The Helping Homeless Families program unites the religious community in its efforts to assist the homeless. Congregations participating in the program provide overnight lodging and meals for three to five families (up to 14 people) for one week each two to three months on a rotating schedule. Community social service agencies screen and refer families to the Network. The Network employs a Director who, in conjunction with other social service agencies, provides assistance and advocacy to Network families as they seek housing, jobs, and other resources.
