Plan for Surprise $16.7M affordable housing project gets county’s approval
Arizona Republic
Surprise is getting 45 more units of affordable housing after Maricopa County supervisors OK’d the project and funding for it at its Feb. 28 meeting. The board approved $6 million in funding from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development’s HOME Investment Partnership Program and nearly $10.6 million in American Rescue Plan Act dollars for The Flats at El Mirage. The developer, El Mirage Housing, also is asking for $4 million from the Arizona Department of Housing to fund development costs and additional supportive services for onsite services for families in 13 of the units designated as short-term housing for those experiencing homelessness.
