Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Family Services, Human Services
Mission: Family promise of southern chester county (fpscc) was created to address the growing problem of homelessness in families with children in the communities defined by the four southern chester county school districts kennett, avon grove, oxford and unionville-chadds ford.
Programs: The fpscc provides housing, wholesome food and basic necessities for families with children experiencing homelessness. The goal of the organization is to move families to self-sufficiency, providing them with a yearlong aftercare program following the sheltering component to ensure continued success. Comprehensive services include but are not limited to employment assistance, education in budgeting and parenting, as well as family/individual counseling. Once families are in a financial position to move into an apartment, help is provided to find and furnish the new home with everything needed from furniture to dishware to linens. Fpscc stays in touch with our families indefinitely, supplying holiday gifts, school supplies, and other life necessities. Homelessness is a very stressful and traumatic experience. We are proud to have placed 24 families with 52 children and 85 total participants into permanent housing to date.
