What We Do

PROVIDING PATHWAYS OUT OF POVERTY

At Primavera, we recognize and understand the stress and anxiety that poverty, homelessness or fear of homelessness can cause you and your family. We are here to assist you when you are in crisis and to provide the relevant support, guidance and resources to help you develop a viable plan for the future. We offer you the opportunity to develop your skills and assets, set realistic goals and work toward achieving long-term financial stability. 

For many men, women, and families who are homeless, the first step to getting off the streets is connecting with us. Primavera provides tangible pathways out of poverty and annually serves 14,000 to 16,000 people living in Southern Arizona — people who want to improve their lives. Through partnerships with volunteers, neighborhoods, and a wide variety of community-based organizations, businesses and the public sector, we offer vital areas of support to help our participants break the cycles of poverty and homelessness.


EMERGENCY SERVICES

Individuals and families may find immediate relief and shelter as they recover from economic crisis through our emergency services. These programs often serve as the first stepping-stone out of poverty, assisting people as they recover from economic crisis to acquire the information and skills needed to live independently and offset future crises.
