What We Do

Families Flourish, formerly Move to PROSPER, makes affordable rental housing available in neighborhoods that offer access to opportunities, such as higher resourced schools, safer neighborhoods, green spaces, grocery stores, employment and other resources. We partner with property owners in areas mapped by the Kirwan Institute and Ohio Housing Finance Agency. Their Opportunity index map utilizes a number of indicators to identify the many dimensions of strong, vibrant and healthy communities.

FF provides:

  • Three years of rental support

  • Monthly workshops and programs in financial capability, health & wellness, career advice and more

  • Access to safe, quality & healthy housing in an apartment in a higher resourced community

  • The assistance of a one-on-one coach to support reaching financial, career, and wellness goals for the whole family

  • Assistance integrating children into a new school & the family into a new neighborhood

Who We Are

Families Flourish is a three-year program that empowers low wage working families and their children to gain economic security. Our pilot families raised their incomes by 58%, or $17,000 on average, and improved their mental and physical health.

We equip families with tools they need to flourish, including career and financial coaching. Our partial rental support enables them to move to neighborhoods with quality housing, better schools and a safe environment for their children. Working together, Families Flourish families set and achieve their personal goals.

When you invest in our growth, families move to prosper and flourish.
