ABC15 has teamed up with The Valley Toyota Dealers to help organizations around the Valley who are Helping Kids Go Places!
House of Refuge provides transitional housing for Arizona families in need.
For their efforts to Help Kids Go Places, House of Refuge has received a $500 VISA gift card courtesy of The Valley Toyota Dealers to help further their efforts in our community.
Here's more about House of Refuge from their website:
House of Refuge is a faith-based, non-profit organization located on 20 acres in Southeast Mesa, Arizona. Our community includes 88 2-bedroom homes that we rent to families experiencing homelessness. By providing a home and comprehensive, wrap-around supportive services, we help these families overcome homelessness, become self-sufficient and move to sustainable housing.
In order to be eligible to live at House of Refuge, an individual must be deemed homeless, at risk of becoming homeless or fleeing domestic violence and have at least one minor child living with him/her or be in her third trimester of pregnancy. Eligible families must sign a lease and agree to pay $350 a month, including all utilities.
When we welcome an eligible family to House of Refuge, we provide a home, home furnishings, clothing, food boxes, individualized case management services and employment and education support. All residents have access to services and facilities in our community including the Community Center for after school programming, the Employment & Education Center, the Community Garden and the Donation Center.
We believe through our innovative programming that values employment and education, our families can stabilize their lives and transition from homelessness to self-sufficiency.
