200 Pascua Yaqui families getting new homes through Arizona tax credits to tribe
Cronkite News
TUCSON, Arizona — The Pascua Yaqui Tribe is building 200 affordable homes after receiving millions of dollars in tax credits to fund the project on the reservation southwest of Tucson.
Keith Gregory, Pascua Yaqui’s director of housing, said the tribe has 1,100 families on a waitlist for affordable housing. However, 200 of those families will be placed into homes after the construction is completed this year.
“I think the average wait for families is around seven years,” he said, “so these are families that have been waiting and in desperate need. You don’t sign up to be on a waitlist for housing if you don’t need it.”
