La Casita Grande De Paz

What La Casita Grande De Paz's governing documents say

This is a regulatory covenant for La Casita Grande de Paz, a mass shelter / emergency housing project in Casa Grande, AZ, funded by the Arizona State Housing Fund. The rules bind the property owner (Against Abuse, Inc.) for 20 years and are designed to ensure the facility serves low-income families with children. It is not a typical HOA or condominium document.

• Affordability & income limits: The facility must serve low-income households (annual income ≤ 80% of area median income, adjusted by HUD). Housing fees (rent) cannot exceed 30% of the household's adjusted gross income, calculated under Section 8 guidelines.
• Use & occupancy: The property must operate as an emergency shelter or temporary housing for children of abuse/neglect, both sexes, ages birth to 18. It is classified as a 'mass shelter' (dormitory-style). There must be no religious or membership criteria for occupants; the facility must be open to all regardless of religion.
• Tenant protections: Residents cannot be required to waive legal rights (e.g., right to sue, jury trial, notice of eviction). Evictions require written notice and must be for serious/repeated lease violations, law violations, or other good cause. The owner must adopt written occupant selection rules, maintain a waiting list, and notify rejected applicants in writing.
• Duration & enforcement: The covenants run with the land for a 20-year use restriction period starting from the certificate of occupancy or completion. The Arizona Department of Housing may enforce the terms and can require repayment of funds plus interest if breached. The owner must maintain reserves ($13,000 for operating, $17,000 for replacement) and allow inspections.
• What this document doesn't cover: This document does not contain rules about pets, parking, architectural changes, or typical HOA/condo living. It is a single-purpose affordability covenant that binds the owner, not residents directly. Other documents (e.g., the owner's policies, lease agreements) may impose additional rules on shelter residents.
