TITLE:

Affordable Housing Needs Assessment for the Flagstaff Community Infographic

STAFF RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Informational only. 

Executive Summary:

In partnership with Housing Solutions of Northern Arizona, the City of Flagstaff’s Housing Section co-created an infographic titled “Affordable Housing Needs Assessment for the Flagstaff Community”. Devonna McLaughlin, Chief Executive Office of Housing Solutions of Northern Arizona will be presenting this infographic.

The goal of this informational tool is:
  1. To offer a simple, easy to read document to community members in order to provide relatable data, such as; nearly half of Flagstaff households are low income and over 22,000 of Flagstaff’s neighbors are living with a housing cost burden.  
  2. To illustrate what affordable rent and mortgages are for diverse Flagstaff households.
  3. To confirm the critical need for affordable housing in the Flagstaff community.
 
The infographic sources data from the 2018 American Community Survey, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Council for Community and Economic Research, and Flagstaff’s Multiple Listing Service.
