All in the Family
With the mission of keeping families together, Armstrong Family Services (AFS) strives to empower families experiencing hardships and/or homelessness. Located in New Orleans, AFS provides shelter, care, support and encouragement to families in need of assistance. Through their emergency assistance program, AFS provides temporary shelter (30 days) and case management to families who are facing homelessness due to an eviction or disaster. AFS also provides rental for three (3) months to families facing homelessness due to a temporary loss of income, a sudden increase in rental payments, or the sudden death or sickness of a family member. AFS believes that a family should be able to provide social, emotional and economic support to its members regardless of the family's circumstances. They feel that keeping families together and helping them to free themselves from dependencies gives them the opportunity to reach full self-sufficiency. If you and/or your family are in need of assistance and would like more information about AFS, please call (504) 899-2995.
