Shelter Program
Welcome to The Freedom House – A Safe Haven for Families Experiencing Homelessness
The Freedom House, operated by Family Promise of Beaufort County, provides a stable and supportive environment for families with children who are experiencing homelessness or are at immediate risk.
Our shelter can house up to seven families at a time—accommodating up to 21 individuals—in a supervised communal living setting. While in residence, families receive essential support services and work toward long-term stability and independence.
What We Offer
Families may stay for up to 90 days while receiving a full range of support services. Once they transition into permanent housing, they remain in our 12-month follow-up program for continued support and success.
