Issues

The housing crisis in Arizona is not just a statistic; it's a real problem that is impacting the lives of countless families.

Whether you're a young professional trying to find your first home, a working-class family struggling to make rent, or a senior citizen on a fixed income, the rising cost of housing has become an unbearable burden for too many.

One of the core issues contributing to this crisis is the lack of affordable housing options and short-term rentals. In recent years, we have seen a sharp increase in housing prices and rents that have far outpaced wage growth. Additionally, the legislature must stop blocking cities from having a voice on the widespread vacation rentals that have driven up rents and priced hardworking Arizonans out of their own neighborhoods and communities. Many Arizonans are forced to spend a significant portion of their income on housing, leaving them with little room for savings, investments, or other essential needs.

Stephanie knows our elected officials must tackle this housing crisis in the state legislature, by investing in Arizona’s Housing Trust Fund, expanding affordable housing options, and ensuring that every resident has the opportunity to secure a safe and stable home.
