In Case You Missed It: During July's Phoenix Housing Lab, we talked to a panel of experts about "Yes in God's Backyard" or YIGBY. The concept of building homes on the property of religious institutions has proven successful across the country and right here in Arizona.

Reforming the way we build apartments can make a big difference toward reducing costs and creating more walkable communities. Valley Urban Action Alliance Executive Director Nicole Rodriguez talked to KJZZ about "single-stair reform".

Housing is an ecosystem. Where more housing is built, more options open up for every person in need of a place to live. We need both supply side solutions and tenant protections to address the complex issue of housing affordability.

🗣️Unf*ck Our Zoning Code🗣️ During our last Phoenix Housing Lab, @annahernandezaz.bsky.social discussed how exclusionary zoning practices segregate communities. It’s one reason why missing middle housing policies are so important—more housing options lead to more diverse neighborhoods.

Rents are falling as more homes are being built in the metro Phoenix area. Common sense policies that make it easier to build more homes for all of our neighbors are effective! www.azcentral.com/story/money/...

Rents are falling in metro Phoenix. Here's where the best deals are
Rents are down in the 10 biggest cities across metro Phoenix and aren’t expected to rise this year. They could go down even more.

Missing middle housing helps seniors downsize and families stay in their neighborhoods by offering diverse housing options that seamlessly fit into existing neighborhoods and are more affordable for working people.
