Study shows need for ‘workforce housing’
As Maricopa strives to achieve its dream of economic sustainability, a serious need most likely must be addressed before that dream may come to fruition – the need for affordable housing.
A study recently conducted by city Development Services, aptly named the Housing Needs Assessment, will be presented to the city council July 18. Part of it indicates this very need for affordable, multifamily housing.
The assessment, according to Maricopa Development Services Director Martin Scribner, underpins the necessity for “affordable housing” which is important to drawing in young professionals in need of low-maintenance rentable living spaces.
