Serve and support residents at the Washington Street Shelter
What's it all about?
The number of those experiencing homelessness continues to rise, and there are not enough shelters in our community. In the last five years, the number of unsheltered individuals in Maricopa County has tripled. Everyday, we have the opportunity to save 260 lives from the dangers of the streets. The Washington Street Shelter is a program serving unsheltered homeless individuals through intensive engagement, shelter, and services all oriented toward resolving homelessness and integrating people into a community. The shelter provides wrap-around services with intense care and outcome focused case management for 260 individuals with a driven desire to end their homelessness and obtain housing.
