Founded in 1912, as our state’s first orphanage, today the primary mission of Arizona’s Children Association (AzCA) is to provide each child with a healthy family environment on a permanent basis. AzCA;s Riverside Shelter is a 10-bed facility licensed by and contracted with DES to provide short-term physical care of children who have experienced a disruption in their living situation until a more permanent placement can be made. The shelter was established in 1995 and serves approximately 40 boys ages 5-17 each year from Pima and Cochise counties. In addition to providing care and supervision in a homelike setting, the staff at Riverside Shelter also assures adequate clothing, prepares nutritious meals, ensures appropriate educational and social recreation activities, and provides transportation to appointments. The shelter serves as a safe haven for children who have generally been victims and/or witnesses to abuse and neglect in their own homes.
