Building the Future

A New Home

Together, We're Building a Place of Hope

Every gift helps create a permanent home where seniors, families and individuals find food, shelter, and stability. Your support stays in our local community to take care of those in need.

The Challenge We're Facing

  • For 60 years, Tempe Community Action Agency has been a lifeline for neighbors experiencing hunger, housing instability, and financial crisis. In recent years, demand for our services has grown dramatically—outpacing the limits of our current facilities.
  • Families often need more than one service at a time. But today, those services are spread across multiple locations, creating barriers when people need help most.

We can do better—and together, we will!

A Vision of the Future: Building Hope

TCAA has launched a $17 million capital campaign to create a 23,000-square-foot permanent home for TCAA. 

This new facility will allow us to serve more people, more efficiently, and with dignity by providing a centralized, welcoming hub where individuals and families can access comprehensive support in one place.

What Your Support Makes Possible

The new Jerry W. Brock Foundation Human Services Center will:

  • Serve 40,000+ people annually, a 15% increase in reach
  • Provide over 1 million meals each year through expanded food programs
  • Offer 80 emergency and transitional shelter beds
  • Create a trauma-informed, accessible space designed for long-term community impact

A Place Designed for Dignity and Impact

The new facility will include:

  • A Larger Food Pantry
    More space to meet the increasing need in our community
  • Emergency Shelter & Transitional Housing
    Safe, dignified spaces for neighbors in crisis
  • Resource Navigation and Case Management
    One-on-one support for housing, benefits, and financial stability
Faces of Hope: "TCAA helped me breathe again - literally and emotionally. They helped me feel like I wasn't along. Thanks to them, we have cool air, food on the table and a home we can stay in. - Maria, single mother of 3

We're Building Momentum - And We Need You

Thanks to generous donors and partners, we have raised a significant portion of the $17 million goal. $2 million remains to bring this vision fully to life.

Now, we’re inviting the broader community to take part in this once-in-a-generation project.

Every gift—no matter the size—moves us closer to opening the doors.

Not Just a Building

“For nearly 60 years, I have witnessed TCAA’s evolution to become the East Valley’s most significant and diverse safety net for East Valley residents in need. TCAA’s Building Resilience Campaign will not only transform and innovate how human services are delivered, it will build TCAA its first permanent home so they can reach even more people. Please join me in supporting their efforts with a gift to their capital campaign.” —Jenny Norton
