Families Moving Forward

Families Moving Forward offers a temporary home to families with children in the crisis of homelessness. Working together, we create a path to stability and self-sufficiency through personalized services and ongoing community support.

Families Moving Forward is able to provide a temporary home for up to 20 families at a time. There are many ways that you or your group or congregation can help us. 

Families Moving Forward provides the Nest and Branching Out to families with children experiencing the crisis of temporary homelessness in the Durham Community.
