This special topic report examines the prevalence and characteristics of co-occurring substance abuse and mental health problems among adult arrestees in Maricopa County. The findings suggest that more than 28 percent of adult arrestees in Maricopa County are at risk for a co-occurring disorder, and they face significantly greater difficulties across a number of critical factors, including incarceration, homelessness, and victimization. Understanding the prevalence and particular characteristics of the dual-diagnosed arrestee population in Maricopa County is an important part of assessing demands on behavioral health and substance use treatment resources. Additionally, examining some of the current defining characteristics of this population relative to arrestees not dually diagnosed can serve as an indicator of future demand.

This report indicates that the current green systems conditions in the Uptown District are poor overall. Of particular concern are water consumption, lack of trees, and high temperatures. Sustainable green systems strives for fully functional stormwater, biodiversity, and resource management practices, as well as sustainable levels of thermal comfort, energy efficiency, and access to green space. The current state assessment is based on four goals of sustainable green systems, derived from sustainability and livability principles (HUD, 2009): 1. Reduce stormwater loads and harvest water on-site; 2. Reduce potable water consumption; 3. Reduce daytime temperatures; 4. Increase green systems benefits to health, mobility, and the economy.
This appendix contains descriptive data on housing conditions in Uptown through a series of tables, charts, and maps.
