For information about the Human Services Campus and its 16 nonprofit partners, visit hsc-az.org.
Founded in 2005, the Human Services Campus is a collaborative force of partner organizations united on one campus to end homelessness.
Located just west of downtown Phoenix, 16 independent agencies on the campus see nearly 1,000 individuals every day, offering a holistic range of client services including: reunification with family and friends; mental, physical and dental health; shelter; employment; meals; legal services and housing. Having all of these resources in one location with intra-agency communications makes it more feasible to provide a customized engagement for each client to help end their homelessness.
