Ministry to the Homeless
9 a.m. - 7:30 p.m., Monday - Friday
(602) 261-6883
Through 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:
- mental health case management health insurance
- job training, placement and education substance abuse programs
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
- alarm wristwatches
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.
