Phoenix City Council approved up to $270,000 in ARPA funding to contract with RPM Team, LLC to provide architectural and engineering services for a new Sprung Structure. The project will provide a design for insulated Sprung structures and 25-50 non-congregate shelter units to be built on a City-owned site at 2225 W. Lower Buckeye road. The site will offer support services and day and nighttime shelter for up to 200 people at a time, providing a cool, safe space ahead of the 2023 summer heat.

RPM Team previously contracted with the City to construct its first Sprung Structure, Respiro, which added shelter for 100 people at the Human Services Campus in March 2022. This project is expected to be complete by Spring 2023.
