Phoenix is expanding its new “XWing” housing model to help seniors out of homelessness.
Maricopa County and the city are funding $6.75 million for the Phoenix-based sustainable housing company Steel + Spark to build more of its innovative housing units out of shipping containers.
The Senior Bridge campus, at 2853 E. Van Buren Street just a couple blocks north of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, expects to provide 40 one-bed, one-bath units of transitional housing and 65 affordable apartments for low-income seniors — age 55 or older — at or below 30% of the area median income.
