D. PURPOSE AND LOCATION OF PROGRAM -
Indicate which (one ormore) of the Program objectives the PHA proposes to achieve with this project and demonstrate the feasibility of
achieving that objective(s). (Check appropriate box(es). If boxes 2 or 3 are checked, the areas) applicable to the objectives should be
identified.)
1. O Freedom of housing choice and spatial deconcentration of assisted housing into areas outside of low income and minority con-
centrations. (PHAs in areas without a concentration of assisted housing may choose this objective and use the Moderate Rehablli-
tation Program In their jurisdiction to provide for dispersal of assisted housing.)
If this objective is selected, the PHA must demonstrate that there are sufficient units in need of moderate rehabilitation in areas
outside of low income and minority concentrations within the area of operation of the PHA which can be rehabilitated within the
FMR limitations of the Program. The PHA must also submit a Certification that it will select units outside of areas of minority con-
centration consistent with 24 CFR, Section 882.503(a)(9)(i).
2. O Prevention of displacement of Lower -Income Families in areas undergoing private rehabilitation.
If this objective is selected, the following items must be submitted: (a) a map outlining the neighborhood boundaries and indi-
cating major transportation corridors (streets, buslines, railroad tracks) and commercial, recreational and public facilities; and (b) a
description of neighborhood characteristics, including demographics (number of households, median income, age characteristics of
population, population trends, etc], owner/renter status of current residents, extent of vacancy and overall condition of the housing
stock. The PHA must also demonstrate that there are units in the neighborhood suitable for moderate rehabilitation, can meet the
site and neighborhood standards pursuant to Section 882AO5(b), and can be rehabilitated within the FMR limitations of the
Program.
3. IX -1 Neighborhood preservation and revitalization. (See Attachments; 1, la) -
If this objective is selected, the PHA must submit the information specified in 2(a) and (b) above and a letter from the chief
executive officer of the local government endorsing the application and describing other public and private improvements completed,
underway and/or planned In the neighborhood to complement the Moderate Rehabilitation Program. The PHA must also demon-
strate that the Program is appropriate to the needs of the neighborhood and that there are units in the neighborhood suitable for
moderate rehabilitation and which can meet the site and neighborhood standards pursuant to Section 882.405(b).
E. NEED FOR HOUSING ASSISTANCE
Demonstrate that the project requested in this application is consistent with the applicable Housing Assistance Plan including the goals
for meeting the housing needs of Lower -Income Families or, in the absence of such a Plan, that the proposal project is responsive to the
housing stock in the community and the housing assistance needs of Lower -Income Families (including the elderly, handicapped and
disabled, large Families and those displaced or to be displaced) residing in or expected to reside in the community and that there is or
Will be available in the area public facilities and services adequate to serve the housing proposed to be assisted.
The Moderate Rehab Project requested in this application is based on the housing assistance
needs and annual housing goals contained in the-Lubbock's 1979-1981 3 Year HAP (Table III).
The Three Year goal for "Housing Assistance to Renters" is 743 units, of which 213 units in-
clude "Rehab of Rental Units". Of these 213, 80 units are proposed for Moderate Rehab over
the three years (No goal for Moderate Rehab was included in Table V, "Annual Goals", since
Lubbock was not invited to participate in the first round of Moderate Rehab.funding). This:
application is for 40 units of Sec. 8 Moderate Rehab. '
The distribution of the 40 units is shown in Section C of this application, and is based on
proportionality reflected in the HAP (Table III), and on the data contained in Table 11-1
of the HAP. The proposed bedroom distribution for the project is based on needs reflected
in the Housing Authority, Sec. 8 Existing waiting list.
F. QUALIFICATION AS A PUBLIC HOUSING AGENCY

The Housing Authority has just completed the modernization on Projects TEX 18 -1 -
and 18-2 in the amount of $1,490,000.00. Projects TEX 18-3 and 18-4 have been
painted through funding by the South Plains Association of Governments in the
amount of $141,796.00. In addition, another modernization project is under-
way in Project TEX 18-2 in the amount of $370,000.00.
Within the past year the Authority has been able to secure C.D. funds from
the City to renovate three apartments at Green Fair Manor to offices for
Counseling Services and an Activity Center. These funds amount to $33,800.00.
