� REQUIREMENTS. (1) Establish administrative mechanism responsible to the chief executive for the purpose
of providing leadership, supervision, and coordination of Workable Progra.m activities.
' (2) Provide explanation for any objectives set during last period which were not achieved.
�
� i. Identify the person and office or agency designated to supervise and coordinate Workable Program activii,iea,
and describe the relationship of such person and office or agency to the chief executive.

�
� 2. For any target, action, or timetable proposed by the community and approved by the Department at the time
of the last certification which has not been met or carried out, provide a detailed explanation of the reasons.
' Attached as Exhibit 1 is the organization chart of the city and
also Exhibit 2 which include many newspaper articles about events
pertaining to the Program since the last submission we believe
1 tliat substantial progress has been macie in all elements of tlie
community improvement program; however, tllere are two areas we
tivish to comment on ; namely, codes and cocle enforcement and
1 citizen participation.
Codes
� We believe that all of our codes meet well above minimum
standards . Nevertheless , we continued to make changes to
improve the various provisions as seen by the attachments
1 (Lxhibit 3) . tiVork is continuing on the preparation of a
new zoning ordinance of which a draft is plannecl to bc com-
pleted during 1�7U . We are waiting for state ac:tion ori
clianges w� intenc� to make in the building code so tliey can
� be adoptea by reference .

Code Enforcement
� In the last submission we indicated that if funds were available
and the scope of the neighborhood development program better
defined tliree more Health Sanitarians for FIousing Code Iilspection
, would be needed. The Neighborhood Development Program is stil
in the planning stage and little change in operatin�; funcls wcre
made available in 1969 . With funds available we addeci one
�iealth Sanitarian for Housing Code inspections , six building
, inspectors for the certificate of occupancy program one staff
person to work with the inspectors and Board ol Appeals and oiie
staff person to function as liaison between community organizatioiis
, and the citizens and city agencies so that improved understancliri�; ,
common goals and agreed priorities will be developed for cocle
enforcement programs . We submit this effort more than meets
1 our intention shown in the last submission.
Citizen Participation
, As is noted in the section on Citizen Participation, St . Paul
has an extensive citizen participation program. To make im-
provements in this area we indicated in the last submission
, that the Health and Planning Council would serve as tl�e
coordinating agency provided funds could be made available
by the city. It was not possible for the city to provide
� funds in the 1969 budget . However, the Health and Planning
Council sought and received financial assistance from several
foundations and effective September 1 , 1969 the Cot�ncil has
assigned staff so they can function as the coordinating
' citizens committee for the Community Improvement Program.
This approach will definitely improve our effort for this
� portion of our program.

2. Describe briefly the procedure established for periodic review, evaluation and updating of the adopted codes
, and ordinances.
(1) The �Iousing Code Review Committee , consisting of inembers from
the Mayor ' s office , Housing Code Program, I3uilding Department ,
, Housing Authority , Corporation Counsel ' s office and the Boarci of
Realtors , reviewecl and evaluated the code in January and ��ebruary , 1 ��t�H .
, The recommended changes in the IIUD Technician ' s Report were
included in the revised Housing Code adopted on July 9 , 1968 , by
the City Council and became effective August 9 , 1J68 . Major chanbes
were : a) provisions to be applicable to all housing in the com-
' munity regardless of previous code requirements , b) every dwelling
unit to be equipped with a toilet and bath facility, and c) proviclecl
for an effective administrative and appeals procedure.
� An orclinance providing for the creation of a Loard of Appeals
and Review for the fIousing, Builclin� and Fire I'revention Cocles was
passeci on July 9 , 1968 , and became effective August J , 1�G8 . '1'his
' seven-man 13oard is appointed by the Mayor and consists of one
representative each from the architectural or engineering profession ,

real estate or building management profession and two representatives
' from the general citizenry. This Board meets every second and fourtli
Wednesdays to review cases . The Board is presently preparin�; a
recommendation to prohibit the use of lead base paints . Recommenda-
' tions from the enforcement agencies have been brought to the 13oarcl ' s
attention for tlieir consideration. *
Further , the Board of Appeals , which is described uncler citizen
' involvement , is requesting comments , suggestions , needed changes
in the provisions of a11 city codes from architects , contractors ,
realtors , labor organizations , civic groups and citizens . lluring
, the coming months these suggestions will be considered and recom-
mendations made to the city departments and city council .
�
The State of Minnesota is still in the process of promulgatin�
, a State I3uilding Code. St. Paul is waiting for them to complete
their action so that we could adopt the State Code if it is acceptable.
The proposal at the present time is to adopt the Uniform Buildinb
Code Uy reference with restrictions to the State ]3uilding Code. '1'he
' last revision of t}ie Building Code was made in Marc}i 1967, ancl pro-
viaed for the updating of the adoption of the Li£e Safety Cocie
N.F . P.A. 101 , 1966 Edition.
,
' The last revision of the Electrical Code was made in January,
1969 , and provided for the adoption of 1968 edition of the National
Electrical Code along with revising the wiring regulation ror
St . Paul .
'
The Plumbing Code Committee as previously described is still
' active and composed of the same people. Presently the committee
is awaiting the development of an acceptable model Plumbing Cocle
which could be adopted. The State Plumbing Code Committee is pro-
� gressing toward a new State Plumbing Code which it appears may be
acceptable to Saint Paul for adoption. It is their intention to
have the State Plumbing Code ready for adoption in the fall of
1969 .

