About

This year, Escambia County has documented over 1,000 cases of unsheltered homeless. Although there are shelters in our area, most shelter women and children exclusively, or women only or men only. Family Promise is a national nonprofit committed to helping families facing homelessness stay together and achieve lasting independence.

Family Promise of Escambia County is dedicated to helping families in Northwest Florida through community-based response, one family at a time.

This is where our project LeaP Home comes in. We will come together with Family Promise to remodel a local church-owned home for temporary use by families working toward housing stability. The church has partnered with Family Promise to host families in need.

​

Our goal is to raise $75,000 to ensure that the house is ready for families. It will not only be brought up to date so that it is livable but also will be filled with things to make it fell like home. The project includes structural work, new appliances, flooring, light fixtures, furniture, kitchen supplies, bath towels, decor, and anything else that will make families that enter the doors feel at home.

​

To accomplish this, we need your support. Monetary donations are the best way to support our efforts. This gives us the best provision while working on the project. 

Together, we will help families within our community to escape homelessness and LeaP Home.
