Who is eligible and how to apply:

Coconino County residents with ID (requirements vary depending on funding source) who have not received similar assistance in the last 12 months. Clients under Case Management may be assisted up to three times within a 12 month period. Applicants must meet income qualifications. In general, we are unable to assist people living on the Reservation as they have their own tribal services. Clients must be able to prove U.S. citizenship

Applicants can call for information or come in 8-5, M-F, and fill out an intake form. Appointments will not be made by phone. Depending on the level of emergency and/or supervisor’s approval, we may be able to provide immediate assistance without an appointment (particularly medical or domestic violence issues).

Note: Assistance is always dependant on availability of funds. As needed we will partner with or refer to other agencies.
