Arizona Housing Coalition (AZHC)

?? This election, Arizona voters will be asked to decide on #Proposition312, a plan that offers property tax refunds to owners who face costs from public issues like homelessness, vandalism, and drug use. While this might sound like a reasonable solution, Proposition 312 doesn't address the real causes behind these challenges. ?? Instead, it creates financial stress for local governments without solving underlying problems and could, in fact, exacerbate the very problems it aims to address by reducing essential services, exacerbating homelessness, and undermining public safety. ?? We urge voters to reject Proposition 312 and instead support comprehensive, well-funded strategies that address these issues effectively and sustainably. #VoteNoOn312 ??
