Arizona housing bills recap
June 3
Housing affordability remains a top concern for Arizona voters, according to recent polling. Home prices and rent surged during the pandemic, and although a construction boom has brought those prices down slightly, a large number of Arizonans remain frustrated over the high cost of living and support new housing development to reduce costs. When asked to identify the most pressing issues facing the state, 40% of Arizona voters ranked affordable housing among their top three concerns; 28% have considered leaving the state over it.
Courtney LeVinus, President & CEO of Arizona Multi-Housing Association, joined Arizona Horizon to discuss which bills in the Legislature will make a difference and where lawmakers may have missed the mark.
