MIHN changes name to Family Promise Metrowest
The Board of Directors voted last week to change the name of the Metrowest Interfaith Hospitality Network to Family Promise Metrowest. MIHN is part of a larger organization called Family Promise which has established itself nationwide. It is believed that the new name will link us more clearly with the national program and give our chapter better brand awareness. A formal announcement of the new name and an update of all materials will be made over the next couple of months.

Metrowest Homelessness Forum March 18th
Attached is a flyer with information on the upcoming Metrowest Homelessness Forum to be held at the Village Church in Wellesley on Sunday, March 18th. MIHN is a participant in the forum and we would love to see our network congregations and volunteers attend.
Attendees will hear about successes, innovations, and future growth plans of local and regional programs which focus on avoiding homelessness through prevention and also about rapid re-housing of families from shelters. Come and learn how you can help. The forum is free and open to all.
HEAR the vision for a new system where priority is given to homes for individuals and families; shelters are used only for emergency transitions.
SEE how that vision is being implemented despite crushing budget cuts.
LEARN how congregations, organizations and individuals can help homeless people through direct service and help prevent and end homelessness by legislative advocacy.
