Emanating beyond the doors of three unassuming store fronts in downtown Tucson, is an extraordinary abundance of love, compassion and community. Nestled on the one-way street of Pennington, these three spaces: Re-Threads, Our Place Clubhouse and Café 54 operate under the umbrella of Coyote Task Force. For the past 30 years they have provided employment-focused training for adults recovering from serious mental illness. It’s here where members come to avoid isolation, gain community and the confidence to re-enter the broader workforce. With recent cuts to Medicaid, their member’s health, safety and quality of life now hangs in the balance.
