- Family Promise (formerly National Interfaith Hospitality Network) is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in the United States, founded by Karen Olson in 1988. Family Promise primarily serves families with children who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, with the mission of "help[ing] homeless and low-income families achieve sustainable independence through a community-based response." Family Promise organizes congregations, social service agencies and community members into volunteer coalitions called Affiliates that provide emergency shelter and wraparound services to homeless and at-risk families. The model of the core program emphasizes sustainability and relies on resources that are already available to the locales served. Though each Affiliate coordinates its own programming for transitional housing, case management, family mentoring, financial literacy classes and childcare, all receive staff training and program assistance from the national office. The national office of the organization is located in Summit, New Jersey, from where national staff develops new Affiliates and provides technical assistance to existing Affiliates. Presently, Family Promise draws on the efforts of more than 180,000 active volunteers from both secular community organizations and a 6,000 congregation-strong interfaith coalition operating across more than 200 affiliates, in 42 U.S. states.
