F P TABLE II 11OUSING ASSISTANCE NEEDS OF LOWER INCOME 11OUSE11OLDS 1977 The 1970 Census, Special Tabulation DHUD, stated the number of owner and renter households by income, race, and if elderly, that were inadeequatly housed in the county. Section 8 income limits and a income adjustment factor were applied to give the total number of households needing assistance. Vero Beach and all other incorporated communities were subtracted out by their appropriate percentages. The handicapped houseboils were estimated based on the number of receipients of Public Assistance for the blind and disabled. The 1970 totals were updated to 1977. The percentage growth of households receiving A.F.D.C, payments from the state from 1969 to 1976 was compared to the state growth in households and the unincorporated County's growth in households. This factor was applied to owner and renter households for the 1977 needs. Minority households statewide and in the County have not grown at the same rate as total population. The 1960 -to 1970 growth rate for blacks in the County was about a third of the total County growth rate. This factor was applied to the 1970 to 1977 overall growth rate to obtain the new households requiring assistance. Households living in assisted housing constructed since 1970 were subtracted out. Female Headed Households were 61% of all households with incomes less than 125% of the.poverty level. This was applied to the total lower income households requiring assistance. The percentage of female headed households from Vero Beach and other* communities were subtracted out. The 1970 totals were updated by the same means as total households. There are no known plans that would result in displacements during the program year.
