Definitions, Data Sources, and Methods: 1. Definition of "Substandard" used. The definition of sub- standard units used in Table I is derived from the City of Bangor's Housing Code. This code is modeled after the nationally -recognized Building Officials and Code Administrators (BOCA) Housing Code. Thus, a unit classified in Table I as being substandard has at least one or more violations of the BOCA Housing Code; these vio- lations relate to the following parts of the structure: foundation, roof, heating equipment, electrical system, plumbing system, floors, walls, ceilings, means of egress, chimney, exterior covering, stairs, porches, cooking equipment, toilet facilities, fuel storage, refuse disposal, windows, doors, rodent infestation and other elements of the structure. 2. Definition of "suitable for rehabilitation" used. The units listed in Table I as being suitable for rehabilitation are all class- ified as being standard under the BOCA code; these units have at least five (5) or more minor code violations (i.e., no second means of egress, inadequate number of electrical outlets, etc.) or there is at least one (1) or more major code violations (i.e., deteriorated foundation, no heating system, etc.). In addition, the violation or combination of violations must be economically and structurally feasible to correct in order for the units to be considered suitable for rehabilitation. 3. Data sources and methods used. The basic data source for the Survey of Housing Conditions has been the U.S. Bureau of the Census. In 1975, the City of Bangor arranged for the Bureau of the Census to undertake a Special Census which provided a count of occu- pied and vacant housing units in the City. The estimate of units in Table I has up -dated the 1975 Special Census data by determining a net gain in housing units; the City Code Enforcement Department records provided information pertaining to housing starts and demo- litione to obtain this net gain. From this information, it may be seen that since 1970 occupied housing units have increased by 1,269 units and vacant units have decreased by 208 units producing a net gain of 1,061 housing units; of these 1,061 units added to the housing stock; 782 are multi -family (ranter) units, and 279 are single-family (owner) units. The vacancy rate of 5% was determined by the Special Census and; ,judging from the difficulty in securing vacant units under the City s Community Development relocation program and under the Section 8 Existing Housing program, it is estimated that the vacancy rate is remaining approximately constant. In addition to the Special Census, the City Code Enforcement Department has systematically inspected 8,474, or more than 70% of the housing units in the City. This survey, involving the inspection of nearly all units in the older neighborhoods (which are located between the Penobscot River and Interstate 95), classified units according to standard or substandard condition (in violation of the BOCA code); the substandard units were further subdivided according to these units: (a) with minor code violations - 707. of all sub- standard units, (b) suitable for rehabilitation - 24%, and (c) beyond the point of feasible rehabilitation and requiring clearance - 6%. Therefore, the units listed in Table I as being substandard include all of the units of these subdivisions. To obtain the estimate of "substandard" and "suitable for rehabilitation" for those units (30% of the total housing stock) not inspected by the Code Enforcement Department, a projection of the code violation rate for these units was made. To this projection, a code violation rate of 12.4%, or approximately half the rate of the units surveyed, was utilized. This projected rate is substantially lower because the unsurveyed area isgenerally newer, leas densely developed and overall more affluent than the surveyed (older) area; the projected rate has been substantiated by spot inspections by the Code Enforcement Department and by data from the Census Block Statistics. In the surveyed area, it was observed that the units determined to be suitable for rehabilitation represent approximately 25% of the substandard units;. in the unsurveyed area, it was there- fore estimated that the units suitable for rehabilitation also represent 25% of the substandard units. 4. Special Housing Conditions. As indicated in Table I, Bangor suffers from an inadequate housing supply, particularly in the rental housing area. The very low vacancy rate is the primary reason why the market costs for owner -occupied units as well as rental housing units are much higher in Bangor. than in surrounding communities. -3- - CITY OF MOOR Inventory of Assisted Housing Projects Project Name/ Number bar Type of 2 3' Lonati® Of Units 0 1 Houeing 1.

