Promise House will provide the
next level of support to our families during their journey. Our program
will serve as a bridge between homelessness and sustainable living. It
will initially consist of a duplex unit with three bedrooms in each unit. We
are currently in the process of remodeling these units which were generously
donated to Family Promise of Lycoming County by Wells Fargo. These
renovations are being funded in many ways including a matching grant program
with First Community Foundation Partnership of Pennsylvania, countless
volunteer hours, private and government grants, individual contributions and
generous donations from other community business donors. Your
generous purchase of a brick will help fund the renovation of our duplex
house. The engraved bricks will be used in construction and will
become a lasting testament of your support.
Our families will be eligible to apply for one of
the units once they have successfully met the graduation requirements of the
Family Promise program. While in Promise House our families are welcome to stay
up to a 18-24 month period. Families continue to receive case management
and other support services from Family Promise to help ensure that they do
not slip back into homelessness and that the changes Family Promise has guided
them to make are lifelong.
Promise House is
an extension of Family Promise of Lycoming County (www.familypromiselycoming.org).
