It’s a ‘Cheeseburger in Paradise’ Billings Party for Family Promise

The 'Cheeseburger in Paradise' Family Promise Beach Blizzard is 2/17 in Billings.

When many people in Billing think of homelessness, the first images that might pop into your mind are transients and panhandlers. The fact is, there are far too many individuals, families, and single parents who are struggling too. Many of them are working at least one job, sometimes two. Family Promise of Yellowstone Valley has been assisting these vulnerable members of our community for 20 years.

Homelessness can happen to anyone.

Circumstances beyond their control (a divorce, laid off, a couple weeks of being seriously ill, or other medical conditions) can put otherwise housing-secure individuals at risk. We've all heard the saying "Most people are just two paychecks away from being homeless." That phrase may be slightly exaggerated, but many Montanans live paycheck to paycheck, and a month or two without pay can rapidly lead to eviction. For those who own a home, getting your house repossessed can take a little longer, but once the spiral begins, it can be tough to recover.

Problems can quickly compound for Montanans facing homelessness.

Suddenly, you're living in a car or crashing at a friend or relative's spare room. Your performance at work may suffer, your kids' grades may suffer and it may seem completely hopeless. This is where Family Promise of Yellowstone Valley Can help. The non-profit has helped thousands of families in south central Montana get back on their feet, rebuild credit, and get into sustainable housing.
