Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Family Promise of Midland is committed to helping low-income families, facing homelessness, in the Midland, Texas area achieve independence. Family Promise of Midland is the one, and only, program in this area that reaches out to the single-parent, as well as the two-parent family, maintaining the family unit, providing free childcare and case management services as they strive to achieve lasting sustainability. Family promise is striving to end family homelessness, one family at a time!
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Family Promise of Midland's Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) provides meals, hospitality and support services for families accepted into the program. All basic expenses are paid. Adults in the program are required to be in full-time employment or full-time school or a combination of the two. Families are required to save 80% of their income, which may be used to pay down debt.
The Families Forward Transitional Housing provides a home that is owned and maintained by Family Promise of Midland for a low, monthly program fee. Again, all adults are required to work and/or go to school and child daycare is provided. These families are required to save 20% of their income. Case management and counseling services are provided to the families in both programs.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Family Promise of Midland's Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) partners with thirteen or more local congregations that rotate on a weekly basis to provide meals, hospitality and support services for up to four families and/or 14 people at a time. United Way of Midland and local foundations grant yearly funding to pay for child daycare. Counseling services are provided to the families through various community service collaborations. The Family Promise of Midland Board of Directors is extremely involved in the success, supporting various donation drives, including an annual clay shoot event.
Through local, private support, Family Promise of Midland just completed a $6.5 million build of expanding and renovating it's Day Center, along with a beautiful complex of 5 additional duplexes for it's Families Forward family transitional housing program. Capacity has grown from being able to serve 8 families in 2021, to now being able to serve 18 families at any one time.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Progress is measured on a family-by-family basis. The Family Promise Case Managers meet with each family at least once a month to review their progress. The three-strikes-you're-out rule is utilized so that program rules are maintained. Success is measured by the accomplishment of each family's goals, as well as compliance to the Family Promise of Midland rules. Families in the MIHN (Midland Interfaith Hospitality Network) program that have achieved their goals are graduated out of the program. These families may choose to apply to enter the Families Forward Transitional Housing program.
Families in the Families Forward Transitional Housing have a maximum two-year stay, however many families choose to graduate before that time has expired. Since its inception in January 2011, April 21, 2022, Family Promise of Midland has served 128 homeless families. That includes a total of 439 people – 158 adults and 281 children.
We've had 5 families go from homelessness to homeOWNERship upon graduation!