In addition, the Authority has recently been awarded $69,000.00 from C.D. funds
for security.
In addition to unit ownership, the Housing Authority manages and maintains a
Central office, Community.Center, Maintenance shop and warehouse in a separate
location as well as offices in Projects TEX 18-1 and 18-2. The Authority has'
been allotted 100 certificates for Section 8 Existing housing and has an ap-
plication. pending with HUD for an additional 100 certificates. The operation
of a Housing Authority of this magnitude is a large and complex task. However,
with almost 40 years experience to their credit, the Lubbock Housing Authority
has evolved an efficient and economical management plan which is capable of
performing the task. The Housing Authority staff is a conscientious team whose
problem solving talents coupled with solid leadership have enabled the Authority
to operate its four projects and Section 8 existing program smoothly and ef-
fectively. The staff is comprised of the following personnel:

The Housing Authority is currently in the process of upgrading occupancy and
has had considerable success in the past year in implementing rent ranges and
delinquency collection. All of the projects are operated under Annual Con-
tribution Contract (ACC). The Authority has approximately $1,000,000.00 in-
vested in Certificates of Deposit. The Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) has
been forgiven by both the City and County, which enable the Authority to use
the $175,000.00 to implement programs which the ACC will.not-cover.
In summary, the Lubbock Housing Authority is an old, well established, effi-
ciently managed local Housing Authority. Its successful performance in'areas
of management and improvements qualifies the Authority as an ideal administration
of Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program's.
J. REHABILITATION EXPERTISE
itated under the Moderate Rehabilitation Program will be structurally similar
to the units the Agency is presently rehabilitating (or has completed) in the
area. That is, most units participating in the Moderate Rehabilitation Program
are expected to be detached, single-family structures.
In the past the Rehabilitation Department of the Agency has received numerous
visits and phone calls from officials in other cities seeking guidance on how
to set up a local rehabilitation program. These officials have been referred
to the Agency by staff persons in the Dallas Area Office of HUD.
ATTACHMENT 1
SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION FOR
SELECTION OF OBJECTIVE 3
A. Description of Proposed Neighborhood
1. General Description of the Area: The area comprises the Bean School NSA
and is described in the City'of Lubbock's 1979-82 Community Development
and Housing Plan, submitted to the HUD Dallas Area Office on January 25,
1979. (See "Comprehensive Strategy", pages 7-10, and "Summary of CD &
Housing Needs, page 2, of the Three Year Plan.) The following general
description of the Bean School NSA is supplementary to the description
of the areas contained in the Housing Assistance Plan and referenced
above.
The NSA is characterized by single-family dwellings, mostly built before
1950, which average 907 square feet of floor space. Most units contain two
be and are structurally sound but in need of moderate rehabilitation.
The area was in a state of moderate decline before 1976, and contained spots
of serious deterioration. CDBG funds have been used in the area since 1976
for rehabilitation, clearance and redevelopment, and concentrated code -
enforcement. These efforts, which are planned to be ongoing, have stablized
the neighborhood and averted the possibility of the area becoming a slum.
CDBG funds amounting to $1,996,137.00 have been spent or committed in the
area. Improvements have been made to parks, recreational facilities, thor-
oughfare lighting, fire protection facilities and to a senior citizen's
center in the area. Total funds expended or programmed for neighborhood re-
vitalization activities (rehabilitation, clearance, redevelopment and side-
walks) in the area amount to $1,474,839.00.
One unmet need in the NSA is that -of a mechanism to effectively deal with
deteriorated rental properties. The problem results from the following two
causes:
1. Area landlords, mostly local tradesmen or small businessmen, are
unwilling to reinvest in their properties without assurances they
will receive adequate rents.
2. A significant number of area tenants would be hard-pressed to pay
rent increases which would result from conventionally financed
housing rehabilitation.
It is believed that the Moderate Rehabilitation Program being planned for
the NSA will help to alleviate both of these difficulties.
While the Urban Renewal Agency has not recorded all contacts with rental
property owners, the Agency has received many inquiries from several rental
property owners about assistance for their units. These inquiries indicate
a potential for owner participation in the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation
Program.
