Arizona Housing Fund Project Application

The Arizona Housing Fund is a dedicated and sustainable revenue source that grants funding to nonprofit agencies that build and operate Permanent Supportive, Low-Income and Working Poor Housing. Our equity grants will enable more housing units to be constructed, meeting the growing needs of our communities in Arizona with the goal of reducing the number of people experiencing homelessness.

Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) Phoenix is a partner of the Arizona Housing Fund providing underwriting and other services to the fund. LISC Phoenix is collecting and processing this application. All communication about your application will come from a LISC Phoenix program officer. 
Funding is distributed on a first come, first served basis for mission-aligned projects. 
The Arizona Housing Fund is intended for permanent supportive housing projects that serve the most vulnerable individuals and families earning up to 30% AMI. 
An eligible applicant must be a non-profit affordable housing developer, owner or operator with at least 5 years of experience managing and operating sustainable supportive housing.

Prospective applicants may pre-qualify by completing the RFQ form or by meeting the following criteria:

  • Be in good standing with that grantee and/or lender and current on loan payments, if applicable.
Applicants who have not pre-qualified will be asked the qualifying questions within this application. 

Projects that have previously received an award from the Arizona Housing Fund are not eligible to apply again. 
Project applications will be reviewed as they are received and this application will remain open as long as the Fund is in existence.
