Even though a proposal to allow churches to build housing on their property died in the State Legislature in the most recent session, affordable housing developer Gorman & Company and Scottsdale United Methodist Church have presented a proposal to do exactly that on SUMC’s property at 4140 N. Miller Road in Scottsdale, just inside the eastern edge of Old Town.

Gorman has a highly successful track record with workforce and affordable housing development in Arizona. DATABEX shows the company has completed 14 developments around the state since the project database was launched in mid-2016. Another four communities are currently shown as under construction. Two are in design/plan review, and one is in the planning stage. Of the 22 developments Gorman has proposed, only one has been cancelled.
