As Arizona navigates a post-pandemic economic recovery, the local arts scene will inevitably play a big role in the state's future.

UnAffordable and UnShelteredUnSheltered: Assembly Line JusticeIt's not a crime to be homeless. But survival for unsheltered people sometimes means standing or sleeping in odd places, fighting to maintain space or belongings, and escaping the situation through drugs, all of which often lead to misdemeanor charges. Those who are arrested for low-level offenses like trespassing, disorderly conduct, or simple possession face a justice system where cases are disposed of in minutes, without access to legal counsel, and with lasting impacts on their ability to escape homelessness.

Aging & InAccessibleAging: GrandfamiliesRaising children is hard. Raising a child in your retirement years might be even harder. But that's the reality for more than 70,000 Arizona grandparents. Issues of addiction, incarceration, and mental illness are leaving many Americans unable to care for their kids, so more and more grandparents nationwide are stepping into the role of second-time parent. These "grandfamilies" face emotional, financial, and legal hurdles. But many grandparent caregivers also discover rewarding relationships and say they wouldn't have it any other way.

UnAffordable and UnShelteredUnAffordable: The Balancing ActWhen we talk about the issue of housing, we’re talking about so much more than building one home for one person. Housing is a balancing act among the people who need places to live, the developers who build it, the city that makes the rules, and even neighbors who already live in a place. In part three of this five-part series, Katherine Davis-Young explains, as demand for housing in Phoenix keeps rising, all of the obstacles in the way of housing are only getting more complicated, and affordable housing...that might be the most complicated of all.
