City of Phoenix Crisis Assistance
The City of Phoenix Community Services Program offers crisis screening, case management and potential eviction-prevention, move-in and emergency utility assistance through its family services centers. Applicants generally must live in Phoenix and document the crisis, household income and expenses. Call 602-534-2433 or use the city application portal to request assistance.
City of Phoenix Targeted One-Time Crisis Assistance
Phoenix’s Targeted One-Time Crisis Assistance helps qualifying households that completely lost SNAP food benefits on or after October 1, 2025 and have not had them reinstated. Eligible Phoenix residents or City of Phoenix water customers may receive limited utility-account and transportation support. This is not the city’s general emergency rent or utility assistance program.
