Habitat for Humanity Campaigns to Acquire Historic Flagstaff Motel for Housing
What happened
Habitat for Humanity of Northern Arizona is campaigning to purchase the El Pueblo Motel in Flagstaff, which has been listed for sale since August 2025 for $2.75 million. The group has raised approximately $40,000 toward the $3 million needed for the purchase. The plan involves restoring the motel's historic exteriors and converting the buildings into owner-occupied workforce housing.

Why it matters
The project aims to create 19 homes, including 11 new starter homes and eight units converted from the existing motel structures. The effort is part of a larger initiative to provide workforce housing in Flagstaff, which could influence local real estate and housing supply.
