Arizona proposes turning empty school buildings into affordable housing for essential workers.
Arizona Senator John Kavanagh has introduced SB 1080 to convert underused school buildings into affordable housing for critical workers like teachers, firefighters, and healthcare staff.
The proposal responds to declining public school enrollment—down to 868,690 from over 960,000 a decade ago—and surplus school facilities in districts including Tucson Unified and Kyrene.
The bill requires public input, independent valuations, and a two-thirds board vote for approval, with proceeds reinvested in schools.
While some districts like Flagstaff Unified are already exploring similar plans, success depends on local zoning laws and community support, with no hearing date set.
