TUCSON, Ariz. — The City of Tucson is working toward bringing more affordable housing to the Tucson area. With a $50 million Choice Neighborhood Implementation grant from the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, city leaders have been working through a 10-phase plan. The Housing Affordability Strategy for Tucson outlines the steps toward more housing for people in need.
Sohail Qureshi lives in the Dunbar Neighborhood, just west of the intersection of the new development. He's lived in the area for 40 years and just wants his neighborhood to be safe. Qureshi wondered,"Who exactly would be moving in there is what we would like to know and what is the criteria?” “We should not hold any sort of judgment over people who have hard times. None of them choose to have hard times. It just happens,” said Qureshi. “We want to be an example. ‘Hey, we have affordable housing and look how good these people are.’”
