Family Promise Receives Grant From Clayton

Family Promise of Coastal Alabama recently received a $20,000 grant from Clayton, a Berkshire Hathaway company with a national reach that constructs single-family homes. The grant is a portion of the $1.5 million Clayton is dispersing to the Family Promise national network. The funds are a result of a recent partnership extension between Family Promise and Clayton. A Future Begins at Home, the initiative born from this collaboration, is dedicated to supporting families experiencing homelessness by helping them stay in their homes and swiftly regain stability. Since its inception in 2019, the initiative has catalyzed millions of dollars in additional funding, resulting in more than 30,000 families served. In addition, Clayton has donated 18 homes to the Family Promise national network since 2019. These homes are used primarily as transitional housing for families working with Family Promise, allowing families to stay together while receiving case management and support services as they work toward securing permanent housing.
