Funding was awarded to the City from the County in March 2024, to be utilized to increase the number of heat relief locations, expand daytime heat relief services, and add overnight heat relief services in Phoenix. Expansion included extended hours at three daytime sites and the addition of two overnight heat relief centers for people in need during summer 2024.
The County has added additional funding for the 2025 and 2026 heat seasons, necessitating this retroactive extension and amendment request.

- Cholla Library - 10050 N. Metro Parkway East (cooling center);
- Harmon Library - 1325 S. 5th Avenue (cooling center);

- 24/7 Heat Respite Location - 20 W. Jackson Street (daytime and overnight respite).
