Family Promise of Greater Denver is dedicated to providing shelter, meals, and supportive services to families experiencing homelessness on the path to self-sufficiency.

Family Promise of Greater Denver began serving families experiencing homelessness in 1997. Since then, we've helped more than 1,200 families, including 2,000 children. We're part of a national network of 200+ affiliates that partner with faith communities to provide shelter, meals, and hospitality for families. Holy Cross began participating in the Family Promise Program in 2017.

It costs $37.50 to shelter a family of 3 each night.

$100 provides 4 emergency gift cards for family's appointments and job interviews.
$153 keeps one child safely housed through our Diversion/Prevention Program.
