MISSION STATEMENT: Our mission is to end homelessness, one family at a time, because every child deserves a home. Through safe housing and education, Family Promise guides families as they break the cycle, and rise from homelessness to sustainable independence. ORGANIZATION HISTORY: In 2000, 7 local congregations came together to address the issue of family homelessness in the Greater Nashua community and created the Greater Nashua Interfaith Hospitality Network (GNIHN). In 2001, they began hosting families overnight at their facilities on a rotational basis while providing support and case management to help them achieve financial independence. In 2002, the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary sought out a new ministry for their under-utilized novitiate building. The United Way put them in touch with the GNIHN and in 2002, families began to stay at their “Home for Now” at Anne Marie House. In 2012, GNIHN joined as an affiliate of the national non-profit Family Promise. The name of the program was formally changed to Family Promise of Greater Nashua (FPGN). In 2018, FPGN began serving families in western Rockingham county after the Family Promise affiliate there ceased operations. In 2019, to reflect this expanded service area, the name was again changed to Family Promise of Southern New Hampshire (FPSNH). By year-end 2020 we will be moving to a new facility that will expand our service capacity. We currently serve 10-12 families annually and our new facility will allow us to serve 20-24 families.
