Phoenix Community Development Services

The City of Peoria will provide Phoenix Community Development Services with a gap payment to cover some operational costs for New Hope Apartments.

Abatement of public campsites in downtown Peoria has been put on hold until January.

Phoenix Community Development Services built the 16-unit building at 205 NE Madison Ave. for young adults experiencing homelessness, at risk of homelessness or who have a disabling behavioral health condition.

Advocates for Peoria's unhoused population see a lot of problems with the city's proposal to ban unauthorized encampments on public property.

A pair of residential development projects are the latest examples of Phoenix Community Development Services’ efforts in conjunction with the Home For All Continuum of Care to reduce the number of people experiencing homelessness in the area.

Phoenix Community Development Services hosted a topping-off ceremony Thursday for the four-story Madison III Apartments at 206 NE Madison Ave. The development will feature 16 permanent supportive housing units.

Forty percent of Peoria's households are renters. Of that 40%, about a third are considered low-income.

The 16-unit, four-story apartment building will be adjacent to Phoenix Community Development Services' other properties in the 200 block of NE Madison.

Although thought of as a primarily urban landscape, Peoria also touts an impressive amount of green spaces, and with that comes several community gardens tucked into corridors all over the city.

Housing insecurity is on the rise in the Peoria area. The end of the COVID-19 eviction moratorium may be to blame.
