Our purpose

Help people take
their next step
with dignity.

We bridge connections between people seeking housing and operators who may be able to meet their needs.

What guides us

The person comes first.

Respect

Every person’s circumstances deserve thoughtful consideration and judgment-free communication.

Clarity

We help people understand potential options, ask useful questions, and consider their next steps.

Connection

We build relationships with operators and community partners to support more informed housing referrals.

Local connections

Serving throughout
the Valley.

Our primary service area is Phoenix Metro, including the East and West Valley. We also consider housing requests in other Arizona communities, including Tucson, based on available operator connections and each client’s needs. Contact us to discuss your preferred location.

Share your preferred location during intake. Options in any area depend on our operator connections, current openings, and your needs.

Our role in your search

Kindred Pathways provides placement and referral assistance. Each home or program sets its own rates, eligibility criteria, services, and admission requirements.

Our goal is to help you explore the options with a clearer understanding of what may fit. When we’re unable to make a housing connection, we try to connect you with outside resources or organizations that may be able to help.

A new chapter starts with a conversation.

Tell us what you’re looking for. We’ll help you explore your next step.
