Families Moving Forward (FMF)

Families Moving Forward

Families Moving Forward is a program , supported by Beacon Interfaith Housing Collaborative, in which local church congregations throughout Scott and Carver counties join together, on a rotational basis, to provide overnight shelter and meals for families experiencing homelessness. The goal is to provide temporary safe “ housing ” while each family seeks more permanent housing. During the daytime, the families receive assistance at a program center currently located in Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church .
 
Reasons for homelessness range from, unexpected life’s circumstances and events to unemployment , lack of affordable housing, and natural disasters.                   
 
St. Michael partners with the Franciscan Retreat Center to provide 2 weeks of safe housing each year.  One week occurs during the Summer months, and the other during the week of Christmas.
