Program
Workforce Training Facility and Training Program
Funds will procure a facility to be used to create workforce training programs to 
assist the huge service sector job loss that occurred in this area of the City.
The corridor where this facility is located is consistently a source of violent crime, 
prostitution, drug use, trespassing, blight and other quality of life concerns. The ease 
of access to this area, along with challenging hotels, motels and apartment 
complexes, have created an area where crime can flourish with few impediments. 
These challenges were exacerbated by the pandemic as this segment of the 
community was hit much harder than others due to density, distrust of government, 
and loss of service sector jobs that are the primary source of employment in the 
area. This area is also in Qualified Census Tracts. Utilizing the building for workforce 
programs will improve the safety and quality of this neighborhood and bring 
pandemic- and downturn-resistant employment training to the community. 
Workforce Wraparound Tuition/Apprentice Program
For this program, $8.5 million will be used to offer free training and education to 
residents who have been impacted by the pandemic in the hardest hit industries of 
hospitality, food service, retail, and families with young children. The program will 
offer short-term and long-term training in fields, such as bioscience, healthcare, 
construction, IT, and more (industries negatively impacted by the pandemic). 
Participants enrolled in training will receive monthly financial assistance to help with 
emergency expenses such as transportation and childcare. Additionally, $1.5 million 
will be used to partner with a community-based organization to expand workforce 
services with a focus on families with young children. The organization will target 
families not enrolled at a Maricopa Community College. 
There is strong evidence that vocational training can help dislocated workers regain 
employment. As such, participants will self-attest as part of their application their 
negative economic COVID-19 impact, such as job and income loss. Supportive 
services are also recommended in programs like this and participants will receive 
support to limit barriers to accessing training and employment. 
Micro and Small Business Assistance Program
Based on lessons learned from the CRF program, the micro and small business 
programs were combined. Award amounts range from $3K to 15k and are based on 
the applicant's number of employees. Funds assist businesses that have been 
impacted by COVID-19 and/or are located in Qualified Census Tracts. Many 
businesses struggled to stay open due to the pandemic and these resources allowed 
businesses to stay open, pay employees, and cover operational costs due to the 
downturn in business. All eligible businesses completed an online application 
process to demonstrate need.

This program enables the City to contract artists to develop temporary projects, 
installations, and performances. These commissions would reactivate a wide range 
of public spaces, including parks, trails, community centers, and neighborhood areas 
not usually defined or programmed as cultural spaces. Four mural projects have 
been created in various parts of the city to date. The Office of Arts and Culture has 
devised a program plan for the remainder of funds, including artist project grants, an 
artist roster, and artist residencies.

backgrounds to gain experience, understanding, and transferable skills relevant to 
careers in and out of the arts, the creative economy, and engagement in public life. 
The program launched the first round in April 2022, and 23 organizations were 
awarded funds to hire student workers after July 1. The second round will launch in 
spring 2023.

U.S. Vets and Veteran Relief 
The City has contracted $9 million with Mercy Care to provide outreach, behavioral 
health, substance abuse, physical health, and transportation services to residents. 
This will include screening for Medicaid (AHCCCS) eligibility and assistance in 
applying. Additionally, City Council approved $1.5 million to provide services to those 
experiencing homelessness along the Salt River Project (SRP) canals and other 
areas throughout the City. This includes increased services for individuals in these 
areas as well as pilot project to train and pay individuals experiencing homelessness 
to conduct beautification projects and landscaping duties (Phoenix Rescue Mission). 
The pandemic exacerbated the national crises of individuals suffering from mental 
health disorders and homelessness. Social services were limited in 2020 and the 
economic consequences of the pandemic have put more Americans at the risk of 
entering homelessness. Several studies claim anxiety and depression and 
substance abuse worsened for individuals and were negatively impacted by the gap 
in care. This program strives to increase access to services for disproportionately 
impacted groups. 
Personnel/Technical Assistance 
Funds allow for continued technical assistance and professional development in 
financial sustainability, business practices, and reopening strategies. The Office of 
Arts and Culture has conducted several workshops for the field, offered scholarships 
to the statewide nonprofit alliance conference, and contracted with consultants to 
conduct a comprehensive asset mapping of neighborhoods in Phoenix that have 
received limited arts support from the City. An overarching goal of the Office of Arts 
and Culture is "to identify and eliminate barriers that have prevented marginalized 
groups' full participation from the agency's programs and to strengthen equity, 
diversity, and inclusion in the arts and culture sector for all Phoenix residents," the 
results from asset mapping the community will clarify what strengths to build from 
and what challenges exist in developing and growing arts programming for 
community members.
Mitigation and Care for Vulnerable Populations
Homelessness and Mental Health
Edison Impact Hub
Funds will be used to retrofit the historic children’s hospital from a vacant, dilapidated 
building to a community services center that will provide medical offices and other 
services to the community.
Funds will provide relief for Veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness during 
the pandemic. Many of our vets are more vulnerable to COVID-19 due to living 
conditions, age, and chronic health complications. funds could also provide 
additional operational support needed by the US Vets Organization to transition into 
the property purchased earlier this year with COVID Relief Funds.

