Who is Family Promise and What Does Family Promise Do?

Family Promise of Washington County works to prevent and end homelessness by providing emergency shelter, transitional housing, and supportive resources for individuals and families in crisis. Operating out of facilities like the Promise Center in West Bend, the organization offers daily walk-in care, meals, hygiene items, and tech access alongside intensive case management to help clients secure stable, permanent housing.

·         Walk-In & Day Services: Provides daily community access to showers, hygiene products, a food pantry, and a technology room for job searches and housing applications.
