Recognizing the limited funds available for this one year program, as well as the magnitude of housing substandardness in the County, a start will be made on rehabilitation of substandard structures with Community Development Block Grant funds. It is the County's intention to concentrate on improvement of living environments of lower-income households, etc. The program will be con- centrated in areas where spot rehabilitation could halt the deterioration process or help upgrade the neighborhood to a stable condition. Rehabilitation efforts will be expanded in this second year and may be in- creased in future years funding (if funds become available), the proposed public improvements may provide impetus for private capital to improve the housing stock in the activity area. At a minimum, such improvements will eliminate basic sources of physical blight with their health and fire hazards such that subsequent housing rehabilitation efforts (public or private) will have im- *proved chances for long-term success. Street paving is desired to improve the mobility of the poor by reducing travel hazards and enabling easy transportation in all weather conditions. The marl surface will greatly reduce the dust which plagues residents. Street drainage improvements are first concerned where areas with excessive flooding and stagnant waters produce potential health hazards. Recreation will be provided in selected ED's along with site clearance, rehabili- tation, street paving, and drainage. All efforts are coordinated to maintain or upgrade lower income neighborhoods.
