Tucson must take a more active role in shaping the housing market, city leaders said Tuesday during a discussion about housing affordability and homelessness.
Strategies could include zoning reforms, public investment and city-backed housing development.
Tucson will need roughly 35,000 new housing units over the next 10 years, but city officials warned that potential state and federal funding cuts could slow that effort.
Tucson Mayor Regina Romero leads a round table discussion Tuesday on collaborative work being done to access affordable housing.