' 3. Identify and justify any major deviations in the codes adopted by the community from the standards set furlh
in the nationally recognized codes as amended, excluding minor administrative changes and revisions. Use
extra sheets if necessary.
' l . Raceway systems are required for wiring. (Exception to National
Electric Code) .
, 2 . Plumbing - Plastic has not been recognized. This is under review.
' 3 . No major deviations from national standards in general con-
struction.
, 4. Describe in general, and to the extent possible quantifiable, terms the longer-range plans and objectives for
using housing, building and related code enforcement to help eliminate and prevent the formation and spread
of slum s and blight.
, We have a certificate of occupancy program conducted by the buildi»�
department to insure continued maintenance of existing structures .
It is anticipated that at least 6 years will be rec{uired to ins�ect
' all buildings not now certified. A continuing and expanding pro-
gram of condemnation and removal of dilapidated structures has been
followed. The Ordinance Violations Bureau ticket system initiatecl
� in 1967 has been used to great advantage in securing compliance.
See Page 3-4-1
1 5. Describe the community's plan of action during the next period for effectively dealing with areas and/or types
of units having high priority need for code enforcement, including both programs to stop blight in �ound but
deteriorating areas and programs to deal with serious threats to health and safety in slum sreas.
Those areas of the city having a high priority need for
' code enforcement will be treated under the current Urban Renewal
Programs or through the Neighborhood Development Programs which
have:been approved by the City Council . The Housing Code Program
' will continue to do systematic selective surveys in those areas
of the city not affected by federally assisted pragrams (Exhibit
4) . The priority for these areas of systematic surveys is deter-
' mined by the percentage of deterioration, quantity and type of
See Page 3-5-1
(a) Explain the basis for the areas and prngram strategies selected. (Attach maps, chart,s or other informa-
' tion as may be necessary to explain the context for the plan of action.)
Prior to delineating a community for systematic code
enforcement , the area is windshield surveyed to determine degree
� of bligliting influence . Computerized census tract data are
evaluated as to the number and types of complaints in proposed
areas . These facts plus our personal knowledge of the city
' are the deciding factors in developing areas for systematic
surveys . Communities which, in our opinion, can be satisi�act�rily
served by this progxam are ciiscussed �vith the lious:i_n� �luthority
ofrice to ascertain if there is a conflict. Upon cleterminin�;
� de£inite areas on this basis , a gradation of urgcncy � s cictc�rrn iric�l

, Question 4
' The intermediate-objectives are to define cornmunities
which qualify for systematic surveys , organize each incliviclual
community, and obtain compliancy.
, The data obtained from the U. S. Census or Iiousin�; :
1960 and the 1967-68-69 windshield surveys revealed the i'ollowin� :
� There are eleven (11) areas in which systematic curveys ca�i be
successfully conducted (Exhibit 4) ; there are approximately
62 , 237 units in these combined areas , of this total 4 ,472
units are considered substandard; it is tentatively proposed that
' these substandard units will be brought into compliance at the
end of 1973 (Exhibit 5) .
� Much of the 1960 Census data are not meaningful at tliis
time . For example: the Saint Anthony Park Area is listed
as having 1 , 531 units containing 113 substandard units , the
windshield survey revealed 1 ,415 units containint 1 , 070 sut�-
I standard units ; the Greater East Side Area is listed as having
11 , 520 units containing 1 , 060 substandard units , the winclshielcl
survey revealed 14 , 323 units containing 555 substandarcl units ;
, the Linwood Area is listed as having 3 ,940 units contaiiiing 233
substandard units , the windshield survey revealed 3 ,084 units
containing 1 ,141 substandard units .
, The windshield survey method appears to be adequate to
achieve the longer-range objective utilizing the present ancl
anticipated staffing. The West Side Area was a testing grouncl
' to determine the statistical significance of this procedure. It
was established that a complete survey is indicated when tlle
exterior environmental criteria reveals violations . These
, criteria contain 39 exterior environmental factors and 1 agc
of structure factor. The criteria were modified for the Saint
Anthony Park Area to facilitate IBM card punching and sortinb
(Exhibit 6) . The creiteria were again modified for the Lin-
, wood Area (Exhibit 7) . The interpretation of the various
factors checked in the criteria which indicate the need of a
survey is as follows : a) Structure built before 1940 (buildin�
, dates obtained from Department of Public Works c{uarter-quarter
section maps) , b) One (1) or more major (M) violation , c)
two (2) or more minor (N) violations . Exhibits 6 and 7 contain
, a list of the factors comprising the creteria. The right
hand column is the accumulative ntxmber of violations by
category.

' Question 4 - continued
The intermediate objective involves a companion
' Complaint Program. The intermediate-range objective is to
eliminate or alleviate pockets of blighting influence in all
areas of the city. It is a program designed to arrest the
, force of blight before more drastic action is renuired. In
1968 the Complaint Program workload comprised over 47a of the
total number of inspections performed. The operating function
, involves processing complaints and referrals from private
citizens , industry, Ramsey County Welfare Agency, llousing and
Redevelopment Authority and violations observed by sanitarians
patrolling their respective areas .
, The referrals for selective surveys based on complaints
from Welfare and the Housing Authority contributes to provicling
' decent housing for people of the lower socio-economic strata.
The systematic survey program and the complaint program
, have a synergistic effect on the total effort to provide a
safe environment for the citizens of Saint Paul . There are
three areas which are being investigated to determine il they will
qualify for a Federally Assisted Code Enforcement Program
, (Exhibit 4) . The 1960 Census indicates that Area 1 has 1 , 544
units with 118 substandard; Area 2 has 3 ,451 units with 331
substandard; Area 3 has 1 ,042 units with 183 substandard.
' It is our plan in the next two years to develop a
rapport with the respective community organizations to determi.ne
, their attitudes to a FACE program. If there is sufficient
interest developed, an educational program will be institutecl
involving the citizens . Once this has been established, a
random sample survey will be performed to determine if t:he
' communities qualify under the established HUD guidelines .
In addition we are progressing on sc}iedule in improving
' the quality of living in censustracts 9 and 10 - a feclerally
aided code enforcement program for some 2 ,000 structures ancl
3 , 000 dwelling units . The program is scheduled for cornplet:ion
' by August 1 , 1971 .
Further, there are some 35, 600 dwelling units in Neigh-
borhood Development areas , proposed Neighborhood Development
, areas and Renewal projects . Within these areas is estimatecl
42 percent of 15 ,000 of the dwelling units have deficiencies .
The systematic enforcement program will be developed in the
' planning phase of these programs for the affected areas .

It should be stated that the workload propose� in
Exhibit 5 will be dramatically increased based on our ex-

range plan for completion of the remaining windshield survey
areas is 1971 . At this time the workload in Exhibit S wi11

' All immediate health and safety problems related to housing
are handled on a complaint basis by the Housing Code Section.
� Such complaints are investigated promptly and, when the condition
is a serious health or safety hazard, orders are issued to
make corrections in as little time as twenty-four hours . 1'he
use of violation tags has been quite successful in obtaining
' compliance in prolonged cases.
Exhibits 8 and 9 summarize the activities in two communities
, which have been undertaken in 1967 and 1968 respectively. T'}�ese
two areas have responded very well to systematic code enforce-
ment . Exhibit 8 shows the progress in the Phalen Park Area
' where systematic enforcement began in 1967 . At that time there
were 1 ,337 substandard units ; in January 1969 , there were
only 350 substandard units . In 1968, the West Side Area was
surveyed and it is estimated that 100 of the 135 substandard
' units will be brought into compliance in 1970.
The educational program for the residents in the West Side
' Area consisted of ineeting with member groups of the Riverview
Citizens Association. Approximately two weeks before the actual
surveys were instituted, information relative to the program
' was mailed to each occupant (Exhibit 10) .
The Procedures for Housin Code Enforcement summarizes tlie
general p an uti ize to en orce t e ousing Code (Exhibit 11) .
' This plan has resulted in the vacation of 43 structures containi�ig
63 units , summary abatement on 26 properties where it was necessary
to utilize funds to correct the problem, and the issuance of
' 156 violation tags . The municipal court has sustaine� 105
tags , denied 28 and there were 23 pending at the end of 1968 .
There were only two cases referred to the Board of Appeals .

