Congregational Shelter Program

The Family Promise Congregational Shelter Program offers temporary housing for families transitioning out of homelessness. Families in the program stay for one week at a time in area churches while they secure permanent homes. Family Promise re-started the shelter program in July 2022, after COVID closed the program for more than 2 years. We are excited to host families on our Winter Park campus 4 weeks per year. Specific sign-ups will be available prior to each host week.

2024 Host Weeks:

  • January 21-28
  • April 21-28
  • July 28-August 4
  • November 3-10

Next Host Week: November 3-10
