housing crisis

Several northern Arizona mayors want state legislators to return local control of short-term rentals to cities so they can create rules that suit their communities.

The Sedona City Council gave preliminary approval to use more than $875,000 from the state for a rapid re-housing program that would help residents pay for the costs of moving into an apartment.

Three housing projects in Flagstaff added more than 100 affordable rentals to the city this year, but the total number of affordable rentals actually decreased.

Sedona voters will decide the fate of a controversial program that would allow workers to sleep in their cars in the parking lot of the Sedona Cultural Park.

Sedona residents have started the process to force a referendum over the city council’s recent decision to set up a “safe place to park” for unhoused workers.

The Sedona City Council approved a zoning change that will allow workers experiencing homelessness to sleep in their cars in a “safe” parking lot at the Sedona Cultural Park. It’s part of an effort to combat the ongoing housing crisis.

The Flagstaff City Council is considering changing zoning rules to allow city-owned public facilities to be used for housing in an attempt to combat the housing crisis.

Home rental prices in Flagstaff have increased more than 12% since early 2022 and it's putting a strain on local residents who are searching for affordable housing.

A new report found Flagstaff is the eighth most expensive small city in the U.S. with a median rent of $2,153 a month.

The first of 40 planned “starter homes” in Flagstaff have been completed by Habitat for Humanity of Northern Arizona. The five-year project is meant to help address the city’s housing crisis.
