One of the latest reports fro HUD shows good news. There has been a drop in the number of chronically homeless persons in this county. HUD reported that "last year, nearly 32,000 fewer persons lived on the nation"s streets and in emergency shelters." They also reported that local communities across the country report there were 123,833 chronically homeless persons in 2007, compared to 155,623 in 2006 and 175,914 in 2005. This is great news for agencies and groups that have been addressing and trying to champion this issue for years. In an address before the National Alliance to End Homelessness, HUD Secretary Steve Preston said, "We can all be encouraged that we"re making progress in reducing chronic street homelessness in America and with more resources and better reporting, we can continue this trend. But we must also recognize that we have a long way to go to find a more lasting solution for those struggling with homelessness every day."

Paradise Valley In Strong Buyers" Market
Located between Scottsdale and Phoenix, Arizona, Paradise Valley is an affluent area of about 14,000 residents whose higher homes values are helped by favorable zoning. Only single-family homes are allowed as residences, with the majority of homes built on one-acre lots or larger. In addition, there are no property taxes charged to homeowners. In exchange for such hands-off governance, residents forfeit full-service city amenities, and they have to contract separately for such services as waste removal, fire protection and water service.
