FESCO
/As Autumn moves along, we begin to think of falling leaves, and eventually, harvest time and gratitude. It’s a good time also, to be grateful for the way FESCO (Family Emergency Shelter Coalition) walks along with and provides resources for families to recover those things we often take for granted like electricity, running water and a place to call home. Perhaps, you too have faced the trauma of being “One paycheck away from homelessness.” Be inspired by FESCO’s vision and practical resources.
– Jackie F.
FESCO’s Mission: We know that quality, affordable housing is scarce and nearly impossible to find. As a result, many of our friends and neighbors have found themselves in unexpected situations, which can include couch-surfing, temporarily living in their cars, or in even less stable conditions. Our mission is simple and complex: to end homelessness.
We accomplish this goal by assisting homeless and low-income families and individuals to secure permanent housing, using approaches that instill or restore dignity, self-respect and self-reliance, so that families, individuals, and the community are strengthened. Since 1986, FESCO has built a community of organizations and people, just like you, that pool our resources to give these families a fighting chance though:
Emergency Shelters
Transitional Living Homes
Supportive Coaching and Access to Resources Like Job Training
