Here are the top three stories in Scottsdale today:

1. The Department of Child Safety has provided new details into a case of a Scottsdale grandmother allegedly torturing and murdering her grandson. The case against Stephanie Davis was opened in January but the incidents date back to 2017. Click the link to read the case's harrowing new details. (Arizona's Family)
2. A new program is meant to support landlords' efforts in renting to individuals experiencing homelessness. The program is a partnership between Maricopa County and HOM Inc. — a low-income housing operator. The program will offer financial incentives and risk mitigation funds to help find housing for the county's growing homeless population. (AZ Central)
3. Maricopa County jails are experiencing a health care crisis and consultants are working to fix it. The crisis is largely due to the ongoing staffing issues that are occurring at the county's jails. The consultants have outlined the issues and failures of the jails through an 84-page report.

From our sponsor:

Are you a Scottsdale resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?

Bloomberg recently asked experts where they'd invest $100,000 right now, and many of them had the same answer: fine art.

Thinking you can't afford a Picasso? Well in 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of artwork. A company called Masterworks.io built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares of companies like Apple, but with this investing app, you can unlock this powerful investment.

Meaning, you can invest in shares of million-dollar artwork. And in uncertain times, it turns out, fine art may be a wise investment. Here's why:

• Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
• Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)

To learn more, visit Masterworks.io, where Scottsdale Daily readers can skip the waitlist.
