OUR MISSION - Save the Family Foundation of Arizona
Family homelessness is damaging to everyone it touches. Save the Family empowers families to conquer homelessness and achieve life-long independence.
...
We envision communities free
from family homelessness.
Save the Family has been serving homeless families with children for more than 20 years.  Founded in 1988, Save the Family was created to help homeless families become self-sufficient.  In 1989, the agency acquired four housing units and served the first four families, who were referred from a local domestic violence shelter.
Early on, Save the Family recognized the need for services beyond just housing.  The agency offered the first adult and children’s education classes in 1991.  Adult classes centered on parenting and personal growth and development, while children’s classes offered expressive art activities, aimed at assisting children with sharing their experience of homelessness.  Due to increasing demand for these supportive services, the agency’s programs were expanded to include a broader array of services and teen programming.
Program services for adults and youth continue, and now include career development, financial planning, education and support for domestic violence, tutoring, after-school classes and tuition dollars for summer camps and extracurricular activities.
In our work to help families achieve self-sufficiency, Save the Family identified a lack of affordable housing options for families graduating from our program.  In 1994 The Affordable Rental Movement of Save the Family (ARM) was created to meet these needs.  This housing partnership has provided Save the Family with the ability to serve more families, and to provide our unique programming to a broader audience.
