Family Promise secures $20,000 grant from Clayton to prevent homelessness

Submitted

Family Promise of Hamilton County (FPOHC) recently received a $20,000 grant from homebuilder Clayton, ensuring that families in Hamilton County receive the support they need to stay safely housed.

The grant is a portion of the $2 million Clayton is donating to the Family Promise national network. The funds are a result of the recently announced partnership extension between Family Promise and Clayton.

A Future Begins at Home, the initiative created through this collaboration is focused on supporting families experiencing homelessness by helping them remain in their homes and quickly regain stability. Since its inception in 2019, A Future Begins at Home has helped catalyze over $14 million in additional funding, resulting in more than 43,000 families served.

“We’re grateful to continue our partnership with Clayton and the impact it brings to our community,” FPOHC Executive Director Alicia Klingerman said. “This grant will help families stay safely housed and create a path toward long-term stability.”

In addition to Clayton’s generous financial support, they have donated 20 homes to the Family Promise national network since 2019. These homes are used primarily as transitional housing, allowing families to stay together while receiving case management and support services as they work toward permanent housing.
