Organizations Filed Purposes: WE EMPOWER FAMILIES IN CRISIS TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY. FOR OVER 35 YEARS, INTERFAITH FAMILY SERVICES HAS HELPED FAMILIES WORK THEIR WAY OUT OF POVERTY BY ELIMINATING BARRIERS TO SUCCESS, EQUIPPING PARENTS WITH SKILLS, AND EDUCATING CHILDREN. OUR PROGRAM, DESIGNED FOR BOTH HOMELESS FAMILIES AND THOSE AT-RISK FOR HOMELESSNESS, IS DESIGNED TO ACHIEVE FIVE KEY GOALS. FOR PARENTS, OUR FOCUS IS (1) SUFFICIENT INCOME, (2) STABLE HOUSING, (3) A SAVINGS SAFETY-NET, AND (4) A SELF-CARE PRACTICE. FOR THEIR CHILDREN, IT IS SIMPLY (5) SUCCESS IN SCHOOL. WE EXCLUSIVELY TARGET WORKING POOR FAMILIES BECAUSE THEY ARE THE LEAST LIKELY TO QUALIFY FOR TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE BUT THE MOST LIKELY TO ACHIEVE LONG-TERM SELF-SUFFICIENCY WHEN SUPPORT IS AVAILABLE.

WE EMPOWER FAMILIES IN CRISIS TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF POVERTY.

Case Management- is designed for individuals who are unemployed or struggling financially. This program allows families, who do not reside with the Organization, to have access to the Organizations resources including GED/ESL,vocational training, career coaching, free childcare, optional rental and/or utility assistance, financial coaching and counseling services.

Residential Program- provides housing for homeless families in one of our 23 lovingly decorated, furnished apartments. The apartments are rent-free if families enter the program unemployed. Upon obtaining employment, the Organization requires a monthly occupancy charge of 30% of the net family income. To encourage savings, Interfaith returns 100% of that charge to families who meet the savings target and successfully complete all other program requirements.
