Add an Assistant to the City Manager position to oversee the City's homeless 
services and programs. The position will directly supervise the Homeless Services 
Division housed in the Human Services Department and provide executive level 
leadership and guidance on the development and implementation of policies and 
procedures to achieve the goals of the City Council adopted Strategies to Address 
Homelessness Plan.
Status Update: Since her appointment in October 2022, the Office of 
Homeless Solutions (OHS) Director has made significant progress. The OHS 
applied for and was awarded funding to support various homeless services 
initiatives totaling over $35 million, including a Governor’s Office request for 
$13.3 million (HSD engagement effort focus); ADOH funding for Workforce/
Shelter Program for $7 million (new shelter on City property); Maricopa 
County shelter infrastructure for $6 million (Rio Fresco); Maricopa County 
housing infrastructure for $5 million (Super 8); Maricopa County heat relief 
for $1.015 million; MAG/Paradise Valley shelter funding for $200,000; and 
ADOH Homeless Support Shelter funding for $3.1 million. OHS led the effort 
to close streets to camping around the Human Services Campus (7th to 15th 
Avenues, Van Buren to Harrison Streets) in May of 2023, resulting in over 80 
percent of the almost 700 homeless individuals accepting indoor shelter 
placements. The office helped create emergency shelter capacity in the 
homeless system, adding over 1,000 new permanent and temporary shelter 
beds, with an additional 790 permanent beds in the construction pipeline, 
providing safe, indoor respite and services to help individuals end their 
homelessness. The City’s work on homelessness was recognized locally 
and nationally, with the City asked to participate in the White House and the 
United States Interagency Council on Homelessness (USICH) ‘All Inside’ 
initiative, providing federal technical assistance to support our efforts to 
address unsheltered homelessness. Additionaly, the OHS Director was 
confirmed as Co-Chair of the Maricopa Continuum of Care Board of 
Directors and the Governor’s Interagency and Community Council on 
Homelessness and Housing. Both positions provide the City representation 
and influence on a regional level.

property lines which slow the spread of fire. Since filling these positions, 
Fire Prevention has significantly increased the number of facilities 
inspected, identifying and correcting nearly 400 fire code violations, and has 
seen a 50 percent reduction in the number of OCS fire incidents.

Add funding to the Historic Preservation Office for the Threatened Buildings Grant 
Program. The grant funds will be used to preserve, rehabilitate or move historic 
buildings in order to prevent their loss. A threatened building is one that is in 
deteriorated condition and/or has a high likelihood of demolition. Grant funds 
require the owner to convey a conservation easement to the City, with the length 
of the easement varying based on the amount of the funds provided. This 
conservation easement protects the public's investment in the building during the 
life of the easement.

Add funding to provide better services for clients in the Veteran's Court and the 
Behavioral Health Court. This includes adding two Assistant City Attorney III 
positions, one Legal Assistant position, and funding for a toxicology consultant. 
The ongoing costs will be partially offset by eliminating a Forensic Toxicology 
Expert position and reducing contract attorney services.
Status Update: All positions are filled. The Public Defender’s Office is 
operating at the highest level of client care for vulnerable populations since 
its inception. By changing from contracted attorneys to City staff, clients 
can reach their attorney easier, and the attorneys have more dedicated time 
for individual client’s cases. This has resulted in better legal representation 
for clients and has ensured that everything that can be done for a client in 
our specialty courts (both Veterans and Behavioral Health) will be done. The 
Legal Assistant is assigned to Behavioral Health Court, which has a very 
large caseload. This allows the attorney to focus on legal matters while staff 
prepare files, call clients, and most importantly, schedule all Rule 11 
appointments for determination of competency to participate in court 
proceedings. The loss of a full-time toxicologist has been negligible due to 
the contracted forensic toxicologist’s availability for testifying, as well as test

$460,000 for the development of a Supplemental Plan to develop a 
Pedestrian High Risk Network planning document and an updated Speed 
Limit Setting process, and 2) $25,000,000 was awarded to improve 
pedestrian, cyclist, and vehicular safety focused within an underserved 
community along Indian School Road from 39th to 91st Avenues, known as 
ReVISIONing Indian School Road. The VZ-RSAP identified traffic crash 
patterns within the City, developed a High Injury Network that has been 
utilized to prioritize the locations of traffic safety infrastructure projects, and 
engaged the community in the development of 41 safety strategies. RSAP 
funding has contributed to the implementation of the VZ-RSAP strategies

Add funding to compensate for the loss of Low Income Home Energy Assistance

Unexpectedly, DES provided funds for navigation support in place of the

Status Update: The requested supplemental funding resulted from Office for 
Victims of Crime (OVC) communication regarding a 50 percent reduction of 
funding levels for Fiscal Year 2023-24. The State of Arizona used American 
Rescue Plan Act funds to make up for the shortfall. As a result, no 
supplemental funds have been spent to date. For Fiscal Year 2024-25, OVC 
is again anticipating a 50 percent reduction in funding based on the
