Official resources in Flagstaff Arizona

[00kissmarrykick00]

There is no comprehensive collection of resources in Flagstaff, so I'm making this thread. Might do this for Tucson, as well.

Flagstaff shelter Services Inc
4185 E Huntington Dr, Flagstaff, AZ 86004

Pros: Decent food for dinner and seconds, they allow pets, no 1 under 18, sobriety not required, next to a truck stop. Bike parking. Limited client parking. They have covid tests, and they have a different area for people that contract covid to sleep in.

Cons: sobriety not required, They only allow one bag per person, If you sleep upstairs you have to go downstairs at 7 AM even though people aren't required to leave the shelter until 10 AM. It's located on a back road, so it's a 14 minute walk from the nearest bus. Thin blankets.

The shelter has a website/ email, Facebook, and Twitter. You can contact the higher up staff if you have comments or complaints that you feel it would be appropriate to share with the on-site staff. Use your best judgment on that one. Shelter tonight. Home tomorrow. | Flagstaff Shelter Services - https://flagshelter.org/

I wouldn't suggest being bothered with the other shelters unless you're into being indoctrinated into christianity.

Flagstaff Family Food Center: hot meal service
1903 N 2nd St, Flagstaff, AZ 86004
They serve food 7 days a week. Sack lunch, hot dinner.

It's a bus that has shower and restrooms and light snacks and clothes, but they are in need of clothing donations.

They also have a program where unhoused people and travelers can pick up trash for Arizona minimum. As of right now this program is dominated by regulars, but they should be making a new schedule to pencil new people in - in the near future.

The bus parks in different spots, so check their schedule to see when they are.

That's very helpful. Thank you for the resource!

Let me also add:

For Native Americans in the area, Native Americans for Community Action (NACA) provides alot of healthcare/addiction/various services.

There is a rescue mission right downtown...but you are required to be sober (Breathalyzer at door) and they will make you participate in Christian based prayer to stay there. Hot meals and beds:

Sunshine Rescue Mission

This is a link to the Arizona Food Not Bombs network. It doesn't look like they currently have a feed in Flagstaff at the moment tho:

FNB - AZ

Good places to fly signs on the East Side near the Mall and Walmart....but you might have to compete with the homebums and scammers. Also, I-40 on ramps at Milton and Country Club are good for both flying and hitching.

To add on to the flying, I did pretty well at the defunct food mart across the street from the Safeway on Milton. I have observed that spot are only really good on Fridays and Saturdays.

NORTH COUNTY HEALTH CARE
This is a great place to get health care and many other related services. They work on a sliding scale with no money up front. I have a little income so last time I went to them I paid $22 for a exam and prescriptions and some other help including a blood test. I used them for over a decade when I lived in the forest in Flagstaff in my van every summer. They are kind and generous and very helpful. They have a variety of programs and assistance.

Ya, this is a good resource. I had a few friends helping out at that center. Here's the website:

And are these things walking distance from the Amtrak station if I arrive in town that way? I remember, Gallup's weren't, Then again, Gallup is a much smaller town.

Some, but most will require a bus ride. East flagstaff is walkable from downtown, but its at least a 2 miles walk.

The only soup kitchen that I know of is on the east side, only shelter, and most of the other things.

I wouldn't recommend the mission downtown, it's not really that helpful.

Wow, even picking up trash for minimum wage, job hard to get even in Arizona, eh? That does not bode well for the rest of the world. Phoenix is way too hot for human habitation.

OK everybody on the internet, just beausae some of us out here are looking at Squatting because no one will hire us doesn't mean we're still young enough to be physically able to do construction work!!! I'm getting sick and tired of the internet and even sometimes in-person people automatically going "construction work" whenever I say the job market sucks. I meant the job market for things like typing, data entry, database management, COMPUTER jobs. EDUCATED white-collar jobs! Some of us out here have two or three university degrees in math type fields, and are getting OLD and frail and have already had one STROKE already, sort of thing and FYI even when I WAS under-50 and couldn't get a job I still could never lift heavy objects or stand on my feet all day. Wow. What is with Americans' attitide toward what is the only thing they think constitutes "work" if you are borderline homeless or something like that?! The only way I could possibly work in "construction" is if they needed a COMPUTER GIRL because yes I can "work the computer" for computrer-aided drafting and design.

My reaction is because I know damn well that working for a construction company as the "CAD drafter" is NOT what you meant. And I'm so sick of hearing this one that yeah I'm going to lash out at any and everyone that says that sort of thing to me. Wow. I've got university degrees and computer skills coming out my ears and the next person who says "construction" to me had BETTER mean as the COMPUTER girl. Wow, people.

Wow i actually didn't say anything out of line at all. Just cuz you read it like i was sitting here wagging my finger doesn't mean I am. Most travelers are fairly able bodied and younger people who are busting their ass out on the highway for free so id say me just saying theres lots of construction work in Flagstaff is fairly relevant and useful but wtf do ik just trying to help not saying anyone is doing anything wrong for working with computers.
