Fellowship Housing Corporation meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

Once accepted into the program, each family moves into one of our apartments located in Schaumburg where they will live in community with other single moms in the FH program. This community environment helps create a sense of normalcy and stability for our families. They then work individually with a case manager and develop a comprehensive goal plan to address each woman’s finances, employment, debt, emotional, parenting, spiritual and physical needs. FH is also supported by many volunteers who work alongside the case managers to support and mentor the families as they work through the program. Since its inception, FH has helped over 180 families and most of these families have successfully graduated from the program and gone on to independent living. In addition, they have reduced their debt by an average of $8,700, increased their savings by an average of $2,400 and increased their annual salary by an average of $5,400. In the last 3 years, eight Fellowship Housing families have qualified for a Habitat for Humanity house. Our mission at FH is to move these families from homelessness to hope, one family at a time. We desire to be a catalyst to transform the lives of these single moms and their children. We strongly believe that if you change the life of a mom, you change generations to come. We work diligently to appropriately steward all that is given to us and to partner with individuals, corporations, churches and the local community to successfully carry out our mission.
