Our History
Founded with one single-family home in 1990, Homeward Bound soon learned that housing alone could not solve family homelessness. HB began offering case management, financial coaching, and employment help to prepare families to transition into stable housing. In 2000, Thunderbirds Family Village opened, providing wrap-around services to the entire family. In 2021, Homeward Bound implemented a model shift to become a housing-first program with low barrier to entry through a hybrid campus of bridge shelter and transitional housing for families. Homeward Bound also expanded to add a Homelessness Prevention program in response to community needs.
“When our child was three months old, we were seeking a safe, supportive and education minded school for her to attend full time. After researching multiple centers, we landed on Strong Foundations. Boy, are we glad we did! Strong Foundations has helped our child meet and exceed growth milestones. Today, at three years old, she is thriving and happy!”