Funds will be used to support nonprofit agencies serving the refugee and asylee 
community. 
Families enter the United States with little to no resources and need assistance 
navigating their new community. The pandemic exacerbated this need as social 
services were limited in 2020. The goals of the program are to assist residents who 
were disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 with services to find employment, 
temporary housing, and resources for medical care. 
Financial Assistance for Phoenix Refugee and Asylee Community
Summer Heat Respite
A sprung structure was constructed to provide a place of respite during the summer 
for individuals experiencing homelessness. The sprung structure has been 
completed and provides guests with a place to socially distance due to COVID-19 
and include meals, outreach, and other supports. It has evolved from a summer 
respite to a space where individuals homelessness can properly social distance and 
receive case management services. Funds were also used to provide temporary 
shade structures in the summer of 2021. 
The pandemic exacerbated the national crises of individuals suffering from 
homelessness. Social services and safe, open spaces were limited in 2020 and the 
economic consequences of the pandemic have put more Americans at the risk of 
entering homelessness. This structure will increase access to services for 
disproportionately impacted groups such as those experiencing homelessness as 
they will be able to find respite in times of extreme heat and make contact with social 
service agencies. 
# of individuals who used 2021 temporary shade structures - 13,426
The City has contracted with Justa Center to provide COVID-19 supportive services 
for seniors experiencing homelessness. Funds will expand outreach and 
engagement services, non-urgent facility-based care and housing supportive 
services such as move-in kits, classes on independent living, weekly check-in visits 
from a social worker, assistance with scheduling health care appointments, and 
transportation to health care appointments if needed.

Area Agency on Aging's Goods2Home
Funds continue to support the Area of Agency on Aging’s Goods2HOME program 
which the City supported with CARES Act funds in 2020. This program delivers 
critical medication, sanitation, and nutrition supplies to low-income, disabled, and 
homebound seniors. 
Memory Café Program
Funds expand the City’s Memory Café program for senior center members and their 
caregivers. Memory Cafes stimulate participants through music therapy, art and

Bus Stop Shelters
This program is providing 1,000 families with children a $1,000 per month financial 
assistance grant for 12 months. Eligible households include Emergency Rental 
Assistance applicants, residents of City-owned public housing properties, and 
Section 8 voucher holders. Selection occurred via a lottery system. 
Many households experienced a loss of income or a job loss as a result of the 
COVID-19 pandemic. This program's objective is to provide monthly assistance to 
help families stay in their homes, maintain current employment, and provide 
childcare assistance. All families experienced a negative economic impact as a 
result of the pandemic as they previously qualified for emergency rental assistance, 
reside in public housing, or receive a Section 8 voucher. 
Households and Residential Assistance
The goal of this summer program was to provide a 40-foot bus at the Human 
Services Campus where individuals experiencing homelessness are located to 
prevent heat-related illnesses and deaths among vulnerable populations. The 
program ran from July 2021 to September 2021. Total number of individuals on the 
bus was tracked by the hour each day. These numbers may have been duplicated 
throughout the day. 
# of passenger visits - 12,830
Family Assistance Resource Program 
As part of the T2050 plan, the Public Transit Department has a goal of installing 80 
new bus shelters per year. This additional funds will increase this goal to 100 
shelters per year over the next two years. Bus shelters play a role in improving 
neighborhood livability and sustainability. Bus shelters will be placed in locations 
currently without shade and provide heat relief to transit users who reside in 
Qualified Census Tracts. This contract begins July 1, 2022.

