Project Hope
We've partnered with the County, City of Wilmington, and the Delaware State Housing Authority to
provide case management and resources to families experiencing homelessness currently sheltering in motels.
At the onset of the pandemic, the State of Delaware began quickly placing families and individuals experiencing homelessness into local motel/hotel units. The State undertook this effort to ensure many individuals/families experiencing homelessness were sheltered, and to assist in minimizing the spread of COVID19 among the State’s most vulnerable populations. It reached out and requested our help to assist families placed in these units, secure permanent housing.
Since May of 2020, Family Promise has provided families placed into motel units with case management and assistance to help them secure permanent housing. Family Promise is the primary partner, and provider of case management services and homelessness assistance resources for families in New Castle County, currently sheltering in motel/hotel units. Thanks to our joint efforts, the program has permanently housed 156 families to date!
