Try this first

Not sure you need shelter? Try diversion first.

If you're at risk of losing housing but not yet on the street, diversion support may keep you housed — faster and with fewer barriers than shelter intake.

Understand the system

Confused by the housing waitlist? Start here.

Most housing help runs through coordinated entry — one front door, one assessment, one shared list. Our plain-language explainer shows where to start and what “prioritized” really means.

Still housed? Put it in writing

Need to write your landlord and don’t know how to start?

A payment plan for back rent, a repair that keeps getting ignored, a deposit you never got back — pick your situation and we write the letter in plain words, with the Arizona law that backs it up.
