Changing Lives
Chris
Chris* was a truck driver who lived in his cab as he criss-crossed the country. When he was let go from his job, Chris found himself homeless. He landed in Flagstaff, where he was able to obtain a new job. Unable to find affordable housing, he turned to Flagstaff Shelter Services for help. Chris worked with his Housing Case Manager to identify and secure an affordable apartment close enough to his job that he could bike to work. After moving in, he furnished the unit with items from our donation center and turned the apartment into a cozy home. Chris is grateful to have a place of his own and reliable income enabling him to remain stably housed. Stories like his are made possible, in part, by the support of the Forest Highlands Foundation, whose commitment to the community helps fund critical programs that provide housing, job assistance, and essential resources to those in need.
Flagstaff Shelter Services provides life-saving, life-changing services to 2,000 unduplicated individuals each year.
