Shelter Diversion
Exploring safe, realistic options before a family needs shelter.
Shelter diversion begins with a conversation about a family’s immediate needs, strengths and support network. Together, we explore whether there is a safe alternative to entering shelter.

A conversation about your options
Options may include reconnecting with trusted family or friends, resolving a housing barrier, or finding another organization that offers moving, move-in or transportation assistance. The safest and most practical next step is different for every family.
Contacting FPGWC does not guarantee transportation, rent or deposit payment. Support depends on the situation, eligibility and resources available.
