2024 legislative session offers hope for housing supply advocates
March 7, 2024
While the 2023 legislative session did little to solve Arizona’s ongoing housing supply crisis, this year’s gathering of 90 elected legislators has offered some hope that relief is coming.
The state faces a housing deficit of more than 270,000 homes, according to analysis by the Arizona Department of Housing. Lawmakers studied the issue in 2022, including holding stakeholder meetings and listening sessions in all corners of the state. The last legislative session saw ambitious proposals, but at the end of the session, no real solutions made their way through the process and onto the governor for signature.
