PHX C.A.R.E.S. (Community, Action, Response, Engagement, Services) is a process that coordinates city resources to work with neighborhoods and individuals experiencing homelessness. PHX C.A.R.E.S. sends trained outreach teams, who take the time to build rapport and trust with individuals, to encourage them to accept services and resources that are offered to help end their homelessness. Any encampment reported in a city right-of-way is cleaned by unified city resources. Encampments on private property are the responsibility of the property owner to clear.
To report homeless encampments, use the online PHX C.A.R.E.S portal at phoenix.gov/myphx311 or contact 602-262-6251, Press 6.