� Question 5a continued
� and priority is esta�lished. The number of areas which may
be initially inspected in a given year is determinea by the
backlog of reinspections on previously surveyed areas .
� At least two months are allowed for the completion
of a windshield survey and the mailing of letters and brochures
to the occupants of dwelling units which are to be surveyed.
� The windshield survey is conducted by two sanitarians acting
as a team. The criteria used to determine the need for a
survey are based on age and exterior environmental factors .
� A statistical analysis revealed that violations observed on
the exterior indicate the need for a complete survey of the
structure . The total number of units in the area are determined
� and the addresses of the units to be inspected are recorded.
This information is plotted on a map to indicate pockets of
substandard housing and further verify the need for a
systematic code enforcement program.
� The reasons for using the windshield method are : a)
the better utilization of available manpower , b) creates better
� relations in the community by not inspecting good, well -
maintained structures , and c) ability to concentrate on the
proglem homes in the area.
� The entire Housing Code activities have been placed on
a computerized data system. This new system wi11 provide an
accurate accounting of the status of each unit wliich has been

� 6. Compare the scope of the proposed plan of action with the plans for the previous period in such a manner a�
to show what degree of progress is being made towa,rd achieving the community's longer-range objoctives
, of community-wide compliance.
The proposed plan of action has a greater scope than in
1967-68 due to the use of the windshield survey method of selectinb
homes for complete surveys . This approach will allow us to cover
, a great deal more area of the city although our actual number
of surveys will be relatively constant due to the reinspection
workload and the number of Housing Code personnel . The door-to-
, door survey method would entail surveying units which are obviously
in good condition because of age and/or maintenance.

forcement program described in 4 above, including information with respect to the enforcement of buildin�

' Iri 1969 , all city department budgets were reduced by
13 . 211 percent. A special city council resolution supplemented
the housing code budget and building department budget by autliori-
' zing an additional $30 ,000 for each. I�owever, the impact of
this money was diminished by the effects of the total budget
reduction. The 1969 housing budgets support very little expen-
� ditures for printing, office supplies , educational material ,
photographic supplies , or educational and training programs

� Question 6 - continued
� The previous period for systematic code enforcement
began in 1967 . (Prior survey work was performed in a proposecl
Urban Renewal Area and proved to be unproductive. ) If a
� comparison is made of the Phalen Park Area (Exhibit 8) it is
apparent that the original number of 1 ,337 substandard UI11tS has
been reduced to 350 substandard units . It is felt that a
s.imiiar reduction of substandard units in the West Side ,
� Greater East Side, Saint Anthony Park and Linwood Areas will
be accomplished. An influencing factor in achieving the
longer-range objective is an increase in staff. The employ-
� ment of competent individuals containues to be a serious
issue. We anticipate adding to the staff in the middle of
1969 .
, The above statements are contingent on the aUility
of landlords and home owners to obtain loans compatible with
their incomes . Another factor to eonsider is the ease with
/ which individuals will be able to engage building tradesmen
to effect the necessary repairs . The Appeals Boarcl has had
a number of these cases in early 1969 which taxed their
� ingenuity to equably settle this complex problem.
The proposed plans are the Bureau' s most ambitious
� to date. Additional staff would contribute greatly in achieving
city-wide compliance by 1974 .

as well as no funds for regional travel .
� Presently there are eleven sanitarians assigneci to the llousi.nk
Code Section. There are funds available to increase the stafl� to
� fourteen sanitarians . The perennial problem of obtainin� coir►petcrit
personnel prevents us from increasing the staff at t}lis time. 'I'}ic
City Civil Service Bureau has announced openings for saiii.tar.ians .
I The Housing Code Section will continue to perform surveys in
designated areas and process complaints consistent with available
manpower. The Housing Code Section, besides enforcing the Ilousi,i�
, Code , also enforces the Public Nuisance Ordinance ; Abandonecl
Vehicle Ordinance; Dumping Ordinance; Weed, Thistles , Grass Orcli.nance ;
Animal Nuisance Ordinance and the Rodent and Vermin (:ontrol Orcli�iaricc.
� The Housing Code staff is carrying a workload within its
capabilities , however, the Section is unable, with the present stall' il��; ,
to accelerate or expand its programs . The programs projectecl throu�;li
� 1973 are based on the present staff capabilities to obtain re��sonable
compliance with the various codes .
1 The fire prevention inspection program will continue in 196J ,
1970 and 1971 at the 1968 level of 11 employees .
The building department because of. charges made by its cert� -
, ficate of occupancy program, added six inspectors in 1969 over 1968 .
This level may" be slightly increased by 1.971 .
� The following table compares for the Health Bureau , 1�irc Pre-
vention Bureau, and Building Department 1968 expenditures and nwnber
of employees with 1969 budget appropriation and number ol employc�s .
� TABLE 1
, In addition to the number of employees shown in Table 1 cliArin�;
1969 , there are seven inspectors employed in a federally aiclecl
� neighborhood improvement program. Further, as action programs
develop from the Planning Phase in the NeighUorhood llevclopment
areas , additional inspectors will be added.
� To increase the efficiency and effectiveness of cocie enforcemcilt
our resources are being increased in two areas .
� First , we have found that an educational approach workiri� wit}1
neighborhood organizations is necessary to achieve cocle compliai�cc

