UMOM New Day Centers provides emergency shelter and innovative housing solutions to end homelessness for families, single women and youth. These individuals and families are waiting to escape the unsafe environment of living on the streets, sleeping in their cars, or residing in an unstable living situation. On average, there are over 130 families each night experiencing homelessness in Maricopa County and wait anywhere from 10-14 weeks for shelter.
Through their emergency shelter programs, UMOM serves approximately 500+ families and approximately 1000+ women each year. Their youth programs serve approximately 300 unaccompanied youth annually and 500 families within their Rapid Rehousing programs. In 2019, UMOM served over 18,000 individuals experiencing homelessness who are seeking assistance. These individuals have likely experienced a number of life-threatening or traumatic experiences due to their time in the military, experience as a domestic violence victim, a victim of human or sex trafficking, displacement, mental and physical health impairments, sexual orientation/gender identification discrimination and more.
UMOM’s focus is on restoring hope and rebuilding lives by providing no-cost services and basic needs to all clients such as food, clothing, hygiene supplies, etc. Clients also receive access to workforce development assistance, job training, health and wellness services, child services assistance, life-skills classes and more. UMOM also offers innovative housing solutions by building and maintaining our own affordable housing and rapid rehousing programs.
Stella O’Rourke has worked at UMOM for almost 2 years on their Development Team. Her role is to connect corporations and their employees to UMOM through events, volunteer and sponsorship opportunities, in-kind drives and more. She has worked with over 100 different corporations throughout Arizona who are passionate about ending homelessness for families, single women and youth.
With over 10 years of experience in the nonprofit field, the foundation of her professional development has come from her work in assisting our community’s most marginalized individuals including those experiencing homelessness, mental & behavioral health needs, working with adopted and fostered youth, children within the juvenile justice system, and issues surrounding girls and women.
Stella comes from a non-traditional background herself. As an adoptee from a young age, her non-traditional upbringing has often allowed her to relate to the beneficiaries she’s served. Stella is passionate about creating or enhancing opportunity for all individuals regardless of economic background, race, gender, trauma history, life-experience, etc.
On a day-to-day basis, she strives to assist individuals in advancing their skills, ability, and increasing accessibility to needed services & programs. Stella earned her Masters degree in Nonprofit Leadership and Management from Arizona State University and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications from Louisiana State University.
In her free time she enjoys engaging and networking with other young professionals and community leaders and enjoys spending time with family, friends and her dog, Pickle.
