The Arizona Public
Housing Authority has oversight and monitoring
responsibilities for 114 subsidized properties,
representing over 7,900 units, throughout the state of
Arizona. The properties, which receive rental subsidies
through the Section 8 Program of the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development, offer affordable housing to
households that are at or below 50% of the area median
income. The subsidy or assistance stays with the
property—those families residing at a Project-Based
Assisted property may receive assistance as long as they
are eligible and reside at the property. The assistance
does not go with the family when they move. Families must
be eligible under Project-Based Rental Assistance
requirements. Applications are accepted at each site.

The
Arizona
Department of Housing combines Federal HOME resources from
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) with
state resources from the State Housing Trust Fund (HTF) into a
single housing program called the State Housing Fund. These
funds are made available for the development of affordable
permanent and transitional rental housing units. Applications
are accepted according to the schedule outlined in the Notice of
Funding Availability (NOFA). Competitive funding criteria are
utilized to make funding decisions. All financing is provided in
the form of a loan; in return the properties must comply with
long-term restrictions on rents charged and tenant incomes.
