The Family Shelter
1100 S. Maple Avenue, Yuma
 The Family Shelter
provides a stable, safe environment for married couples, single
parents with children, or single women. Women who are
participants in the New Life Recovery Program also live in the
shelter. This shelter’s main objective is to provide emergency
shelter to those women and families who find themselves homeless
and often without hope. Crossroads is in the business of
restoring hope through the services offered to anyone seeking
help.
Our mission is
to improve the well being of homeless children by providing them
with case management and the opportunity to access community
services which may help them improve the quality of their
lives. The shelter helps the children get through a tough time
by building memories in an environment of love and caring staff
members. Parents are given the opportunity to access services
from Crossroads or other agencies and continue to work or to
look for work.
We offer all
of the same services as the Men's Emergency Shelter. We try
hard to help women and families achieve an independent
lifestyle. We also serve as a refuge for families or women who
are escaping an abusive environment. Our case managers work
with each family on a case-by-case basis to try to determine
which course of action will best help the family. We help with
everything from enrolling children in school or daycare to
referrals to agencies. Our goal is to provide services that
make the least disruption for the children but the most helpful
for the parents. Families are important. Crossroads’
philosophy includes family reunification, support, and
functionality.
Homeless women
can access services by apply at the Family Shelter. The
friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable case managers will assist
guests with obtaining identification, apply for food stamps or
AHCCCS and other important connections to restoring their life
to “normal”.
