Still time to donate to nonprofits helping homeless, pets

Group raising funds for new homeless outreach center; food bank provides supplies for family pets

Loni Nannini Special to the Arizona Daily Star ‘Tis the season of goodwill, and local nonprofits are making it easy to pass it on to people and animals alike.

Founded in 1996, the nonprofit provides not only housing, but counseling and a wide array of support services for more than 600 clients at 11 temporary housing locations and apartments in the city. Clients include veterans, those re-entering the community after incarceration or spending time in institutions, and the chronically homeless. The organization also offers housing for homeless families and is filling gaps by serving homeless youth aging out of foster care and LGBTQ+ youth.

Old Pueblo is facilitating that plan with the Center for Housing First, slated to begin construction in January with a budget of $3 million. The 20,000-square-foot facility located at 2323 S. Park Ave. will provide an “epicenter for support services” to undercut the root causes of homelessness. “This is a space where we can work together with other nonprofits using ‘housing first’ and harm reduction models. Organizationally, community-wise, we are trying to get everyone working on these evidence-based practices to solve the root causes of homelessness,” said Litwicki.

DeConcini said the food bank is dedicated to ensuring that people never have to choose between feeding their families and feeding their animals.