1. Describe the status of the community's general plan with respect to its completion and adoption, and indi-
� cate the nature and status of each of the functional plans or components that constitute the general plan
(e.g. land use, transportation, housing, community facilities, public improvement programs, etc.)
The Comprehensive plan for the city of Saint Paul was completed
' in 1963 and adopted by the City Planning Board. Limited fundin�
has prevented extensive updating. However, much progress has
been made and indicated as follows :
, A. Land Use Plan - completed in 1959 . There is presently -
under preparation a Land Use Inventory and an Economic
Base Study.
' B. Transportation - completed in 1963. City agencies are
working with state and metropolitan officials in developing
� a transportation plan for the metropolitan area. St. Paul ' s
former city engineer was hired by the Metropolitan Council
in May 1969 to coordinate the preparation of this plan.
, C. Housing - Previous submissions have included reports on
housing by the City Planning Commission. In June, 1969
a final report on A Housing Inventory Study of the City
, of St . Paul was completed. An ad hoc committee representing
government , business , financial institutions and labor was
organized in July, 1969 to examine housing market nec;cis
� for the city and direct their attention to action pro�;rams
that will meet such needs . The committee is chaired t�y

' D. Community Facilities - This was completed in 1963 . It has
been updated continuously since then - see 1968 and previous
submissions . The most recent work is in the education

increased control authority was given to a capital planning
commission.
' E. Public Improvement Program - The 1969 state legislature
continued bonding authority of $4 , 500 ,000 for two more years
' to carry out our five year public improvernent program. 1969
to 1973 program was submitted with 1968 submission. The 1970
program will be available in the fall of 19G9 and will be
transmitted at that time . See Exhibit 12 .
' F. C. R.P. - Work is being . rapidly completed on the CRP. It is
contemplated that the finished CRP will be an important eleme�it

' In the Nei hborhood Develo ment Pro ram f
g p g or 1969-1970 , the
following studies will be undertaken by the Saint Pati1 llotis in�
' and Redevelopment Authority, and all are scheduled for complet:i.oi�
prior to submission of the NDP Application for 1970-1�)71 .
, 1 . Exterior Building Condition Survey
A field survey shall be made of all buildings in the West
' Midway,, Thomas-Dale , Payne-Minnehaha, Central Core , Seveii
Corners and West Seventh Street N1)P areas to provide a
structure rating and classification for each buildin�; to
determine the extent of substandard conditions , major
, structural deficiencies , minor deficiencies , and sounct
buildings .
' 2 . Density Study
The density of buildings in the six NDP areas will l�e
' analyzed and the analysis will be expressed as dwelling
units per acre per block in the residential areas ancl as
floor area ration per parcel in industrial and commercial
areas . Recommendations will be made as to the planning
' implications of the residential and commercial densities .
3 . Environmental Deficiencies Survey and Analrsis
' Each of the six NDP areas will be surveyed to determine tlie
existing environmental deficiencies such as over-crowding
or improper location of structure on land ; obsolete building
' types ; detrimental land uses ; unsafe , congested, poorly
designed or otherwise deficient structures ; and inadec{uate
public utilities or community facilities contributing to
' substandard living conditions or economic decline.
4 . Classification of Typical Buildings for Rehabilitation
, A cross section of properties in the six NDP areas rec{uiring
both major and minor rehabilitation will be classified on
the basis of age, type of structure, size, degree of
, deterioration, etc . , and will be used as the basis for
selection of typical properties for the development of
residential and non-residental rehabilitation standards .
' S . Completing llisplacement Study
' An estimate of displacement activities which will compete
with NDP renewal for available and program resources on :x
year-to-year to basis for a five year period will be made.
The analysis will take into consideration renewal activities
, and other project areas ; State, County, or City highway
construction and City code enforcement.

'
' 6. Bli htin Influence Stud
� y
, A survey and analysis will be made of all buildings in the
six NDP areas of all substandard buildings to determine the
nature and extent of blight as exerted by tlieir presence and
, use or their relationships to other properties .
7 . Metropolitan Economic Analysis
' A general economic analysis of the Saint Paul Metropolitan
area based on review of secondary data as well as discussions
with government leaders, business leaders , University economists
, and other concerned individuals . Factors to be considered in this
analysis will include : population growth, population character-
istics , employment, construction trends , land use patterns , and
' circulation patterns . Anticipated changes in social character-
istics will also be evaluated. Factors such as changes in
age profile, racial composition, family size , family income
and other socio-economic characteristics will be analyzed to
, provide a basis for the Economic Marketability Analysis
Study (EMAS) .
' ' 8. Land Use Market Demand Analysis - Central Core
As part of the EMAS, a land use market demand study in the six
, NDP areas will be undertaken to evaluate and provide planning
recommendations relating to land use demand potential for
Central Core office commercial , retail commercial , transient
commercial , industrial and institutional , and high density
, residential land uses . A specific study of the Central Core
economy will be made to determine future land use market
demand including an evaluation of the evonomic impact of new
' physical development affecting the Central Core such as :
impact of the freeway system; impact of Capital Centre
Project (Minn. R-20) ; impact of other publir building con-
struction; and impact of other new commercial development .
' 9. River Front Stud - Central Core and Seven Corners
, This study will deal with the economic potential and problems
involved in development of the River Front land and the
potential economic benefits that might accrue from such
, development .
10 . Land Use Market Demand Analysis - Seven Corners
, As part of the Economic Marketability Analysis Study, an
evaluation will be made for market demand potential in tlic
Seven Corners Area for various land uses including : llosp:it�i.ls ,
' existing facilities and expansion potential ; medical oft.ices
and related uses ; specific residential uses such as nurses '
housing; and other institutional , industrial and comrncrcial
' _ 6-3-3 _

uses. This analysis will also evaluate the impact of several
' major public and semi-public development projects , inclucling
a proposed hospital complex and a proposed State Meclical School ,
and the auditorium complex expansion, with particular attent � on
' given to the impact of changing socio-economic trends oli the
demand for medical facilities . As part of this study , a spccial
}iospital land use demand analysis will deal with the �uture �Ic-
mand for hospital and other related institutional :facilitic;s in
, the Seven Corners area through 1980. This analysis will co�isi5t
of personal interviews with hospital administrators, state aricl
local health officials and other medical groups to ascerta:in
' current attitudes toward the nature of the demand for additioiial
hospital facilities .
11 . Industrial Land Use Demand Anal sis -
' West i way - Sout Saint nt ony ark Project Area
The purpose of this study will be to determine the cl�mand for
' industrial land in the West Midway area and to establish a
profile of the type of industrial user in West Midway and the
overall strength of industrial development. In undertaki.ri�;
' this study, field surveys and personal interviews with execu-
tives of selected industrial firms in West Midway will be llilcJC
in order to determine future facilit� requirements ; pro-
blems with existing facilities ; expansion facilities rec{uirecl
' to remain in the area; and timing of new facility require-
ments ; attitudes toward staying in the area; and averagc
price/rental willing to pay. The study will also include
' an analysis and evaluation of the "strip" commercial facili.tics
along University Avenue. Interviews will be made with
selected merchants and merchant organizations to establis}i
' the overall economic health of these "strip" areas ancl tlic
degree to which rentention and enhancement is economically
feasible.
' 12 . Railroad Relocation Study - West Midway
This study will involve analyzing the feasibility oi railroad.
' relocation in the West Midway area and will deterrni.iie various
methods by which such relocation could be accomplishecl.

