Redefining the
American Dream. One that
is accessible to all Arizonans.
Home Matters to Arizona
Arizona is in need of as many as 270,000 additional homes, as the state’s housing problem becomes a crisis. Of the 270,000 home shortage, over 50% are extremely low income.
Phoenix alone is the 15th least affordable city for housing in the US. In the state, as housing costs rise and availability decreases at a rapid rate, individuals across the state are left without a home - a place to feel safe, a place to raise their families, a place to learn, grow and discover opportunity, a place to connect with their community.
We believe every American should live in a safe, nurturing environment with access to quality education, healthcare, public spaces and community services, and we’re on a mission to make this a reality in Arizona.
What can we do?
We’ve created the first statewide Home Matters initiative in the nation focused on a new generation of affordable housing, connected communities, and healthier individuals, families, and economies.
Our Vision and Principles | Home Matters to Arizona
For Individual Success
People who live freely and recharge at home do better at work and are more engaged with the world around them.
For Education
Children in stable homes learn and achieve more in school. Home helps level the playing field.
For Health
Healthy habits are more accessible when you live in a stable, affordable home. Children get the healthy start they deserve, and seniors live with dignity.
For Public Safety
When people can count on their home, a stronger sense of community keeps streets, neighborhoods and towns safer.
For a Strong Economy
People have more to spend when they live in homes they can afford. Local job growth and a strong economy starts at home.
For Vibrant Communities
Community spaces, public services, neighbors and community members to connect with, homes enrich our lives.
What is Home Matters® America?
