JoJo's Place
About
JoJo’s Place is transitional housing for households experiencing homelessness in Flagstaff. The apartment community consists of 44, furnished studios. JoJo’s Place helps homeless households to secure safe, decent and affordable housing, while accessing wrap-around support services to transition to permanent, stable housing.
Transitional housing is defined by the length of time a resident can stay in the program (a maximum of 24-months), and the wrap-around support services offered to help households gain resources and identify permanent housing. Housing Solutions of Northern Arizona has partnered with Catholic Charities Community Services to provide on-site housing case management services to residents, the Flagstaff Family Food Center to provide food resources to families, and The Guidance Center to provide mental health support services.
