grassNAC Breaks Ground! Learn about our newest Affordable Housing community in development.
Native American Connections (NAC) is thrilled to announce that LISC-Phoenix has awarded our organization $500,000 as part of LISC’s transformative initiative, Housing is Healthcare. This significant funding will empower us to develop our 24th housing project, Cross Winds @ Three Star Pointe, in the City of Surprise. NAC is grateful for this invaluable opportunity to recognize and provide housing as an essential aspect of health and well-being.
Cross Winds @ Three Star Pointe will provide 45 affordable rental townhomes specifically designed for low-income households. This project exemplifies our commitment to the LISC “Housing is Healthcare” grant, providing a safe, affordable, and strategically located community within walking distance of a public park, grocery stores, a public library, and recreational and health facilities. Featuring a single, secure entry point, Cross Winds will create inviting community gathering spaces, a playground, a pickleball court and a BBQ area, with dedicated on-site staff to offer essential supportive services for residents.
Community partners and volunteers will enrich NAC’s free classes for adults at Cross Winds, focusing on key areas such as educational support, computer skills, financial management, household budgeting, nutrition/well-being, job searching techniques, effective parenting, and more. Furthermore, NAC’s Mobile Health Initiative will deliver on-site integrated healthcare services monthly through a mobile van equipped with two consultation areas.
Cross Winds @ Three Star Pointe is an innovative complement to NAC’s existing supportive housing projects in the City of Surprise: HomeBase, a 40-bed shelter for youth ages 18-24 experiencing homelessness, and Bridge Housing Surprise, featuring 9 condominiums for families transitioning from homelessness to stable housing. Joining the NAC mission to change lives and build healthy communities, Cross Winds represents a proactive initiative to develop housing and healthcare solutions tailored to meet the needs of low-income households in Arizona.
NAC would like to express our sincere gratitude to LISC Phoenix, the County West Valley Consortium and the City of Surprise for their unwavering support of our ongoing efforts in health, housing, and community development services.
