Tucson's Rapid Response Shelters Job Corps Youth Amid Program Uncertainty

In June 2025, Tucson's Housing and Community Development Department responded rapidly to a crisis that placed local youth at risk of homelessness.

 

After the sudden suspension of the Job Corps program by the federal government, many students at the Fred G. Acosta Job Corps Center faced losing their homes.

 

City staff from multiple teams worked together, securing stable apartments for 12 students and a young mother with her child, ensuring safety during an uncertain time.

 

Mayor Regina Romero emphasized the city’s progress, citing a 32% drop in youth homelessness over three years and highlighting the city’s strategy of providing shelter first as key to stability.

 

Pima County also joined efforts, working with community partners to offer both housing and career support.

 

Despite ongoing legal battles over the Job Corps closure, Tucson’s decisive response underscores its commitment to youth in need and the ongoing need for more affordable housing.
