Family Promise Of Juneau - A Community based approach to family homelessness

Visit Family Promise National to learn more about our organization at:

For an end of the year push this year, we thought we'd do a supply drive to help get us through 2022. If you have family and friends that want to get you something, but you don't need more stuff, direct them HERE! If anyone wants to purchase supplies in someone's name, you can do that at the checkout. There's lots of ways to help us out by contributing to our:

Office Supplies - to help get us through the endless amount of paperwork we need to fill out
Utilities/Building Costs - to ensure we have electricity, heat, and a place to work with our families
Family Items - to ensure that we can shelter all families in any way with needs that they require

We also have the option to pledge to be a Family of 500 or a Family of 1000. This will not set up a recurring donation, but by donating through those options, you will automatically be pledged as a:

Family of 1000 by pledging to donate $1000 or more every year over a period of 3 years.
Family of 500 by pledging to donate $500 or more every year over a period of 3 years.

***Through the end of 2021, the Richard L. and Diane M. Block Foundation will match every NEW FAMILY OF 1000 donation! Please consider donating now and helping us reach the goal of $25,000 in Families of 1000.***

You also have the option to simply contribute to FPJ with a one-time general donation.

Thank you for checking this out and considering our non-profit during the holiday season.

FPJ doesn't work without amazing volunteers like you. Please take a few minutes to fill out our VOLUNTEER FORM.

Homelessness In Juneau

Lack of affordable housing is the main cause of homelessness in our Community.

Many of our homeless guest families have been camping and/or sleeping in their vehicles (with their kids!) prior to entering shelter.

Currently, 35 children in the Juneau School District are enrolled in the Students and Families in Transition Program. This is only the recorded children, not everyone reports their current situation. During the 2019/2020 school year, 85 children were enrolled, and in the 2018/2019 school year, there were 126 children enrolled.

According to a 2019 Juneau Point in Time Count there are:

35 Un-sheltered Homeless People
72 Homeless People in an Emergency Shelter
103 Homeless People in Transitional Housing
