FAMILY PROMISE-SALT LAKE

Families work with Case Management for up to two years in order to strengthen the skills they need to succeed. The Case Manager helps connect families to community resources, such as: child care, employment, education, health care, legal services and other necessities for sustainable living.

Family Promise has 5 transitional apartments available to families who have graduated from the Emergency Shelter Program. Families sign a Transitional Housing Program application. Upon admission into the program, families continue to receive Case Management. The purpose of transitional housing is to provide extra support to families with challenging barriers that require additional time and resources to resolve. While in the Transitional Housing Program, families take family budgeting class and good tenancy classes in anticipation of moving to independent sustainable housing.

Upon leaving Family Promise Salt Lake's Emergency Shelter Program or Transitional Housing Program, families are encouraged to continue working with Family Promise Salt Lake's case managers to help ensure a lasting and permanent place to call home.

Family Promise Salt Lake is able to keep individuals and families sheltered utilizing area hotels and motels. This is accomplished in the winter months. Participants in the program are tracked for future services.

Family Promise Salt Lake staff work with area property owners/managers incentivizing them thus allowing Family Promise Salt Lake guests a better chance to find affordable and sustainable housing.
