EMERGENCY OVERNIGHT SHELTER & DAYTIME RESOURCES
At any point in time, more than 1,000 adults and children are experiencing homelessness in Tempe. Through the Interfaith Homeless Emergency Lodging Program (I-HELP), TCAA and a network of community and faith partners offer overnight emergency shelter for adults who are experiencing homelessness.
If you are age 18 and older and in need of I-HELP emergency shelter services, contact us on the I-HELP Hotline at 480-389-1277.
For over 17 years TCAA has successfully operated I-HELP. This program provides overnight sleeping space, evening meals, shower and laundry services, as well as intensive case management and resource navigation to assist up to 40 participants at a time in resolving barriers to end their period of homelessness.
Intakes are completed Monday through Thursday on a ‘First Come/ First Serve’ basis at TCAA's Esquer and Ramsey Center, 2146 E. Apache Blvd, Tempe, AZ 85282
The following resources are available during daytime operating hours for IHELP participants and extended community:
- Computer and phones

- Hydration Station
Operating Hours: Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 3 PM