Because the specific requirements and objectives.: of the Neighbor-
' hood Development Program limit the funding of loans and grants
to an annual cash-need basis , specific five or six year goals
cannot be effectively translated at this time into concrete pro-
' posals for the West Midway, Thomas-Dale, Payne-Minnehalia, Central
Core , and West Seventh Street NDP Areas which are now in plariniiig .
With respect to these areas , it is necessary that the Saint: I�aul
Housing and Redevelopment Authority; the various departments oi'
' City Government ; and the Project Area Committees , which are now
being establi�shed in each of the new areas ; develop a gene.ral
plan for each community and determine specific renewal activities
' which are to be undertaken during the s.econd or reservation.
year (1970-1971) . This planning effort will also result in
funding estimates necessary for the third year (1971 -1972) of
' the program. Thus , while the long range goals have generally
been identified as a result of the community renewal program and
the capital improvements budget , the NDP planning process , whic}�
will attempt to incorporate CRP and CI13 applicable progran►
' recommendations , is intended to be a continuous and on-going
process , with a specific committment to the active participatior�
of area residents and formulating development goals and objectivcs
' for the community which provide a degree of flexibility which
will in turn, permit the City and the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority to act promptly in dealing with development opportunitics
' as they arise .
The Summit University and the Auditorium portion of the Seven
Corners Project will be carried out during the first or action
, year (1969-1970) of the Neighborhood Development Program, ancl estimatc
estimates for activities to be carried out in those areas during

� The estimate of vacant and

"Housing Inventory Study" , prepared by the North Star Research and
� Development Institute , which indicates vacancies by price or

1 . 5o vacancy rate , appears to have been substantiatecl by two
� other recently completed studies , the "Land Utilization ancl
Marketability Study for the Summit-University UrUari IZenewal

Information on number of substandard units will be updated by
I this current year ' s planning of seven NDP areas . These communities
contain the vast majority of the City' s substandard }iousing ,
and the housing surveys made during the NDP Planning process
� will provide the Housing Authority with more precise statistics
on housing conditions .
One effort to develop a continuing inventory of low and moderate
I income housing needs and vacancies is the addition of a I�ousin�
Economist to the staff of the Saint Paul Housing and Reclevelop-
ment Authority. This new staff inember, Mr . Ghulam M. Samdani ,
� holds a Ph. D in Housing and City Planning from Cornell University.
His major staff assignment will be the development of a continu-
ing inventory and analysis to determine housing needs and

be at the disposal of the City Planning Board, the City llirector
of Research, and others as required. It is anticipated that

The above vacancy rates are derived from the North Star llousin�
Inventory Study of the Spring of 1969 . These rates indicate a
i very tight housing market in Saint Paul . This situation is also
true of the Minneapolis - Saint Paul SMSA and is the result of
fast population growth rates , high interest rates ancl tight
, money and rapidly rising construction costs .

' 2 . St . Paul Board of Appeals - continued
, The Board of Appeals may , with the approval of the
City Council , modify the notice or order and may grant
an extension of time for the performance of any act
' required as long as such extension is in the intcrest
of public health, safety and welfare.
An individual aggrieved by the final decision of the
' Board may file an action seeking review of the clecision
by the District Court .
' An important area of responsibility with which the
Board is charged is to review the Housing, 13uilding
and Fire Prevention Codes and recommend to the Mayor
and City Council any changes needed to maintain modern
' and enforceable codes . The Board is currently preparing
to contact architects , contractors , realtors , labor
organizations , civic groups and other interested partie5
' for recommendations as to any changes they feel axe
necessary . It is hoped that this will create further
citizen participation in government by allowing the
' citizen yet another means of being heard.

, the modernization program. Colors of building paint
both inside and outside, locatic�ns of new tct lots
and what they will contain, home improvements and
maintenance services have been the topics of the
' group . There also have been numerous resident
meetings with architects regarding the pians for
new gymnasiums located in each of the public housing
' areas .
Many tenants have been hired in maintenance, clerical ,
' and secretarial jobs and also as case aides. During
the summ�er, youth were also hired to work, particularly
in the project area on the grounds and supervising
tot lots .
, The Tenant-Management Committees have been active in
many community projects , sponsoring clean-up cam� :
, paigns , working for street signals , traffic signs ,
sidewalks , new and better playgrounds in the area,

' Association of St. Paul Communities
A non pr� it c�rp�rati�n •rganized by neighborrood
and community groups to promote and coordinate
' community development and improvement in St. I'�.ul .
This corporation, repxesenting seventeen various
organizations , identifies and studies individua.l
, community and citywide problems , as well as en-
courages resident interest an participation in
responsible community organizations . It also
promotes effective exchange of information among
, Saint Paul communities , the government, and public
and private agencies at all levels . This group acts
on issues and problems affecting individual
' communities and the City as a whole so that the
benefits of Saint Paul residency might be achieved
for every inha;G�itant of the City. In advising
residents and community organizations on neighbor-
� hood problems of organization, planning and acting ,
the group has heard from representatives of govern-
ment , private industry, social service and directly
� affected parties as it deliberates and selects a
posture from which to operate. All of the existing
community groups , with the exception of the develop-
, ment corporations , belong to the Association of
Saint Paul Communities .
Neighborhood Development Program (NDP)
, The Project Area Committee (PAC) in each NDP
community will act as the forum for all discussion
' and activities under the program. One of the
objectives of establishing a preliminary Steering
Committee is to determine how to selECt PAC members
, so that the resulting PAC is broadly representative
and includes members from a variety af interests in
the community. Coordination between various citizen
participation structures located in the same com-
' munity will be the responsibility of the Community
Health and Welfare Planning Council , which is the
agency that will be responsible for initially
� organizing the individual PAC' s and employing staff
to provide technical assistance to them.
The Community Health and Welfare Planning Council
' is the independent social planning and coordinating
council of the community and as such is the group
which can most effectivel.y operate as the coordinator
, and technical advisor to the various neighborhoocl
PAC ' s , particularly as they develop their neighbor-
hood self-analysis and attempt to meet uncoverecl
� need with a comprehensive problem solving program.
The coordination of the neighborhood PAC' s by one:
over-all agency strengthens the total program. '!'1le
Saint Paul HI2A has formally contracted with the
'

