The ECH/Justa Center, 1001 West Jefferson Street, Phoenix, AZ 85007
The ECH/Justa Center is a day drop-in center for homeless senior citizens, which provides a safe haven from the elements and from those who prey upon the homeless.
Between the hours of 7:30 - 3:30, Sunday through Friday, an average of 80 people each day seek shelter and aid in the Justa Center. While clients are there for the day, they get assistance from staff and volunteers with obtaining housing, hygiene issues, referrals to other services and agencies, breakfast and lunch. There are Bible studies available during the week and church services on Sunday at 10:00 for those wishing to attend.
