Phoenix Scholar House, a first-of-its-kind affordable housing community that combines housing with workforce development and is specifically tailored for single parents pursuing higher education, broke ground in November at 2950 North 18th Place in Phoenix. It will feature 56 apartment units, offering residents access to educational resources and career support. This project from Save the Family Foundation of Arizona and Brinshore Development represents an innovative model that goes beyond housing by empowering residents with the skills and credentials necessary to enter the workforce and secure employment — breaking the cycle of generational poverty. The Scholar House concept, proven successful in other cities, is being introduced in Arizona for the first time, setting a new standard for affordable housing projects.
