A proposed housing complex near Chandler Municipal Airport that would add nearly 300 affordable apartment units for seniors is on life support.
Why it matters: Arizona faces an extreme housing shortage, but attempts to build multifamily projects — especially affordable ones — often get pushback from surrounding neighborhoods.
The latest: The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Wednesday to postpone a planned vote on the project “indefinitely.”
- The land is on a county island and needed the board’s approval to move forward.
Catch up quick: In 2022, affordable housing developer Dominium first proposedbuilding 518 affordable apartments, with about one-third reserved for senior residents.
