Family Promise of Carbon County recently received a $20,000 grant from Clayton, ensuring that families in Carbon County receive the support they need to stay safely housed.

The grant is a portion of the $2 million dollars Clayton is donating to the Family Promise national network. The funds are a result of the recently announced partnership extension between Family Promise and Clayton.

A Future Begins at Home, the initiative created through this collaboration, is focused on supporting families experiencing homelessness by helping them remain in their homes and quickly regain stability.

Since its inception in 2019, A Future Begins at Home has helped catalyze over $14 million in additional funding, resulting in more than 43,000 families served.

Executive Director Cathy Lamm said, “Family Promise of Carbon County is honored to be given this opportunity to serve even more families in need in Carbon County.”

In addition Clayton has donated 20 homes to the Family Promise national network since 2019.

These homes are used primarily as transitional housing, allowing families to stay together while receiving case management and support services as they work toward permanent housing.

Founded in 1956, Clayton is a leading single-family, values-driven home builder committed to opening doors to a better life through homeownership.

Founded in 2009, Family Promise is the leading nonprofit addressing the crisis of family homelessness in Carbon County and the surrounding areas.

The organization tackles the range of issues that can lead to homelessness. From prevention services to emergency shelter and housing to post-program stabilization, Family Promise ensures families develop vital skills, have access to critical resources, and receive ongoing support to achieve lasting independence.
