A $50,000 grant from Tempe-based Salt River Project will be used for a container housing community built on church grounds in Glendale.

The money aids a Phoenix organization’s mission to provide emergency shelter and social services to help families move from homelessness to employment, permanent housing and self-sufficiency, according to a release from Family Promise of Greater Phoenix.

The SRP contribution will assist Family Promise's Legacy Village initiative. It will be distributed over two fiscal years, according to the release.

Ted Taylor, CEO of Family Promise of Greater Phoenix, said the organization’s investment “directly impacts our ability to serve more families experiencing homelessness and help them achieve self-sufficiency."

Legacy Village is part of Family Promise's "A Journey Home" capital campaign, a $4.2 million initiative to double the organization's capacity to serve more than 400 families annually across the Valley, the release stated.
