CHOOSE THE MOMENT THAT FITS

Start with what is happening.

You do not need to know the program name. Choose the lane that feels closest, then pick a need.

FIRST, FIND YOUR STARTING POINT.

A meal, groceries or longer-term support?

Choose the kind of food help you need. A meal site, pantry and benefits application are separate routes.

Help buying groceries

Read how SNAP works and where to apply; an application is not immediate approval.

Before the first conversation

  • Ask whether the location serves your area and whether registration is needed.
  • Ask what you can do if you cannot travel or carry a food box.

You choose whom to contact. Each program decides eligibility and what it can offer.

Use Tab to select a location or the controls. When the map itself has focus, arrow keys move the view. The location list provides the same choices without using the map. Roads and boundaries are for orientation, not driving directions or eligibility.

Map sources & limits

Public program locations use the same dated coordinates as the PHX Good Valley map. Geography and roads: U.S. Census Bureau; parks and waterways: Census TIGER files. This map has no live traffic, turn-by-turn directions or appointment availability. Some jurisdictions and locations are not included.

Pins show published public locations. City outlines help you find your bearings; they are not eligibility or service-area boundaries.

A missing pin does not mean a missing service. These records use phone or online access, have no public mapped address, or keep their location private. A city selection does not filter this list by eligibility.

What this map tells you—and what it doesn’t

This is a growing collection, not every veteran service in Arizona. Locations are not eligibility boundaries. A map pin is not an open bed, a walk-in invitation or live availability. Phone and online routes matter just as much as physical locations.

Suggested first contacts are selected for their role in the process, followed by military-connected services and then community options, alphabetically. Each program decides who qualifies. Source checks are not provider confirmation; review the limits and call before travel.

Browsing does not change your guided-help answers. Save a program only when you want it in your plan.

Saving & privacy

Checking device…

This person’s answers stay in this tab until you close it or midnight in Arizona. “Start a new person” clears those answers. Your saved program list stays separate for up to 24 hours.

Names and free text are never saved. Age, gender, veteran and survivor answers clear when you reload. This information stays in your browser.

Sharing this device? Use without saving, or clear your list before leaving.

Edits do not extend these limits. Copies and downloads are separate.

LESS MAZE. MORE DIRECTION.

Same need. Different doors.

Knowing the difference can save a call in the wrong direction.

A place to stay

  1. No safe place tonight?

    Ask CRRC or the VA homeless-veteran line about assessment and referral. Neither promises a bed.

  2. At risk of losing housing?

    Ask an SSVF provider about screening. Income, household, veteran status and service-area rules apply.

  3. Need longer-term housing support?

    Transitional housing and HUD-VASH use different referral processes. A voucher is not a same-day shelter.

Benefits & service records

  1. Recently left active duty?

    Solid Start offers first-year transition navigation. Ask which benefits process fits; navigation does not approve a benefit.

  2. Start with accredited claims help

    ADVS benefits counselors can explain VA claims. Navigation and claims representation are different jobs.

  3. Missing your service records?

    Use the official records route. Ask the program what alternatives it accepts while records are pending.

  4. Have a discharge question?

    Read the official instructions and ask qualified help about your situation. A records request and a discharge upgrade are separate processes.

  5. Considering a pension or a home purchase?

    These are separate applications with their own requirements. Pension is not emergency cash; a home-loan COE is not lender approval.

Care & getting to an appointment

  1. American Indian or Alaska Native veteran?

    Read the specific VA copay-exemption process, accepted tribal documentation and excluded care charges. Enrollment and exemption review are separate steps.

  2. Video care blocked by a device or internet barrier?

    Ask your VA provider about a Digital Divide Consult. It reviews access options; it does not guarantee a device.

  3. VA care and Vet Centers differ

    Medical enrollment and readjustment counseling have separate eligibility. Start with the route that fits the need.

  4. Ask about care for your situation

    Women veterans and people seeking military sexual trauma care have specific navigation routes. Read the program’s access limits.

  5. Arrange the ride separately

    DAV rides, accessible VTS transport and travel reimbursement are different services. Confirm booking and access before travel.

Work, training & education

  1. Looking for work?

    Start with employment support; specialized veteran services have their own access rules.

  2. Choosing training or college?

    A campus veterans team and the GI Bill application serve different purposes. Ask what is needed before enrolling or paying.

  3. Need disability-related career support?

    Ask about Veteran Readiness and Employment. A disability rating alone does not establish every program requirement.

See these support optionsExplore community employment support

Families, caregivers & survivors

  1. Guard, Reserve or military family?

    Military OneSource and Arizona Guard family readiness can explain their support routes. Access varies by service status and program.

  2. Helping someone with care needs?

    Caregiver support and CHAMPVA have different purposes and requirements. Ask each program about the person you support.

  3. After a military loss

    Grief support and survivor-related benefits are separate routes. You can ask for emotional support without treating it as a benefit application.

A LITTLE PREPARATION GOES A LONG WAY

Make the next call count.

You don’t need the perfect words. Start with the need. Ask for the next step—and a backup if this route doesn’t fit.

Open your saved plan

Four questions to bring

  1. “I’m looking for help with ___. Is this the right place?”
  2. “Who qualifies, and what do you need from me?”
  3. “Do I call, apply online or come in—and when?”
  4. “If you can’t help, who should I try next?”

Bring only what the program requests. Don’t enter Social Security numbers, claim numbers or medical details in this page’s search.

Veteran support. The whole community behind it.

You can use general community resources too. A military-specific route is an option, not a requirement.