Housing Assistance Needs of Lower Income Households I. Data Sources and Methods. In preparing the overall estimate of housing assistance needs of lower income households (A. Owner Households and B. Renter Households), three generally reliable data sources were utilized; these three data sources are as follows: - 1. Penobscot Valley Regional Planning Commission Housing Plan. The Penobscot Valley Regional Planning Commission completed in February, 1977 a Regional Housing Plan which indicates that there is an unmet need of 845 units of assisted housing units for low and moderate income households in Bangor. This estimate is based primarily on an analysis of food stamp recipients in the City. Since then 82 units have been approved yielding a total of 763 family units needed. Utilizing Penobscot Valley Regional Flaming Commission Housing Plan methodology, it is estimated that there is a need for 12 elderly housing units. The computations are as follows: 4,875 = 1975 Bangor residents over 62 1,316 = Number of elderly under poverty level - (27% of 4,875) 526 = 40% of 1,316, or number who would accept aid 95 - Number of couples (367, of 526 = 190 � 2) 336 - Number of singles (526 - 190) Total low income elderly needs -419 - Existing units -iZ Units Needed 2. Housing Evaluation Market Analysis System (HEMAS). HEMAS, first prepared in 1973 by the Maine State Housing Authority with the assistance of HUD Manchester Area office personnel, is a system which indicates low-income housing priorities and estimated needs for com- munities in Maine. This system utilizes the five following factors (Weighted separately by the percentages): a. Population (W = 10%) b. % of rental units to total occupied units (W - 10%) c. % of families and unrelated individuals earning less than $6,000/year (W - $0%)- d. % of families and unrelated individuals earning less than $7,000/year but paying more than 25% of their income for rent (W - 30%) e. % of inadequate housing to total occupied units (W - 20%) The State Housing Authority modified HEMAS in August, 1979 by including 1975 poverty data and by taking into consideration the number of low-income rental units developed in each community since 1970. This updatedanalysis estimates ,that in Bangor there is a low-income housing need of 403 elderly units and 794 family units. Since August, 1979, 82 units of assisted family units have been approved, yielding a February, 1980, need of 712 family units, and a total need of 1,115 units. 3. Bangor Housing Authority. The third and last, data source utilized was the Bangor Housing Authority's "live" waiting list for assisted housing units. The Housing Authority's September, 1979 waiting list of apparently eligible applicants listed 274 elderly. The family unit list had been closed, so no data is available for that. Susmary of Methods It is felt that each of the above methods is valid in estimating assisted housing needs. Obviously, though, different methods tend to either under- or overestimate certain needs. The two estimates for family units were averaged to yield 738, while the three methods for elderly units yielded 230, for a total need of 968 units. Deducted Original From__ Revised Method Family - Family Family t Elderly Total Need 1) 845 82 763 12 775 2) 794 82 712 403 1,115 3) 274 4 2 3 + —M = 968 Using this averaging method, it is estimated that 968 lower income owner and renter families presently residing in Bangor require housing assistance. In order to determine the proportion between owner and renter households requiring assistance, the U.S. Census statistics were utilized as these were judged to be the best indicators. These statistics indicate that, of all households requiting assistance, approximately 27% are owner households and 73% are renter house- holds. To determine the proportions between the "elderly or handicapped," "family" and "large family" categories, it was felt that averaging the "Elderly" and "Family' estimates in Methods 1, 2, and 3 above provides an accurate indicator of relative need in these groups. Elderly are considered to make up approximately 24% of the renter and owner households respectively requiring assistance, and families make up the remaining 76% of the need. -9- In the family categories, it was determined that small families (4 or less persons) represent 71% of the need of owner and renter households while large families (5 or more persons) represent 5% of the owner and renter need. These proportions were established from the Bangor Housing Authority's waiting list; large family units are considered to have 3 or more bedrooms. The households to be displaced are based on actual surveys of residences to be acquired under CDBG programs. The 1970 Census Block Statistics indicate that there were 1,143 "Female -Headed Households" residing in Bangor; the Census General Social and Economic Characteristics for Marne further indicate that 402 households of all the female -headed households have income below the poverty level. This number has been adjusted to 370, to keep the percentage of female -headed households in need of housing assis- tance to 38% of the total. These households are assumed to be dis- tributed according to the elderly, family, and large family categories in the same proportion as the general households requiring assistance. The 1970 Census statistics for renters indicates that, of 37 Black/Negro households, 8 families are lower income and pay more than 25% of their income for rent. Similar statistics for Black/ Negro homeowners were suppressed due to the low number of such home- owners, so it is estimated that the housing assistance needs of this group (owner households) is in proportion to the overall population. The eight families were adjusted to seven in keeping with the reduction of total family renter units. The estimate of lower income American Indian households residing in Bangor and requiring housing assistance was provided by the Central Maine Indian Association, and adjusted as above. Estimates of Housing Assistance Needs of Households Expected to Reside According to an estimate prepared by the Maine State Planning Office, the number of additional households expected to reside in Bangor and requiring housing assistance is zero (0). This estimate was prepared using methodology approved by the