2009 In Review

Every January, we take a little time to compile a few statistics and compare our numbers to previous years.

Family Promise of Greater Toledo served 40% more families in 2009 than in 2008 and those families included significantly more children. Additionally, we served more two-parent families than ever before.

It is expected that a single parent family (generally a mom) will be at a higher risk for homelessness. Two-parent families have a better chance of at least one person securing and maintaining employment. With double-digit unemployment here in Toledo and in much of the nation, it isn't surprising to see these numbers increase.
