Stabilization Programs Overview
Family Promise of Harrisburg Capital Region is expanding the ways we support families working toward stable housing and financial independence.
Our updated programs are designed to meet families where they are and provide practical assistance that can help prevent housing instability, strengthen financial stability, and remove barriers to employment and everyday life.
Participation in case management is required for all program participants.
In 2025-2026, we helped 232 families maintain or obtain housing within in ALL Family Promise HCR Programs!

In-Home Stabilization
Helping Families Stay Housed
Our In-Home Housing Stabilization Program is a landlord referral program that provides support to eligible families who are experiencing housing instability or are at risk of losing their housing.
Rather than waiting until a family becomes homeless, this program focuses on helping families address challenges that could jeopardize their ability to remain safely and stably housed.
What Can We Help With?
Depending on your individual circumstances and available funding, assistance may include:
Support with maintaining stable housing
Assistance addressing barriers that may impact housing stability
Connection to community resources and supportive services
Required case management and individualized support
All families participating in this program must engage in case management. Case management helps families identify their needs, develop goals, connect with resources, and create a plan for maintaining stable housing.
Our goal is to work alongside landlords and families to identify the challenges they are facing and connect them with the resources and support they need to maintain stable housing.
Landlord Referrals
If you are a landlord with a tenant who may benefit from the In-Home Housing Stabilization Program, please contact Program Director, Christine Rockey, at Christine@familypromisehcr.org.
Who Is Eligible?

Transportation Assistance Program
Removing Transportation Barriers
Reliable transportation can make the difference between keeping a job, getting to an appointment, caring for your family, and moving toward greater financial stability.
Our Transportation Assistance Program helps eligible families address transportation barriers that may be preventing them from reaching their goals.
The program is designed to provide more than a one-time fix. We work with families to help them make a sustainable transportation plan that fits their needs and financial situation.
What Can We Help With?
Depending on your circumstances and available funding, transportation assistance may include:
Vehicle purchase assistance through a matching program
Vehicle maintenance and repairs
Driving classes
Other eligible transportation-related expenses
Financial education and budgeting support
Vehicle Purchase Assistance
Families purchasing a vehicle may be eligible for a matching opportunity, allowing Family Promise to match a family’s contribution toward the purchase of a vehicle, up to the program’s approved amount.
Participation in the vehicle purchase portion of the program includes completing FDIC Money Smart financial education and working with Family Promise staff to develop a plan for maintaining financial and transportation stability.
Who Is Eligible?
Eligibility is based on household circumstances, income, transportation needs, and available program funding. Additional requirements may apply depending on the type of assistance requested.
