In the time of the novel coronavirus, crisis knows no bounds and in the case of family homelessness the realities have become harsher than years before in the Valley of the Sun, outreach officials say.
“COVID has forced families to shelter in place 24/7 at Family Promise ‘Day’ Centers since March 13 with host volunteers from one of 50 congregations dropping off meals and groceries daily,” said Lisa Randall, who serves as community relations manager at Family Promise. “A joint effort with the Family Promise social work team quickly puts parents back on the path toward employment, independent housing and self-sufficiency.”
The mission of Family Promise, which is based in south Scottsdale, is to provide emergency shelter and social services to help families move toward independent housing and self-sufficiency.
