Family Promise Of Morris County Inc.

What Family Promise Of Morris County Inc. does

Family Promise of Morris County Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1988 (originally as Interfaith Hospitality Network) that delivers shelter, housing, and outreach services to families and individuals experiencing homelessness or housing insecurity across Morris County, New Jersey. The organization is one of two lead agencies for the county's Coordinated Entry system and operates as an independent affiliate of Family Promise National, providing services free of charge to guests.

Service delivery is structured across three program areas: Shelter Programs (motel-based emergency and transitional shelter, in use since March 2020 after a COVID-19 pivot from congregation-based shelter); Housing Programs (the Keys to Housing voucher program managing 40+ federal, regional, and local housing vouchers, plus Rapid Rehousing, Community Support, and a Landlord Support Program); and Outreach Programs (the Our Promise Drop-In Center at the First Baptist Church of Morristown, the Navigating Hope mobile outreach van, and a Coordinated Entry access point). The underlying delivery model relies on a community network of 80+ partner congregations providing meals and overnight staffing, a 1,600+ volunteer base, and cross-sector partnerships with the Morris County Department of Human Services, Housing Authority County of Morris, Zufall Health Center, Morris Habitat for Humanity, and other local organizations.

The organization is funded through individual donations (via the Give Lively platform), corporate sponsorships and event underwriting, government grants and housing-voucher pass-throughs, in-kind contributions (approximately $0.5 million annually including toiletries, food, clothing, and gift cards), and the implicit labor value of its volunteer network. It reports that 79-83% of every dollar received directly supports families facing homelessness. In 2024 the organization served 149 families through shelter and housing programs and logged 9,000+ in-person outreach interactions; in 2025 it served 169 individuals and logged 16,441 outreach interactions.
