Organization Details:

Established in 1988, Save the Family Foundation of Arizona is a leading provider of housing, case management and supportive services to more than 650 homeless and impoverished families and children each year, annually throughout Maricopa County. We work to equip families to overcome underlying issues that lead to homelessness – ensuring stable homes, safe children and strong families because of our efforts. Join us today to help build stability and self-sufficiency in the families we serve across the county –you can help by being a volunteer, donating to the organization or advocate on behalf of those we serve.

We provide housing, case management and supportive services. Once housed, Case Managers help parents set and achieve goals geared toward ensuring the family's long-term housing and financial stability, which often can include securing employment, moving up in the workplace, improving financial literacy, building life-skills, and mental health. The Case Manager helps the family through their entire journey to housing and self-sufficiency.

Our supportive services compliment each family's goals and include career services, budgeting classes, parenting classes, other life-skills classes, and access to in-house mental health support. We also provide multiple supportive services to the children in our programs – all focused on halting cycles of homelessness and poverty. Supportive services are also available to families residing in ARM (Affordable Rental Movement) of Save the Family's affordable housing program.
