About House of Refuge
The House of Refuge story began after the Williams Air Force Base in southeast Mesa was decommissioned in 1993. In 1996, 88 homes were turned into transitional housing for families experiencing homelessness.
Today, almost 30 years later, House of Refuge continues to provide transitional housing. Our committed, professional staff and team of volunteers work with families, offering wrap-around support programs, to help them regain their dignity, heal from trauma, find employment, and ultimately obtain stable housing.
Our impact:
78,828 bed nights in the safety and comfort of homes in a peaceful neighborhood setting.
90% of adult heads of households in participating families were actively employed at graduation.
38% of participating families increased their household income prior to graduation.
88% of participating families graduated to stable housing.
