Arizona Needs Affordable Housing Now
Arizona is facing a critical housing crisis due to the lack of supply. Residents are struggling to find affordable homes, and it's time for change. We need leaders who will work across party lines to implement effective housing policies.
Our Plan to Solve the Housing Crisis
1. Promote Affordable Options
Encouraging the development of more affordable housing options, while protecting neighborhoods:
- Increases housing density in urban areas, making better use of available land
- Reduces the overall cost of homes, making them more accessible to first-time homeowners and buyers who want minimal maintenance
2. Reducing Regulations
Reducing unnecessary red tape to make building homes easier and more cost-effective, while maintaining essential health and safety standards:
- Simplifies the building process, allowing developers to construct homes more quickly and efficiently
- Lowers construction costs, which can be passed on to homebuyers in the form of more affordable prices
- Encourages innovation in housing design and construction methods
3. Faster Approval Times
Streamlining the approval process to get new housing projects off the ground quickly:
- Reduces delays in construction, allowing new homes to enter the market sooner
- Lowers holding costs for developers, which can result in more affordable end prices for consumers
- Enables quicker responses to changing housing needs in different areas
- Encourages more development projects, as faster turnaround times make investments more attractive
As the voice of the residential construction industry we believe that addressing the housing crisis requires cooperation from both sides of the aisle. By working together, we can create policies that benefit all Arizonans and ensure a brighter future for our state.
