Stephenson Place

Stephenson Place served low-income clients in 25 households consisting of 42 persons. Our program operates under the housing first model so saaf does not exclude clients from entering housing due to criminal history, rental history, domestic violence, mental illness, substance use, or other factors that might prevent a person from obtaining housing.we continue to transition clients who have stabilized and are doing well in housing to independent unsubsidized housing or to mainstream programs like section 8 housing through the city of tucson. We have been able to achieve this through a partnership with the city of tucson public housing authority where we can refer clients directly to section 8 housing. During the 2021-2022 fiscal year, saaf properties replaced the parking lot gate, updated the flooring in the community room, and replaced the roofs of both buildings.
