We help children and
their families in temporary need of housing.
Family Promise of South Sarasota County (FPSSC) applies a faith-based approach to our shelter program by actively engaging the faith community. This allows us to show grace and compassion towards our neighbors in need while providing support that aligns with our mission to serve families facing housing insecurity. By partnering with local faith groups, we work together to provide comprehensive care and shelter to those in need, reinforcing our commitment to helping families achieve lasting self-sufficiency.
Who We Are
We help families in transition to take the first step. There are over 450 children in South Sarasota County schools who have been identified as housing insecure. At Family Promise, we help families with minor children who are in temporary need of housing.
How We Help
We help children and their families in Sarasota County get back on their feet. We provide shelter, meals, basic needs (clothing, toiletries, and personal items), case management, referrals, and resources to families in transition.
How You Can Help
Your support helps us to temporarily feed, house, and find stable jobs for families in transition. The average stay in our program is 9 weeks. Few families ever find the need to return. There are many ways to support Family Promise of South Sarasota County.
