This team of community leaders are charged with moving forward toward serving the more then 500 identified school aged children in the 7 lower bucks county school districts. Together with local interfaith congregations Family Promise of Lower Bucks will provide a structured plan including lodging, food, support, training and love to help get the families back into self-sustainable housing.

Unlike other local programs candidates will be screened for substance abuse, criminal backgrounds and mental health issues prior to acceptance into the focused structure. Our program also requires there to be a school aged child in the family unit. We keep the family together while sleeping and having dinner and community time at local churches, mosques, temples and meeting houses.

A program coordinator will work with the Bucks County Continuum of Care and Homeless Placement hotline to help serve the many homeless people in Lower Bucks. Each family will have an active goal oriented structure that will require specific progress being made toward placement and financial stability.
