Until Every Family Has What They Need

People Serving People’s commitment to families goes beyond what they need to get through today, this week, or this month. Families deserve more than a quick, temporary fix—they deserve a future where they will thrive and never experience homelessness again. That’s why we won’t stop supporting families and advocating for systems change until every family has what they need.

We are
People Serving People

Supporting families since 1982

We support families navigating housing instability by providing essential shelter and meals, facilitating housing stabilization, nurturing early childhood education, and advocating for transformative systems change.

About family homelessness

Every family deserves a safe and
stable home

Many mistakenly believe that only single adults experience homelessness. The reality is that on any given night in the United States, nearly 60,000 families experience homelessness. The causes and impacts of—and solutions to ending—family homelessness also differ from those of single adults. Homelessness disrupts every aspect of a family’s life and is a source of enduring trauma. Among other things, it interferes with the education and development of our youngest community members, our children.

Life can be hard. So many people are one paycheck away from being homeless. But even in the hardest of times, we chose to be positive and work to rebuild our lives. Our advocates were there to provide the help we needed to do that.
