1. Our Purpose and Your Journey

The primary purpose of Family Promise of Puget Sound’s shelter program is to provide comprehensive services and support to families who are committed to attaining and maintaining stable residence in Pierce County. Our services are designed to offer more than just temporary shelter; they include dedicated assistance in obtaining stable housing, securing sustainable income, and accessing essential resources that will help you and your family achieve and maintain long-term self-sufficiency.

Prior to your stay at Family Promise of Puget Sound, your family will be required to meet with a member of our Case Management Team.
