This project, funded by a grant from the United Way of Graham & Greenlee Counties, was prepared by the consultant group of GrowAmerica and Norris Design, with assistance from the Southeastern Arizona Governments Organization (SEAGO), and many dedicated volunteers of Graham County’s communities and attendees of public meetings.
Housing is considered affordable when a person's housing expenses (rent/mortgage and utility costs) are no more than 30% of their monthly income. The cost and availability of housing can be affected by many factors including: construction costs, the availability of developable land, land use regulations, property taxes, migration of people into or out of the city, and families' incomes. While people of any income can struggle to find housing that is affordable, families that earn less than the local median income often face more difficulty finding housing that is affordable.