The Moderate Rehabilitation Program will be a beneficial complement to the
ongoing CDBG housing related activities and to the private rehabilitation
efforts taking place in the area. The effect of all housing -related activities
will be to insure that the viability of the neighborhood will be preserved
well into the future.
2. Demographic & Physical Characteristics of the Area: (Comprises most of
Census Tract 13):
(a). Demographics:
...1,490 households, population of approximately 3,400 persons
...14% of population is aged 60 or above.
...Median income in 1970 was 78% of city-wide median.
...44% of the households are lower income.
...Population is 77% Anglo and 23% Mexican -American.
W. Characteristics of Properties:
...Housing stock is over 30 years old -- mostly built before 1950.
Structures are basically sound.
...59% of units are rentals.
...Under CDBG, 68 owner -occupied units have been rehabilitated in
the past three years. More such activity is planned.
...15 new units have been developed in the area in the last three
years.
...Vacancy rate, based on Polk Data, is 10.75
...Of the 68 units rehabilitated in the area under CDBG, 58 were
rehabilitated for'less that $7,000 (average), and 10 involved
rehabilitated costs above $7,500.
(c). Characteristics of Rental Property Owners:
Owners typically own a small number of units, and rental units tend
to be either single family dwellings or in structures of less than
10 units. Only 125 (8%) of all dwelling units are in structures
of over 10 units. It is estimated that as many as 200 separate
owners in widely -ranging income groups could control the estimated
890 rental units in the area. Characteristics of the owners, then,
tend to be highly varied, and generalizations are difficult to make.
W. Tenant Characteristics:
Tenants with few exceptions are lower income persons. Tenants in-
clude both Anglo and minority lower-income wage earners, single -
headed households, the elderly, persons on public assistance, and
generally represent a cross-section of the city's lower-income
population. Of the 44% of lower-income households in the area, it
is estimated that a predominant part are living in rental units.
3. See map of the area showing location of area boundaries, major corridors,
bus routes, and access to recreational, health & commercial facilities,
and other urban amenities.
B. Demonstration of Appropriateness of the Moderate Rehabilitation Program for
the Proposed Neighborhood
The four years of experience which the Urban Renewal Agency has with residential
rehabilitation in the Bean NSA indicates that the area is in need of moderate
rehabilitation (between $5,000 and $9,500). The Agency has made numerous
structural surveys of the area, and has rehabilitated 68 units in the area -
86% of which fell into the moderate rehabilitation category.
Criteria for rehabilitation work are contained in the "Residential Property
Rehabilitation Standards for the Lubbock Community Development Program"
(generally referred to as the PRS). •The PRS currently -in use were developed
for rehabilitation of structures under the Neighborhood Development Program,
by the Urban Renewal Agency and with some modification these standards have
been adapted to the Community Development Rehabilitation Program.
Those units in the area which require substantial rehabilitation are largely
concentrated on the northern edge of the area. This area will be generally
avoided in carrying out the program. It is proposed that CDBG funds will be
used to address the needs of the northern sector, although a time table has
not been prepared.
It is estimated that a preponderance of the 890 rental units in the area
contain lower-income households which would be eligible for the Sec. 8 program.
Both structurally and in tenant characteristics, the area appears to fit
suitability criteria of the Section 8 Moderate Income Program.

The Housing Authority has just completed the modernization on Projects TEX 18-1
and 18-2 in the amount of $1,490,000.00. Projects TEX 18-3 and 18-4 have been
painted through funding by the South Plains Association of Governments in the
amount of $141,796.00. In addition, another modernization project is under-
way in Project TEX 18-2 in the amount of $370,000.00.
Within the past year the Authority has been able to secure C.D. funds from
the City to renovate three apartments at Green Fair Manor to offices for
Counseling Services and an Activity Center. These funds amount to $33,800.00.
In addition, the Authority has recently been awarded $69,000.00 from C.D. funds
for security.
