Youth On Their Own (YOTO) supports the high school graduation and continued success of youth experiencing homelessness in Pima County. YOTO's goal is to address the educational barriers faced by homeless youth by providing earned financial support, free basic needs like food and hygiene supplies, and the support of consistent adults. YOTO serves 1,500 youth experiencing homelessness each year at over 100 schools across the county and has a 93% graduation rate for its participants.

ICS provides pathways leading to more stable and self-sufficient lives. The goal of ICS’s Emergency Financial Assistance program is to prevent eviction and keep families and seniors safe in their homes, which is critical because it is 3 to 5 times more expensive to rehouse people once they have lost their home.  ICS is a unique service agency because it has wrap-around services to give people a hand up including a brick-and-mortar food bank, mobile food bank, a workforce development program, and transportation, mobile meals and food box delivery for seniors and disabled adults, among other services.

The ECHO Program provides free after-school programs, meals, and vital resources for families in Tucson’s 85705 community.
