Program areas at Homeaid Phoenix
In partnership with the valley's home building industry (builders, trade and service partners, and their employees) and community leaders - we support and maintain housing alongside local nonprofit organizations for those experiencing homelessness. We also have plans in the future to build housing for the homeless population. By leveraging our relationships within the home building industry to garner in-kind donations of expertise, labor, and materials, we are able to build high quality housing at a fraction of the typical cost. This collaboration allows nonprofit organizations to reinvest resources into life-changing programs, like financial education, career training, parenting skills, and other socio-emotional support and counseling that help move families from homelessness to stability.
Community outreach: during times of crisis and transition, it can be challenging for individuals and families to provide for even their most basic needs. Homeaid Phoenix works to provide dignity and restore hope through various community outreach programs, including: Homeaid essentials - through workplace donation drives and other efforts, we collect clothing, blankets, food, and diapers and other essential items. We then partner with community organizations across the valley to ensure these much needed items reach those most in need. Homeaid carekits - bringing together donors and volunteers, we collect and assemble travel-size toiletry items including soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant and more. These items are then thoughtfully packaged into carekits (continued on schedule o) (continued from 990 page 2) and distributed to the most vulnerable homeless populations through a network of emergency shelters and street outreach teams. Homeaid caredays - through hands-on opportunities, volunteers come together to support the work of our network of community nonprofit partners. Volunteers work with Homeaid to assist with housing/shelter improvement projects such as landscape renewal, interior/exterior clean-up, painting, and light construction work.
