🚨 The need has never been greater.
According to the 2026 Point-In-Time (PIT) Count Report, the number of individuals experiencing homelessness in Mesa has increased over the last year. At the same time, the 2025 Maricopa County Department of Public Health Heat-Related Deaths Report shows Mesa has the second-highest number of heat-related deaths in the county.
💜 That’s why Circle the City’s new East Valley Medical Respite Center is so important. Opening in just a few months, this new 85-bed facility will provide people experiencing homelessness with a safe place to heal after illness, injury, or hospitalization, instead of recovering on the streets.
Now, thanks to an incredible donor, every gift can go twice as far through a $500,000 challenge.
✨ Because of supporters like you, we’ve already reached 80% of our $24 million goal. Together, we can help bring lifesaving care, healing, and hope to the East Valley community when it’s needed most.
