HOUSING SOLUTIONS OF NORTHERN ARIZONA
Housing Solutions of Northern Arizona is a nonprofit housing organization, founded as the Affordable Housing Coalition in 1990 through the grassroots efforts of local citizens concerned about the lack of affordable housing in the Flagstaff community. Housing Solutions expanded from an advocacy organization to one that focuses on programs designed to help local residents identify and maintain safe, decent, and affordable housing.
In 2022, Housing Solutions accomplished the following:
- Administered $154,000 in financial assistance to 11 households, enabling them to purchase a first home.
- Our 25 affordable rentals benefit low-income households and are home to 42 adults & 42 children.
- 145 households received pre-purchase & credit counseling.
- 99 individuals (40 adults and 59 children) found safety, support, and healing resources at Sharon Manor.
- 25 households received foreclosure & mortgage re-modification assistance.
Fifty percent of all undesignated contributions to the quarter’s Sunday service offerings will be presented to Housing Solutions of Northern Arizona. Nominations for 501c3 agencies can be made through a form located in the CAC folder in the office or by contacting a CAC member (Susan Patrick, Katy Grant, Lynda L. Dorweiler).
