"My family experienced true kindness here."    - a Family Promise guest

Did you know:
     - Infants under 1 are more likely to experience homelessness than people of any other age.
     - After infants, children ages 1-5 are the second most likely to experience homelessness.
     - In a typical school year, over 3000 children enrolled in Multnomah County school districts are listed as homeless.
     - FPME consistently has over 400 people on our waitlist.

So what are we doing about it?
     - Opening a new family shelter site by January 2027 in partnership with Grace Memorial Episcopal Church
        - Doubling our operational capacity to serve twice as many families in shelter, including hiring a new case manager.
        - Assisting 30 families per year transition from shelter to stable housing, a 100% increase from our current outcomes.    

Family Promise of Metro East invites you to join a circle of visionary donors making leadership gifts over three years.

• $100,000 - Funding for a new case manager to help hundreds of family members move toward long-term housing stability
• $50,000 - Covers a significant portion of the new shelter's annual rent
• $25,000 - Helps over 20 families remain safely housed through eviction prevention
• $15,000 - Keeps new shelter safe and welcoming through maintenance and repairs
• $10,000 - Equips families with essential household supplies for dignity and stability
• $5,000 - Supports the infrastructure for our expansion to serve more families
• $2,500 - Covers the gas bill to help keep the new shelter site open 365 days a year
