The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has approved more than $4.2 million in funding for the cities of Avondale and Surprise to construct shelter to aid people experiencing homelessness. The projects are funded by Maricopa County’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allocation.

"This funding will turn into physical buildings that will help hundreds of people each year. We know many of our neighbors are struggling with the cost of living, which is why we have committed more than half a billion in solutions to address affordable housing and homelessness in Maricopa County.”

Happy Tails
“After a long journey, Bruno has definitely found his forever home. He loves playing with his two brothers, Moose and Bronco. He is even learning to go through the doggy door as a tripod! He just needs extra encouragement. The vet says he is healthy and well. He loves to go on walks with his brothers and wrestle with them. He is definitely getting more acclimated here so we see more of his personality come out every day. He is such a good and affectionate boy! Thank you for taking care of Bruno while he was in your care. Sincerely, The Pietrzykowsky Family”
