After several years of work, Flagstaff may be one step closer to the development of a 100% affordable housing development and parking garage downtown.
The project by the Foundation for Senior Living, which specializes in affordable housing projects across Arizona, is set to go before Flagstaff City Council early next year and ask for several exemptions from city code.
The project will take the place of the old Catholic elementary school and the historic Babbitt House, and is set to provide 146 affordable housing units to a city that declared a housing emergency just last year. Those units and associated parking will come in the form of two buildings, each four stories in height, that will largely take up the entirety of the block.
