About
Families Moving Forward helps families in the crisis of homelessness find their way home. We provide temporary housing, case management, skills education, and connection to community resources to help parents and children thrive in stable homes.
Families Moving Forward (FMF) was created in 2016 after the successful merger of Genesis Home (GH, 1989) and Durham Interfaith Hospitality Network (DIHN, 1994). The recent expansion of the former GH has increased the capacity to serve more families; FMF now serves up to 75-85 families annually and approximately 160-200 children each year through our emergency shelter program, making FMF the largest housing and services provider for homeless families in Durham. We also work with families for up to one year after they move in to permanent housing to help them reach their goals of increased self-sufficiency and stable housing.
