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.

Community assistance team of Flagstaff

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.


Flagstaff Family Food Center: Food Boxes and Warehouse
3805 E Huntington Dr, Flagstaff, AZ 86004

Locate a few blocks away from Flagstaff shelter services inc. If you have a vehicle, you can pick up a Box of food. Tuesday through Saturday, 9 to 1.

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.

https://nacainc.org/

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.

If you don't have an income they won't charge you anything. They help everybody!
