Tempe Community Action Agency, a local East Valley nonprofit, broke ground on its new headquarters as part of its “Building Resilience” Capital and Program Expansion Campaign on March 18.
Tempe Mayor Corey Woods and various city council members were in attendance to witness the groundbreaking.
The larger, modernized facility will assist TCAA in extending its homelessness prevention, shelter and bridge housing, food security and economic empowerment programs, creating a stronger support network fostering stability and self-sufficiency for clients, a press release explained.
Programs include:
A 2,300-square-foot market-style food pantry allowing people to better select food that aligns with their preferences and dietary needs
A 2,000-square-foot operating kitchen supporting meals for participants housed at the new facility, city senior centers, Meals on Wheels programs and other recipients
A 3,000-square-foot space to accommodate multiple workstations and meeting areas dedicated for resource navigation, financial aid and economic empowerment programs addressing poverty and homelessness prevention
80 new transitional housing and emergency shelter beds.
