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.

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, partnering with professional case management and other community resources to offer temporary housing, meals, transportation and loving support.

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.

Homeless families with children.

Here’s how Safe Place works:

Step Three – Within 30 minutes, a RMYA staff member or qualified Safe Place volunteer will arrive to talk with the youth and, if necessary, provide transportation to RMYA's Centro Seguro Drop-In Center.

Step Four – Once at Centro Seguro, counselors meet with the youth and provide support. Agency staff makes sure the youth and their families receive the help and professional services they need.

Sometimes children who are placed in foster care are not able to be reunified with their birth family, during the 12-18 month timeframe allowed by the court. In these situations, the court has the option to terminate the legal relationship between the child and their biological parents. It is also possible that parents will voluntarily relinquish their legal rights to parent the child. When either of these circumstances occurs, the child becomes legally-free for adoption.

?Children in foster care who are legally-free may be adopted by their current related or unrelated foster parents or be matched with straight adopt families. Our agency offers dual licensing which means that you will be certified to foster and adopt, if you choose to do so.

The goal of adoption is to provide a permanent legal forever-family for the children. CPS and the court have many considerations when matching a child with an adoptive family.

Here are a few:

• Keeping biological siblings together
• The child's desires
• Educational setting
• Willingness to maintain safe "connections" for the child
• Dynamics of the adoptive family
• Level of training and experience with children

?There are over 1,000 children, just in the San Antonio area, waiting for a Forever Family.  Grow your family through ADOPTION!
