Governor Katie Hobbs and ADVS are proud to announce the awardees of the Homes for Heroes grant program, a statewide initiative designed to address veteran homelessness by expanding transitional housing, reducing barriers to care, and increasing access to same-day services for Arizona’s most vulnerable Veterans.

These awards reflect Arizona’s ongoing commitment to ending Veteran homelessness by expanding access to housing and supportive services across all regions of the state.

“Our Veterans have sacrificed so much for our country," said Director Scott. "We owe it to them to ensure they have a safe place to sleep, and the support they need to rebuild their lives. With these new investments, we are taking meaningful steps toward that goal."

🌟 Sponsor a Wreath – Honor Our Arizona Veterans 🌟
This year, we’re asking for your support to help ensure every fallen hero at Arizona’s three Veteran Memorial Cemeteries at Camp Navajo, Marana and Sierra Vista receives a wreath on Wreaths Across America Day. With the deadline fast approaching (end of this month!), now is the time to act.

By sponsoring a wreath, you help Remember • Honor • Teach the sacrifices of those who served. Visit the sponsorship page here to make your donation: https://bit.ly/4hQdU4m

Every donation matters — whether you sponsor one wreath or many, your contribution helps ensure that no veteran’s service goes unrecognized. Please share this post, tag someone who might also want to help, and let’s work together to reach our goal before the deadline.

Thank you for supporting our veterans and honoring their legacy.
