Some results were not co~arable from the Planning Department survey <br />to the H/CD proposal task force questionnaire. The Planning survey had two <br />questions concerning the group faced with the most critical housing problem <br />and the group faced with the most difficulty in finding housing. Since the <br />questions were not clearly differentiated, tho responses were combined in <br />order to rank the various groups according to the perceived housing diffi- <br />culties of each. The rank order and score was as follows: <br /> <br />1. Elderly and handicapped 16 <br />2. Large f~milies 8 <br />3. Ail groups in general S <br />4. Black 2 <br />$. Non-welfare recipient, working <br /> families with low incomes 2 <br />6. Single parent 'families 1 <br />7. Fixed income groups 1 <br />8. Mexican-American 0 <br />9. Single person household 0 <br /> <br /> Additional cu~m,ents on the Planning questionnaire relating to housing <br />and perceived co~aunity needs included three requests for installation of <br />store drain improvc~ments on Segerstrom Avenue and singular conmments con- <br />cerning the need for better long range planning, that the survey was biased <br />toward low income housing needs, and the need for municipal regulation of <br />maintenance of residential properties by tenants or renters as the law is <br />now structured to the disadvantage of a landlord faced with tenants who mis- <br />use or neglect units. <br /> <br /> It was neither the purpose nor within the capacity of the Planning <br />Department questionnaire to be used for review or examination of the survey <br />results obtained during preparation of Santa Ana's H/CD entitlement appli- <br />cation. Tentative generalizations may be suggested by the Planning Depart~ <br />ment survey; however, they should not be interpreted as final conclusions <br />except as regard the actual survey of a limited and structured segment of <br />the overall population. It would be hoped that the 196 responses to the <br />H/CD questionnaire based on a random survey would be more representative of <br />the general cu,,,~nity, even though it is an extremely small sample (less <br />than one-half of one percent). Many questionnaires were incomplete and <br />there was some evidence of coaching or duplicate questionnaires in certain <br />community areas. <br /> <br /> The Planning Defmrtment survey respondents indicated an emphasis on <br />the development of parks and recreation facilities on both a neighborhood <br /> <br />00015 <br /> <br /> <br />
