Fifty or more homes will be repaired after the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors this month approved allocating $1 million from the federal American Rescue Plan Act dollars.

With an average repair cost estimated at $20,000 per home, the funding is expected to assist at least 50 homeowners through March 2025, according to a county release.

“By working together with the Town of Guadalupe, we are making a lasting impact on the lives of all residents, including creating healthier and safer living environments for homeowners," Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Clint Hickman said.

Repairs could include roofing, plumbing, electrical, septic/sewer, HVAC, appliances, doors, and windows, adding ADA accommodations, resolving moisture issues, as well as addressing security, pests, hoarding, safety and sanitation issues, the release stated.

"We can’t simply build our way out of the affordable housing crisis,” Supervisor Steve Gallardo said.. “We also have to find innovative ways to keep people in the homes they have, and that’s exactly what this partnership with the Town of Guadalupe does.”

The Town of Guadalupe is contributing $200,000 to the program, bringing the project budget to $1.2 million, according to the release.
