Lesco said that anyone who served in the military and has nowhere to live will be entitled to VCP at Glendale’s dwellings, although the village is limited to 50 units.

Where did the Glendale VCP financial support come from?

The Saturday innovative program came just over a year after the Council of Supervisory Authorities of Maricopa County has allocated $ 3 million in the US Law on the Rescue Plan for the project.

Meanwhile, Glendale’s city has contributed $ 6.2 million and the state has added $ 900,000, Lesco said. Arizona Diamondbacks and Sanderson Ford also provided funding.

The total price was expected to be around $ 14.2 million, according to a January 2024 press press of the city of Glendale.

“I am a fiscal conservative, but when it comes to veterans, we owe them to help them,” Lesco said. “They served our country; They risk our lives. So, for me, this is the government. The government is for public safety, the military and the support of our veterans. “
