Family Strengthening Program Overview

The Family Strengthening Program is a farm-based residential program providing transitional housing and life skills training for families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness due to domestic violence. The Maui Farm provides services after emergency shelter services have been maximized, and before families move on to long-term housing in the community.


While enrolled in the Family Strengthening Program, participants will be focused on achieving outcomes related to transition to housing, gainful employment, verifiable income, securing adequate childcare, positive parenting, and self-advocacy. The Family Strengthening Program is an intensive program that supports participants in reaching goals described above on an accelerated timeline as a result of the support provided by the organization.


This application is used to determine eligibility and whether the FSP can offer your family the support and assistance you need. The questions in this application are included solely as a way of establishing whether this program is a good fit for your needs and situation. Determination of acceptance into the Family Strengthening Program (FSP) will be made on a case by case basis.
