Construction has begun on a Phoenix hotel being converted into low-income housing for the homeless. The housing will be temporary, and the residents will be provided case managers.
is using a $4 million grant from the city of Phoenix to renovate the building for 170 people 55 years and older, who otherwise, would be roaming the streets or stuck in overcrowded shelters.
"We've had individuals up to 93 years old staying with us in a congregate shelter," said Phillip Scharf, Chief Operating Officer of CASS. "So to see people the age of my grandparents, it's unbelievable to know they are staying in such an awful scenario."The converted hotel is being called "The Haven" and is set to have 40 rooms ready by this summer. The rest are expected to be done by next spring.
"Seniors to me are very important. My mom is a senior and I know if she wasn't living with me, she probably wouldn't be able to afford rent," Councilwoman Betty Guardado said.
