Calls we Received
A woman in her 20’s called in tears. She had been calling shelters all morning with no success. She is a single mother of 2 and will have no place to live as of tomorrow at 11 am.
A woman living with her boyfriend, the father of her newborn twins. The boyfriend had given notice at their apartment, leading the mother to believe that the whole family would be moving together. Instead, he left her with 2 infants, no apartment, no money, and nowhere to go.
A single mother with 3, 5 and 6 year old has been homeless for 8 months. She has a problem getting housing as she has an eviction on her credit report a couple of years prior. She was living in a downtown shelter when she called.
A woman with a 4 ½ year old had been living on the streets for 3 weeks.
A woman with 5 children ages 1, 4, 5, 7 & 9 left her abusive husband and fled Arizona. She can’t find any place that will take that many children
Chaplain called to help a mom with 3 children. Their house burned down and they’re in need of temporary housing.
