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.
Construction of Phoenix Rising is under way next to Valley Cities’ Auburn community health center at 2704 I St. NE, Auburn.
