FPSC makes caring for our nation's heroes a priority and has a variety of programs to support veterans experiencing a housing crisis.
By Mike Leyman
Family Promise of Sussex County NJ has a 25-year tradition of working with families in the community to assist with issues of homelessness and housing, as well as many other related needs. The agency also has a rich history of providing services to veterans who are experiencing a housing crisis.
Our LIHEAP program aids veterans with utility payments, offering financial assistance for electric and heating costs, including oil, natural gas, wood, etc. The Permanent Supportive Housing programs provides financial assistance and supportive services to chronically homeless veterans with disabilities or chronic illness through their entire time in the program.

The Mobile Outreach and Engagement program allows specialists to go out into the community and reach the most isolated veterans that have little to no resources. Outreach and Engagement specialists set up appointments with Community Hope, North Haven, DCA, and the VA, which allows veterans to gain access to some of the benefits earned during their active duty to the country. Outreach specialists also provide transportation to medical, ID, and scheduled appointments with the main office with the outreach vehicle, a Toyota 4Runner.
Family Promise of Sussex County continues to move forward with new ideas and programs to help so many who have sacrificed so much for their country. We strive to see every veteran with a roof over their head safe, secure, and cared for.
