Scottsdale study defines affordable housing woes

Many factors put city’s housing out of reach

Scottsdale has a shortage of affordable and workforce housing, at least according to a study presented to the city council on Monday.

A report from consulting firm Matrix, discussed during a council workshop on Nov. 14, found there is a shortage of 16,321 housing units across three tiers of affordability in Scottsdale and another 2,836 shortage of workforce housing units.

What’s causing those shortages are a mix of higher prices, market impacts and even short-term rentals, according to the study.
