Home ownership is an important part of the American dream.
The new Housing Department will bring together existing programs addressing the issue of affordable housing into one, coordinated effort. It will work with cities and counties, local industrial development authorities, banks, developers and non-profit organizations to bring greater efficiency and creativity to this challenge of producing workforce housing. The bill also creates the Arizona Housing Finance Authority, which can issue bonds in support of affordable housing. We are not creating more bureaucracy today, we are making less. Hull listed the creation of a Housing Department as a major goal in her State of the State address in January.
