Who We Are

Our Story

The Family Promise Network is a national nonprofit organization with over 200 affiliates, established in 1985, on the belief that people are compassionate and want to make a difference.

 

Family Promise of Collin County (FPOCC) has been serving homeless families with children in Collin County since 2011. We provide food, shelter and support services to these families with children as they regain stability and independence. By mobilizing communities and existing resources to assist homeless families with children, FPOCC can provide food, shelter and support at a third of the cost of a traditional shelter program as they regain sustainable independence.

 

We recognize that poverty is a multifaceted problem that requires a multifaceted response. We respond by integrating educational outreach, smart programming, effective policies, and the hands-on work of thousands of volunteers. Our Affiliates are nonsectarian. They welcome all guests. Volunteers come from diverse backgrounds and represent nearly every faith in the United States.

Mission & Vision

Our Mission...
...is to help families with children experiencing homelessness achieve sustainable independence through a community-based response.

Our Vision...
... is to be a nation in which every family has a home, a livelihood, and the chance to build a better future.

Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
We are committed to preserving a culture of inclusion and collaboration that sees potential barriers as opportunities to thrive together. This is true to our staff, volunteers, church partners, board members, key stakeholders, and the communities we serve. The collective total of the individual differences, backgrounds and experiences, knowledge and skill sets, and talent that our staff and volunteers invest with their ‘Time, Talent, and Treasure’ represents not only part of our culture, but our reputation and measurement of success. In collaboration with those involved with our agency, we welcome the unique contributions that all bring relative to their education, opinions, culture, race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity and expression, nation of origin, age, language, veterans’ status, religion, disability, sexual orientation, and beliefs. From these inclusionary beliefs, we aspire to better ourselves and thusly to better serve the families at the heart of our Mission and Vision, not simply by the words of our statements, but by the actions and the way in which we carry ourselves.
