Prevention
Preventing families from becoming homeless in the first place with supportive services, Rental Assistance and Transportation programs.
With more than 40% of Americans a $400 expense away from financial distress, the threat of crisis looms closely for too many families. Preventing families from spiraling into homelessness is an essential part of the Family Promise of the Black Hills mission.
PROACTIVE SOLUTIONS
We offer a variety of strategies to ensure the people we serve do not fall into the cycle of housing instability that can devastate families and alter the course of children’s lives. These include providing rental assistance, landlord mediation, and community-based approaches that keep Black Hills families housed.

Family Promise's national partnership with Help Us Move In (HUMI) helps support prevention programming in Affiliates and is an example of how best practices are applied through the Family Promise federated model.
