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. They expanded from an advocacy organization to one that focuses on programs designed to help local residents identify and maintain safe, decent, and affordable housing. Programs include: transitional housing, low income housing, workforce housing and homeownership assistance.
2025 Grant Support: $110,000
Expedited and ACF Collaborative Grants: The Forest Highlands Foundation awarded Housing Solutions a $7,500 grant during the Expedited process and an additional $2,500 in the Collaborative process to support Sharon Manor – Empowering Survivors of Domestic Violence. Sharon Manor provides longer-term, supportive and affordable housing for survivors of domestic violence and/or sexual assault and their children experiencing homelessness.
Program Update: Since Sharon Manor opened in 1999, they have provided safety and trauma informed support to over 2000 domestic violence survivors experiencing homelessness.
Direct Grant: The Foundation awarded Housing Solutions $100,000 toward the purchase of the Western Hills Motel property. The property has been converted into 29 housing units, all of which will be rented to the local Flagstaff workforce, as it can serve households in the “missing middle,” those above 60% Area Median Income (AMI) who still struggle with high rental housing costs in Flagstaff. Program Update: Housing Solutions received a loan from OneAZ Credit Union, as well as the City of Flagstaff, who is giving them a no-payment, no-interest loan to help with the acquisition. They received a Certificate of Occupancy for the property in February 2026.
