Family Promise of Coastal Alabama

Mission: To provide temporary shelter, related services and nurturing support to families with children who are experiencing a homelessness crisis.  


Services: FPCA offers short-term shelter, meals, and life skills classes to families with children. We offer transitional housing for 12 or more months, and temporary support after program participation. For families experiencing housing insecurity but have identified temporary housing on their own, we also offer Shelter Diversion assistance to help them avoid entering the shelter system. If eligible families can receive:

  • transportation assistance
  • household goods
  • financial assistance for re-housing
  • all families receive intensive client-centered case management
