about how to help support needy families.


Families facing housing instability right here in our midst are finding hope and assistance through the coordinated efforts of Family Promise of Mid Michigan and its network of partners. Through innovative programs and compassionate outreach, they are making significant strides in addressing this pressing issue affecting many.


Family Promise of Mid Michigan and its partners have developed comprehensive strategies to aid families experiencing housing crises as part of their commitment to serving the community. By providing more than shelter, access to resources, and case management guidance toward long-term stability, they offer a lifeline to those in need.


“We recognize the urgency of the housing crisis in our community and are dedicated to providing immediate support to families facing instability,” says Tiffani Wharry, Executive Director of Family Promise of MidMichigan. “A cost-effective alternative to traditional shelter, our holistic approach encompasses prevention, diversion, stabilization, and short-term emergency shelter. We empower and provide an outlet to avoid duplication of services for others in the community with like-minded goals of helping struggling families.  We offer comprehensive solutions that address the root causes of a housing crisis that often can lead to homelessness and provide pathways to sustainable housing.”
