PHOENIX — Rents and mortgages are on the rise in Arizona, and the population just keeps growing.
Experts say there’s a need for more affordable housing, and one option to increase that supply could be inclusionary zoning.
“Inclusionary zoning is a policy that either mandates or incentivizes developers to set aside a certain amount of new housing units for affordable housing,” said Allison Cook-Davis with ASU’s Morrison Institute.
In this case, “affordable housing” means housing costing 30% or less of someone’s monthly income, which can be hard for many low-income earners to achieve.
