Central Arizona Shelter Services (CASS)

Every afternoon, 365 days a year, the line begins to form - men and women line up to enter CASS - the largest homeless emergency shelter in the state, housing up to 470 every night. In a neighborhood across town, you'll find a small enclave of 30 apartments - a shelter for families who were on the streets before coming to CASS for help. Shelter is where our support begins, but CASS provides more than just a place to sleep. Our model is effective because we provide wrap-around case management and supportive services to stabilize our clients, help them find sustainable income and move them into permanent housing. This is what we do.
