We’re a local Arizona nonprofit

Dedicated to meeting every family’s unique needs on their journey home.

Our Vision: A Valley where every family has a home.

November is Homelessness Awareness Month!

Homeward Bound is providing a home for those facing homelessness as well as keeping our community in their homes through our prevention services. Join us as we raise awareness around homelessness in the Valley.

Our History

Founded with one single-family home in 1990, Homeward Bound soon learned that housing alone could not solve family homelessness. HB began offering case management, financial coaching, and employment help to prepare families to transition into stable housing. In 2000, Thunderbirds Family Village opened, providing wrap-around services to the entire family. In 2021, Homeward Bound implemented a model shift to become a housing-first program with low barrier to entry through a hybrid campus of bridge shelter and transitional housing for families. Homeward Bound also expanded to add a Homelessness Prevention program in response to community needs.
