About Phoenix Foundation of Nevada
Supporting young women aging out of foster care with safe housing, life skills, and a path to independence.
Who We Are
Phoenix Foundation of Nevada is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting young women aging out of foster care as they transition into independent adulthood. We provide safe transitional housing and wraparound support designed to help young adults build stability, confidence, and opportunity.
Phoenix Foundation of Nevada was founded by Zachary and Amber Gray after witnessing firsthand the gaps young people face when they age out of foster care. One young man they supported—whom we’ll call John—highlighted the urgent need for consistent guidance, stability, and advocacy during this transition.
With the right support, John was able to address healthcare needs, secure identification, open a bank account, and pursue higher education. When that support disappeared, the challenges returned. This experience underscored a simple truth: young people don’t fail — systems fail them when support ends too soon.
Phoenix Foundation of Nevada was created to ensure no young person has to navigate that transition alone.
Our mission is to empower young women aging out of foster care by providing safe housing, life skills, and mental health and educational support — helping them heal, grow, and achieve lasting stability.

Why We Exist
OUR VISION
We envision a future where every young person aging out of foster care has the support, skills, and opportunities needed to thrive independently and reach their full potential within a safe, inclusive community.
We take a holistic, trauma-informed approach to supporting youth aging out of foster care. Our program addresses the interconnected challenges of housing instability, unemployment, and mental health through:

Our goal is not only to provide housing, but to equip young adults with the tools they need to succeed in life.
With thousands of youths aging out of foster care in our community, the need for safe, supportive transitions is urgent. You can be part of the solution through donations, volunteering, partnerships, or advocacy.
Together, we can help young people move from survival to stability — and toward a future filled with possibility.
