Скачать или смотреть The NEST - Emergency Shelter at FMF

The NEST (Neighbors Experiencing Success Together) is Families Moving Forward's Emergency Shelter Program for families with children in the crisis of homelessness. Watch to hear Tia's story.

The NEST is our core program that transitions families to stability and self-sufficiency. It helps our guests identify and overcome the root causes of homelessness while teaching essential life skills like financial literacy, employment strategies, and family health and wellness. We work with parents to find jobs and to secure and sustain affordable, permanent housing. In July, FMF transitioned to an
emergency model with a goal of families exiting in 90 days.

The NEST accommodates 21 families (serving 80-100 families per year) in our safe and secure residential environment for up to three months. FMF offers intensive case management and a variety of programs run by our collaborative group of staff, volunteers, faith-based organizations and partner agencies throughout the community. Volunteers play a crucial role by providing warm hospitality and loving support, serving meals and hosting evening programming for both adults and children.
