What is the Family Unification Program?
The Family Unification Program (FUP) is a program under which Housing Choice Vouchers (HCVs) are provided for families engaged with the child welfare system and unaccompanied youth age 24 and younger who are aging out of or have aged out of the foster care system.
Eligibility restrictions do apply. The City of Tucson Public Housing Authority currently has immediate availability to enroll 75 eligible youth in the program which provides up to 36 months of rental assistance.
Join us on March 2 to learn more about eligibility requirements and the process for helping eligible youth receive FUP housing assistance.
We need 300+ volunteers to spread throughout Pima County. Volunteers will join a team to visit camps in washes and deserts, bus stops, meal sites, abandoned buildings, and other areas where people without housing may shelter on the morning of Wednesday, January 29, 2025. Learn More and register to volunteer
Operation Deep Freeze (ODF) is Tucson's winter severe-weather emergency shelter for people experiencing homelessness. ODF goes into effect when weather predictions are for overnight temperatures of 40°F or lower with rain, 35°F or lower without rain, or when wind chill factors indicate a health hazard from exposure. You do not need an ID or a TB card to participate in ODF.
