Family Promise of Albuquerque is a non-profit organization that assists families who are at risk for homelessness, currently experiencing homelessness, or recently exiting homelessness. The core of our program is our shelter, where we strive to help as many families with children as possible. No matter how families define their household, or where children are concerned, we are here to help.
Family Promise of Albuquerque is also a community that wraps its arms around the families we serve to provide them with a network of support throughout their journey. This community is made up of over 700 volunteers from 21 different faith communities in the Albuquerque and Rio Rancho area. Prior to COVID-19 we also utilized the space in 18 congregations of these faith communities to provide overnight shelter, with families rotating between congregations on a weekly basis. During COVID we have been utilizing a static site at one of the congregations and will be purchasing our own static site/ day center building in late February 2021.
Family Promise of Albuquerque believes that each individual from each family that utilizes our services has within them all that they need to be successful. Sometimes, for whatever reason, the individuals we serve lose sight of those abilities. Our staff works with each family individually and collaboratively to help them rediscover their strengths and abilities. While providing wrap-around services to help families address and overcome barriers to employment and housing, our staff empowers families to begin their journey to achieve sustainable independence.
