Pima County, AZ – A Tucson-based nonprofit serving vulnerable populations across southern Arizona is preparing for a significant workforce reduction, with dozens of employees expected to lose their jobs in April.
According to a WARN notice filed this week, Catholic Community Services of Southern Arizona, Inc. plans to lay off 74 employees at its facility located at 268 W. Adams St. in Tucson. The layoffs are scheduled to begin this month and will affect a range of positions tied to the organization’s regional operations.
Catholic Community Services has long provided critical support throughout Pima County, including refugee resettlement programs, housing assistance, and family support services. The organization’s work has made it a key provider for underserved and immigrant communities across Tucson and surrounding areas.
While the WARN filing confirms the number of employees affected, officials have not publicly detailed the exact cause of the layoffs. Similar workforce reductions are often linked to shifts in federal or state funding, changes in program demand, or internal restructuring efforts.
The impact of the layoffs is expected to be felt across Pima County, not only by employees but also by residents who rely on the nonprofit’s services. It remains unclear whether certain programs will be reduced, consolidated, or eliminated as a result of the staffing changes.
Local workforce agencies may step in to assist displaced workers with job placement and support services as the layoffs take effect. Additional details regarding the transition and potential service impacts may be released in the coming weeks.
Community leaders are expected to monitor the situation closely as Tucson navigates the broader implications of the job losses.