The department will utilize $4 million to allocate funds to provide vouchers to airport 
employees for use at childcare facilities. There is a current assessment of the 
Aviation Annex at 3430 E. Sky Harbor Blvd in Terminal 3 to review if it is a potential 
site for a childcare facility. Based on the assessment, up to $1 million will be used in 
facility upgrades. 
Airport employees struggling to pay for childcare services will receive a scholarship 
to use at a local childcare facility. Applicants will need to meet the household income 
criteria to be considered eligible. Many families struggled to balance both 
employment and childcare needs during the pandemic and this program aims to 
increase access to child care, increase stability of care, and increase employment 
retainment for applicants. 
Bus Card Subsidy Program
This program has three parts: $4 million to serve Phoenix households unable to 
meet the Emergency Rental Assistance program (ERA) federal criteria, $5 million to 
initiate the Deferred Payment Arrangement Recovery Program, and $1 million for the 
Landlord Incentive Program. 
One key finding from the City’s ERA Program is that many Phoenix households 
above the 80% AMI threshold were also in need of rental and utility assistance as 
they experienced a COVID-19 impact, such as loss of employment or loss of 
income. Because of the increased demand from this unserved population, the City 
determined it would expand the eligibility threshold between 80%-120% AMI and 
allow for self-attestation to a negative economic COVID-19 impact. Serving Phoenix 
residents who make less than 50% AMI still remains a priority within the ERA 
Program.
The Deferred Payment Arrangement Program is serving low-income residents who 
are unable to pay their City Service bill, which includes both the water and solid 
waste utility. Residents are self-attesting to a negative economic COVID-19 impact 
to receive services. Lastly, the Landlord Incentive Program is provide housing 
incentives to landlords to accept Section 8 Vouchers from residents. The COVID-19 
pandemic made it more difficult for households to achieve housing stability as many 
faced the prospects of homelessness. This program aims to increase housing 
stability by providing affordable units to residents.

Funds provide subsidies and fare assistance to residents that rely on public 
transportation. Various nonprofits have been provided a number of passes to provide 
to low-income families in need at a number of locations throughout the City. Passes 
are providing access to employment, child care, medical services, grocery stores, 
and more. 
# of monthly (31-day) passes distributed - 20,291 (of 31,250)

