The Tucson Alliance for Housing Justice is a coalition of community members and organizations working to address the inadequate supply of affordable and accessible housing, prevent the displacement of households, and reduce the deep racial and ethnic inequalities in housing and ownership in our community.
We formed in 2021 in response to the eviction crisis during COVID and continue to build together for longer-term, systemic solutions for housing justice.
Mission Statement
The Tucson Alliance for Housing Justice shifts mindsets and practices around renting, real estate, and property ownership to prioritize sustainable and equitable relationships with people and the planet.
We acknowledge that all efforts are happening on colonized Indigenous land, and that the colonial roots of property ownership are inherently damaging. We explicitly support restorative efforts such as LandBack.
We also believe that within our current system, property ownership and community control of land can support the security and self-determination of our communities. Housing is a human right and we believe that with cooperation, strategy and support, together we can end the housing crisis.