In addition to unit ownership, the Housing Authority manages and maintains a
Central office, Community Center, Maintenance shop and warehouse in a separate
location as well as offices in Projects TEX 18-1 and 18-2. The Authority has
been allotted 100 certificates for Section 8 Existing housing and has an ap-
plication. pending with HUD for an additional 100 certificates. The operation
of a Housing Authority of this magnitude is a large and complex task. However,
with almost 40 years experience to their credit, the Lubbock Housing Authority
has evolved an efficient and economical management plan which is capable of
performing the task. The Housing Authority staff is a conscientious team whose
problem solving talents coupled with solid leadership have enabled the Authority
to operate its four projects and Section 8 existing program smoothly and ef-
fectively. The staff is comprised of the following personnel:

The Housing Authority is currently in the process of upgrading occupancy and
has had considerable success in the past year in implementing rent ranges and
delinquency collection. All of the projects are operated under Annual Con-
tribution Contract (ACC). The Authority has approximately $1,000,000.00 in-
vested in Certificates of Deposit. The Payment in Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) has
been forgiven by both the City and County, which enable the Authority to use
the $175,000.00 to implement programs which the ACC will not cover.
In summary, the Lubbock Housing Authority is an old, well established, effi-
ciently managed local Housing Authority. .Its successful performance in'areas
of management and improvements qualifies the Authority as an ideal administration
of Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program§.
J. REHABILITATION EXPERTISE
itated under the Moderate Rehabilitation Program will be structurally similar
to the units the Agency is presently rehabilitating (or has completed) in the
area. That is, most units participating in the Moderate Rehabilitation Program
are expected to be detached, single-family structures.
In the past the Rehabilitation Department of the Agency has received numerous
visits and phone calls from officials in other cities seeking guidance on how
to set up a local rehabilitation program. These officials have been referred
to the Agency by staff persons in the Dallas Area Office of HUD.
LUBBOCK CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF LUBBOCK
LUBBOCK, TEXAS

Mr. Irving Statman
Area Director
Department of Housing and Urban Development
2001 Bryan Tower
Dallas, Texas 75201
Dear Mr. Statman:
ATTACHMENT la
The City Council has reviewed the application for 40 units of Section 8
Moderate Rehabilitation and we endorse the application. The proposed
Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program will be concentrated in the
Bean Neighborhood Strategy Area which will help meet the housing assist-
ance needs of the lower income residents. In addition, this program will
support the neighborhood revitalization efforts being carried on or
proposed under the Community Development Block Grant Program.
Since 1975, the City of Lubbock has directly allocated $1,996,138.00 of
CDBG funds to the revitalization of the Bean School area:
Traffic Signals $ 50,000
Thoroughfare Lighting $ 55,783
Park Improvements $ 10,360
Fire Protection Facility $ 390,155
Public Service $ 15,000
Neighborhood Revitalization Activities $1,474,839
The implementation of the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation Program will
help rehabilitate tennant occupied housing units which will contribute
to a more complete revitalization effort in the Bean Neighborhood Strategy
Area. I would encourage the Department of Housing and Urban Development
to approve the Housing Authority of Lubbock's application.
Sincerely,
e%; .0

SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION FOR
SELECTION OF OBJECTIVE 3
A. Description of Proposed Neighborhood
1. General Description of the Area: The area comprises the Bean School NSA
and is described in the City of Lubbock's 1979-82 Community Development
and Housing Plan, submitted to the HUD Dallas Area Office on January 25,
1979. (See "Comprehensive Strategy", pages 7-10, and "Summary of CD &
Housing Needs, page 2, of the Three Year Plan.) The following general
description of the Bean School NSA is supplementary to the description
of the areas contained in the Housing Assistance Plan and referenced
above.
The NSA is characterized by single-family dwellings, mostly built before
1950, which average 907 square feet of floor space. Most units contain two
bedrooms, and are structurally sound but in need of moderate rehabilitation.
The area was in a state of moderate decline before 1976, and contained spots
of serious deterioration. CDBG funds have been used in the area since 1976
for rehabilitation, clearance and redevelopment, and concentrated code -
enforcement. These efforts; which are planned to be ongoing, have stablized
the neighborhood and averted the possibility of the area becoming a slum.
