Affordable housing was ranked as Chandler’s most pressing societal need in a recent assessment administered by city officials.
A public hearing will be held at the City Council meeting at 6 p.m. Aug. 8 where residents can offer feedback on the 2019 needs assessment before it’s finalized.
As property values have risen in Chandler over the last couple of decades, more residents are falling below the poverty line and having a harder time find affordable housing.
“If you are not in the high-earning segment of our community, things are getting much tougher for you,” said Riann Balch, the city’s community resources director.
