Homelessness in the Valley is dire.
Hope has arrived.

0 Days Until World Homeless Day – October 10

Everyone deserves the chance to come home.

Right now, 9,726 people are experiencing homelessness across the Valley. 1,322 are children—14% of the total homeless population. People are sleeping in cars, on sidewalks, and in dangerous situations.

At Phoenix Rescue Mission, we refuse to see this as unchangeable. Through compassionate outreach and long-term recovery programs, we help people break the cycle of homelessness, addiction and other life-controlling issues.

That impact reaches far beyond one person — families reunite, communities grow stronger, and futures change.

A family reunited—Corrine’s Story

  • At Phoenix Rescue Mission, stories like mine are what drive the work. Every day, lives are being redeemed, families restored, and hope reignited through Christ-centered programs, long-term recovery, and compassionate outreach.

    I know, because I’ve lived it. My journey from addiction and homelessness to healing and purpose is proof that change is possible—and it all starts with connection.

    I never thought I’d be where I am today, healthy, sober and helping women on the streets—because not long ago, I was in their shoes.
  • My home life growing up was unstable and deeply toxic. I often had to take care of my younger siblings in the middle of a lot of dysfunction. That sense of instability followed me into adulthood. I struggled with addiction, moved constantly, and eventually lost custody of my kids. I would get sober, find a bit of stability, and then fall back into relapse and homelessness.

    Everything changed when I was at a detox center and found out I was pregnant with my youngest. I felt this crushing grief and guilt—it was a wake-up call. I knew it had to stop.

    That’s when I reached out to Phoenix Rescue Mission’s Changing Lives Center. They could help with child reunification. That hope became my guiding light.
  •  During my time in the year-long recovery program, I gave birth, rebuilt my life, and was reunited with my children.

    Today, I work on the Mission’s Street Outreach team, and have learned this simple truth: God doesn’t mismanage our lives. He just asks us to trust Him.

    I am living proof—and so many of my sisters are living proof—that what you’re doing through the Mission transforms and changes lives. It trickles down into children’s lives and families’ lives… your support is well spent.

Your Support Matters

You have the power to transform a life, and everything that life touches. Because hope doesn’t stop with one person. A daughter gets her dad back. A family reunites. A year of sobriety is celebrated. A child has a different future.

This World Homeless Day, help create a ripple of hope across the Valley.
