The president's strategy: a new priority for H/CD
Article Abstract:
Pres Bill Clinton's economic program is expected to have a considerable impact on the housing and community development sector. The president's program considers three factors: the public's belief that there is still a recession, the perception of Americans that the budget deficit is out of control and may never be controlled, and the rare preference of the public for change rather than the status quo. The resulting economic Stimulus package allots $15 billion to stimulate business and another $15 billion to create jobs. The Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is the recipient of the second largest sum of money under the Stimulus package. The HUD will be actively involved in several of the package's projects, including the Community Development Block Grant program, supportive housing for the homeless, and the creation of Enterprise Zones.

Homesteading: a solution for the homeless?
Article Abstract:
Urban homesteading is a simple and effective method for housing low-income families and reversing neighborhood decay within core cities. The Section 810 program of the federal government provides funds for the Local Urban Homesteading Agency (LUHA) to buy federally owned foreclosed property and to resell it to low-income families. The US Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sold 7,946 house in 1988. LUHAs bought 818 houses that year with homesteading funds. New programs provide funds for buying municipally owned single-family properties. Another method can use occupied but abandoned multi-family housing.

Young, homeless and gay: shelters are swelling with a disproportionate number of teens tossed out by society and family
Article Abstract:
Community services in San Francisco, New York, and Portland are finding many gay teenagers homeless on their streets. Statistics are few, but data available shows many of these youth are pushed out by their families who can't cope with their sexual orientation or sexual confusion. Local programs try to educate the youth about HIV and sexually transmitted disease risks, and provide job search assistance, drug and alcohol counseling, and support groups.
