At Family Promise of Colorado Springs, we exist to prevent and end homelessness for families with children. We provide safe, compassionate shelter, prevention assistance, and supportive services that empower families to regain stability and independence.
We believe that every family deserves a safe place to call home — and that community support is the key to long-term change.
We help families not just find shelter
- but find their footing again.
Our Local Story
Serving Colorado Springs Families Since 1997
In 1997, a network of 13 congregations across Colorado Springs came together to launch the Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) locally. Each congregation opened its doors four times a year, offering shelter and meals to families in crisis. This model preserved privacy and dignity — families stayed together, hosted one week at a time in converted classroom spaces, rather than being separated in traditional shelters. During the day, IHN staff provided case management and wraparound support services.
As the organization grew, we adopted the name Family Promise of Colorado Springs in 2015, aligning with the national Family Promise network and expanding our focus to include homelessness prevention, mental health support, stabilization programs, and long-term housing solutions.
Today, we continue to build on that legacy:
-
Empowering families to overcome housing instability
-
Keeping parents and children together through crisis
-
Partnering with the community to provide holistic care
-
Creating lasting change — one family at a time
