Making Progress in Affordable Housing

May 3, 2024 By FBN Leave a Comment

Flagstaff’s housing problem is acute, and I know it can sometimes feel like not enough is being done to address it. I wish we had double the resources to tackle this problem, but we’re making progress – due, in large part, to the partnerships the city has with our non-profit housing partners combined with some smart investments of our resources. Yet, there’s still much work to do. First, I’ll speak to the housing programs led by the city’s housing section and some of the work of our non-profit … [Read more...] about Making Progress in Affordable Housing

Historic Move for Affordable Housing

July 6, 2023 By FBN

Nostalgia for days gone by mixed with gratitude for historic preservation and affordable housing solutions filled the warm summer air as members of three Flagstaff families came together unexpectedly to watch the century-old home that had been an important part of their lives move to another neighborhood downtown. Homeowner Helene Babbitt, who, with her husband, the late Jim Babbitt, bought the house at 12 N. Hillside in 1995, donated the home to Townsite CLT. The local non-profit … [Read more...] about Historic Move for Affordable Housing

Flagstaff Workers Struggle to Find a Way Home

November 4, 2022 By FBN

Clover Jacobs could hardly believe the news when she and her young family had been accepted for a Habitat for Humanity home. She didn’t think she was eligible but then she heard the home would be “a hand up, not a hand out,” and that Habitat helps people get to the next stage in life. Clover shared her story at the Coconino Center for the Arts during the “Arizona Storytellers Presents: Finding Home” event on Oct. 26, a public forum addressing affordable housing challenges in … [Read more...] about Flagstaff Workers Struggle to Find a Way Home

October 9, 2022 By FBN

Fall has arrived. The air is crisp. The leaves are changing to yellows, reds and browns, and students at Coconino Community College are deep into their studies for the semester.

To that end, partnerships, as I have learned, have been a cornerstone of CCC’s efforts, and I would like to spend … [Read more...] about Policing, Affordable Housing, Community College Collaboration: CCC Helping with Community Needs

We’ve had a lot going on this month. I am happy to report that COVID-19 vaccinations have been opened to all 1B essential workers by Coconino County.

Addressing Affordable Housing, Cost of Living

February 26, 2018 By FBN

Hello, Flagstaff! Now that the holidays are over, we at City Hall are back to work and 2018 looks to be a busy year. When the current council set our goals for this term, it was obvious that affordable housing had to be at the top of the list. The cost of living here is legendarily high, and housing is the major factor in that. That said, it’s also not an easy issue to address; otherwise, it would have happened already. The cost of living and the cost of housing have been issues for … [Read more...] about Addressing Affordable Housing, Cost of Living

Addressing Minimum Wage, Affordable Housing, Water Conservation

July 18, 2017 By FBN

Hello Flagstaff! I hope you all are enjoying your summer. As Council wraps up its session, I have been reflecting on what we have accomplished. Governing is often a series of conversations and compromises, and it is through working together that we all succeed, it is by working together that we make progress. When I came into office the most pressing issue in front of Council was the competing timelines between the two minimum wage initiatives passed by the voters in November. After much … [Read more...] about Addressing Minimum Wage, Affordable Housing, Water Conservation
