HOMELESSNESS, Sheltering through CASS

Starting during the early 1980’s the Central Arizona Shelter Services, located at 230 South Twelfth Avenue in downtown Phoenix, Arizona, has been a home for our homeless from throughout the Valley and State, providing a safe place to live, while offering supportive and empowering transitional services.

We invite our good readers to join our family, and our Foundation’s Founder Bob Ramsey, who have been part of the glorious team of CASS for all of its decades of ministry and solidarity with our Street Neighbors:

“A blanket of newspaper covered his head,
The curb was his pillow,
 The street was his bed.”
