Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Health and Wellness Programs
A New Leaf was established in 1971, as PREHAB of AZ, to provide residential and outpatient behavioral health services for youth struggling with substance use and behavioral health challenges. Over the past 51 years, the organization has expanded its mental health services for all ages, in addition to providing multiple social service programs serving individuals and families experiencing poverty, homelessness, domestic violence, and other crisis situations.
A New Leaf provides outpatient mental health counseling, therapeutic after-school and summer programming, medication management, and in-home/school rehabilitative behavioral coaching for approximately 4,500 adults, youth, and children annually, targeting low-income households in the Phoenix Metro area.
Sexual & Domestic Violence Services
A New Leaf offers a continuum of services to respond to domestic violence situations, from immediate crisis stabilization, to providing safety, housing and basic needs, to the support needed to ultimately break free from an abusive relationship. With seven programs, serving more than 5,500 survivors and answering more than 11,000 crisis calls each year, A New Leaf’s services are vital to protecting and empowering the most vulnerable members of our community.
In addition to emergency shelter, A New Leaf provides community-based education and outreach, support and advocacy for victims of sexual assault, and court advocacy.
Supportive Housing
A New Leaf provides Permanent Supportive Housing, Affordable Housing, Rapid Re-Housing, and Tenant Based Rental Assistance to low-income families and individuals, as well as those transitioning out of emergency shelter.
Emergency Shelters
A New Leaf provides support to the homeless though seven shelter programs: La Mesita Family Homeless Shelter, Autumn House Domestic Violence Shelter, Faith House Crisis Shelter, East Valley Man's Center, Domestic Violence Overflow Shelter Program, Community Alliance Against Family Abuse, and West Valley Housing Assistance Center.
Financial Empowerment Programs
A New Leaf believes that financial empowerment is the key to overcoming homelessness, generational poverty, and financial instability and offers a comprehensive array of programs that provide pathways to long-term financial stability for disadvantaged individuals. Financial Empowerment Services include workforce development, financial wellness, budget coaching, credit counseling, public benefits enrollment, access to education, career training, small business support, emergency rent and utility financial assistance, reentry services for justice-involved individuals, and tax filing assistance. Financial Empowerment Services are offered through A New Leaf’s Shelter and Supportive Housing Programs, Mesa Community Action Network (MesaCAN), Workforce Central, the BankWork$ Career Training Program, the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program, and Veterans Business Opportunity Center.
Education Support Programs
PHOENIX DAY EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION PROGRAM
Phoenix Day is the only nationally accredited, 4-STAR, bilingual early childhood education program located within the south-central Phoenix region, and one of the few high-quality early childhood education programs in Maricopa County that does not limit enrollment of low-income children subsidized by DES. Programming focuses on the cognitive, language, social/emotional, physical, self-help, and behavioral skills needed to succeed. Phoenix Day helps close the opportunity gap and ensures that low-income children enter kindergarten ready to learn by supporting the development of skills needed to succeed in school, and life.
ASSETS TO OPPORTUNITY
The Assets to Opportunity (ATO) Program is a matched savings program offering low- to moderate-income individuals an opportunity to access post-secondary education or start or expand a small business. The program is offered through Mesa Community Action Network (MesaCAN), a subsidiary of A New Leaf.
Family Support Services
A New Leaf’s Family Support Services improve household stability and help families create better relationships between adults and children. Comprehensive programs support families in their journey toward healing and stability, helping them to build positive family dynamics and relationships. Programs include Building Resilient Families, Family Connections, Nurturing Parenting, Parents and Children Teaming Together (PACTT), and Supervised Visitation.
Foster Care
A New Leaf’s Foster Care Program recruits and trains adults to become licensed foster parents, kinship care providers, therapeutic foster care providers, or Respite Providers. By ensuring that foster parents have the licensing, confidence, and resources they need to care for a child from the foster system, A New Leaf is creating happy homes for countless children in Arizona.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
To strengthen and expand our homeless services continuum and behavioral health services while continuing to provide a safe haven for victims of abuse.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Capacity building strategies have been identified in the areas below to carry out the goals and priorities in A New Leaf’s 2022-2024 Strategic Framework to support the organization’s sustainability, success, and continued growth.
Metrics & Evaluation – Measuring and evaluating program outcomes is critical for ensuring services are meaningful and impactful, meeting grant and contract requirements, and demonstrating success to secure funding to sustain and expand services. Historically, A New Leaf’s program metrics have been tied to government contracts, but most often do not convey the true impact of services provided to people in crisis who are experiencing complex and numerous challenges and are navigating systemic barriers that stand in the way of achieving prescribed outcomes. Although programs must continue to report on metrics defined by contracts, new metrics need to be defined to evaluate program performance and make modifications to services and processes. In addition to programs, metrics need to be established for administrative support departments including finance, facilities, HR, IT, QM, and philanthropy.
Human Resources – Challenges with employee recruitment, retention, and development have the potential to have a profoundly negative effect on A New Leaf’s ability to provide critical services to the community and to maintain funding contracts. Initiatives identified to address this include building the capacity of the HR team, offering recruitment and retention bonuses, increasing compensation rates across the agency to be more competitive in the job market, improving on-boarding processes, creating opportunities for professional development, clearly defining potential career paths, and continuing to promote a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Technology/Systems – As A New Leaf has grown and evolved in offering social services that address nearly every facet of social determinants of health, as well as managing hundreds of diverse grants and contracts, the need for building IT/systems capacity has become an urgent and complex need. Initiatives identified to address this need include building the capacity of the IT & Informatics team, implementing the Apricot 360 Social Services Software system across the organization for recording, evaluating, and cross-sharing program data, implementing and training staff to use updated Microsoft Office 365 applications universally, and upgrading technology.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
With this organization's longevity, respect within the community, strong base of renewal and major gift donors, engaged Board of Directors, collaborative partnerships and robust volunteer and intern program, A New Leaf is poised to strengthen its organizational infrastructure as it pursues program growth. We continue to measure and assess our growth and effectiveness within service programs and enhance them based on community needs.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
The above cited 2022-2024 strategic framework is currently being implemented. Specific objectives pursuant to each area of Metrics & Evaluation, Human Resources, and Technology/Systems are being completed.
