PHOENIX — The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors agreed on Wednesday to provide an additional $796,326 to an affordable housing project in Avondale.
With the additional funds coming from a community land trust, investments in the Avondale project have now surpassed $3 million.
“As living expenses increase and households are forced to juggle more financial responsibilities, I have seen some families lose hope that they’ll ever be able to become homeowners,” District 4 Supervisor Clint Hickman said. “I am proud of this board’s commitment to investing in affordable housing projects that can keep families’ hopes alive and break down the barriers that aspiring homeowners in the West Valley face.”
