Stronger Together isn’t just a phrase—it’s a vision. It's a belief that when we stand united as one Family Promise Montco, we can turn promise into action for the most vulnerable to build a better future.

For years, Family Promise has provided shelter, support, and hope to hundreds of families. But today, many of the safety net programs our families rely on are facing significant funding cuts. 

What’s Happening?

Vital programs like Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Medicaid are experiencing funding reductions.  Food pantries, including ours, are seeing an increase in demand while resources like The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP) are being scaled back. Cuts to federal nutrition programs also mean fewer fresh, local foods for schools, and food pantries. 

The Impact of New Legislation

Recent changes at the federal level are expected to affect thousands of Pennsylvanians.  According to state estimates 3,000 Pennsylvanians could lose Medicaid and 140,000 could lose food assistance. Local agencies like Family Promise will be asked to do more with less.

Why It Matter

These aren’t just numbers—they are our neighbors, our community.  They are children who rely on school meals, parents balancing multiple jobs to stay afloat, and neighbors turning to local organizations for help during this crisis.  These cuts will directly affect our ability to help families stay housed, fed, and healthy.

What You Can Do
In this moment, there is power: the power of what we can achieve when we come together with purpose and compassion to take action.

On June 4, Family Promise participated in a Day of Advocacy in Harrisburg alongside the Bucks-Mont Collaborative and 100 nonprofit leaders. Staff, board members, and volunteers represented Family Promise in discussions with legislators about housing insecurity, homelessness, and behavioral health. The day included over 25 meetings with lawmakers from Bucks and Montgomery Counties. Participants had multiple opportunities to learn, share, and advocate for affordable housing and stronger behavioral health systems.

Key highlights included:

• Meetings with Senator Maria Collett, Representatives Tim Briggs, Amanda Cappelletti, Melissa Cerrato, Nancy Guenst, Art Haywood, Liz Hanbidge, Ryan Mackenzie, Steve Malagari, Ben Sanchez, Donna Scheuren, and Joe Webster, and Akbar Hossain, Secretary of Policy and Planning
• A press conference, panel discussion, and legislative staff meet-and-greet
• Sharing lived experiences and insights on the challenges facing local families

Good news: Since the event, the PA House passed HB1095, a bill to seal eviction records, with a vote of 105–98—a significant step toward housing stability.

Today, we're proud to share the inspiring story of K. and her young son, R.

After spending 90 days in our Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) Emergency Shelter, K. and R. successfully transitioned into permanent housing—a major milestone in their journey. During their time in the program, K. worked closely with her case manager to build a strong foundation for her family’s future. She secured Child Care Information Services (CCIS), enrolled R. in a local daycare, found employment, increased her county benefits, accessed mental health support, and ultimately achieved stable housing.

K.’s determination, paired with the compassionate support of our staff and volunteers, led to a powerful transformation. Her story is a testament to what’s possible when resilience meets opportunity. Congratulations, K. We celebrate your strength and wish you and R. all the best in this exciting new chapter.
