Family Promise of Cleveland

"Our mission is to inspire and empower homeless families to transform their lives, become self-sufficient, and fulfill their promise."



Family Promise of Greater Cleveland is an organization formed from the merger of Interfaith Hospitality Network of Greater Cleveland and New Life Community.

We’re an affiliate of national Family Promise, the parent of 162 affiliates spread from Alaska to Florida. As an affiliate we’re free to create programs to meet local community needs but we are connected to a pool of resources in homeless services research and best practices, government relations and advocacy to have an even stronger voice for homeless families.
