If passed, Proposition 312 would allow Arizona property owners to apply for a property tax refund if the city they reside in does not effectively eliminate homelessness by enforcing laws against things like public camping or having a sign asking for help at an intersection. It would force cities and towns to criminalize individuals for not having a home and divert resources away from affordable housing and shelters.
This proposition would undercut funding municipalities need to help people who are unhoused and who often suffer from mental health conditions. It also sets a public policy marker that contemplates a pathway for vigilante management of Arizona’s homeless community.
Vote No on Proposition 312 to ensure local governments have the resources they need to help the unhoused and those who need mental health care.
