Our single adult shelter is the largest in Arizona, serving hundreds of single men and women each night. Open 24/7, 365 days a year, it provides:

From there, they are offered connections to additional resources and support if they choose to pursue them. The shelter can accommodate up to 600 guests at a time across our men’s and women’s dorms, providing a safe place for hundreds of neighbors every night
