During a recent meeting of the Tempe Housing Authority, community member Karen Lynn Rhodes raised concerns regarding the lengthy wait for housing vouchers, specifically for individuals with disabilities aged 55 to 65. Rhodes, who has been on the waiting list for over a year, inquired about the timeline for receiving her voucher and the reasons for the delays.

In response, the city attorney suggested that Rhodes speak with Irma Hollamy Cain, who oversees the housing program, for more detailed information. Cain was present at the meeting and was directed to assist Rhodes with her questions.

The meeting proceeded with the approval of the minutes from the previous meeting held on April 18, 2024. Board member Hodge moved to approve the minutes, which was seconded by board member Adams. A roll call vote confirmed unanimous approval from all board members present.

Following the approval, Irma Holland B. Kane provided a quarterly update on the activities of the Tempe Housing Authority for the quarter ending June 30, 2024. Further details on the housing authority's initiatives and progress were anticipated in her report.
