Who We Are
Family Promise of Southwest New Jersey is an affiliate of a nationwide organization whose mission is to help homeless working families achieve sustainable independence through a community-based response. Our vision is a nation in which every family has a home, a livelihood, and the chance to build a better future. Our affiliate was founded in 2003 and welcomed our first family in December of 2005. We are managed by a Board of Trustees and employ a Chief Executive Officer and an Executive Director of Programs and Services to manage daily operations. We harness the resources of over 500 volunteers throughout our community and partner with a variety of other nonprofit and social service organizations to assist families in reaching their goals of permanent housing.
​
Our mission is to provide households experiencing homelessness or are at risk of homelessness, an opportunity to achieve stability by providing comprehensive shelter diversion/homeless prevention, or transitional housing services.
