When completed later this year, dozens of apartments under construction will accommodate low-income families who qualify under local, state and federal guidelines.
A 72-unit family apartment complex called Creekview Village Apartments (CVA) is being built at 519 Miller Valley Road. With 24 two-bedroom and 48 three-bedroom apartments, all have two bathrooms and a patio or balcony.
The complex will contain six three-story walk-up apartment buildings. The apartments comprise about 102,000 collective square feet.
The complex also will include a playground, barbecue area, basketball court and walking paths. It also will have a one-story clubhouse.
Under construction for the past several months, the apartments are expected to be done around the first of the year.
Applications for rental units will be made public when construction nears completion, said David Kotin, President and designated broker for Scottsdale-based Kay-Kay Realty. He noted that Kay-Kay has a branch in Prescott. The firm also manages the Canyon Run Senior Apartments on White Spar Road.
Kotin said the complex was funded through low-income tax credits allocated by the Arizona Department of Housing in 2017. Kotin, a 28-year veteran executive with Kay-Kay, explained that CVA resulted from a partnership between Bethel Development, Inc., and Rainbow Housing Assistance Corp. The two organizations have partnered to create affordable housing in several states.
Bethel Development is an Ohio-based company that specializes in affordable housing. Bethel has developed 29 affordable housing projects in Ohio, New Mexico and Arizona.
In addition to the Prescott apartments, Bethel is constructing another 76-unit senior living complex in Phoenix. It, too, is scheduled for completion around the first of the year.
Kotin said Rainbow is a Phoenix-based nonprofit organization that provides service-enriched housing opportunities and programs for residents in rental communities throughout the country.
Kotin said CVA rents are based on complex formulae determined by economic statistics. At present, 26 units have been designated for families with less than 40% of the median income, 33 units for are those with 50% or below median income and 13 units are for those with 60% or below of median income.
The median income in the Prescott area is $50,041, and 56,581 in Arizona, according to the latest data*. The U.S. average median income is $53,482*.
Flynann Janisse, executive director of Rainbow, said on the organization’s website, “It has been a pleasure to have a strong partnership with Bethel Development over the years. We are eager for these new developments to open so we can further support residents of affordable housing in meaningful ways.”
Rainbow is planning a wide range of onsite and online services both for the Prescott and the Phoenix complexes. Services will include after-school enrichment programs, computer training, financial literacy classes, job training, nutrition classes and a resident-services coordinator.
Kotin said CVA construction and management teams would use local staff and labor, local supplies and local vendors as much as possible.
Those wanting rental information about the Creekview Village can contact 928-541-9960.

LOCAL NEWS: The Northern Arizona VA in Prescott has provided an update on their Homeless Veteran Program. . . .PRESCOTT, Ariz. – The Northern Arizona VA Health Care System’s Homeless Veteran Program, along with its community partners, housed 445 Veterans in 2022, exceeding their target goal by 157%.Nationally, the 2022 goal was to house 38,000 homeless Veterans— a goal that was exceeded by 6.3%. The Department of Veterans Affairs remains committed to ending Veteran homelessness and increasing housing placements is critical to achieving this goal.“This success is a result of efforts built on the evidence-based ‘Housing First’ approach, which prioritizes getting a Veteran into housing, then provides the Veteran with the support they need to stay housed,” said Steve Sample, Medical Center Director.In Northern Arizona, there are a variety of services designed to house homeless Veterans. The VA’s Health Care for Homeless Veterans (HCHV) Program includes VA Supportive Housing (HUD-VASH) vouchers that provide formerly homeless Veterans with subsidized housing and a wraparound, interdisciplinary case management team to address issues that may have contributed to homelessness. The program provides justice outreach services, employment services, health care services through the Homeless Patient Aligned Care Team, outreach, and transitional housing support. The VA also works closely with community partners to house homeless Veterans through a system called Coordinated Entry, where community agencies along with the VA regularly meet to coordinate efforts and ensure homeless Veterans do not fall through the cracks.“We are fortunate that there is so much support for helping homeless Veterans in our area,” said Jessica Taylor, Homeless Program Coordinator for the Northern Arizona VA. “This success could not have been possible without great collaboration between our community partners, Housing Authorities, Tribal partnerships, and support from our local communities.”Looking ahead, the VA will continue to explore new avenues to house homeless Veterans and overcome housing barriers. In collaboration with U.S VETS, Gorman & Company, and the Arizona Department of Housing, a supportive housing project on the grounds of the VA’s Fort Whipple campus is in the initial planning stages. The VA is also expanding outreach to ensure that homeless Veterans are aware of services available to them. For Veterans who are homeless or at imminent risk of homelessness— or if you know of homeless Veterans in need of assistance, call 877-424-3838.For more information on renting to or hiring homeless Veterans, visit: www.va.gov/homelessAbout the Northern Arizona VA: Through its main campus in Prescott, along with Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs) in Cottonwood, Flagstaff, Kingman, Lake Havasu City, and Anthem— with additional clinics in Tuba City, Page, Kayenta, Chinle, Holbrook, and Polacca, the Northern Arizona VA provides services to approximately 33,000 Veterans over a catchment area of more than 65,000 square miles.. . .www.facebook.com/VAPrescott ...
