Emergency shelter

Flagstaff Shelter Services is the largest emergency shelter in Northern Arizona. Our doors are open to all in crisis, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We provide overnight shelter for all individuals experiencing homelessness regardless of faith, sobriety, or mental health so long as they do not present an immediate threat of harm to our staff or clients.  

Thanks to the shelter expansion in 2019, our facility can provide shelter and services to 250 people on-site. 

Each client is assigned a case manager who will assist in finding a permanent housing solution. In the meantime, clients can get a hot shower, use the phone and internet, find clean clothes and rely on a safe place to spend the night. Our partnership with the Flagstaff Family Food Center allows us to provide each client with two full meals, as well as snacks and beverages, every day of the week. 

Healthcare services, counseling support, and resources for domestic violence, substance abuse, debt management and more are also included in our programming.

Between the hours of 9:00 am and 2:00 pm, the shelter serves as a resource center for anyone experiencing homelessness. All are welcome to make use of our facilities and services which include:

Our free health clinic is open four days a week. This is the only health care available to many of our clients. The clinic provides an opportunity for clients to consult with a registered nurse, nursing students and nursing professor from Arizona State University and Northern Arizona University in order to receive information, prescriptions, and treatment. This service deters clients from making costly and draining visits to the Emergency Room. We are pleased to host the North Country Health Care mobile bus weekly to assist in the medical needs of the men and women we serve.
