BRIEF HISTORY OF PMHDC'S HOUSING DIVISION:

The Housing Division has a long history of serving rural Arizona. Programs include Self-Help Homeownership, Down Payment Assistance, Owner-Occupied Home Repair Programs, and assisting rural communities to build infrastructure such as water and sewer improvements.   PMHDC also provides technical assistance to Community Housing Development Organizations under a contract with HUD and for the development of farmworker housing under a contract with USDA.  

Two apartment projects provide affordable housing opportunities for low-income persons. The Don Frew Apartments in Marana, AZ offers one, two and three bedroom units. The Ramona Morales Apartments in Benson, AZ offers one-bedroom apartments for low-income elderly persons. Both sites provide Section 8 project-based rental assistance.

Mission

Vision

PMHDC envisions communities of opportunity for all people especially the traditionally underserved where financial and educational assets can be easily accessed including technical assistance training, quality housing, community facilities, access to capital, and employment.
