Family Promise North Shore Boston Inc

General programs encompass the wide range of services and support provided to families who are not formally enrolled in our core programs of homelessness prevention, shelter diversion, or families forward. This includes one-time or short-term case management, referrals to community resources, and assistance with immediate needs when families reach out for help. General programs also account for expenses that benefit or support multiple program areas, such as community outreach, volunteer coordination, and shared administrative costs. By maintaining this flexible program area, family promise north shore boston is able to respond to urgent requests, connect families with the right resources, and ensure that our core programs operate effectively.

The families forward program provides aftercare and housing stabilization services to families once they have secured permanent housing through our prevention or diversion programs. While less intensive than the support offered during a housing crisis, this program ensures that families continue to have the guidance and resources they need to remain stable. Staff meet monthly with families to review budgets, income, expenses, and progress toward reducing debt. Beyond financial check-ins, families forward offers problem-solving support and connections to community resources, such as after-school or summer camp programs, childcare assistance, or other specialized services.