Manchester Area Office of HUD, and computed by the Maine State Planning Office. The method compared the proportion of low-income households in Bangor to the proportion of all non -metropolitan Maine. The proportion for Maine is estimated at 22.7%, while the non -metropolitan figure is 16.6%, placing Bangor well above average. On the basis of these figures, Bangor's number of additional households expected to reside is zero. -10- II. Special Housing Assistance Needs of Lower -Income Households Minority groups in Bangor are very much a minority of the pop- ulation as they are throughout the State of Maine. In 1970, the Bureau of the Census determined that Bangor's population was 33,168, with the white population amounting to 32,655 (98.5%) and the non- white population amounting to 513 (1.57.). The white population included 234 Spanish Americans; the non-white population was composed of 307 Blacks, 89 American Indians; 68 Orientals, and 49 ether races. In 1975, the Bureau of the Census completed a Special Census of Bangor which indicated that the City's population was 32,205. According to this census, Bangor's non-white population had decreased from the 1970 level of 513 to'330 persons or one (1) percent of the City's population; this non-white population amounted to 195 Blacks and 135 American Indians, Orientals and other races. Since minority groups constitute such a small part of Bangor's population, there are no residential concentrations of minorities in the City. Minority groups have not been identified as having any particular housing needs or problems that are different From or are more severe than the city as a whole. Famale-headed households, in contrast to minority groups, do present a significant need for housing assistance. As is indicated in Table II -1, female -headed households represent 38% of all the house- holds in the city needing housing assistance. This estimate is sub- stantiated by the City's experiences to date with its Section 8 Existing Housing Program; under this Progress, 88% of the occupied family housing units are occupied by female -headed households. Housing problems frequently encountered by female -headed households are the traditional biases of landlords against renting to households headed by females and to households with children. Because of the proven demand for rental units, it is felt that - additional rental assistance under the Section 8 new construction, rehabilitation, and existing housing programs would best suit the needs of Female -headed households in Bangor. It has been determined that there is a definite need in Bangor for housing assistance for handicapped persons. The State Bureau of Mental Retardation completed in August, 1978 a comprehensive survey of the housing assistance needs of the developmentally disabled (those persons having physical as well as mental handicaps). This survey indicates that there are 27 non -elderly disabled persons having housing assistance needs in Bangor; these persons are generally young, single adults with - little or no personal income. In addition to these 27 non -elderly persons, it is estimated that there are 13 elderly disabled households requiring housing assistance, to make a total of 40 elderly and non - elderly handicapped households needing housing assistance. Presently, the non -elderly handicapped housing resources in Bangor are as follows: -11- 1. Homes Unlimited, Inca - a group home providing shelter for 12 educable or trainable mentally retarded adults; 2. The Independent Living Center - 10 units at Husson College .for physically handicapped adults; and 3. The Elizabeth Levinson Center - a regional intermediate care facility for 42 severely and profoundly retarded children between the ages of 2 and 18.

Because of the significant addition of housing from new construction in the 1970'8 the major emphasis will be on existing and rehabilitated housing. During the past two years, 17 new assisted rental housing units for the elderly have been committed to Bangor. According to the goals established in the City of Bangor's 1978 Housing Assistance plan, the City's goal of 229 assisted family housing units has not been achieved and is deficient as shown below: The deficiency of 54 family and large family units is included in the new three-year plan. A total of 167 family and large family assisted units are proposed for the thre-year plan in addition to 23 elderly, for a total of 190 units. The City of Bangor intends to take a number of actions, if necessary, to facilitate the accomplishment of its housing goals. These actions include the acquisition of sites and the provision of site improvements for the development of assisted housing. The City is updating its Land Use Plan to open up new areas for the development of assisted housing, and, in conjunction with the completion of this Plan update will pass appropriate zone changes. There currently is an established, active housing authority in Bangor. The City intends to work with the Bangor Housing Authority on all housing assistance programs, particularly on securing an allocation of Section 8 Existing Housing units. The Housing Authority serves a greater area than just Bangor, and its selection policies consequently make no reference as to rating prospective tenants on the basis of their residence or non -residence in Bangor. The City of Bangor also intends to promote and assist activities to encourage developers to initiate assisted housing, and to allocate a portion of their planned unsubsidized developments for assisted housing, the City also will encourage owners to make units available for Section 8 Existing Housing participants. According to State law, municipalities are prohibited from issuing tax abatements to reduce the coat of housing development. However, as in the past, the City plans other measures to reduce the cost of new housing through assisting in the development of housing subdivisions; such participation will include financial participation in the construction of public improve- ments (streets, sidewalks, sewers, etc.) in these areas. -14- Elderly & Small Large Total Handicapped Family Family 1978 HAP Goals 250 21 193 36 Committed Units 213 38 145 30 Deficiency - - 48 6 The deficiency of 54 family and large family units is included in the new three-year plan.
