CHANGING LIVES.
Working together.
Every day in Arizona, an average of 15 children enter the foster care system.
Their first day is filled with uncertainty.
Will there be a foster family available?
Will they be placed with their siblings?
Will their teachers understand what they’ve been through?
Without stable families and meaningful support, children in foster care face increased risk of heartbreaking outcomes.
At Arizona 1.27, we are working to change that.
Our vision is that every child who enters care is welcomed into a safe, loving family, surrounded by a thriving community of support.
We bridge the gaps that keep children and families from truly thriving—because trauma is complex, and healing requires coordinated support across every area of a child’s life.
That’s why our work connects children to the three places that matter most:
home, school, and community.
