New Affordable Housing Underway
Maricopa County is funding several affordable housing projects, including the 192-unit Salt River Flats, which broke ground in October near Broadway and 14th Street in Phoenix. The project is expected to be completed in March 2024 and will be available to those who earn 60 percent of the area median income ($42,660 for a family of 3).
“This project is so important. When I go out into the community, the number one issue that I’m hearing about is affordable housing,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman Bill Gates, District 3. “We know that rent has gone up over the past couple of years so this is going to be some excellent affordable housing for folks in a wonderful location.”

In 2021, the Board of Supervisors voted to allocate $15 million to combat domestic violence. Part of this money was used to fill the gap in resources created by the pandemic. Another part was used for a system change that allowed domestic violence survivors to access resources directly from their homes instead of only while living in a domestic violence shelter.
Those funds helped Vanessa Martinez rebuild her life after she was shot by the father of her children. Martinez was able to get rent, utility and appliance assistance with help from Maricopa County. So far, the $15 million of county funding has been used to help 32,000 families escape domestic abuse.
