Attic Retrofit | Spray Foam| Cellulose Fiberglass | Insulation Removal Custom Homes, Remodels & Additions By Mallory Gleich From the outside, the building looks like a tiny apartment complex. Ten rooms, each serving a different purpose but striving towards a common goal: to end homelessness in Arizona. Family Promise was started in 1988 by a woman named Karen Olson. Karen lived in New Jersey and was headed to a meeting when she noticed a homeless woman on the street. She decided to buy the woman a sandwich and that random act of kindness turned into an organization known today as Family Promise. Family Promise, originally named Interfaith Hospitality Network, has grown into over 200 affiliates across 42 states, all with the aim of helping homeless individuals get back on their feet. The Greater Phoenix location opened in 2000. The building described above is the day center, where homeless men, women and families come to stay while they look for work. Children go to school and come to Family Promise when the school day ends. Family Promise is different from a homeless shelter in that the families do not stay overnight at the day center. When dinnertime comes around, the families go to one of the supporting faith communities in the area. There the families eat dinner and stay overnight, have breakfast in the morning, and then come back to the day center. The people that come to Family Promise are inducted into a 60-day program where they are provided with shelter, help in finding employment and classes to promote self- sustainability. So far in 2016, Family Promise has assisted 77 families. This includes 107 adults and 149 children. The organization has another factor that sets them apart from homeless shelters, which is the fact that Family Promise also accepts pets. Since 2012, they have welcomed every family pet that has come through its doors, with help from a partnership with PetSmart. For the past five years, Family Promise has hosted an event to raise awareness for homelessness, and this year is no different: Cardboard City is scheduled for October 15 at 6 p.m. and lasts until 8 a.m. on October 16. Cardboard City aims to spread awareness in a fun and safe way, where people come to Scottsdale Stadium, home to the San Francisco Giants, and help build a city of cardboard houses. Attendees are then invited to stay the night in their cardboard city. The event will also feature a carnival style festival, with booths and games set up and operated by Valley youth. There will be cardboard inventions, food trucks, music and dancing, all in the name of support. Throughout the year, Family Promise asks groups, schools and businesses to donate toiletry items, which participants use to build hygiene kits at Cardboard City. A homeless family will also have the chance to tell their story to the residents of Cardboard City. So, from the outside, Family Promise looks like a simple, tiny apartment complex. On the inside, they are working hard to support a cause that isn’t so simple and tiny. For more info about Family Promise and Cardboard City, visit familypromiseaz.org.

Building cardboard homes and creating hygiene kits are examples of how the event helps the homeless.
