A longtime resident says this isn't the first time they have experienced A/C issues.
PHOENIX — Residents say that units at Phoenix's Lincoln Family Downtown YMCA are in the 80ºs and 90ºs after the air conditioning went out.There are around 120 people living in the residence tower.
"Since then, what we've done, is we've taken steps to secure as many portable A/C units as possible. Obviously, making sure that those who are in the greatest need — whether that's because the temperature is high or they have health conditions — are receiving those so they remain comfortable," said JT Turner, the executive director of PR and communications at Valley of the Sun YMCA.
The good news is the common areas and YMCA member facilities remain cool. The organization said they are also in the process of getting cots to offer alternative sleeping arrangements during this time. Right now, they still don't have a timeline on when the units will be fixed but they have ordered the necessary parts.Spencer says, as a longtime resident, this isn't the first time they have experienced A/C issues.
"We actually go and check and knock on doors and say 'Hey, what do you need? Are you okay? What can we do?'" said Spencer.

Homes become 'air fryers' in Phoenix heat, people ration AC due to costTemperatures have peaked at or above 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43.3 degrees Celsius) the entire month of July in Phoenix. Air conditioning, which made modern Phoenix even possible, is a lifeline. When a cloudless sky combines with outdoor temperatures over 100 F, your house turns into an “air fryer” or “broiler,” as the roof absorbs powerful heat and radiates it downward, said Jonathan Bean, co-director of the Institute for Energy Solutions at the University of Arizona.
