Job Purpose

Family Promise of Brevard is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to keeping families housed so children can thrive.

Our zip code–based approach builds collaboration, addresses service gaps, removes barriers to education and training, and advocates for housing that is safe and affordable. Together, these efforts move us closer to our vision: a Brevard where every family has a home, a livelihood, and the chance to build a stronger future.

Guided by our core values—Accountability, Excellence, Respect, Family-Focused, Forward-Thinking, and Innovation—we seek team members who share this commitment and are ready to make a meaningful impact in the lives of families and the health of our community.
