More than 25 homeless people facing harsher-than-normal times during the COVID-19 pandemic are now safely housed thanks to a partnership between the city of Scottsdale’s Human Services Department, the Phoenix Rescue Mission and Community Bridges.
The trio launched a temporary hotel shelter program in September, according to a press release.
“This program is the silver lining to a very tough year,” said Human Services Department Director Greg Bestgen. “Together, we have been able to help more people experiencing homelessness through CARES Act funding and support from city leaders.”