CDBG funds amounting to $1,996,137.00 have been spent or committed in the
area. Improvements have been made to parks, recreational facilities, thor-
oughfare lighting, fire protection facilities and to a senior citizen's
center in the area. Total funds expended or programmed for neighborhood re-
vitalization activities (rehabilitation, clearance, redevelopment and side-
walks) in the area amount to $1,474,839.00.
One unmet need in the NSA is that of a mechanism, to effectively deal with
deteriorated rental properties. The problem results from the following two
causes:
1. Area landlords, mostly local tradesmen or small businessmen, are
unwilling to reinvest in their properties without assurances they
will receive adequate rents.
2. A significant number of area tenants would be hard-pressed to pay
rent increases which would result from conventionally financed
housing rehabilitation.
It is believed that the Moderate Rehabilitation Program being planned for
the NSA will help to alleviate both of these difficulties.
While the Urban Renewal Agency has not recorded all contacts with rental
property owners, the Agency has received many inquiries from several rental
property owners about assistance for their units. These inquiries indicate
a potential for owner participation in the Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation
Program.
The Moderate Rehabilitation Program will be a beneficial complement to the
ongoing CDBG housing related activities and to the private rehabilitation
efforts taking place in the area. The effect of all housing -related activities
will be to insure that the viability of the neighborhood will be preserved
well into the future.
2. Demographic & Physical Characteristics of the Area: (Comprises most of
Census Tract 13):
(a). Demographics:
...1,490 households, population of approximately 3,400 persons
...14% of population is aged 60 or above.
...Median income in 1970 was 78% of city-wide median.
...44% of the households are lower income.
...Population is 77% Anglo and 23% Mexican -American.
W. Characteristics of Properties:
...Housing stock is over 30 years old -- mostly built before. 1950.
Structures are basically sound.
...59% of units are rentals.
...Under CDBG, 68 owner -occupied units have been rehabilitated in
the past three years. More such activity is planned.
...15 new units have been developed in the area in the last three
years.
...Vacancy rate, based on Polk Data, is 10.75
...Of the 68 units rehabilitated in the area under CDBG, 58 were
rehabilitated for less that $7,000 (average), and 10 involved
rehabilitated costs above $7,500.
(c). Characteristics of Rental Property Owners:
Owners typically own a small number of units, and rental units tend
to be either single family dwellings or in structures of less than
10 units. Only 125 (8%) of all dwelling units are in structures
of over 10 units. It is estimated that as many as 200 separate
owners in widely -ranging income groups could control the estimated
890 rental units in the area. Characteristics of the owners, then,
tend to be highly varied, and generalizations are difficult to make.
(d). Tenant Characteristics:
Tenants with few exceptions are lower income persons. Tenants in-
clude both Anglo and minority lower-income wage earners, single -
headed households, the elderly; persons on public assistance, and
generally represent a cross-section of the city's lower-income
population. Of the 44% of lower-income households in the area, it
is estimated that a predominant part are living in rental units.

bus routes, and access to recreational, health '& commercial facilities,
and other urban amenities.
B. Demonstration of Appropriateness of the 'Moderate Rehabilitation Program for
the Proposed Neighborhood
The four years of experience which the Urban Renewal Agency has with residential
rehabilitation in the Bean NSA indicates that the area is in need of moderate
rehabilitation (between $5,000 and $9,500). The Agency has made numerous
structural surveys of the area, and has rehabilitated 68 units in the area -
86% of which fell into the moderate rehabilitation category.
Criteria for rehabilitation work are contained in the "Residential Property
Rehabilitation Standards for the Lubbock Community Development Program"
(generally referred to as the PRS). •The PRS currently in use were developed
for rehabilitation of structures under the Neighborhood Development. Program,
by the Urban Renewal Agency and with some modification these standards have
been adapted to the Community Development Rehabilitation Program.
Those units in the area which require substantial rehabilitation are largely
concentrated on the northern edge of the area. This area will be generally
avoided in carrying out the program. It is proposed that CDBG funds will be
used to address the needs of the northern sector, although a time table has
not been prepared.
It is estimated that a preponderance of the 890 rental units in the area
contain lower-income households which would be eligible for the Sec. 8 program.
Both structurally and in tenant characteristics, the area appears to fit
suitability criteria of the Section 8 Moderate Income Program.
