Purchase Order No. 2021-00000138 for the Gila House Affordable Housing Project

Background Information

The primary mission of the Gila County Community Services Department, Community Action Program (CAP), is to administer, promote and partner with local agencies, when possible, to help alleviate poverty. Due to the results of our needs assessment, our primary goal is to promote affordable housing. Arizona Department of Economic Security for Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) Discretionary Funding became available. CAP will collaborate with Gila House Inc., a local non-profit that aims to prevent homelessness, and assist victims of domestic violence, through temporary housing. Gila House, Inc., will be our partner with ownership of an affordable housing project.

Evaluation

The Gila County Community Services Department, CAP, will partner with Gila House, Inc. in order to proceed with an affordable housing project. CSBG Discretionary Funding for SFY 2021 in the amount of $160,000 has been provided to Gila House, Inc., through a partnership with CAP. Purchase Order No. 2021-00000138 in the amount of $144,000 is for an existing complex to be used for affordable housing.

Conclusion

If the Gila County Board of Supervisors approves Purchase Order No. 2021-00000138 in the amount of $144,000, the Gila County Community Services Department, CAP, will be an active partner with Gila House, Inc. and serve as a pass-through agency for these dollars.
