Arizona is experiencing unprecedented heatwaves, and the number of heat-related deaths is rising. Many people are struggling to afford rising energy costs. SHILA is a nonprofit organization that helps homeowners cope with the heat and energy costs. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 44% of Arizona households have an income below the national median income. The Arizona Department of Housing says that 1.2 million Arizonans are "cost burdened" when it comes to housing, meaning that they spend more than 30% of their income on housing. Of the 1.2 million cost burdened Arizonans, 600,000 are "severely cost burdened," meaning that they spend more than 50% of their income on housing. The majority of low to middle income homeowners in Arizona live in Maricopa County, which includes the Phoenix metropolitan area.
