OVERCOMING AND PREVENTING HOMELESSNESS

Ministry to the Homeless

9 a.m. - 1:30 p.m., Monday - Friday
(602) 261-6883

St. Vincent de Paul's Ministry to the HomelessThrough one-on-one intake interviews, volunteer case managers discuss the client's situation at length, noting their progress toward self-sufficiency goals.

Clients are provided with:

  • referrals to dining rooms, clinics and shelters
  • follow-up assessment, encouragement and referrals, depending on need and progress

For some clients, leaving the streets behind and moving toward independence is a difficult transition. To promote these changes, the Ministry to the Homeless provides:

  • case management
  • job training, placement and education

Those who make honest attempts to implement significant changes in their lives, deserve recognition for their efforts. This positive reinforcement comes in the form of:

  • vouchers for identification
  • bus tickets to job interviews
  • bicycles for transportation to new jobs
  • work boots

Self-sufficiency is a difficult transition to make, and not every client is successful on his or her first attempt. For the sake of encouragement and accountability, we provide employment follow-up, as well as budgeting and housing advice. Successes are rewarded, and setbacks are treated as learning experiences.
