Valley Cities Counseling recently received a $7,200 grant from the Union Pacific Foundation to purchase furnishings for Valley Cities’ Phoenix Rising project.

Phoenix Rising helpe homeless young adults (ages 18-25) transition from homelessness to independent living through housing, case management and life skills training. “This project encompasses every aspect of a young adult’s situation; it is more than just a place to sleep, it is also support, treatment, and training,” said Ken Taylor, Valley Cities chief executive officer.

The focus of Phoenix Rising is furthering a young adult’s education, providing skills that help the young adult become responsible, productive and independent.
