The City of Phoenix and Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona are celebrating the dedication
of four new single-family homes in Sunny Slope. The dedication ceremony marked the completion
of new affordable homes built on city-owned vacant lots identified through the housing Phoenix Plan.
The homes include three bedrooms, a den that can serve as a fourth bedroom, and two and a half
bathrooms. Four families will be moving into their new homes in the coming week.
This project shows what we can accomplish when we work together to create more affordable housing
for Phoenix families. We are grateful for our partnership with Habitat for Humanity and the many
residents and volunteers who helped make these homes possible, said District 3 Councilwoman Debra Stark.
Todd Rogers, President and CEO of Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona, also reflected on the
longstanding collaboration in the neighborhood. This neighborhood has welcomed Habitat for humanity
for many years, and together we've been able to build more than a dozen new affordable homes in
Sunny Slope and completed more than 80 essential repairs for families in this neighborhood.
Through strong partnerships with local organizations, businesses, and faith groups,
we are making real progress and strengthening our neighborhoods.
In addition to the four new homes, Habitat is investing $200,000 in Sunny Slope through home repair
services that supplement the Neighborhood Services Department's neighborhood revitalization efforts.
Eight repairs have been completed, with four more underway.
helping families stay safely housed and addressing critical needs. This project supports the housing
Phoenix plan, HPP, adopted by the Phoenix Mayor and City Council in 2020, which aimed to create or
preserve 50,000 homes by 2030, a goal the city met five years early. A core strategy of the HPP is
redeveloping city-owned land to create more affordable options, and three of the four habitat for
humanity homes were built on parcels identified through that initiative. While earlier projects focused
largely on rental housing, these new homes are the first completed homeownership units produced
under the city-owned land effort, marking an important step in expanding affordable homeownership
opportunities in Phoenix. Residents interested in learning more about neighborhood revitalization
