Family Promise of Baldwin County: 
   "Family Promise Kids at Play"

The mission of Family Promise is to provide temporary shelter, transitional housing, related services and nurturing support for Baldwin County families with children who are experiencing homelessness and to assist them with obtaining suitable and permanent housing. "Kids at Play" will be a centrally located playground on the Family Promise property that is the hub of a new planned community with subsidized housing for families in transition. This playground will be a safe place for children and families to exercise, interact, and explore the world around them while learning the value of neighbors and friends in a supportive community environment.
