RE: Phoenix Scholar House- Save The Family/Brinshore Development 
Dear. Ms. Julien, 
On behalf of Phoenix Children’s, I write to voice our support for the Phoenix Scholar 
House project, a proposed living-learning community in Phoenix. The development will 
address a critical need by combining housing with educational opportunities for parents 
and children. 
As a healthcare organization, we are acutely aware of the impact that the shortage of 
affordable, sustainable housing options has had on the families in our community. The 
Phoenix Scholar House will offer Phoenix families a critical option for safe, sustainable 
housing.  In addition, parents participating in the program will be supported with 
guidance and resources as they pursue their post-secondary education.  This will help 
ensure that participants who complete the program will not only be able to achieve their 
career goals but will be better prepared to fulfill their housing goals upon completion of 
the program.  This program is proven to lift families out of poverty and into self-
sufficiency, a critical determinant of long-term health of parents and children. 
Phoenix Children’s Hospital is grateful your efforts to increase economic and educational 
opportunities for the parents and families in our community.  We are happy to lend our 
support to the Phoenix Scholar House initiative. 
Sincerely, 
Jennifer A. Carusetta 
Vice President of Public Affairs 
Phoenix Children's

RE: Phoenix Scholar House – Save The Family/Brinshore Development 
 
Dear Ms. Julien, 
 
I want to express my support for the development of Phoenix Scholar House, a proposed 
living-learning community at 2950 N. 18th Place in Phoenix. The development will address 
a critical need by combining housing, family services, and educational opportunities for 
parents and children. 
 
I spent my whole working career in the provision of quality housing for people with lower 
incomes and continue this work today as a member of the board of directors for ARM of 
Save the Family.  The mission of ARM is to place working poor families and individuals in 
affordable housing and offer supportive services to help them develop and maintain their 
own self-sufficiency. 
 
The Family Scholar House model fits well with both the ARM mission of affordable 
housing and our goal of self-sufficiency.  The program has proven successful in other 
locations and two-thirds of Family Scholar House participants have chosen healthcare 
professions. 
 
I support your commitment to this project that will provide affordable housing and 
pathways for educational attainment for families to achieve self-sufficiency. 
 
 
 
Sincerely, 
 
Paul Ludwick
