Partnering with the City of Phoenix, the initiative brings landlords, tenants, and courts together to find creative solutions — helping renters catch up on rent and keeping families housed, especially as rent prices soar and wages lag behind. Designed to intervene before formal filings (which hit 80,000+ annually), the program could offer financial aid and mediation, with landlord participation required. Funding is pending approval in next year’s budget, and while details are still being finalized, the urgency is clear: too many households are one paycheck away from losing their homes.
