Mesa's Off The Streets program funds short-term hotel and motel placements as bridge housing for individuals exiting homelessness. Participants must engage with case management and accept transition to longer-term housing within ninety days when available.
Mesa launched Off The Streets in 2021 as one of the first municipally funded hotel-based bridge housing models in Arizona. The city contracts with local motels to lease blocks of rooms while case managers help participants secure documents, income, and permanent housing referrals through the Maricopa Association of Governments Continuum of Care. Stays typically run thirty to ninety days. Participants must agree to behavioral expectations, maintain rooms, and meet weekly with case managers. The program prioritizes individuals encountered during encampment outreach and avoids waitlists tied to congregate shelters that some clients refuse.
Repeated rule violations, drug use on premises, or refusal to engage with case management may end the placement and return participants to general outreach services.
