We believe that every child deserves to be valued and supported by their local community. We believe children thrive in a family setting with parental figures empowered to succeed, equipped with quality resources, and connected to the community around them. We believe that ordinary people can foster hope and change a life. And, we believe that education and collaboration are key in changing the future for Arizona’s children.

With over 800 youth transitioning out of foster care each year, there is a large need for safe places where young adults can gain stability living independently while learning real-life skills needed to be successful long-term.
Foster Arizona Housing Project launched in March 2018 with four young adult participants involved in transitional housing and continues to expand the program to further support Arizona’s young adults.
Foster Arizona Housing Project exists to educate, encourage, and empower Arizonans to positively impact the lives of young adults transitioning out of foster care.
Foster Arizona Housing Program provides young adults 18-24 who are transitioning out of foster care or deemed at-risk of homelessness a safe place to live while offering resources and support. Participants in the program set financial, vocational, educational, personal, and housing goals that they work on while involved in the program.

The impact is profound, yet the strategy is simple. The kids get the chance to be, well, kids.
Through the years, Foster Arizona has been able to connect hundreds of community members with thousands of kids currently in foster care. We have expanded our program to include the participation of entire families and group homes allowing for deeper connections to the family unit kids in foster care are currently placed with.
Foster Arizona Kid Initiatives Program serves kids 3-17 that are currently in foster care or have been kept out of or left the DCS system due to reunification, adoption, or guardianship. Kid Initiatives creates opportunities to build connection and resilience through engaging the community in meeting the needs of both the kids and their family units. Impact points range from events that include but are not limited to family events, kids only events, first night essential needs requests, and DCS placement need fulfillments
