Arizona Housing Fund Receives $120,000 Grant from Burton Family Foundation
Foundation: Arizona Community Foundation
The Burton Family Foundation has given Arizona's Arizona Housing Fund $120,000 to help build more affordable housing for the state's homeless, the Arizona Republic reports.
"We've had the opportunity to get to know Burton Family Foundation through our relationship with the Arizona Community Foundation, where both our Fund and the Foundation are housed initiatives, and innovations serving high need, underserved, and underrepresented communities across Arizona," Howard Epstein, founder of the fund, says in a press release.
"Through the collective generosity of home buyers, sellers, and industry leaders, the Arizona Housing Fund is providing lasting and meaningful support to those experiencing homelessness across our state."
The fund, which Epstein says is "often the last piece of funding needed to help get a project across the finish line," will provide grants to "experienced Arizona nonprofits to bring more permanent, supportive affordable housing units to our state's growing homeless population," according to the press release.
