Homeless person inspires 2 women to build women’s center

An Ahwatukee couple’s mission to open a women’s shelter has come to fruition.

The idea of a women’s shelter came to Shante Saulsberry, after she saw a woman named Janice every day, while she was heading to work.

“Janice is a homeless woman that was here in Ahwatukee. I found Janice in early 2020, during the pandemic,” said Saulsberry. “I started asking her, ‘do you need a mask? Do you need food?’ When I got breakfast, I got her breakfast from Chick-Fil-A.”

Saulsberry and her wife, Sheri, started calling around different shelters to see if they could get Janice some help.
