TIDE OF HOPE
As the scorching summer sun beats down on Phoenix, Arizona, our unsheltered neighbors face a relentless battle against extreme heat. In recent years, Phoenix has experienced record-breaking heatwaves, with temperatures frequently exceeding 110°F (43°C). The last four years have set records for heat-related deaths in Maricopa County. In 2023 we saw 645 heat-related deaths, which is a 52% increase over 2022 – and a 750% increase in the last 10 years. While we may not have the power to halt the heat, as a united community, we can certainly save lives.4 Ways You Can Help
