Greg Grosenick Executive Director of Family Promise discusses the need for more homes in Great Falls and the amount of children living "homeless". This involves bounces from family member to family member or living in a car. You might not see them living downtown on the streets, however just the amount they are able to track through the school district, we have 525 current homeless children in Great Falls alone.
The Family Promise program exists to be able to help families with emergency shelter, eviction prevention, emergency placement with a family or friend, stability of livelihood and consistent housing.
Our very own Cari Yturri is the Development Director at Family Promise. she works everyday on raising funds and applying for grants to help keep the program funded and running.
