Have you checked out our website lately?? We had a high school student reach out to us to ask if he could volunteer and help us with any of out technology needs. We had been planning on updating and revamping our website and he was more than happy to help! Anything that he did not know, he researched and found a way to make it happen for us. It is so refreshing and encouraging to have people reach out, willing to donate their time and efforts out of the goodness of their hearts. 🥰 THANK YOU, Jordan!!

What will this College Admissions Boot Camp Cover???

A lot has changed about the admissions process and it is now -- arguably -- one of the most complicated, stressful, and overwhelming periods of parenting. And that's why Elevated Admissions launched this Boot Camp.

Whether your teen is a freshman just starting to think about college, or a junior already on the front edge of the process, our Boot Camp is designed to take you from feeling overwhelmed to being informed and ready to guide your student through all of the stages required.

We'll cover six core topics over eight weeks, allowing for a two week break over Fourth of July. At the end of each thirty minute session, there will be fifteen minutes for Q&A so you can make sure you really understand the material. Plus, all of the sessions will be posted on our website so you will be able to reference the material in real time later, as you're working with your student.

Family Promise is in the Business of Stress Manage

Family Promise is in the Business of Stress Management

TJ never anticipated the chain reaction his health issues would trigger. When he was suddenly hospitalized for an extended period, his family fell behind on rent and their landlord initiated eviction proceedings. Suddenly, the prospect of homelessness became a constant conversation as they worried about the future.

Fortunately, they were able to remain in their home thanks to Family Promise’s homelessness prevention program, A Future Begins at Home and its partnership with Help Us Move In, a national nonprofit that works to keep at-risk families housed. The family’s immediate rent was covered, giving them time to contemplate next steps without the added trials of homelessness.

Family Promise guided Mary and TJ as they prepared a budget to manage finances until TJ was back at work full time. Family Promise also helped Mary reach the decision to return to school for a degree in counseling. Their teenage daughter learned from the experience, as well: she now deposits paychecks from her part-time job into a savings account, spending only the tips she earns.

There’s a cost to homelessness that extends beyond the expense of shelter and rehousing services; the strain families experience takes its toll on every aspect of life. Children suffer the most. Family Promise’s homelessness prevention program provides comprehensive case management, education, and resource development, and other support services to help families in need navigate the crisis at hand without the added trauma of homelessness.

“Family Promise delivered the rent check as the eviction paperwork was about to be submitted,” recalls TJ’s wife, Mary, adding, “But Family Promise gave us more than just money for rent.”

Preventing a family from becoming homeless is the most effective way to address the crisis of family homelessness, and this year families need our help more than ever.

If you are experiencing a housing crisis, give us a call today! We may be able to help!
