Davie County is a place people are proud to call home—a community rooted in care, tradition, and shared responsibility. But many families with children are facing a growing housing crisis hidden in plain sight.

These are working families—teachers, childcare providers, and service workers—many just one unexpected expense away from losing their homes.

In rural communities like Davie County, limited shelter options, transportation barriers, and scarce affordable housing options make stability even harder to achieve. Many families cycle through motels, overcrowded housing, or temporary living arrangements—including living out of their cars—for over a year before securing permanency.

You may not always see this crisis, but it is real—and it’s shaping the future of families and our community.

The consequences to children experiencing housing instability are often dire and enduring. The myriad of repercussions include but are not limited to feelings of shame, a lack of belonging and identity, impacts to health, disruptions to education, and long-term trauma. No child deserves to be at the receiving end of family homelessness.

BUILDING THE PROMISE TOGETHER

For nearly a decade, Family Promise has operated without a permanent home of its own—just like the families it serves.

Building the Promise is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform how Davie County supports families experiencing housing insecurity.

Family Promise is raising $3 million to establish a permanent campus that provides stability, dignity, and a clear path forward for more families with children in need.
