The Ground Truth on Housing in Arizona
Arizona’s housing system is out of balance. The state is tens of thousands of homes short, and four in five low-income renters are paying more than they can afford. Nearly 10,000 Arizonans are living without shelter tonight.
This touches every part of life here—the workforce that keeps our towns running, the health of our families, the strength of our economy.
The Arizona Housing Coalition brings partners together to close the gap between what’s needed and what’s built. Because without a stable place to live, nothing else holds.
81% of low-income renters are cost burdened. When rate takes half of your paycheck, everything else comes second.
There is a 14% eviction filing rate in Maricopa County. More than 1 in 7 renter households faced an eviction filing last year.
13,041 people are experiencing homelessness in Arizona in 2025. That’s up 11% from last year.
We are 56,047 homes short statewide. Even with record building, Arizona still lacks more than 56,000 homes today.

We host conferences, workshops, and peer exchanges that share best practices, spark new ideas, and strengthen the field—building the knowledge and networks needed to drive change.
We connect providers and agencies to streamline services for homeless and at-risk veterans, as well as align funding that fills gaps and strengthens housing solutions statewide.
We turn on-the-ground experience into informed advocacy—advancing policies, investments, and accountability that make housing affordable and homelessness rare, brief, and non-recurring.
