The resolution HCR 2020 expresses the Arizona State Legislature's support for the construction of for-sale housing developments outside the service areas of designated providers, contingent upon specific conditions being met. It emphasizes the importance of home ownership and affordability to Arizona's economy, highlighting a significant housing shortage that requires an estimated 270,000 units to meet current demand. The resolution notes that homeowners have been replenishing groundwater used for their homes since 1995, and that the Central Arizona Groundwater Replenishment District (CAGRD) has facilitated the construction of over 400,000 homes in the Tucson, Pinal, and Phoenix areas without negatively impacting groundwater levels.

The resolution asserts that as long as new housing developments are enrolled in the CAGRD and adhere to the groundwater replenishment requirements set forth by the Assured Water Supply Rules in the Phoenix, Pinal, and Tucson Active Management Areas, the legislature supports their construction. This initiative aims to address the housing crisis while ensuring sustainable water management practices are followed, thereby providing essential shelter for various community members, including workers, families, and veterans.
