A $100 million fund to address workforce housing needs at scale

The Home Matters Arizona Fund
A new, ultimately $100 million fund (debt and grants) leveraging government, philanthropy and national private investment.
By aligning the pooled grant fund with other public and private dollars and providing access to low interest debt, the Home Matters Arizona Fund intends to address housing needs at scale, adding critical housing units to a system that has left far too many unsheltered, while broadening the mindset of housing developers beyond the four walls of a home.
Projects Funded
The Home Matters Arizona Fund is investing in projects that serve individuals and families with low-to-moderate income, veterans, seniors, people who are homeless, people with disabilities, individuals involved in the justice system and those eligible for Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCS) support.
The Fund is prioritizing projects statewide that are located near healthy food retailers, employment centers, active transportation facilities and public transit, schools, childcare, senior centers, medical facilities, public libraries, parks, community centers and places of worship.
