Fire
1.
 Fire Emergency Medical Services and Hazardous Incident Response
$2,021,000
Add funding for twenty-four sworn positions (four Fire Captains, four Fire 
Engineers, and sixteen Firefighters) to provide dedicated staffing for the new Fire 
Station 74, located at 19th Avenue and Chandler Boulevard. The Fire Department 
intends to hire personnel to staff this fire station beginning January 2024. The full-
year ongoing cost will be $3,796,000.
24.0
Status Update: All 24 firefighter positions are filled and trained, allowing the 
placement of Engine 74 and Rescue 74 into service at temporary locations 
until the opening of Fire Station 74. This has improved overall service 
delivery to the growing community in west Ahwatukee.
2.
 Fire Emergency Medical Services and Hazardous Incident Response
$1,355,000
Add funding for seven new sworn positions (Firefighters) and one new vehicle 
(ambulance) to provide dedicated staffing and apparatus for one new Rescue 
unit. These positions and equipment will significantly improve service delivery 
citywide. The full-year ongoing cost, excluding initial vehicle purchases, will be 
$1,049,000.

for a new rescue company to go into service, which will have an impact on 
reducing response times and will help improve overall service delivery to 
the community.

Human Services
1.
 Client Services
$500,000
Add funding to compensate for the loss of Low Income Home Energy Assistance 
Program (LIHEAP) funding from the Arizona Department of Economic Security 
(DES). Administrative changes in the DES funding process have resulted in a loss 
of revenue to the City's program. The anticipated reduction will negatively impact 
the City's ability to adequately staff the LIHEAP program, resulting in reduced 
levels of service to residents qualifying for home energy assistance. This addition 
helps ensure continued service.
0.0
Status Update: This funding was designed to replace anticipated lost 
funding from DES. Unexpectedly, DES provided temporary funds for 
navigation support, in place of LIHEAP administrative support. The 
additional DES funds supported the program for the first part of FY 2023-24. 
In March 2024, the department began to spend the supplemental funding, 
which continues to support LIHEAP activities.  
2.
 Victim Advocacy Services
$450,000
Add funding to offset expiring Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) grant funding. These 
funds will enhance the department's ability to provide domestic violence and 
sexual assault referrals, reducing caseloads, preventing case backlogs, and 
maintaining adequate response times.
0.0
Status Update: This funding was designed to replace anticipated lost 
funding from the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), based on its 
communication of a 50% reduction of funding levels for FY 2023-24. 
However, the State of Arizona used American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) 
funds to make up for the shortfall. As a result, no supplemental funds have 
been spent to date. For FY 2024-25, OVC is again communicating a potential 
50% reduction in funding, which would result in the need to utilize the 
funding approved in this supplemental.
3.
 Homeless Outreach Services
$600,000
Add funding to expand the department's Behavioral Health Engagement Teams 
(BET) contract. BET teams provide outreach to specific and targeted areas of the 
city that are experiencing high instances of substance abuse and behavioral 
health issues, which may contribute to people experiencing homelessness. 
0.0
Status Update: The BET contract is in place and has more than 100 
engagements with people experiencing homelessness. While positive exits 
are challenging with these encounters, the team has been able to achieve 42 
positive exits, including shelter, detox, and permanent housing. To date, 
more than 2,000 services have been delivered. Services include case 
management, obtaining identification or securing forms, transportation, and 
benefits assistance. The additional resources for this contract support 
positive outcomes and increased community engagement for people with 
mental health needs and substance use disorder.

 Homeless Community Engagement
$600,000

The expansion will dedicate teams to hot spots throughout the city where there 
are high concentrations of encampments. The teams will provide outreach from 5 
a.m. to 11 p.m., seven days per week, with the goal of reducing people 
experiencing homelessness. 
0.0
Status Update: This contract has served more than 500 individuals with 
mental health needs, substance use disorders, and chronic health 
conditions. A total of 202 individuals were exited to shelter, two were exited 
to transitional housing programs, 10 were exited to live with family or 
friends, and 68 exited to substance use treatment or detox. 255 individuals 
engaged through this contract are identified as chronically homeless. The 
additional funding for this contract supports positive outcomes and 
increased engagement with high need populations. 
5.
 Homeless Emergency Services
$5,200,000
Add funding needed to continue emergency services for shelter operations 
throughout the city serving individuals experiencing unsheltered homelessness. 
The City is developing a new shelter that will house up to 280 individuals per night 
at 3000 S. 22nd Ave, which will be operated by a nonprofit shelter and wrap 
around service provider. Additionally, the City and Maricopa County are co-
funding Community Bridges Inc.’s (CBI) acquisition of a hotel to be converted into 
an emergency shelter called Rio Fresco Healing Center. Although the acquisition 
is not finalized, the rooms at the hotel are currently being rented by CBI, serving 
140 individuals per night at that location. Together the two shelters supported with 
this funding will serve up to 420 individuals per night and approximately 1,260 
individuals per year. While operational funding for both locations is being sought 
through additional federal, state, county, and private sources, this funding will 
facilitate operations through June 2024.
0.0
Status Update: The original project planned for this funding was not viable, 
so funds were used for a temporary shelter while a new site for a City 
shelter was identified. A contract with A New Leaf was executed on October 
1, 2023 for emergency shelter services via temporary lodging. This 
temporary lodging site provides 100 non-congregate beds and accepted its 
first residents on October 18, 2023. The funding will continue to support 
City shelter efforts in the future.
6.
 Head Start Birth to Five
$250,000
Add funding to support the Phoenix Day Early Childhood Education Center 
(PDECEC). This one-time allocation will allow the PDECEC to retain and expand 
teaching staff and training to increase enrollment to a sustainable level. Impacts 
from COVID resulted in a $1 million deficit in funding. A New Leaf has developed 
a plan to increase enrollment and is on track to reach sustainability by 2024.
0.0
Status Update: This one-time funding allowed PDECEC to continue to 
increase student enrollment and hire teachers to meet their 2024 financial 
sustainability goals. The funding specifically supported three lead teachers, 
an enrollment coordinator, and a compliance manager.
