Planning Department Housin~ questionnaire A housing questionnaire suitable for comparison to the survey questionnaire utilized by the Santa Arm task force in charge of preparation of proposed projects and budget estimates under the 1974 Housing and Com- munity Development (H/CD) Act was submitted to homeowners' associations and citizens groups. The sample was limited, however structured to elicit a response from middle and high income groups. Elected officers and board members were asked to respond on behalf of their respective organizations in a manner more reflective of the group rather than the individual respondent. A total of nineteen responses were obtained from such groups as the Bradford Place Homeowners' Association, Mabury Homeowners' Association, South Coast Shores, Citizens for Fair Zoning, Sandpointe Homeowners' Association, Segerstrom-Republic Homeowners' Association and the Santa Aha Property Owners' Protective League.
