Family Promise Montco PA (formerly Inter-Faith Housing Alliance) partners with the community to address hunger and homelessness — one family at a time.

The Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) is Family Promise Montco PA’s emergency shelter program. The Network provides Montgomery County families with children who are experiencing homelessness with a safe place to stay, along with supportive services, for approximately 90 days.

Hope Gardens is our transitional housing program for low-income families with children. This program provides a secure home for families for up to two years while they gain the tools they need to become financially stable and self-sufficient. There is a clear disconnect between the needs of low-income families and the availability of affordable housing in Montgomery County. To address this disconnect, we created a Supportive Housing Program at an Ambler property, Hope Forest, which opened in 2016, and a Lansdale property, Hope on Fifth, which was purchased in 2021. Both locations contain two apartments that can house two families moving toward self-sufficiency.

During their time in our housing programs, families receive comprehensive support services designed to help parents care for themselves and their families, begin intentionally improving their life skills and decision-making abilities, and develop the internal resources necessary to become self-sufficient. Along with intensive case management, services include educational life skills training, basic needs support, and aftercare services for program graduates.

We also operate a food pantry.
