The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors approved $17 million in funding for affordable housing projects, the county announced Monday, $6 million of which will go toward a new Glendale project.
Overall, the funding will add more than 600 new units to the region’s affordable housing stock. A hotel conversion will add 50 housing units, and new construction will add 368 units in the West Valley and 192 units in central Phoenix.
