A census tract in which the proposed PBV development will be located in a HUD- <br />designated Enterprise Zone, Economic Community, or Renewal Community; <br />A census tract where the concentration of assisted units will be or has decreased as a <br />result of public housing demolition and HOPE VI redevelopment; <br />A census tract in which the proposed PBV development will be located is undergoing <br />significant revitalization as a result of state, local, or federal dollars invested in the area; <br />A census tract where new market rate units are being developed where such market rate <br />units will positively impact the poverty rate in the area; <br />A census tract where there has been an overall decline in the poverty rate within the past <br />five years; or <br />A census tract where there are meaningful opportunities for educational and economic <br />advancement. <br />Existing and Rehabilitated Housing Site and Neighborhood Standards [24 CFR 983.57(d)] <br />SAHA may not enter into an agreement to enter into a HAP contract nor enter into a HAP <br />contract for existing or rehabilitated housing until it has determined that the site complies with <br />the HUD required site and neighborhood standards. The site must: <br />~ Be adequate in size, exposure, and contour to accommodate the number and type of units <br />proposed; <br />~ Have adequate utilities and streets available to service the site; <br />~ Promote a greater choice of housing opportunities and avoid undue concentration of assisted <br />persons in areas containing a high proportion of low-income persons; <br />~ Be accessible to social, recreational, educational, commercial, and health facilities and <br />services and other municipal facilities and services equivalent to those found in <br />neighborhoods consisting largely of unassisted similar units; and <br />~ Be located so that travel time and cost via public transportation or private automobile from <br />the neighborhood to places of employment is not excessive. <br />New Construction Site and Neighborhood Standards [24 CFR 983.57(e)] <br />In order to be selected for PBV assistance, a site for newly constructed housing must meet the <br />following HUD required site and neighborhood standards: <br />~ The site must be adequate in size, exposure, and contour to accommodate the number and <br />type of units proposed; <br />~ The site must have adequate utilities and streets available to service the site; <br />~ The site must not be located in an area of minority concentration unless SAHA determines <br />that sufficient, comparable opportunities exist for housing for minority families in the income <br />range to be served by the proposed project outside areas of minority concentration or that the <br />project is necessary to meet overriding housing needs that cannot be met in that housing <br />market area; <br />iii29iio Page 17-8 <br />
