municipal attainable housing; development
HB 2595 requires Arizona cities to ensure that 20% of new multifamily housing units (in projects with 20+ units) are "attainable" for 20 years - meaning priced for households earning up to 120% of the county's median income. Cities can either mandate these units directly or accept developer contributions to local housing funds instead. To support developers, cities must offer incentives like density bonuses, reduced fees, or faster permitting. The bill applies only to new multifamily projects meeting the 20-unit threshold, aiming to increase affordable housing options without imposing direct cost burdens on cities.
