Family Promise of Southern Chester County

FPSCC, a volunteer-driven nonprofit committed to helping families experiencing homelessness, has hired Omar Henriquez as its new case manager. Henriquez will guide families through their housing crisis by providing the tools and encouragement to regain their housing and employment and become fully and permanently self-sufficient.

“Knowing there are children right here in our community that don’t have a place to call home keeps me up at night,” said Henriquez. “Every child deserves a home. I am honored to carry out Family Promise’s mission.”

“Omar brings to Family Promise a diverse set of skills and expertise needed to help families struggling with homelessness find their path back to stability,” said Susan Minarchi, FPSCC’s executive director. “Family Promise is not just a job; it’s a calling. Omar will be instrumental in restoring a family’s hopes and dreams for a brighter future.”
