Family Empowerment Program

Family Empowerment Program Empowering groups from the broader Nashville community to enter into supportive relationships with people experiencing homelessness.

The Family Empowerment Program (FEP) is Catholic Charities' initiative to end family homelessness in Nashville. We provide case management services aimed to meet the needs of families-at-risk-for-homelessness and to help these neighbors achieve housing and financial stability. We find that often homeless families have experienced loss in social and community support. These families are in dire nee

d of support from their community. This is where volunteers come in–

The FEP offers unique service opportunities that meet specific needs of families in our program. These include volunteer roles to meet immediate needs (i.e. Home-cooked meals, welcome home teams), transitional needs (i.e. move-in crew, landlord partnerships), and social support needs (i.e. support circles, social event planning). Service opportunities are structured in a way which challenge volunteers' understandings of poverty and how they relate to neighbors in different walks of life. We believe that an intentional focus on friendship can and will make lasting impact on the eradication of homelessness.
