“WHO WE SERVE:Saving Amy was founded with a mission to empower individuals and families transitioning out of homelessness by transforming lives through mentoring, teaching life skills, educational advancement, and financial stability through employment. The maximum stay in the homeless shelter is 120 days with an average of 70 days. Current government housing programs, such as Rapid Rehousing, focus on the external issue of securing housing quickly. While housing is extremely important, internal issues need to be addressed or the cycle of homelessness repeats. Saving Amy takes a holistic approach to address the internal issues to end the cycle of homelessness. Each family has a Journey Partner Mentor that provides encouragement, guidance, and accountability. Our community is made up of people of all ages, who are racially diverse, all creeds and all economic levels. The Saving Amy program has a 100% success rate and all of our families remain free from homelessness.PRIMARY PROGRAMS:Saving Amy focuses on five key programs to address the individualized needs of our families: Empowerment Through Therapy, Kids Go Program, Rolling Forward, Rise Up Program, and Thrive(See Part III, Statement of Program Service Accomplishments for details) GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERVED:Saving Amy assists families throughout Arizona, with the majority residing in Phoenix and surrounding areas.IMPACT TO COMMUNITY:Saving Amy provides community and resources so that our families create a life that is fulfilling and life changing. Most importantly, Saving Amy is about relationship. The Journey Partners walk side by side with the families and build relationships based on trust and genuine care. Families then begin to see themselves as worthy and deserving people in society that no longer need the system to support them. They are free from government assistance and support themselves on their own. Saving Amy helps families move forward with a realization that they will never be back on the street or in a homeless shelter again. In turn, the families help to support others who are on the path they have traveled, from a life that felt hopeless and out of control to an empowered life lived with dignity and hope.”
