Council backs Moreland phase two, Edison Eastlake Choice Neighborhoods and related HUD/RAD measures
Summary
The council approved multiple housing actions including funding for Moreland Phase II (105 units with senior and workforce set-asides), support for the Edison Eastlake Choice Neighborhood initiative and approvals to seek federal conversions for single-family affordable homes; votes were recorded with broad support.
Phoenix City Council members approved several housing items intended to expand affordable and mixed-income housing citywide.
Vice Mayor Hodge-Washington and housing staff described Moreland Phase II as a 105-unit development with at least 80% of units dedicated to seniors and additional workforce units, leveraging federal resources, tax credits, project-based vouchers and public–private financing to minimize general-fund impact. Council members framed the package—including funding for the Edison Eastlake Choice Neighborhoods and authority for single-family conversions—as a comprehensive approach that pairs housing with neighborhood improvements and economic opportunity.
Votes for the Moreland and Choice Neighborhood items and related funding were recorded and passed with the majorities cited during the meeting (roll-call votes recorded; items noted as passing 8–0 where indicated). Council emphasized preserving community input, using federal sources and aligning supportive services alongside housing construction.
The council also approved seeking federal approval to convert sites to affordable for-sale single-family housing, part of a broader neighborhood-stabilization strategy.
