AASK (Aid to Adoption of Special Kids)

AASK (Aid to Adoption of Special Kids) is a non-profit agency with over 25 years of experience finding relationships for children in the Arizona foster care system ensuring every child has someone who cares. Our commitment to families is to develop a partnership based on transparency, respect, and service. AASK has evolved over the years and created innovative programs to work with foster, kinship, and adoptive families to provide safe and loving homes. Volunteers mentor children living in group homes, and help reunite siblings separated by foster care. We have 3 locations in the valley and our staff, including bilingual employees, is responsive and available to provide consistent support, resources, and training every step of the way.

Arizona Veteran StandDown Alliance

The Arizona Veteran StandDown Alliance is a DBA of the Arizona Coalition to End Homelessness and was formed not only to manage the Maricopa County StandDown but to assist in funding the StandDown events that occur throughout the state. A StandDown is community-based event where organizations come together to provide annual, one to three day events that bring together the State's homeless and at-risk military veterans, connecting them with services ranging from:VA HealthCare, Mental Health Services, Clothing, Meals, Emergency Shelter, Transitional and Permanent Housing, ID/ Drivers License's, Court Services and Legal Aide, Showers and Haircuts and myriad other services and resources. StandDowns are held in different counties throughout the State with the largest, serving approximately 1,850 veterans, at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum at the Arizona State Fairgrounds in Maricopa County on Jnuary of this year. While its primary goal is helping homeless veterans access the resources needed (including housing) to regain their highest level of independence; its secondary goal is to bring our community and service providers together in a collaborative format that can build relationships throughout the year that positively benefit homeless and at-risk veterans. Ultimately, it is our hope that the events will create the awareness, political/community will and consistent data necessary to acquire the on-going resources it will take to end veteran homelessness once and for all.
