About Our Family Services
Our Family Services is a Tucson community resource serving people in need, with a mission to eliminate homelessness and strengthen the community. Its work centers on people experiencing homelessness, including families and young people, while also helping community members connect with broader social services. The organization provides several points of entry for support, ranging from direct services for homeless families and youth to information and referral resources available to anyone in the community.
For families experiencing homelessness, Our Family Services serves as a starting point for a fresh start. The organization describes this work as a point of entry, connecting families with support as they navigate homelessness and work toward greater stability. The website identifies homeless families as one of the organization's central service areas, although it does not list specific eligibility requirements or describe every step involved in the family services process.
Our Family Services also works with homeless youth through comprehensive services designed around each young person's unique needs. A central part of that work is Reunion House, a crisis shelter for abused, homeless, and runaway teens between the ages of 12 and 17. According to the organization, Reunion House is the only shelter of its kind in Southern Arizona. Its role gives Our Family Services a specific connection to young people facing immediate housing instability, abuse, or unsafe circumstances.
In addition to direct services, Our Family Services maintains information and referral resources that help people find assistance throughout the community. Its I&R directory, 2-1-1 helpline, and online portal connect community members with thousands of resources. This part of the organization's work extends beyond people already receiving shelter or homelessness services. It offers a way for anyone in the community to look for relevant support and identify possible next steps. The organization's website also provides Spanish-language access, along with information about its mission, programs, leadership, partners, financials, newsroom, and opportunities to get involved.
People who want to connect with Our Family Services can begin by exploring the organization's services for homeless families or homeless youth, using the information and referral directory, calling 2-1-1, or visiting the online portal. Those seeking immediate information about a safe place can use the organization's designated safe-place resource. Community members can also find ways to help, advocate, donate, or join the organization's email list through its website. Together, these options reflect Our Family Services' role in Tucson as both a direct-service organization and a connection point for people looking for resources across Southern Arizona.
