Rescue Restore Reengage
Mission Statement
SRM provides a path out of homelessness by addressing its root causes, such as trauma, addiction and extreme poverty in a gospel-powered, life transforming environment. In this relational-community approach, people who were once hopeless and destitute find support, healing, dignity and restoration through the love of Jesus Christ.
Hope Cottage
Hope Cottage is an emergency recovery shelter for women and children. It is the only one of its kind in northern Arizona, where up to 65 women and their children find a safe place to rest, good food, free clothing and recovery support. Hope Cottage is a safe and sober "home" for those seeking help.
The Mission
The Rescue Mission is an emergency recovery shelter for men. It is also a full food kitchen for ALL who are hungry downtown. The Mission provides safe shelter for up to 80 men per night in a sober supportive environment.
Sanctuary house
Sanctuary House is a healing campus for men. The emphasis is on Spiritual Life Formation, Healing and Destiny. This property is also a Community Outreach Center for bible studies, life skill and training classes and activities common to all of SRM. This photo is from a Reset Retreat in Phoenix where most of Sanctuary House attended.

Lives changed...
People are welcomed here from all over the country. Some have amazing stories of how they got here and why. Since 1957 we have been feeding nutritious warm meals and providing safe emergency shelter and clothing to anyone in need. In recent years our greatest growth has been in healing and recovery. In a sober, faith-based community of love and support people re-discover dignity, find hope and learn that God doesn't make mistakes.
Love is a safe place of shelter, for it never stops believing the best for others. Love never takes failure as defeat, for it never gives up. 1 Cor 13: 7 TPT

Solving homelessness takes a human-to-human, heart-to-heart connection.
In 2024 SRM served 1,500 people with shelter and other emergency services, along with over 32,724 bed nights. This was down from FY23’s 39,538 bed nights due to a hail-induced roof failure in our men’s shelter facility. (The Mission facility now has a new roof). We also served many vulnerable and medically fragile individuals in 2024; 78% reported one or more disabling condition; 32% reported a mental health diagnosis; 26% reported chronic health conditions; 32% were over the age of 55; 15% were veterans; and 26% were chronically homeless.
Currently, 60% of our staff across our three shelters have lived experience with homelessness, many of whom worked their way through SRM programming and developed a strong desire to give back after graduating. Additionally, several former program participants volunteer at our locations and contribute to the movement that once helped them.
