The Director of ADOH must also provide an annual report to the Legislature on the status of the Housing Trust Fund, which includes a summary of the number of individuals served by operation, construction and renovation of housing facilities and the number of individuals benefited from housing assistance (A.R.S. § 41-3955).

a) housing development applications received, including the number of lots and multifamily units included in all development applications;

b) lots and multifamily units approved and disapproved; and

c) total amount of vacant area zoned for single-family, commercial and multifamily residential as a percentage of the municipality's total area. (Sec. 1)

2. Allows ADOH to use up to $100,000 from the Housing Trust Fund annually for the report. (Sec. 2)
