Flagstaff City Council is set to approve the distribution of about $590,000 of Community Development Block Grants to local agencies addressing housing needs during the coronavirus crisis.
Last week, city staff presented their own suggestions for how that money could be used, directing money to Flagstaff Shelter Services, Catholic Charities, and the Coconino County Health and Human Services department.
