LEAD 9 Affordable Housing In 2007, the Arizona Community Foundation joined forces with the Phoenix chapter of the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) to launch the Affordable Housing Loan Fund to address the state’s critical shortage of affordable housing. Through collaboration with many local organizations and contributors, the fund has provided interest-free pre-development loans to support 49 housing projects led by nonprofits and community development corporations. A loan from the fund helped kick-start the renovation of the historic Coffelt-Lamoreaux Apartment Homes in south Phoenix. $4.5 million loaned for 49 housing projects across Arizona 2,937 units created or rehabilitated 3,524 first-year jobs created $75,000 – $100,000 per project 10 ANNUAL REPORT 2019 Coffelt-Lamoreaux The Coffelt-Lamoreaux Apartment Homes were Residents the state’s first affordable housing project.

  • Geologic Map of the Phoenix Mountains, Central Arizona
    Geologic Map of the Phoenix Mountains, Central Arizona Julia K. Johnson, Stephen J. Reynolds, and David A. Jones Arizona Geological Survey Contributed Map 04-A Tucson, AZ 2003 Introduction The Phoenix Mountains, located within the Phoenix metropolitan area of central Arizona, are a northwest-trending, uplifted fault block that extends for about 13 km (8 miles) from Moon Hill in the northwest to Camelback Mountain in the southeast (Fig. 1). The area includes a main range, with 420 m (1,378 ft) of local relief, as well as several isolated peaks. The geologic mapping for this study covers the main part of the range, including (from northwest to southeast) Moon Hill, Shaw Butte, North Mountain, Stoney Mountain, Dreamy Draw, Squaw Peak, and the informally named Quartzite Ridge. The main goals of this study were to document the bedrock geology, reconstruct the geologic history, and produce a 1:24,000 geologic map of the range. The area contains a remarkable stratigraphic sequence that records the formation of continental crust in the region as it evolved from an oceanic setting to a more continental setting. The rocks have been cleaved and steeply tilted, providing a well-exposed traverse through this exceptional sequence. The range also contains spectacular Proterozoic (Precambrian) structures, which document the extreme deformation that affected the crust soon after it had formed. Lookout Moon Mtn.

  • Human Trafficking 101: a Conversation with Mrs. Cindy Mccain and Ernie Allen
    Human Trafficking 101: A Conversation with Mrs. Cindy McCain and Ernie Allen [applause] Claire Sechler Merkel: Thank you, Paris. Welcome, everyone. I am Claire Merkel. I am the Director of Arizona Initiatives for the McCain Institute. I am just delighted to welcome each of you here tonight for the first in what we hope to be a seven or eight-piece series on human trafficking. You can see the titles we have up on the billboards here. We're excited to get started this evening with Ernie Allen. Before we get started, I get to have just a couple of minutes to tell you about some of the exciting things that are going on in human trafficking, here in Arizona, with Mrs. McCain and the Institute. First of all, I get to announce that we have a new partnership with ASU and Demand Abolition, which is an organization that is run by former ambassador Swanee Hunt. The program will look at demand in Arizona and first do a baseline study. After that, the goal is to reduce demand in Arizona by 20 percent in two years, which I think is a very laudable goal. We are lucky enough... [applause] Claire: Yay. [claps] You can clap. Lucky enough to have our project coordinator, Angie Bayless, with us tonight. If you all have questions about that, please see her. In addition, Lindsay and I just came from a meeting with the Department of Homeland Security Blue Campaign, which is something that the Arizona Governor's Human Trafficking Council is partnering with. I learned a fact there today that I didn't know, and it was exciting.

  • Christie and Mrs. Mccain
    Oliver Harper: [0:11] It's my great pleasure to have been asked yesterday to introduce Cindy McCain and Governor Christie. The Harpers have had the special privilege of being friends with the McCains for many years, social friends, political friends, and great admirers of the family. [0:33] Cindy is a remarkable person. She's known for her incredible service to the community, to the country, and to the world. She has a passion for doing things right and making the world better. [0:48] Cindy, after her education at USC in special ed, became a teacher at Agua Fria High School in special ed and had a successful career there. She also progressed to become the leader of the family company, Hensley & Company, and continues to lead them to great heights. [1:13] Cindy's interest in the world and special issues has become very apparent over the years. She serves on the board of the HALO Trust. She serves on the board of Operation Smile and of CARE. [1:31] Her special leadership as part of the McCain Institute and her special interest and where her heart is now is in conquering the terrible scourge of human trafficking and bringing those victims of human trafficking to a full, free life as God intended them to have. [1:57] I want to tell you just a quick personal experience with the McCains. Sharon and I will socialize with them often. We'll say, "What are you going to be doing next week, Sharon or Ollie?" [2:10] Then we'll ask the McCains what they're doing.

LAW'S EXPRESSIVE VALUE IN COMBATING CYBER GENDER HARASSMENT Danielle Keats Citron* The online harassment of women exemplifies twenty-first century behavior that profoundly harms women yet too often remains over- looked and even trivialized. This harassment includes rape threats, doctored photographs portraying women being strangled,postings of women's home addresses alongside suggestions that they are in- terested in anonymous sex, and technological attacks that shut down blogs and websites. It impedes women's full participation in online life, often driving them offline, and undermines their auton- omy, identity, dignity, and well-being. But the public and law enforcement routinely marginalize women's experiences, deeming the harassment harmless teasing that women should expect, and tolerate, given the internet's Wild West norms of behavior The trivializationof phenomena that profoundly affect women's ba- sic freedoms is nothing new.
