City of Chandler Council Study Session 6/8/2026

The City of Chandler Council held a study session on June 8, 2026, primarily focusing on affordable housing and homelessness prevention programs. A key procurement-related discussion involved the proposed amendment to agreements with Redwood Motel and Metro Zona Hotel to continue providing non-congregate shelter through the Operation Open Door program for the upcoming fiscal year. This program offers emergency shelter and wraparound services to vulnerable populations, including families, seniors, and veterans, with strong positive outcomes reported. While no votes were taken during this session, the council planned to vote on these agreements and the city budget in a subsequent meeting. The session also highlighted the importance of supportive services and partnerships with local businesses and nonprofits to ensure housing stability for program participants.
