The need for additional standard housing, especially for low to moderate income families, to meet present and future housing demand. 2. The need for public facility improvements in declining neighborhoods. Several deteriorating neighborhood areas are in need of safe and adequate streets and drainage facilities. The Dunbar and Victory Gardens neighbor- hoods are particularly in need of these facilities because they are in the natural drainage course for Purgatory Creek. 3. Enforcement of building codes. 4. The need to locate housing out of areas with hazardous environmental conditions. 5. The need for improvements to the water system including replacing all out- dated, undersized water lines and provide fire hydrant protection. "EDS ADDRESSED I N TH I.
