Homeward Bound is recognized as the largest provider of transitional housing in Arizona whose mission is to assist families achieve economic independence, secure long-term, safe, decent, affordable housing and break multi-generational cycles of homelessness and domestic violence.

Homeward Bound assists families with a “hand up, not a handout.” Each family participating in the program contributes 30 percent of their adjusted gross income for housing, utilities, and support services. In addition to transitional housing, Homeward Bound provides a 12- to 24-month comprehensive social services program including case management, mental health services, employment services, life skills programs, and affordable and accessible childcare.
Homeward Bound is also the beneficiary of the Annual Baby Diaper Drive which kicks off November 15 and runs though January 15, 2007. Founded by Eileen Rogers, President of Allegra Print and Imaging, the 8th Annual Baby Drive has a goal of collecting 100,000 diapers and $75,000 for emergency funds!
