With 30-32% of residents transitioning to permanent housing or recovery programs, the facility is a vital bridge for those experiencing homelessness. As its current permit expires this October, the city has applied for an extension, set for review by the planning commission on August 6th. Operating at a cost of $4.8 million annually, officials aim to not only sustain but expand services to tackle Phoenix’s homelessness crisis head-on.
