About Us
Mission: Families Flourish offers a 3-year program that transforms the lives of low-wage working families and their children by providing a comprehensive path to economic mobility and wellness. This is accomplished through life coaching, rent support and monthly required programs that promote housing and economic stability, career advancement, and generational change for their children.
Â
Â
Vision: Families Flourish creates a future where our families are empowered to unleash their talents and pursue their goals & aspirations. Â By addressing barriers and fostering self confidence, families will be equipped to navigate their lives effectively using program tools designed for lifelong success.
Why Do We Need Families Flourish?
By reversing historic barriers and fostering greater inclusivity, children, in even a few years before reaching age 13 can have positive long-term life outcomes.
