Mental illness and substance abuse provide a doubly disabling path for yet one more personal tragedy: homelessness.
That is why Tempe’s selection for a prestigious U.S. housing award means a lot to those behind the efforts that led to the recognition.
The city’s participation in a regional effort to house 100 people experiencing homelessness has been recognized with a 2019 Award of Merit in Affordable Housing.
