Through a coordinated effort and partnership with 23 faith communities of various traditions in Washoe County, families are provided with three meals a day, and a safe place to sleep at night.

During the day, families utilize the Family Promise Day Center which acts as a home base. At the Day Center families have use of a telephone, laundry and shower facilities, Internet for job searches and completion of school projects, and an address from which important applications can be submitted.

Family Promise staff help families set goals that will be worked on during their stay in the IHN program with a focus being on permanent housing and stable and sustainable income.

During June of 2007 Family Promise began offering aftercare to families who moved out of the IHN program and into housing. The Case Manager will work with families for one year after they graduate from the IHN program.

Currently guests in the IHN program, and families in aftercare are able to participate in financial literacy classes offered by Wells Fargo Bank, utilizing their Hands on Banking curriculum.
