Resource Search Engines

CFSS has compiled a list of viable resources with community partners that staff members actively use. We are yet to find, locate, and organize every resource. There are search engines created that can narrow down the specific needs that a family, young person, or young adult might have. Some of these search engines have a downloadable app that can be accessed on your phone.

Additionally, participating Arizona Health Plans maintain list of resources and community programs that may be helpful in finding relevant resources.  Links to these community resource references are included below.

Arizona 2-1-1

Find Help Phoenix

Maricopa County Department of Public Health created FindHelpPhx.org and its Spanish partner site, EncuentraAyudaPhx.org, to give Maricopa County residents an easy way to find health and social services for themselves. The website is easy to use and available where there is internet access, including smartphones.

FindHelpPhoenix is divided into multiple categories of services. Users can look for medical services, legal help, and affordable housing, and many other services. The approximate 1,500 resources are free and almost free, checked for accuracy, and the information for each service is just what you need: location, a description of the service, cost, and a phone number/website link to make contact. Please email any non-profit resources that aren’t included in the site, as well as changes to information to: FindHelpPhx@mail.maricopa.gov

Foster Youth 411

On this website, we hope that you can find information and access to whatever you need including shelter, education/employment assistance, transportation, food, or even to just find ways to have fun without spending a lot of money.
