considered under the umbrella of homeless assistance. Council approved the award on
May 11, 2023. Three centers, possibly a fourth, will operate through the end of
September and possibly a few weeks longer, depending on the weather. This is a
partnership with the Arizona Faith Network and Phoenix Rescue Mission.

$7.2 million to cover affordable housing funding gaps for an estimated additional 720
units.

a positive and constructive way of moving forward.

centers, run by the faith-based networks, will purchase the food and the City will reimburse the
centers.

Agreement. Mr. Hess said it was not in a formal contractual manner, however, Phoenix
Rescue Mission was a partner in the Master Services Agreement.
Committee-member Vargas asked if there was a process to secure the funds and if so, could
staff let other departments know how to secure funds as well. Mr. Hess explained these funds
were through the county and earmarked for specific services. Committee-member Vargas
asked how staff found funding opportunities and if other departments could follow suit. Mr.
Hess said the ARPA funds were one-time funds and explained how his department worked
with the county in regards to these funding opportunities.

the `Zone' in Phoenix. She said that the Mayor of Phoenix said she was going to reach out to
