INTERFAITH FAMILY SERVICES

We empower families in crisis to break the cycle of poverty. For 39 years, Interfaith Family Services has helped families work their way out of poverty by eliminating barriers to success, equipping parents with skills, and educating children. Our program, designed for both homeless families and those at-risk for homelessness, is designed to achieve five key goals. For parents, our focus is (1) sufficient income, (2) stable housing, (3) a savings safety-net, and (4) a self-care practice. For their children, it is simply (5) success in school. We exclusively target working poor families because they are the least likely to qualify for temporary assistance but the most likely to achieve long-term self-sufficiency when support is available. We serve 250 homeless and working poor families annually through our transitional housing program and rental assistance program to help families avoid homelessness.
