Help with Housing for Homeless Individual and Families

There are a variety of reasons why a person might experience homelessness, including loss of employment, disability, domestic violence, substance use, or a combination of these factors. Catholic Charities has programs throughout Northern Arizona to help those experiencing homelessness find safe, stable, affordable housing.

Homeless Prevention

Homeless Prevention exclusively serves individuals and families who have been impacted by COVID-19 and are facing eviction due to non-payment of rent. Households are required to provide proof of a five-day eviction notice and will not be considered eligible if the reason for eviction is behavior related. Clients may receive financial assistance for arrears and late fees, as well as some ongoing assistance in the following months.

Communal Living

Catholic Charities offers multiple styles of communal living settings in Northern Arizona. There is no time limit for how long residents can stay in these programs. However, Catholic Charities strives to offer individuals further support in finding permanent housing beyond these programs.

Community Re-Entry

Community Re-Entry serves individuals in Northern Arizona who have had recent justice system involvement. The program provides a shared, affordable, sober living space while they work through probation or parole requirements. Residents attend weekly house meetings where they connect with other residents and staff and receive support.
