Three Grand Rapids organizations on Thursday will air a documentary about housing insecurity with the goal of breaking down the "silos" between groups working to solve the crisis in West Michigan.
Family Promise of Grand Rapids, currently in its 25th year of operation, is continuing its mission to provide resources, housing and support for families experiencing homelessness despite a lack of resources and awareness of the issue.

United Methodist Community House and Family Promise of Grand Rapids are further expanding their partnership by providing transitional housing for families who are homeless and hiring two individuals to support family needs.
Family Promise of Grand Raids will operate the transitional housing program in the United Methodist Community House-owned Sheldon House, located on the southeast side of Grand Rapids.
To meet the community’s growing needs, Family Promise hired Mackenzie Vilmont as family and engagement stabilization coordinator to work alongside families and children in United Methodist Community House’s Child Development Center, as well as Rachel Siebert as the “Grandparents Raising Grandchildren” program coordinator to provide tools, resources and support for caregivers.
