Save the Family CEO Robyn Julien said Save the Family focuses on housing and other resources for people experiencing homelessness. In addition to housing, the organization provides other resources such as a staff therapist, job training, child and youth programs, budget assistance, and other assistance to families.

About 80 percent of families who go through the organization’s programs become self-sufficient and find permanent housing after completing the program, Julien said.

“This is a unique, two-generation approach,” Julien said, adding that 90% of those served by Family Scholar House nationwide are single mothers and many are survivors of domestic violence. Phoenix Scholar House will provide support to both parents and their children while living in the apartment.

Phoenix Scholar House will be affordable housing for single parents

Construction has begun on the Phoenix Scholar House, an affordable housing project that will have private rooms for people at the school. See the land.

Julien said many of the people living in Family Scholar House projects across the country are oriented toward healthcare, so partnering with nearby healthcare organizations like Phoenix Children’s Hospital will provide opportunities for area residents as well.
