Save the Family Foundation of Arizona meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

Stated Purpose:
Save the Family equips families to address poverty, overcome homelessness and achieve self-sufficiency.

Year, State Incorporated:
1990, AZ

Save the Family Foundation of Arizona was formed to provide housing to families experiencing homelessness. Family homelessness is not the type of homelessness you often see. Instead, families are
living "doubled up" with other families, staying in places not meant for human habitation, or living out of their cars.

Save the Family also recognizes that housing alone is not enough to resolve homelessness. The organization provides case management and supportive services to help families address the root causes
of their homelessness and access the resources they need to build better lives. These services include budgeting assistance, mental health support, and career development programs.

Through holistic, family-focused support aimed at both children and adults, Save the Family meets the needs of every member of the household and helps create stable homes, safe children, and strong families.
