About Agape House

Homeless Services in Prescott, AZ

The Agape House of Prescott is a local nonprofit that is changing the lives of families in crisis by rebuilding and transforming their lives. They exist to provide long-term transitional housing for families who are currently without a home.

The face of families experiencing homelessness is not who you may think. There are students without homes at Yavapai College, Bradshaw and Prescott High School, and in Prescott area elementary schools. They serve you at restaurants, help you at Thrift Stores and Grocery Stores, and work on Construction sites. They are families living on friends’ couches, in the forest, in parking lots, and trying to manage a family while their ‘home’ is a car.

Agape House of Prescott shows them love and support and shares the hope of Jesus with them. Agape House has provided discipleship, mentoring, life skills training, and interim housing for families experiencing homelessness, resulting in an 86% success rate of families living independently one year after they leave the program.
