Tempe Mayor Corey Woods and various city council members were in attendance to witness the groundbreaking.

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.
