Realtors from 130 Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Service member firms participated in the first annual ‘ ‘Great American V ard Sale,” which raised $175,000 to aid the foundation in its efforts to help homeless families. Donations from concerned readers of Better Home and Gardens Maga­ zine also contributed S1 million to the foun­ dation. With these donations, the foundation has funded programs in 18 cities and towns throughout America, ranging from support for a social worker who counsels sheltered families in Idaho to support for a medical van that brings medical services to homeless children in Massachusetts. Jordan commended Realtors for their hard work toward finding solutions to “ this national disgrace” and urged them to con­ tinue to support charitable efforts at both local and national levels. The National Association of Realtors, the nation’s largest trade association, is the voice for real estate, representing nearly 800,000 members in the real estate industry.

They're living in cars, in church basements, in motels and in shelters, which fill as rapidly as they open,” said Jordan. Jordan divided the homeless into three categories: (1) adult men and women; (2) teenage runaways and throwaways; and (3) homeless families. Jordan said homeless families comprise the fastest growing segment of the homeless population. He explained that The Better Homes Foundation, under the direction of its president, Ellen L. Bassuk, M.D., associate professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, works exclusively to help homeless families. The session also explored the larger issues of family dysfunction, drug and alco­ hol abuse, physical abuse, joblessness and general bad luck, which so often contribute to the demise of the family unit. “ Shelter is not enough,” Jordan said. “ Comprehensive support services must be provided to meet the complex needs of our nation’s homeless families.” REN I AI JREAL ESTATE 2 Bedroom, 1 Bath, Oversized Garage on a spacious 1-1/2 lot. Only $36,000 P en in su la Realty Integrity DALLAS--Thc growing complexity of family homelessness was discussed at a wTap- up session of the Board Leadership Forum of the National Association of Realtors during its 1989 Annual Convention and Trade Exposition here today. David Jordan, editor-in-chief of Better Homes and Gardens magazine and chairman of the board of The Better Homes Founda­ tion, a separate non-profit organization, explained the changing face of homeless­ ness. “ The typical image of the homeless person as an adult male, sleeping on a grate, abusing drugs or alcohol is changing,” Jor­ dan said. “ Today’s homeless could be our grandchildren.” Jordan noted that while estimates vary, there may be as many as 3 million homeless persons in America, of which approximately one third are homeless families. These fami­ lies contain between 500,000 and 750,000 children, half of whom are under the age of five. “ Homeless families are invisible be­ HOUSE FOR RENT NICE AND CLEAN, 4 bedrooms, 2 baths.

The largest increases were in benefits and administrative costs (5.3 percent) and utilities (3.3 percent). Maintenance and utilities accounted for more than half a typical property’s total operating costs, at 26.2 percent each, while taxes consumed 21.3 percent of total ex ­ penses. The Income/Expense Analysis breaks down office building income and expense figures into several categories, including property age, type, and size. Regional data is also included. The study is a handy resource for prop­ erty owners, investors, managers, develop­ ers, appraisers, syndicators, lenders, and other real estate professionals.

In both office markets, however, rising income from miscellaneous sources was able to cushion some of the blow. M iscel­ laneous income jumped 16.7 percent for suburban properties and 11 percent down­ town. Suburban net operating costs stayed relatively stable, growing only 0.7 percent to S4.13 per square foot. Small hikes in utilities (1.4 percent) and insurance costs (2 percent) were reported. Utilities continued to make up the largest portion of total operating costs (28.4 percent), followed by maintenance (23.8 percent). For downtown properties, net expenses climbed 1.5 percent, pushing the total cost Responsibility fitti Ï ■, Ä Xin- P rogressive R ealty , I nc . .'rC-Q k a Super Valu Company Equal Oppotiuniiy Employer, M/1‘711 V Pride EXTRA CHRISTMAS $$$$$ Candidates must have proven suc­ cessful experience in retail super­ market management Background m discount store formats strongly preferred, including all facets o! store operations BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES Equal Opportunity Employer TPIC is an Affirmative Action/ Equal Opportunity Employer Squeezed by falling rents, stubborn vacancies, rent delinquencies, and rising operating costs, office building owners' income fell in 1988, continuing the previ­ ous year’s downw ard trend However, healthy increases in miscellaneous income helped minimize the negative effects. This is reported in the new 1989 edition of the Income/Expense Analysis: Office Buildings, an annual research study pub­ lished by the Institute of Real Estate Man­ agement (IREM). The survey analyzes operating income and cost figures for over 3,400 U.S. and Canadian office buildings, totaling over 460 million square feet of space. As in last year’s survey, suburban of­ fice buildings felt the pinch most. Suburban rents were 4.3 percent lower than for down­ town properties. Loss of potential income due to vacancy and delinquent rents was a staggering 39 percent higher in the suburbs, while total rent collections trailed down­ town projects by 12 percent. But the cost of operating suburban offices was lower--by 11 percent--than for down­ town properties. The biggest difference was in the dramatically lower maintenance and repair costs for suburban properties (SI .26 per square foot, compared to $1.56 for downtown).
