\u201cSeniors on fixed incomes across Maricopa County are finding it harder to afford housing,\u201d said Supervisor Kate Brophy McGee, Vice Chair of the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, District 3. \u201cDevelopments like The Cascalote provide these seniors comfort and stability. Best of all, they can remain part of their community.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Located on a 4.4-acre site in Glendale, The Cascalote offers 148 affordable apartments for seniors exiting homelessness or living with disabilities, with priority given to veterans. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors approved $9.5 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds in April 2022 to support the project\u2019s land acquisition, predevelopment, and construction costs.\n<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to open The Cascalote and provide 148 new affordable homes for seniors in Glendale,\u201d said Shelly Marquez, President, Mercy Housing Mountain Plains. \u201cThis is an exciting milestone for Mercy Housing Mountain Plains, and we are thankful to our partners at Maricopa County and the City of Glendale for making this development a reality!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Inspired by the evergreen tree known for its yellow flowers, The Cascalote symbolizes resilience and hope. Eligible residents can choose from studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, with rents ranging from $963 to $1,389 per month for households earning between 30 and 60 percent of the Area Median Income (AMI). All units are fully accessible to ensure comfort, safety, and dignity.\n<\/p>\n

Located in Glendale, at the northwest corner of 49th Avenue and Glenn Drive, The Cascalote features amenities and support services, including a bocce court, dog park, on-site laundry, fitness center, community room with kitchen, picnic areas with grills, community garden, and navigation services to help residents successfully transition out of homelessness and thrive.\n<\/p>\n

This is Mercy Housing\u2019s first new affordable housing development in Arizona in 13 years. Maricopa County remains committed to affordable housing, having invested over $128 million in ARPA funds in housing programs and projects. Learn more at Maricopa.gov\/Housing<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
