Phoenix City Council unanimously approved a new citywide affordable housing initiative to address the need for an additional 163,000 housing units in Phoenix. The Housing Phoenix Plan promotes housing options for residents in all income levels and family sizes. The stated Proposed Goal is: To create or preserve 50,000 housing units by 2030 and increase overall supply of market, workforce, and affordable housing through the implementation of nine housing policies:
Prioritize new Housing in Areas of Opportunity
Approve Zoning Ordinance Amendments to facilitate more Affordable Housing Options
Redevelop City Owned Land with Mixed-Income Housing
Enhance Public-Private Partnerships and Increase Funding Options for Affordable Housing
Implement Cost Saving Policies for Housing Development
Increase Affordable Housing Developer Representation on Boards and Commissions
Expand Efforts to Preserve Existing Housing Stock
Support Affordable Housing Legislation
Initiate an Affordable Housing Education Campaign
The Housing Phoenix Plan encourages multiple housing products including multifamily, townhomes and accessory dwelling units, and will likely bring changes to the zoning ordinance to create density incentives and more support for affordable housing developments.
