"Senior Bridge is being developed on a 1.7-acre site across the street from a Budget Motel, a few blocks north of Sky Harbor International Airport. It will use repurposed shipping containers to create 40 individual transitional units for unhoused people 55 and older, alongside around 65 permanent affordable apartments for seniors earning 30% or less than the area median income (AMI)."
"Everyone has a different story, says Mercy House program officer Timothy Huynh. Some have disabilities or a history of long-term homelessness, and need deeper interventions with ongoing support. Others are newer to homelessness and may be quick to engage with employment programs or just need a little time getting back on their feet."
"The integrated short-term/permanent housing project aims to create a continuum for both sets of residents, with comprehensive on-site support and individualized case workers available to all. Staff from Mercy House will assist in crisis intervention, benefits establishment, and connecting residents with healthcare resources."