'
Community �iealth and Welfare P�.anning Council ,
making the Council the organizing and coordinating
, agency for the PAC' s .
In the Phalen Area Community there are currently two
, renewal programs moving conjointly, The Phalen Area
Neighborhood Improvement Program (FACE - E2) in
census tracts 9 and 10 , and the Neighborhood Devel-
' opment Program (NDP) in the Payne-Minnehaha Community .
The Phalen Area Community Council (PACC) provides
a liaison apparatus for the residents of the two
' areas .
Public Housing Community Grou�s
' The Public Housing Community Groups , described in
Item 1 . (a) above, coordinately with social agencies
and organizational groups in their surrounding and
' immediate area such matters that are common to both
private and public housing residents .
The Block Parent Program is sponsored by the
� Jackson-j9heelock Neighborhood Council , the school
P .T.A. and the Day Care Center in McDonough Homes .
' The residents of Roosevelt Homes and the neighboring
residents planned a new bymnasium which will be
located just outside Roosevelt Homes .
' The building is intended to service the entire
Community and not just the project residents .
' The residents have worked with other civic organi-
zations on many projects , such as , protesting junk
yards in their neighborhoods , complaining about a
' public Nuisance , obtaining a signal light at a
dangerous street crossing, and others .
' The public housing groups are coordinated only in
the sense that they belong to the Association of St.
Paul Communities . However, there are some beginning
efforts to coordinate their efforts on a more direct
' basis through the agency of the Community Services
staff of the Saint Paul Housing and Redevelopment
Authority.
' Low and Moderate Income Housing Groups

The Housing and Redevelopment Authority is currently
coordinating activities of citywide housing sponsors . '
The Authority assists these groups through clis-

Activities o low- and moderate-income hou: ing
' sponsors in the Summit-University community- will
be coordinated through the Model Neighborhood
Planning Council and the Housing and Redevelop-
' ment Authority. The Model Neighborhood Planning
Council is exploring proposals for the development
of low-income housing sponsors in the Summit-
llniversity community will be coordinated through
� the Model Neighborhood Planning Council and the
Housing and Redevelopment Authority. The Model
Neighborhood Planning Council is exploring
' proposals for the development of low- income
housing projects and is working with neighborhood
groups to obtain non-profit sponsors .
' The HRA's Early Land Acquisition Program (now
converted to NDP) is in the process of assembling
sites for four low- and moderate- income housing
projects under the FHA 236 Program. The Authority
' has already selected four indigenous non-profit
sponsors for these sites and are working with
the sponsors and their architects in developing
' preliminary plans . Construction on these sites
should begin in early 1970 , and total some 265
units .
, In addition to the Section 236 developments , the
Authority is in the process of acquiring 100
large single-family homes , writing the cost
' down to reflect necessary rehabilitation, and
then selling these homes to the Community Develop-
ment Corporation (CDC) . CDC will rehabilitate
' the homes and sell them to displaced low- income
families under the FHA 235 Program.
2 . Describe the arrangements or working relationships set up to
' provide groups and individuals opportunities for access to and

' Renewal Programs
� In neighborhoods where renewal programs are in operation
site offices have been established for immediate access
in the neighborhoods affected by the programs . The I31ock
Contact Program in the Summit-University renewal area,
� the Block Rehabilitation Meetings in Concord Terrace ,
the Policy Committee (three City Commissioners and three
area citizens) , B1ock Meetings , and Workshops of the
' Phalen Area Neighborhood Improvement Program are other
examples of opportunities made available to citizens
to participate in both instructional and decision-making
' processes .
- 20-2-1 �- l ��
'
'
� Neighborhood organizations and planning councils are
speciaifally established to respond to the needs of
residents as they are expressed, by individuals or
through the organizations to which they belong.
� Neighborhood Development Pragram (NDP)
' A site office is planned for each of the NDP areas
functioning with a Project Area Committee - Thomas-
Dale, West Seventh Street, West Midway - South Saint
Anthony Park, Payne-Minnehaha - to provide a centrally
� located working space for the technical staff of
the Authority. The PAC office will be a neighbor-
hood office with meeting space and office space
' for the community organizer and clerical staff as
needed. The PAC office will serve as the prim:iry
information center for the respectiv� area, wif:h
' inquiries referred to the Authority 's site off_�ce
as need dictates . (Eventually, it is anticipated
that the PAC and the Authority staff will share one
office. ) The two offices will be the hub of plannin�
' activities in the community and will provide a
neighborhood setting for the sharing of in£ormation,
ideas , questions , proposals , and alternatives .
rTo assist the PAC in its initial formative efforts
and its later efforts to involve as many citiaens as
, possible in the planning process , each PAC will be
provided with funds to hire a community organizer.
The Authority assumes the community organizer should
be responsible to the PAC and not to the Authority
' and, therefore, has contracted with the Community
Health and Welfare Planning Council to assist the
communities with the initial phase of organization
' and to contract with each PAC for the employment
of a community organizer of their chuice .
Since participation wi11 be required during the entirc
' planning process , it is important to see how that
process is envisioned for the first year of NDP
participation.
, The two initial steps toward the development of plans
for the NDP area include the establishment of the PAC,
, as described above, and the thorough ana detailed
study of the community' s conditions and resources ,
the latter being primarily the re�ponsibility of the
� Authority. While the PAC is familiarizing itself
with the community, its problems and assets and the
general feelings and attitudes of the residents of
the community, it should also begin working toward
� a clearly defined set of planning objectives aiid
goals .
' - 20-2•2 -
1 S�)
'
'
� This can be done through sub-groups formed to .atudy
specific aspects of community needs , reporting
regularly to the entire PAC and the assigned Ai�thority
personnel to insure a coordinated an3 unified ;�pproach
, and to provide all concerned with the benefit c�f
the findings . While the PAC is engaged in these
efforts , the Authority will be undertaking the detailed
� study and survey work necessary to obtaa.n a com-
prehensive and detailed understanding of the community ' s
problems ; for example, studies of builcling conditions ,
� land use studies , circulation studies , utility surveys ,
and studies of social problems and needs . The results
of these studies will be provided to the PAC as soon
as obtained so the PAC may have the benefit of that
� information. During this same period, the Authority
working with the PAC, will meet with representatives
of the various City Departments to determine plans
, and possibilities for future improvements .
From these studies and surveys the PAC and Authority
i planners assigned to the community will begin to
develop a general plan for the area. This phase may
be lengthy and complicated because many proposals
and alternatives will need to be considered and
� discussed before any general agreement can be reached.
The PAC and Authority planners must also determine
� what activities should begin during the second year
of the program. The Authority staff and City departments
will continue to provide technical assistance.
1 Toward the end of the first planning year of the NDP,
the application for the second year 's funds must be
prepared. In this regard, the PAC must provide a
� statement on the " . . . timing, location, and
appropriateness of activities planned for the urban
renewal area". (Quote taken from the NDP l�andbook)
rThe planning process as herein outlined is necessarily
flexible and subject to adaptation by the various
PAC' s Citizen participation in the process , however
� adapted, is insured by: the establishment of a
site office and PAC office, provision of a community
organizer, presence of an Authority planner at the
� site office, and the requirements of the NDP application .
Public Housing Community Groups
� In each of the public housing areas , in addition to
the overall community council which operates as thc
vehicle for neighborhood involvement in mattcrs o1�
� community concern and imgrovement , the Department
of Community Services of the Housing Authori'ty has
established as an adjunct of the community council
, a Tenant h4anagement Committee which meets regularly
to discuss and to work out the details for improved
, - 20-2-3 - 1.6O
�
' communication, decision-making and change in ac:minis-
trative procedures which affect the xesidents rf public
housing. These committees are organized by the tenants
with the assistance of the Authority tenant adti�isor,
, and meet on a regular basis with managers af tl�e various
projects to discuss matters of mutual concern and to
establish meaningful changes in the patterns of
� public housing administration with the project� .
Low and Moderate Income Housing Groups
� Citywide -
The Planning Department of the Housing and Redevelop-
, ment Authority provides coordination of citywid.e
housing programs . Members of the planning staff
attend community meetings to inform groups anci
� individuals of Authority activities and opportunities
to sponsor low- and moderate-income housing, 'The
Authority' s technical staff assists interested
sponsors by disclosing advantages of alternative
� programs and assists them in preparation of feasible
proposals .
� Summit-University
The goals of the program during the one-year planning
� period are to bring about broad-based citizen involvement
in suggesting and carrying out program proposals and to
come up with new and imaginative solutions to Summit-
University' s social and economic problems .
� Eight task forces composed of local agencies , state
agencies and neighborhood organizatians will be
� established to continue problem analysis during the
planning period. An add_�tional team will study ways
to carry out the multi-agency prograrr�s and activities
� suggested by the task forces . The Housing Authority
will work closely with these task forces in developing
housing proposals .
' The Authority is currently working with CDC, St. Paul-
Minneapolis Development Corporation, Racial ancl Economic
Integration Planners (REIP) , Midwest Improvement
� Association, St . James AME Church, Christ Temple
Church , and Pilgrim Baptist Church on the Development
of low- and moderate- income housing in the Summit-

