State of housing in Arizona

Housing is the highest cost for most families, underscoring a clear need for change.

Rents increased by about 47% from 2019 to 2022. In Maricopa County, Evictions are at an all time high.

Home prices rose by roughly 56% in the same timeframe.

Long-time Arizona resident, Marcus Dukes, discusses how rent costs have impacted his life and family.

Also, how a lack of impactful legislation has kept him in the vicious cycle of being a forever renter.
