Sleep Out for Homeless ID Project
An annual event where our community spends one night outside to raise awareness and funds for free IDs—the first step out of homelessness.
Why We Slept Out
Homelessness is on the rise—especially for those living unsheltered—while funding to fight it is declining. In 2025, Maricopa County saw a 28% increase in unsheltered homelessness, even as demand for Homeless ID Project’s services grew and grant funding dropped.
To raise awareness and support during this critical time, our Board of Directors slept out for one night, calling attention to the urgent need for solutions that start with something as simple as an ID.
We’ve seen real progress before when communities act with intention—like the dramatic drop in veteran homelessness or the rapid response near the Keys Campus. This is another one of those moments.
Homelessness is not inevitable. We need your help to make change possible.
How Can You Help?
Every gift, big or small, helps end homelessness one ID at a time.
