The city of Sedona’s Citizen Work Group on Housing presented its findings at a Plan Sedona community meeting on Wednesday, April 19, at West Sedona School as part of the Sedona Community Plan update process.
The city had described the event in a press release as an opportunity for residents to “share their thoughts on why diverse housing is important for Sedona.” “We want your opinion,” Mayor Scott Jablow told the crowd at the start of the meeting.
“We’re holding this meeting not just to give you information, but to hear you and hear what you have to say. It’s a two-way street.”
“Tonight you’re here to share your vision for the future of Sedona, and I hope you’re deciding that affordable housing needs to be a part of the community plan,” City Housing Manager Shannon Boone instructed the audience before reminding them that affordable housing is housing that costs no more than 30% of a household’s income. For Sedona, that would be $832 per month for an individual and $1,473 per month for a household of two.
