TRANSITION PHOENIX GOAL
REDEFINING HOMELESSNESS IN THE PHOENIX METRO AREA
In an area struggling with a high demographic of homelessness, the Transition Phoenix housing center provides missing resources which both aid and unite the key demographic --homeless families--and the surrounding community. While many Phoenix organizations provide relief, the transition phoenix community would allow separate centers providing housing or food to bring collective relief to a localized center.

CONTEXT
Through programs such as a library, childcare, and resident shops, the surrounding community is encouraged to be involved with events and families of the center. With these programs residents can gain work experience, have their children in safe hands, and if dinner cannot be cooked in, a dining commons is provided.
