For families with no other safe alternative, FPL provides temporary emergency shelter at Mt. Hope and Grace House, where families are kept together in a safe, warm, and private environment. Families meet weekly with a case manager to work toward goals in employment, budgeting, saving, and obtaining permanent housing. Eligible families may also transition into FPL’s temporary housing units while continuing case management.
In 2025, we provided 8,986 shelter nights for 28 families and 60 children, with an average stay of 58 days. By keeping families together and pairing shelter with active case management, we reduce the long-term impact of homelessness on children and parents. Of families who exited the program, 72% found safe housing.
