We work with policymakers to rethink zoning laws and bureaucracies that limit new homes and discourage small local projects. Let’s re-legalize neighborhoods with homes in more shapes and sizes. ED @kiringoff.bsky.social

When she was in the state Senate, Anna Hernandez was critical to passing HB 2721 - the bill that HB 2375 is now attempting to undo. HB 2721 re-legalized “middle housing” up to fourplexes on single-family lots near downtown areas in Arizona cities. Read the OpEd: azcapitoltimes.com/news/2026/03...

HB2375 is a step backward for housing fairness and just plain wrong | Arizona Capitol Times

Using disproportionate financial and political power to block new homes, particularly in high-opportunity areas, is plain wrong.

Three cheers to Flagstaff for––as of a few minutes ago––becoming the first city in Arizona (and maybe the entire southwest?) to legalize fourplexes on every residential lot citywide. And congrats to Flagstaff for Affordable Housing & @azneighborhood.bsky.social for leading the charge!

Last year the #azleg passed HB2721 to require cities to allow #middlehousing around their central business districts. Last night the Flagstaff P&Z commission approved a plan to apply the middle housing law citywide! Thank you Flagstaff for taking a lead in addressing the state’s #housingcrisis.

Arizona seems somewhat more susceptible to people leaving due to high housing costs as the state is really founded on being cheap. No one moves to PHX for a 2-hour commute, which is about what it takes to afford a house and work in the center of the region. www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/arizona...

A new poll shows how big a problem the housing crisis has become in Arizona.

By allowing a variety of missing middle housing types in traditionally single-family only neighborhoods, developers in Portland are now able to produce housing to meet varied demands. These 2-bed, 2-bath townhomes sold for $350,000, $200,000 less than the median 1F price. 📍Portland, OR

Allowing small-lot starter homes would give more Arizona families a path to homeownership and spur the production of badly needed housing. Let your legislators know you support the Starter Homes Act!

Tweet from Sen. Ortiz: "The Starter Homes Act(HB 2371/SB 1229) passed House Commerce. It legalizes smaller lot sizes. Our bipartisan coalition is strong & determined. Too many are locked out of the opportunity to own a home and build wealth. It’s time to bring back the American dream of homeownership."

The Arizona Starter Homes Act is back! The bill would preclude cities from various mandates that increase housing costs, without any health or safety basis, including large minimum lot sizes, unworkable setbacks, and costly design mandates.
