About
For more than 40 years, Family Promise Montco PA (formerly Inter-Faith Housing Alliance) has partnered with religious congregations, dedicated volunteers, and generous donors to help Montgomery County families experiencing poverty and homelessness. The services we offer—emergency food relief; emergency, transitional, and supportive housing; and aftercare—help families to preserve their dignity and work toward or maintain self-sufficiency.
Is There Homelessness and Hunger in Montgomery County?
The answer, unfortunately, is yes.
The 2024 point-in-time count of homelessness in Montco identified 435 individuals sleeping in the County’s emergency shelters, transitional housing sites, or outdoors, up from 357 people in 2023. And this count does not include “invisible” homelessness—families and children who are temporarily staying in hotels or couch-surfing with friends or family.
Feeding America estimated that in 2022 (the most recent data available) 17,660 children in Montco were not getting enough to eat.
Recognition
We were recognized in 2014 as a Zone of Peace by the Religious Leaders Council of Greater Philadelphia for our efforts to address root causes of violence: poverty, homelessness, hunger, and family instability. The Eastern Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce recognized us as the 2014 Humanitarian Organization of the Year, an award for organizations that make significant contributions to the community using an innovative approach to service delivery. We were awarded an Upper Dublin Medal for Outstanding Nonprofit in 2020.
