HIKE
HIKE helps children build reading skills through one-on-one support. Kids who can read are more likely to graduate—and graduation creates a clearer path out of poverty.

What it takes to exit poverty
Phoenix Family works inside affordable housing communities so families, children, and seniors can meet urgent needs, build stability, and keep moving forward — with support that doesn’t disappear after the crisis passes.
Why where you live matters
A stable, affordable home is the foundation for health, learning, safety, and opportunity. But housing alone isn’t enough. Phoenix Family brings support right where people live — meeting urgent needs and staying alongside families and seniors as they work toward a more secure future.

What it takes to exit poverty.
One-time help isn’t enough. Lasting change takes time, consistency, and the right support at the right moments.
That’s why our work is built around what it actually takes – meeting urgent needs, staying connected over time, building skills, and creating the conditions for a more secure future.
Progress you can see.
When support is consistent and close to home, small changes add up. Families stay housed. Children improve in school. Seniors remain in their homes.
