مدينة توسون تدعو إلى تقديم مدخلات وتعليقات عامة حول خطة الاستثمار في الأشخاص والمجتمعات والمنازل (P-CHIP)
A draft of the City of Tucson’s Department of Housing and Community Development’s (HCD) “People, Communities, and Homes Investment Plan,” or P-CHIP, has been released and HCD is seeking input from the Tucson community. This is the second edition of P-CHIP, and it will serve as a guiding document for HCD’s strategic five-year priorities and goals, as well as providing the framework for HCD’s community grantmaking activities.
The City of Tucson has advanced many of the priorities identified in the first P-CHIP prepared in 2020, for example:
- Establishing the Housing First program, providing street outreach, emergency shelter, and supportive housing solutions that have reached more than 1,000 Tucsonans annually.
- Opening the Housing Choice Voucher program waitlist, which provided new opportunities for low-income Tucsonans to obtain much-needed rental subsidies.
- Launching a non-profit development arm called El Pueblo Housing Development, which now has more than 1,200 units of affordable housing in the development pipeline.
The draft P-CHIP plan articulates HCD’s approach to addressing these challenges through the HCD’s direct work, community grantmaking, and collaboration with other City departments, neighboring jurisdictions, community-based organizations, and the Tucson community. A critical step towards equitable opportunity is providing safe, quality, affordable homes. Additionally, this path encompasses more than just housing – it extends to the essential services that people need to thrive and live in our communities that support us collectively.
