Phoenix Scholar House Opens: Arizona's First Affordable Housing for Student-Parents
Phoenix Scholar House officially opened its doors on Thursday. It is the first community of its kind in Arizona.
The affordable housing is built specifically for single parents pursuing a college degree.
Residents get more than just a roof over their heads. Childcare, education support, and career development are all part of the package.
The community is designed to help parents stay in school without having to choose between their kids and their future.
Sierra Chavez-Fiore, a mom of three, is already living there. The full-time nursing student and part-time worker says the stability has changed everything.
"It definitely helps give me that peace of mind, and live stress-free I guess... so I can focus on my school, right? Because my school is very important," Chavez-Fiore said.
The project is a partnership between nonprofit Save the Family and Brinshore Development. They call this a blueprint and say they hope to replicate it across Arizona.
