CURRENT PROJECTS

Sojourner Center Capital Campaign         
Sojourner Center has finished the $11.8 million capital campaign to build transitional living apartments for domestic violence survivors. The campaign was completed in just over two years because of such and outpouring of support by our community. The Home Builders Association of Central Arizona made a commitment of $2.5 million to the project. Your support in helping us reach that commitment is always appreciated.  DONATE TODAY

The apartment complex is located near the Heritage Campus, the hub of many Sojourner Center resources. The first phase of the Transitional Family Living Campus is finished with nine apartments, a clubhouse and park.

Human Services Campus
Approximately 10,000-14,000 homeless men, women and children live in shelters, cars, unsafe buildings or on the streets in Maricopa County. In November 2005, an unprecedented solution to this valley-wide problem took shape as the Human Services Campus (Campus) opened its doors to homeless individuals. The Human Services Campus mission is to use the power of collaboration to provide solutions to end homelessness. Help end homelessness...DONATE TODAY.

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Phoenix
The Ronald McDonald House fills a need for hard-to-find accomodations near hospitals for families traveling from out of town for treatment.  Stays can range from onde day to more than a year.  The Ronald McDonald houses throughout the nation are alternatives to costly hotels and also allow families in similar situations to support each other.  Familes are asked to donate $10 a day for their stay, but can often stay free if they can't afford to donate. 

Home Builders Care is currently renovating the kitchen and building a free standing livingroom to assist Ronald McDonald House with their current capital campaign to increase their number of rooms from 26 to 45.  DR Horton/Continental Series and Morrison Homes are the Builder Captains overseeing the projects augment in-kind assistance provided by members of the Home Builders Association of Central Arizona.
