What We Do

Family Promise of Lincoln County (FPLC) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide shelter, meals, and comprehensive assistance to homeless, low-income families with children in Lincoln County, while they seek to achieve sustainable independent living. This is achieved through a collaborative community effort and based on a proven successful national model that partners with local congregations and social service agencies to provide practical and effective services

Shelter

We currently provide shelter to multiple families who are housed in individual units at Coastal Phoenix Rising (CPR) located in Lincoln City, Oregon. Prior to the COVID-19 shutdown, we provided shelter for our families by partnering with local churches. Partnering with Family Promise congregations has given our families the opportunity to build community, network, and grow a support system from our amazing volunteers.

Day Center

Families on our waitlist are able to utilize our day center as a place to prepare healthy meals, a clean bathroom for bathing and other personal hygiene needs, a washer and dryer to launder clothes, and Wi-Fi access to aid in their job/house search. Our staff offices are located in this building as well, so families have access to case management and other prevention-related services. We also have a workstation to look and apply for jobs, housing, and other resources. 

Case Management

We offer on-site Case Management to help our families with Resource-Navigation, Goal-setting, Accountability and offer support.

Classes

Throughout the year Family Promise offers classes to their families by partnering with local agencies who offer programs such as Renter’s Second Chance Class, Financial Management Class, Life Skills Class, and Job Skills Class that help our families gain skills they may otherwise not have received. We also teach a Nurturing Parenting Class and Finance Literacy series taught by our staff, which are offered in-person and online.
