Analysis o£ Overall ~uestionnaire Results <br /> <br /> I. NeighborhOOd Needs: A clear plurality of surveyees agreed that <br />the City shoUld i~prove and construct store and sanitary sewers. The next <br />two priorities chosen, i~prove streets and rehabilitate houses, were ranked <br />fairly close together, Beautifying streets and improving the downtovrn <br />business area ~ere felt by the surveyees to be unimportant as is seen by <br />the low priority rank given them. <br /> <br /> II. City-wide Needs: Su.rveyees clearly felt that there should be <br />more low income housing. Street h~provements and rehabilitation of housing <br />were the other two priorities chosen. Preservation of historic sites was of <br />very low interest, follewedby improvement of the downtown business district. <br />City-wide needs were basically the same as neighborhood needs. <br /> <br /> III. Public/Social Service Needs: The number one priority in this <br />category was crime prevention, followed by job training and employment pro- <br />grams. The Con~nanity Centers have job placement programs that have a high <br />placement rate. Does this indicate that people are not aware of these <br />programs or that jobs are just not available? The third priority chosen, <br />elderly programs and services, indicates a lack of services for the elderly <br />in Santa Ana. <br /> <br /> IV. Housing Needs: Surveyees felt that elderly handicapped, large <br />families and Mexican-Americans do not have adequate housing opportunities. <br />Single family homes ~ere chosen as the most suitable type of housing for <br />the groups needing more housing. This is contradictory because elderly <br />handicapped are not usually capable of keeping their owa homes. Perhaps <br />the physchological feeling of having one's own home influenced the decision <br />on this priority. <br /> <br /> Townhouses were the seco~ type of housing chosen as most suitable. <br />This correlates with the elderly need for housing. To~mhouses are far more <br />feasible for elderly than single family homes. The choice of single family <br />homes correlates with the need for more housing for large families and <br />Mexican-Americans. High rise aparments received very little support. <br /> <br /> The vast majority (75%) of surveyees felt that housing conditions <br />in their neighborhood were inadequate. Eighty-five percent of the surveyees <br />felt that the City should expand its housing code enforcement program. <br />Eighty-seven percent of the surveyees felt that Iow income housing should <br /> <br />0001 4 <br /> <br /> <br />
