Rehoboth Place II, a new collection of affordable housing, will be held a grand opening event Tuesday, aiming to address the housing crisis in Phoenix—opening in the Canyon Corridor near 27th Ave. and Camelback, one of the most multicultural diverse areas in the Valley.
Rehoboth Phase I with 47 units, which opened 13 years ago, and now Phase II with 66 units, not only provides safe, affordable housing for families, seniors, and veterans, it also provides a sense of community as staff and volunteers run after-school programs for kids, senior activities for residents, and financial and home ownership classes in their community space, youth room and courtyards. They also provide after-school meals, and offer free, basic tax help with an army of volunteers.
When registration for Phase II opened in January, 200 people joined a waiting list online, hoping to qualify. Qualifying is based on income, accepting Housing Choice Section 8 Vouchers. Most of the space is rented out, but single units and other possibilities are still available.
