Valley cities turn to surveys for resident opinions on real estate needs

By Richard Smith | YourValley

For the first time, various Valley cities are taking a team approach to determine the region’s affordable housing needs and resident feedback on the topic, partnering with the Maricopa HOME Consortium.
