What is the Arizona Veterans StandDown Alliance? We are AVSA.
The Arizona Veterans StandDown Alliance (AVSA) is a program of the Arizona Housing Coalition that holds annual events and resource fairs in 13 of Arizona’s 15 counties, including the nation's largest event of its kind, the annual Maricopa County StandDown. These events allow veterans and their families who are experiencing housing instability and homelessness to get and stay connected to supportive services.
