Filling the missing middle housing shortage in Tucson

Written By Ruffin Slater

Better World Forever is supporting projects that take advantage of Tucson’s new middle housing ordinance.

The ordinance, which was passed on December 16, 2025, makes it easier to build duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and cottage courts citywide.

Councilwoman Selina Barajas said she wants to see residents stay and grow in Tucson, or return to the city as she did, "and middle housing is a step closer to achieve that."
