Getting Gritty With It

Featuring Keys to Change Street Outreach Team

In the sweltering heat and the pouring rain.

On the scorching pavement, through the dusty desert, at the crack of dawn.

From the bottom of the riverbed, to the broken-down trailer, to the makeshift shade structure in the alley between rows of midcentury modern homes.

From LA to the Four Corners and back again.

There’s nowhere this team won’t go and almost nothing they won’t do to advocate for a dignified, humane, and heart-led journey home.

Meet the Keys to Change Street Outreach Team.

Thank you CASS!

With help from our Key Campus partners at CASS, the June Thirst Aid Heat Relief collection was a huge success!

Neighbors like you donated case after case of water, and dozens of heat relief kits to be distributed by the Outreach Team.

To learn more about CASS and ways to get involved, go to cassaz.org.

The next Thirst Aid collection date is Saturday, July 12th featuring Circle the City.

Advocates Needed

Just 30 seconds of your time could make all the difference!

Two current issues in the AZ State legislature are expected to have a significant impact on the work of nonprofits like Keys to Change. We're asking for your support!

Please call your AZ State representatives and senators to voice your support for

the extension and expansion of the state Low-Income Housing Tax Credit to 2031
raising the cap from $4 million to $12 million
the renewal of the Department of Housing without any riders - for at least four years.

Find your representative here.

Amy's Blog: Let that Sink In

After a 20-year partnership, the United States Postal Service is terminating their support of the Key Campus “post office.” That won’t stop us from operating it.
