poverty, education and the host of other supplemental factors that influence <br />the housing situation. <br /> <br />Short Term Plans <br /> <br /> To help alleviate the imnediate symptoms of the City's housing pro- <br />blems, the following short-term plans are presented. <br /> <br /> 1. Increase utilization of the Planning Commi.ssion~ the Human <br />~esources Commission, the ProjectArea Committee and any other housing <br />related citizen's body in dealing with the City's housing needs. Citizen <br />committees are an important part of the planning process in that they act <br />as liaison between citizens and governmental agencies. <br /> <br /> ~e above mentioned committees shou/d, in addition to their other <br />duties, identify and recomuend to homeowners and local agencies the existing <br />State and Federal programs best suited for local com~anity improvement. A <br />further elaboration of citizen committees' responsibilities is contained in <br />Phase I of the Long Range Program section. <br /> <br /> 2. _At least 5,617. hop. sing units should be con..structed and/or <br />.r.~habilitated by 1980. Table V-14 indicates a total usable supply in the <br />santa lure market of 59,992 units. The same table indicates a total esti- <br />mated need of 65,069. The difference between these two numbers, 5,617, <br />represents the number of units that should be made available by 1980. <br />Fiscal year ]975-76 guidelines for the rehabilitation and construction of <br />220 units are contained in the City's Housing Assistance Plan. First-year <br />plans call for the provision of 300 units under the Revised Section 25 <br />Leased Housing Program. Future housing assistance plans will be developed <br />to distribute the Comn~nity Development funds available to the City under <br />the recent ttousing and Community Development Act. In addition, the City <br />will make every effort to entice private developers to construct and/or <br />rehabilitate those housing units in Santa Aha needed to meet the 1980 demand. <br /> <br /> 3. Institute an effective system for code enforcement, conservation <br />and relocation. The efficient removal of dilapidated' units requires an <br />effective system of relocation and a means to their rights and responsi- <br />bilities. Code enforcement and conservation programs should be. concentrated <br />in those target areas and potential problem areas identified in ~apter VII <br />of this document. <br /> <br />000166 <br /> <br /> <br />
