The promise of vibrant communities and a stronger Arizona starts at home.
Our Mission
Across Arizona, there is a shortage of rental homes affordable and available to extremely low income households. Many of these households are severely cost burdened, spending more than half of their income on housing. These households are more likely than other renters to sacrifice necessities like healthy food and healthcare to pay the rent, and to experience unstable housing situations like evictions.
Home Matters® to Arizona is the first statewide Home Matters initiative focused on a new generation of affordable housing, connected communities, and healthier individuals, families, and economies.
Leadership
A team of community leaders will help Home Matters to Arizona further the conversation about home’s critical linkages to health, education, public safety, personal success and the economy.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the development of the criteria for Fund investments and the evaluation, metrics and impact of those investments to ensure alignment with Home Matters’ principles and values.
