Avondale Affordable Housing

Groundbreaking Marks Construction of Affordable Housing Collaboration

Construction is now underway on a project that will bring new affordable homes to the West Valley for low to moderate income homebuyers. The collaborative project between the City of Avondale, Maricopa County, H&B Builders, Architectural Resource Team, and the community housing development organization Trellis, will bring three new homes to vacant lots located at the northwest corner of Elwood Street and El Mirage Road.

The new homes will be sold to low to moderate income buyers. For a family of four to qualify, the maximum income is $63,200 per year. As part of the program, prospective homebuyers will receive homebuyer counseling through Trellis and qualified first-time buyers may receive down payment assistance. To ensure that the homes remain affordable to the buyers for the long term, the homes have been designed with energy efficiency in mind.

“Avondale is a community that seeks to provide a wide range of housing options for our residents. This includes workforce housing to meet the needs of our young families. We are pleased to partner with Maricopa County and Trellis on this project,” said Avondale Mayor Kenn Weise.

To support its goal of providing affordable housing options throughout the county, the Maricopa County Human Services Department partnered with the City of Avondale to provide $445,000 of U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development HOME Investment Partnerships Program funding to support Trellis with the design by the Architectural Resource Team and construction of the project by H & B Builders.
