About US

Who We Are

At Step One Halfway House, we believe that change happens one step at a time. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Phoenix, Arizona, dedicated to providing safe, stable, and supportive housing for men in transition. Our mission is to create a structured environment where individuals can rebuild their lives with dignity, accountability, and purpose.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple yet powerful: to empower men facing homelessness and life challenges by providing safe housing, a supportive community, and opportunities to rebuild their future with accountability and stability. We understand that the journey to stability requires more than just a place to stay—it requires community, accountability, and the chance to start fresh.

Our Programs

Step One Halfway House offers transitional housing and scholarship-based programs that help men build a foundation for independent living. Through structured housing and community support, residents gain the stability they need to secure employment, develop life skills, and move toward long-term success.

Why Step One Matters

  • Rising Community Need: Phoenix and Maricopa County face a growing crisis of homelessness and substance-related struggles.
  • Safe & Supportive Housing: We provide affordable, structured housing environments that prioritize accountability and community living.
  • Scholarship Opportunities: Our programs are designed to help men who are motivated to rebuild their lives but lack financial resources.

Our Vision for the Future

Step One Halfway House is more than housing—it is a pathway. We envision a community where every man has the chance to rise, recover, and rebuild. With continued support from donors, volunteers, and community partners, we are expanding our reach to serve more individuals in need.

Get Involved

You can help us change lives. Whether through donations, partnerships, or volunteering, your support allows Step One Halfway House to continue offering hope and stability to men in transition.


Step One Halfway House provides safe, stable, and affordable transitional housing for men who have committed to living free from alcohol and drugs. Our goal is to maintain a respectful, structured living environment where each resident contributes to the upkeep and positive atmosphere of the home. Step One Halfway House is a supportive housing community, not a licensed treatment provider. We do not offer clinical services or therapy. Residents are expected to remain alcohol- and drug-free during their stay and may be referred to outside resources when additional support is needed.
