Housing affordability remains a consistent problem in the West Valley, and the city of Surprise is hoping to do something about it.
Arizona’s unsheltered homeless population has increased by 62% over the last 10 years with the West Valley lacking major resources to alleviate the issue, according to a news release.
Surprise has partnered with the nonprofit organization A New Leaf in efforts to alleviate some of the insecurity. On Friday, July 21, A New Leaf announced the opening of the West Valley Housing Assistance Center.
