TUCSON, Ariz. — The state of Arizona is short 270,000 homes according to a recent study by Arizona State University.
On Tuesday, May 21, Governor Katie Hobbs signed HB2720, also known as the"Casita Law," which allows accessory dwelling units to be built on existing property zoned for a single-family home.Logan Havens, the President of the historically designated Feldmans Neighborhood, says the law will help diversify the city.
"The ADU housing policy is just creating a supply of housing stock," he says."And these historic neighborhoods can do it, we can fit it in." Poulos is also concerned about corporations buying up the new ADU housing supply, along with short-term rental companies such as AirBnB.
