This $500,000 Project Grant awarded by the Department of Health and Human Services' Health Resources and Services Administration under the Congressional Directives program (CFDA 93.493) will support the construction of an 84-bed medical respite facility in Mesa, Arizona operated by the non-profit organization Circle The City. The facility will provide comprehensive medical care, transitional housing, and supportive services to individuals experiencing homelessness who have been discharged from hospitals but still require significant care. This respite center is expected to reduce unnecessary emergency room visits and hospital readmissions, while also facilitating transitions to permanent housing. The project is projected to create approximately 120 high-paying healthcare jobs and generate over $13 million in annual local economic impact. The award has an approximately 3-year period of performance from September 2024 to September 2027.
