Affordable Housing Study Forum Coming To San Manuel

In 2007, the Pinal County Board of Supervisors along with the Arizona Dept. of Housing commissioned a study to look at affordable housing in Pinal County . A presentation of the study will be given. The state and Pinal County now seek citizen input on the important document.

A public forum will be held at the San Manuel High School Auditorium located at 711 McNab Parkway on March 25th, at 2 pm.

"This study will be incorporated into our Pinal County Comprehensive Plan," said Supervisor Lionel Ruiz. "It's a regional plan that looks across the county to address the need of affordable housing in every community. I would encourage residents to attend the forum and give us their ideas on the study."

Last summer public forums were held across Pinal County to solicit the public's input on the issue of affordable housing. Many of the ideas received, along with other sources of data, make up the preliminary copy of the study.

"The public's initial input is reflected in this document," said Pinal County Housing Director Adeline Allen. "This study will help us address the need for affordable housing in our nine incorporated communities and other areas."
