FAMILY RENEW COMMUNITY INC

What FAMILY RENEW COMMUNITY INC does

Family Renew Community is a 501(c)(3) faith-based nonprofit founded in September 1989 by 20 religious organizations to provide temporary housing to homeless families with children in Volusia County, Florida. Its core offering is a transitional housing program that places families in free, unfurnished rent-and-utility-free one- and two-bedroom apartments for an average of 6-7 months, paired with on-site case management covering employment, budgeting, parenting, debt repayment, credit repair, savings accumulation (50% of income), and children's enrichment (MakerSpace, gardens). The portfolio comprises four residential campuses — Holly Hill (14 units), Daytona Beach (11 units), DeLand (7 units), and a planned Edgewater location — totaling 32 apartments, plus the Beyond Homelessness after-care and prevention program. The stated all-in cost per family is $9,600.

The organization is governed by a board of trustees representing 21 religious congregations that provide volunteer labor, in-kind support, donated apartment units, and recurring financial contributions. Operations are supported by a staff of approximately 12-15 led by an Executive Director (Lindsay Elliott, appointed September 23, 2024) and a Director of Retail Operations who runs Secret Attic Thrift Store in Ormond Beach. The thrift store generates revenue from donated goods, partially furnishes apartments, and provides employment-adjacent retail activity.

Family Renew's revenue model is a hybrid of fundraising and earned income: individual donations (one-time and recurring, including a 35th-anniversary $35/month subscription and Guardian Angels Society pledge program), corporate sponsorships and event fundraising (Artists with Hearts of Gold, Ice Cream Social), foundation and government grants (Hope Florida, No Kid Hungry, Publix Charities, Jeep Beach, Walmart Foundation, United Way of Volusia-Flagler, FL DCF), in-kind donations of goods and labor, and thrift store retail revenue. Outreach channels include the familyrenew.org website, blog/newsroom, Facebook, X/Twitter, Constant Contact email newsletter, and signature events. Programs serve families experiencing homelessness across Volusia County with reported outcomes including 70 families (including 141 children) housed in 2021, 30 families exiting homelessness that year, and 89-95% long-term housing stability post-exit across 1,990+ families served since founding.
