Information and Community Support

Resources

This page is intended to help visitors identify categories of support related to housing, homelessness, safety, mental health, domestic violence, youth, families, veterans, food, benefits, legal needs, employment, education, and accessibility.

Firebird does not guarantee the availability, eligibility requirements, accuracy, accessibility, funding, quality, or response time of any outside resource.

Services vary by location. Confirm current eligibility, hours, availability, confidentiality, cost, documentation requirements, and safety procedures directly with the provider.

About This Resource Hub

A starting point—not a complete directory

Community services change frequently. Programs may close, relocate, lose funding, change eligibility, create waitlists, or stop accepting new participants.

Firebird intends to organize helpful categories and guidance while avoiding claims that this page lists every available resource or guarantees that a provider can help.

Emergency and Crisis Guidance

Do not wait for a Firebird email response during an emergency

Firebird’s website and email addresses are not emergency services and are not monitored continuously.

When someone faces an immediate threat to life, serious injury, active violence, medical emergency, fire, or another urgent danger, contact the appropriate emergency service available in that location.

For urgent domestic violence, suicide, mental-health, child-safety, trafficking, sexual assault, veteran, or housing crises, use a currently operating local or national crisis provider appropriate to the situation.

  • Firebird does not currently provide emergency shelter.
  • Firebird does not currently operate a crisis hotline.
  • Firebird does not currently accept urgent placement requests.
  • Firebird email should not be used for emergency safety planning.
Housing and Homelessness

Finding shelter, housing assistance, and prevention support

Housing services are usually organized locally. Availability, referral requirements, eligibility, and waitlists can differ by city, county, state, funding source, household type, and program.

Coordinated Entry

Coordinated-entry systems may assess housing needs and connect eligible households with participating homelessness programs.

Ask whether the system serves adults, youth, families, veterans, couples, or survivors and whether appointments are required.

Emergency Shelter

Local shelters may offer overnight accommodation, meals, hygiene access, case management, transportation support, or referrals.

Confirm check-in time, identification requirements, household eligibility, accessibility, storage rules, pet policies, and available beds.

Street Outreach

Outreach teams may meet people outside, provide basic supplies, conduct assessments, support identification recovery, and connect people with services.

Housing Navigation

Housing navigators may assist with applications, landlord communication, documentation, housing searches, inspections, deposits, and move-in planning.

Eviction Prevention

Prevention programs may offer rental assistance, mediation, legal help, utility support, budgeting, or landlord negotiation.

Apply as early as possible because funding may be limited and documentation may take time.

Rapid Rehousing and Supportive Housing

These programs may provide rental assistance and services for eligible households, but enrollment often requires assessment and available funding.

Domestic Violence and Survivor Support

Confidential, survivor-centered services may require specialized contact

Domestic violence providers may protect shelter locations and participant information. Use a safe device and communication method whenever possible.

Confidential Shelter

Survivor shelters may have restricted locations and specialized intake procedures. Do not publish or share a confidential address.

Legal Advocacy

Services may include information about protective orders, custody, housing rights, immigration remedies, victim compensation, and court accompaniment.

Technology Safety

A shared phone, browser history, cloud account, vehicle system, or location service may reveal activity. A specialized advocate can help evaluate safer technology use.

Veteran Housing Programs

Programs may offer homelessness prevention, rapid rehousing, rental assistance, transitional housing, or permanent supportive housing.

Peer Support

Veteran peer specialists may help people navigate systems, build trust, and connect with culturally informed services.

Mental Health and Recovery

Crisis, counseling, treatment, and recovery resources

Mental-health and substance-use services vary in cost, insurance participation, confidentiality, treatment model, location, and availability.

Crisis Assessment

Mobile crisis teams, crisis centers, emergency departments, and behavioral-health providers may assess immediate risks and recommend next steps.

Outpatient Counseling

Community clinics may provide individual, family, group, trauma, grief, or psychiatric services.

Substance-Use Treatment

Options may include withdrawal management, residential treatment, outpatient care, medications, peer support, and recovery housing.
