What we can help with

You don’t have to figure all of this out alone.

Mental Health and Physical Care

Access to mental health support and resources, individual counseling, peer support, and primary care supports covered by the grant.

Benefits & Nutrition

Applying for Medicaid, SNAP, and SSI. Support and resources on replacing IDs and important documents.

Employment

Job readiness, employer connections, and reentry-friendly opportunities that don’t hold a record against you.

Housing

We help you search for housing and apply for the benefits that make it possible. We are not a housing placement program and do not have beds, but a coordinator helps you navigate your options.

Not sure what you need?

That’s the most common place to start. Tell a coordinator what’s going on and they’ll help you sort it out.

You’re not starting over alone.

One conversation is all it takes to get moving. A real coordinator listens to what you’re facing, then helps you line up benefits, work, health care, and help finding housing, one step at a time.

Who we help

This program is for Pima County residents who have a history of substance use at any point in their life. If you’ve been involved with the justice system, you’re welcome too, but it isn’t required.

Common concerns

We’ve heard these before. Here’s the honest answer.

“I can’t afford help right now.”

Our program support is free. It is grant funded through Pima County, and a coordinator will go over your options with you.

“I don’t have an ID or insurance.”

We start there. We provide support and resources on replacing IDs and important documents, and we help with Medicaid enrollment. You don’t need either one to reach out.

“Do I have to have been incarcerated to qualify?”

No. This program is for people in Pima County with a history of substance use. Justice involvement is common among the people we serve, but it is not required.

“I don’t want to end up in a system that reports me.”

We’re not law enforcement. We’re a healthcare and support organization. What you share with us is confidential under HIPAA and standard healthcare privacy rules.
