Housing First
We believe that housing is an essential human right and are committed of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) Permanent Supportive Housing Evidence-Based Practices. We abide by the principle that everyone is “ready” for housing “with the right supports” and strives to provide housing in the easiest way possible for individuals using our services.
Continuum of Care
We are a proud member of the Tucson/Pima Coalition to end Homelessness and the Arizona Balance of State’s Continuums of Care in Cochise, Santa Cruz, Pinal, Graham, and Greenlee Counties, and are committed to ending homelessness in Arizona. Our staff actively participates in continuum committees and the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), which act as part of the community-wide commitment to end homelessness.
