Supportive Housing Services

Phoenix CDS Supportive Housing Services seek to end homelessness in our community by providing safe, affordable housing and on-site services that empower residents to increase their independence, improve their quality of life, and maintain their housing on a permanent basis.  With 159 units, Phoenix CDS is the largest provider of supportive housing for homeless veterans, individuals and families in the area.  Providing a place to live is only the beginning.  Phoenix CDS works to ensure each family or individual is able to maintain their home with services and support dedicated to helping each build the self-sufficiency and the skills they need to change their lives.  Supportive housing like that offered by Phoenix CDS is the most cost effective way to end homelessness and reduce its related costs including healthcare, unemployment, institutionalization and emergency services.
