A $100 million fund to spur more affordable housing for Arizona’s rapidly growing population of homeless and low-income residents launched this week with the help of Medicaid and other healthcare providers.
The Home Matters Arizona Fund already has drawn $37 million in grants and project financing to help developat leastsome of the nearly 200,000 affordable homes needed in the state.
The investment to help solve Arizona’s growing affordability problem is important, but what’s unique is that it’s not just about housing.
