Families Moving Forward

October 2021 update: Families from the Carver/Scott County program continue to be housed at a hotel.  Immanuel leaders decided to not commit to hosting during 2022 and to re-evlauate for 2023. 

Ending homelessness one family at a time

More about Families Moving Forward

Families Moving Forward (FMF) is a program of Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative.

FMF provides services to families during the day and a network of Twin Cities churches hosts the families in their buildings at night. The families are tightly screened before they are accepted into the program and only 14 people are accepted at a time.

Each evening they are transported by FMF to the church. We provide an evening meal, hospitality, a “bedroom” for each family, and breakfast each day during the week.

Families are bused by FMF back to the day shelter each morning where they are able to shower and work with FMF staff to get the pieces of their lives back in order.

Families Moving Forward is aligned with Immanuel's vision: Called to care. Sent to serve.
