Connecting the dots

I’ve spent a lot of time on this blog talking about each of the individual services that we provide to our guests, the poor and homeless of Phoenix. While each of the services we give can be powerful in its own individual way, it’s the combination of some or all of these things that is really what helps people. Combining the use of our phone, clean clothing, a shower, a storage locker, and a meal at the end of the day can be powerful. While it seems that most people that use our services on use them to sustain their lives, there are some who use our services to move up and out of homelessness.

As our director likes to say, “jobs cure homelessness.” All of our services can be focused on gaining and keeping employment, so combining all of our services is the most tangible way in which we help eliminate homelessness.
