Family Promise of Irving

Family Promise of Irving Family Promise of Irving is a faith-based non-profit ministry that provides shelter for families who are experiencing homelessness.

Family Promise of Irving is affiliated with the nationwide Family Promise which began in New York City in 1986. 80% of the families who complete the program have secured permanent housing. How does Family Promise Work? Host Churches commit to sharing the responsibility of hosting 3-5 families every night (5pm to 7am) for seven nights, every 10 – 13 weeks. Meals are provided for the families by vol

unteers of the host church. Tutoring, activities and companionship are offered to the guests by volunteers who arrive after dinner. Overnight Hosts (one male and one female) stay with the guests until breakfast volunteers arrive. Families are transported to and from the host church in a network van driven by host church volunteers. During the day, the families go to the day facility where they work with the Network Director to develop a plan for finding housing, jobs or job training. The Day Facility serves as the permanent address for families and is also where the families take care of personal needs (showers, laundry, etc.) Interested in getting involved or just want to know more?

Last night was something truly special. ❤️

Our Night of Promise was filled with so much love, hope, and community and it’s all because of YOU!

To everyone who showed up, sponsored, donated, volunteered, shared our mission, and believed in the families we serve… thank you doesn’t feel big enough. Because of your support, families in our community are one step closer to stability, to peace, to home.

Watching a family bravely share their story, seeing a room full of people lean in with compassion, and feeling the joy and connection throughout the night… it’s a reminder of why we do what we do.

This work is not easy but nights like this remind us we’re not doing it alone.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of the promise. ✨

This is why we do what we do. 💜

We’re so excited to share this special video message from one of our program graduates! A strong, determined mom who moved into her own apartment with her daughter by her side wanted us to share this with you all. ❤️

Her words are a beautiful reminder that when a community comes together, lives truly change. Every volunteer hour, every donation, every act of encouragement helped make this moment possible.

Watch her message, celebrate her success, and join us in cheering her in this next chapter with confidence and hope. ✨

Shelter Program Openings Available

We currently have openings in our in-shelter program for families experiencing homelessness.

Our program is not an emergency shelter. It is a structured, supportive program where families stay in our shelter facility while working toward long-term stability.

Families in the program receive wraparound case management services and commit to working on our three core goals:
• Make Money – securing or increasing income
• Save Money – building financial stability
• Find Housing – securing permanent housing

While in the program, families live in community with other families and are supported by our amazing, loving, and trauma-informed volunteers who provide dinner during the week and encouragement along the way. 💙

Basic qualifications include (but are not limited to):
• Must have children under the age of 18 in their care
• Must be able to pass a drug screening
• Must be able to pass a background check
• Must not be experiencing current domestic violence

If you believe our program may be a good fit, please apply using the link below. After submitting the application, a member of our team will reach out to review the information and discuss next steps.

Apply here: https://form.jotform.com/240516253004140

We are thrilled to celebrate an incredible milestone for one amazing mom and her four children! 🏡💛

This family of five entered our in-shelter program sharing a one-bedroom, one-bathroom space. Through determination, hard work, and commitment to her goals, mom focused on increasing her income, saving consistently, and building a strong foundation for her family’s future.

She has officially graduated into our transitional shelter program, moving into a three-bedroom, two-bathroom home. This next step gives her the space and stability she deserves—along with time to continue saving, get into the rhythm of paying rent, and prepare for permanent housing of her own.

We are so proud of her resilience and dedication, and we are honored to walk alongside her on this journey. Please join us in celebrating this powerful accomplishment and cheering her on as she continues moving forward! 🌟👏

✨ A Milestone Worth Celebrating ✨

Today, our hearts are overflowing as we celebrate the first graduate family of the year from our in-shelter program. 💛

This incredible mom-and-daughter duo faced challenges that would have stopped many — but instead, they rose. With courage, determination, and an unbreakable bond, Mom set goals and crushed every single one of them. She worked hard, earned income, saved diligently, and refused to give up — not just for herself, but for her daughter’s future.

And now… the moment they’ve been working toward is here. 🏡
Mom is moving into her much-deserved apartment, carrying with her confidence, stability, and the powerful knowledge that she did this.

This is what resilience looks like.
This is what hope in action feels like.
This is why we do what we do.

Please join us in celebrating this amazing family and cheering them on as they step into their next chapter! 💜

Thank you to every volunteer and congregation who stood with us at our Volunteer Appreciation Christmas Party. The impact we celebrated in 2025 exists because of your time, your faithfulness, and your willingness to show up again and again. This work does not happen without you.

That night, we also marked a moment that matters.

After six years of steadfast service as Case Manager, Josey steps into her new role as Director of Program Development and Family Services this January. Her leadership, devotion to families, and deep roots in our mission have helped shape who we are today, and who we are becoming.

We are grateful for her heart, her courage, and the future unfolding before us. 💙
