The Housing Authority of
Maricopa County (HAMC) does not provide emergency housing.
All applicants must meet federal income and
eligibility requirements, and then be put on a
waiting list. Because of the great demand for this
service, it may take several months or even years
before assistance can be provided.
The following organizations provide a variety of
services in the Phoenix Metropolitan area, including
emergency shelter for the homeless. Two referral
service hotline numbers are also listed. These

the different types of both private and public
assistance available throughout Maricopa County. |
