One nonprofit has come up with a new way to combat homelessness and the high cost of housing in the Valley.
In what is believed to be the first of its kind locally, Family Promise of Greater Phoenix, which for 22 years has served a primary purpose of addressing housing insecurity, will construct a microdevelopment that features six residential units made out of brand-new 8’x40x10’ modified shipping containers structurally engineered for use as housing.
The community, called Container Village, will be located on the grounds of First Christian Church, at 6242 N. 59th Ave., in Glendale. The housing will occupy 18,000 square feet of undeveloped land behind the church building.