� The Authority also maintains three fielcl offices in
the Summit-University area for the convenience of
neighborhood residents . These offices are staffed
� with community organizers and housing specialists to
advise and assist residents in understanding the
renewal housing programs .

In addition, a block contact program has been :.nitiated
' to aid residents of Summit-University by estab� isliing
a communications network for the dis�emination and

' neighborhood understanding of the renewal program and
encourage the participation of all residents ir� the
renewal of the community through the Model Neighborhood
� structure .
Phalen Area Neighborhood Improvement Program
, Workshops for residents have been held at the site
office at 1185 Payne Avenue, and coffee sessions
have been held in homes of residents , with staff
� and residents participat:ing as resource persons for
information, instruction, and solicitation of
recommendations for the processes of the Code

� St . Paul Board of Appeals
The Board of Appeals has three primary functions :
r to hear appeals from citizens who wish to challenge
the procedures or findings housing or building
inspection; to recommend appropriate action; to
I review the present Housing Building and Fire
Prevention Codes and to solicit from architects ,
contractors , realtors , labor organizations, civic
� groups and other concerned parties recommendations
for changes or modifications in the Codes . The
Board currently has some 700 inquiries in process .
, Any decision of the Board may be appealed to the
District Court. As of March 31 , 1969 , the Board
has heard 10 appeals , four of which have been
, resolved, two denied and four pending final action.
As the Certificate of Occupancy program of the Building
Department is now in full swing, it appears that
� many of the appeals will concern such certificates .

1 Phalen Area Neighborhood Improvement Program
In 1965 the Phalen Area Community Council was formed ,
, as the direct result of a professional study rnade
of the seven-census tract Phalen Park Neighborhooci.
The primary recommendation following from tlie study
was to secure a renewal and Code �nforcement pro�ram
' for the most blighted and deteriorating sections .
This objective has consumed most of the energy ancl
attention of the Council and has resulted in :
, l . A three year improvement program (FACE-E2) for
census tracts 9 and 10 ;
� 2 . A struggle with problems of communication,
resolved through newsletters , flyers , block
meetings , workshops , newspaper items ;
� 3 . Revitalization of the Payne Avenue Businessmen' s
Association , now enlisted in comprehensive
, planning for the Avenue and the area;
4. Securing from the City Council a six-m onth' s
, stay on a spot re-zoning a�ea within the
renewal project and forming a residents '
committee to work with city planners in clevelopin�
a plan for the zoning area in question;
� 5. Securing a Policy Committee of City Officers ancl
Community Council members to review and direct
' procedures and objectives of the Neighborlioocl
Improvement Program.
Concord Terrace
' Since its formation six months ago and even prior to
that time before it officially was designated, tl�e Rio
, Vista Citizens Planning Council has participated in
numerous activities effecting the Concorcl Terrace
neighborhood. This group has :
, 1 . Consistently fought to prevent encroachment on tlic
renewal plan by several oil companies who have
wantecl to �en gas stations ncar the LaI'ayct.t.r

, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority anc� the
neighborhood by attempting to explain to iiei.ghbor-
hood residents many of the intricacies ot the
' renewal plan.
3 . llemonstrated interest in moderate- income housing .
� Many of the members , along with the Neighborhood
House, will be forming a non-profit organizat:ion
to sponsor badly needed moderate- income housing
in the triangle area of the renewal pr�ject .
, 4 . Been working with the Highway Department in an
attempt to secure proper vehicular control devices
' near the Lafayette Freeway so that children
attending Our Lady of Guadalupe School can be
provided with safe passage to the school .
' Summit-Universit
� Summit-University Federation, Inc.
Indicative of the nature and range of issues the Federation intencls
to become involved with are the following objectives :
, 1 . To aid in the development of effective programs oi direct
action and to involve as many people and organizations
' as possible in the development and execution of such
programs through the combined efforts of the membership
and resources of each member organization or agency alici
' the Federation' s standing committees .
2 . To disseminate information regarding the rehabilitation
and development programs to neighborhood residents
� through the member organizations and other means .
3 . To provide a means whereby a concensus of community
, viewpoints and concerns may be established and expressed
as one voice on such matters as social and physical
renewal and community development.
� 4 . To strengthen neighborhood organizations to meet the
specific needs of their localizeci areas . .
' S . To provide liaison between the community ancl �the 5aint
Paul I�ousing and Redevelopment Authority and other
organizations and agencies , public ancl private .
' More specifically , some of the basic community issues which the
Fecleration has faced and has attempt:ed to resolvc t�irougli tli'ei.r-
� various committees are : -

, nit Cornmunication Police Community
Recreation, Education, Commu y ,
Relations , Neighborhood Clean-up and Rodent Control , and community
, cooperation toward positive goals . The Planning Committee has
and continues to meet regularly witli the Housing and Redevelopment
Authority planning staff during the planning stage of the urban
, renewal project in an attempt to ma:intain open c:ommunication in
the community.
' Neighborhood Development Program
Prior to funding of the NDP program, in May, •1969 , participation
, was related to whether or not an area would be included in the
NDP application, the boundaries of that area, initial fact findin�;
of the ad hoc PAC steering committees , and organizational work
, for the formation of the PAC' s . As discussed previously, in
the four residential areas - Thomas-Dale, West Seventh Street ,
the residential portion of West Midway-South Saint Anthony Park,
and Payne-Minnehaha - - existing community organizations , with
' the addition of all other interested residents , voted on inclusion
in the NDP application. Inclusion of the Central Core , Seven
Corners , and the industrial portion of West Midway-South Saint
' Anthony Park was based on agreement by existing business organi-
zations in those areas .
In the West Seventh Street area, Authority staff helci several
, meetings with resident committees , and as a result of recom-
mendations of one of these committees , the Authority enlargecl
the boundaries of the area to include a primarily resiclential
, area previously included in the Seven Corners area. In We:st Micl-
way-South Saint Anthony Park, the residents sperifically votecl
to determine whether or not the residential portion shoulc= bc
� excluded and area boundaries change�3; as mentio�ied, the residents
voted to include the residential portion. The �esident gYOUp also
recommended that the name of the area be changed from the initial
"West Midway" to "West Midway-South Saint Anthony Park" tc� be
' more representative of the two relatively distinct portior�s of
the area. This change was carried out by a resolution by the
Commission of the Authority and the regional office of liUI► was
' advised of the name change .
Each of the residential communities is now engaged in thc initial
, stages of forming their PAC. Assistance is being providecl by
the Community Health and Welfare Planning Council . As yet , none
of the communities have elected a PAC or hired a community organizer ;
rather they are in the process of determining hc�w the PAC shoulcl
, be selected , how all elements of the community can be representecl,
and what additional information is required at this time re�arclin�;

the program. The Authority has provided and will continuE. to
� provide all information requested by the Steering Committee, its
sub-committees , and eventually the PAC. Several of the Steering
Committees have already begun to look for available office space
, in the community which would be centrally located and suitable
as a PAC office.
' PUBLIC HOUSING COMMUNITY GROUPS
The Tenant-Management Committees have been active in a broad
, range of community projects as mentioned in the preceding Item
1 (c) . The different groups and councils in public housing, as
well as the Tenant-Management Committees , were/are involved in
, projects ranging from tot lots to structures and have made known
their view points and recommendations in each area. This action
has provided the Authority with information as to what residents
themselves want to see in their community and plan accordingly .
� Some examples of the issues dealt with are as follows :
1 . �t the time the public housing modernization program was
' first started, special committees were organized by the
residents to work with the HRA in planning the gymnasiums ,
home improvements , and landscape improvement:s . These
committees were instrumental in making decisions affecting
, the physical rehabilitation of Roosevelt and McDonough Homes
and the plans for the Community Building at both projects .
Initially , the HRA proposed to paint the units at Roosevelt
� tiomes . The residents disapproved and chose a redwood color
and as a result , the units were painted the redwood color.
Also, the residents of Roosevelt Homes felt a sidewalk was
, needed between their area and the local shopping center
because the people had to walk in the street. The group
went to the City Council meeting and were su.ccessful in
getting an order for the owner of the property to put a
, sidewalk in.
2 . 'I'he Community Councils at both Roosevelt and McDonough Iiomes
' have requested both more and better recreational facilities
and supervision. Both areas now have a full-time recreatioli
director but are still in need of more service and are pursuing
� such. Resulting from these expressions of need, a new
gymnasium at Roosevelt Homes will be constructed and located
just outside of Roosevelt Homes , and this facility was
planned by the residents of Roosevelt Homes and the neighboring
, residents . The building is intended to service the broader
community and not just the project residents . Also in this
regard, the McDonough Homes residents , in meeting with the
, architects as plans for their Cummunity Building were Ueins
developed , were able to achieve full recognition of their
suggestions and, consequently , were instrumental in havin�
, the total design changed to better suit their expressed neecls .

3 . Another of the Tenant-Management Committees ' function is to
' make recommendations to the proper authorities on wliat thc
residents would like done and how. This was mosfi receiitly
done at a Tenant-Management Committee meeting at Mcllonougli
, fiomes where the HRA requested their Committee to work ��ut a
plan whereby the cars could be controlled in thcir par::iiig
lots .
� LOW AND N10DERATE INCOME HOUSING GROUPS
Citywide and Summit-University
, The Authority has worked with community non-profit sponsor:; in
the construction of two developments of 221 (d) (3) modera�:e- income
, housing in renewal projects , totaling 242 units and one refiabili-
tation project of 32 units . In addition, the Authority is
currently working with the CDC in the rehabilitation of ten
single-family homes under the FHA 235 program in the Summit-
� University area. This program will be expanded to 100 single-
family homes after procedures are clarified upon COIRp1E;t10I1
of the initial ten homes .
, 'I'he Authority is also assisting five sponsors - - Neig}iborliood
Iiouse (Concord Terrace Renewal Project) , Pilgrim Baptist Church,
Racial and Economic Integration Planners (REIP, Inc. ) , Mi�lwest
, Improvement Association, St. James AME Church - - in tlie
development of five Section 236 moderate- income liousing de�,•el-
opments totaling 400 units .
