Mesa, AZ – House of Refuge is grateful to announce that Thunderbirds Charities has once again “adopted” one of the 88 two-bedroom single-family homes utilized by the transitional housing program. The generous grant will fund housing and essential social services for a low-income homeless family for an entire year – including utilities, property repairs, household goods, on-site case management, employment assistance, adult education, and youth enrichment programming.
Since 1996, House of Refuge, Inc. has provided families in crisis a proven path out of homelessness through transitional housing in a peaceful neighborhood setting. Dedicated staff work with residents to help them identify and address the root causes of their housing loss as they strive to improve income, work toward self-reliance, and successfully graduate into permanent housing in the community.
“House of Refuge receives no federal funding” explains Kayla Kolar, president and CEO of House of Refuge. “We rely upon the support of caring community partners, such as Thunderbirds Charities, to help us rescue homeless families who may have been sleeping outside or in their cars. Some are desperate mothers with young children who have come to us because they are escaping domestic violence and need our help to start over. We simply could not continue this life-changing work without our wonderful donors.”
This grant is part of the Fall 2023 cycle. View a list of all Recent Grantees.
