Family Promise of Greater New Braunfels is a community response to family homelessness. We exist to support, guide and lift families out of homelessness and into safe housing, gainful employment, and independence.
While in general the New Braunfels area is prosperous, many families are one accident, one break-up, one illness, one final act of domestic violence away from homelessness. Representatives from local churches have came together to address the need. Family Promise of Greater New Braunfels (FPGNB) is a partnership of churches that open their doors, classrooms, gyms, and hearts to serve as hospitality centers to families experiencing homelessness, offering temporary housing, meals and loving support.

Representatives from local churches have came together to address the need.

When a family successfully completes our comprehensive shelter program, they have accomplished a series of steps to continue their journey to long-term self-sufficiency. Accomplishments include:
- Safe Housing
- Permanent, full-time employment
- Safe, reliable child care or after-school care
- Emergency savings fund of $1000+
- A working, realistic budget
- Reliable transportation
Once a family "graduates" and moves into their own home, they transition into A New Lease on Life aftercare program, which includes:
- Professional case management support for one year
- Help with emergent needs
- Life skills workshops (Child care is provided.)
- Peer support of fellow FPGNB alumni, as well as other supportive relationships.