Funds will provide access to internet connectivity in community centers and public 
housing properties to bridge the digital divide that impacted communities during 
pandemic. The goal of the programs are to increase access to care and mental 
health services, increase financial stability and health outcomes, and improve well-
being and increase social connectedness. Several community centers in Qualified 
Census Tract lack Wi-Fi connections for the public and are unavailable to be used 
by the public. Additional, public housing tenants lack access to reliable Wi-Fi and this 
program seeks to increase this access to achieve the stated outcomes. 
StartupPHX @ Burton Barr
Funds will be available for school districts and charter schools who commit to 
providing free or affordable after-school programs in-line with the Phoenix After-
School Center (PAC) program. Schools are located in Qualified Census Tracts and 
will assist students who have experienced negative economic impacts as a result of 
the pandemic. The goal of the program is to increase access to school services and 
child care services for families.
Wi-Fi Connectivity for Community Centers and Public Housing Properties
Funds will be used to create a program to increase access to early childhood 
education for 300 preschool children, ages four to five. The proposed program would 
mirror performance standards, quality control, and curriculum of the Head Start 
Program while allowing eligible families to be at 200% of poverty level rather than the 
Head Start mandated 100% of poverty level.
After-School Grant for Phoenix Schools
Funds will be used to continue building the community wireless network project that 
was initially approved by City Council using the Coronavirus Relief Fund. The project 
is a partnership between the City, Phoenix Union High School District, and others. 
The goal of the program is to increase academic achievement and instruction for 
families residing in the wireless network neighborhoods, which are neighborhoods in 
Qualified Census Tracts. Families in this area of the City experienced negative 
economic and educational COVID-19 impacts. The lack of access to reliable internet 
widened the learning gap for students and made it more difficult for families to 
access services, such as school instruction, employment, social services, and more. 
Early Childhood Education Expansion
Citywide Wireless Network Project and Partnership with Phoenix Union
Youth Sports, Recreation, Education, and After-School 
Funds will be used to provide a broader range of services to the community by 
expanding the Hive @ Central. The expansion would include the addition of two 
meeting rooms, a graphics station, and technical assistance for small business 
owners. For programming, funds would be used to contract with a vendor to provide 
the Business Roadmap and MAPA Para Us Negocio series for teens and adults. The 
contracted vendor would be responsible for curriculum development and facilitating 
all sessions in English and Spanish.

Funds will be used to expand PAC programming to 10 additional sites. This 
affordable after- school recreation and enrichment program provides youth ages six 
to 13 a fun, supportive, and educational atmosphere during crucial afterschool hours. 
The expansion of PAC programming is occurring in schools in Qualified Census 
Tracts. These school serve low-income families and offering after-school program 
options will help families retain/find employment and provide an option for child care. 
Funds will be used to expand the PHXWorks space on the second floor of the 
Burton Barr Central Library. PHXWorks supports residents in their job searches, 
career development goals, and on their path to becoming career-ready and part of 
the workforce. As part of the expansion, a new meeting room will be added for 
workforce programming, and smaller study room spaces will be added that can be 
used by community partners to provide one on one services, or by customers to 
conduct workforce related business, such as online interviewing.  In addition, a new 
study room space will also be added at the Ocotillo Library that can be used by 
community partners to provide one on one services, or by customers to conduct 
workforce related business, such as online interviewing.
Parks After-School Programs
The Library Department is in the process of procuring a large bookmobile that will be 
used to provide services to the community at 67th Avenue and Lower Buckeye.
PHX Works at Burton Barr and Ocotillo
Funds have allowed the Library Department to have additional staff to expand 
current College Depot services for high school students. This includes the following: 
prepare students for postsecondary access and success, identify students without 
access to the technology necessary to be successful in their educational goals, 
provide case management to help students overcome barriers, and build 
relationships with high school counselors and teachers to identify students in need. 
Staff is also assisting with the circulation of laptops and hotspots to provide students 
access to reliable internet services. 
Abrupt shifts to remote learning over the past two school years have affected 
students, negatively impacting their social, emotional, and mental well-being and 
academic achievement. The preexisting achievement and learning gaps widened as 
a result of the pandemic. This program aims provide students a supportive and 
learning environment to access services to close these gaps.

The Library has partnered with Arizona State University (ASU) to provide 1:1 reading 
tutoring to emerging readers in 1st through 4th grade who lost ground due to the 
pandemic. The program aims to close the education gap experienced by students 
who experienced remote learning for a long period of time due to the pandemic and 
are in need of additional services to maintain grade-level comprehension and 
understanding, such as in reading and math. Tutoring would be provided by ASU 
students and the library will provide Wi-Fi provisioned tablet computers to facilitate 
virtual tutoring as needed.

Funds are intended to be used to provide resources needed to address capital 
needs. This category consists of two projects: 1) the rehabilitation of the 27th 
Avenue Recycling Facility and 2) stormwater projects in collaboration with the Flood 
Control District of Maricopa County. 
Funds will be used to replace lost revenue at the Convention Center. COVID-19 has 
had a severe impact on the Convention Center bookings. It is likely that large 
conventions and the associated hospitality industry will be among the slowest to 
recover and revenue will continue to be weak.
