What is Family Promise? 

Family Promise of Morris County transforms the lives of families and individuals by serving the community through all stages of life to prevent or end homelessness or housing insecurity. 

“In over 30 years of existence, Family Promise of Morris County has expanded from a single Shelter program to offering just under ten programs. Encompassing the areas of Shelter, Rapid Rehousing &Diversion, Housing, and Outreach, our programs have transformed over time to best support both families and individuals. Our commitment to improving Morris County’s overall housing, economic, health and wellness outcomes is evident in our continual development of programming to best meet the needs of our community.” 

Family Promise’s also works with Our Promise Outreach Center, which is based out of The First Baptist Church of Morristown. The Outreach Program serves the needs of people who are chronically and temporarily homeless, veterans, people who are exiting from jails and hospitals, youth, LGBTQ+, and people who are precariously housed. They provide the following: phone and computer access, a mailing address, restrooms, a warming / cooling center, information and referrals, a connection to medical, mental health and dental services, case management, systems advocacy, and more.
