A. Population characteristics: The population of Bangor declined from a high in
1960 of 38,912 to 33,168 io 1970 primarily as the result of the closing of Dov
Air Force Base located in the city. A special censer of Bangor conducted by the

the poverty Leval was 4,937 or 14,9¢, of the total population. According to 1975
U.S. Gemara data, this percentage a persona below the poverty level had increased
to 15.2%. The peremtege of families and individuals having incomes below 80% of
the median in Bangor was 44% a all families in 1970, and this percentage is
assumed 1e
ed to be at least the same presently, since Cessna data indicates that the

$13173 which is significantly below the $1,424 maximum increase limit set for
distressed unities Under the Urban Development Action. Grant program.

good. New construction in 1979 amounted to $11.6 million. Although unemployment
has increased from 5.1% a year ago to the present 6.1%, it is well below. the
state's unemployment rate of 7.2%. Approamately 1,100 new jobs have been created
in the past year principally in the electronics sed paper industries, wholesale
end retailtrade, servdres.avd goverment. As a regional employme t center,
nearly half.(48%) Of the City's workforce resides outside Bangor.

Table 1. Survey of Housing Conditions
I. 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.

Table II. 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.

3) 274

+ —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.
In addition to these facilities, there are a number of foster homes
in Bangor providing shelter for handicapped persona. Day activity
programs for the handicapped are provided at a number of centers in
Bangor including the Multiple Handicap Center of Penobscot Valley,
the Cerebral Palsy Center, and the Bangor Regional Rehabilitation
Center.
In a consent decree recently entered into by the State of Maine
as the result of a suit brought by representatives of handicapped
persons, the State has agreed to deinstitutionalize the population
of Pineland Hospital, its primary facility for mentally retarded
persons, and to provide assistance for the establishment of small,
community-based residential facilities for the mentally retarded. As
the result of this consent decree, several Bangor -based groups repre-
senting thehandicapped currently are proposing to construct group
homes for the metally retarded.

Table III - Three Year Housing Program
Narrative - The Three Year Coal for housing assistance set forth in
TaaVre= proposes a variety of housing types for Bangor. 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.
