Me City of Bangor is a .........
enter for Northern and Eastem Name. Me primary market/labor area is the
Bangor -Braver Market Area, an eleven emmunity area with a present Papule -
tion of approssimatelY 80,000.
A Fopolation characteristics: The population of Bangor declined from a
_ high in 1960 of 38,912 to 33,168. in 1970 Primarily as the result Of the
closing of Bow Air Force Base located in the city. A special census of
Bangor conducted by the U.S. Bureau of the Census in 1975 indicated that
the city's population appears to have stabilized at 32,205• The special
us also inhoated that the ron-white population of Bangor decreased
frrom 513 (1.5'$) in 1970 to 330 (1'%) in 1975, with the Black population
-- decreasing from 307 (1970) to 195 (1975)•
B. Income characteristics: In 1970, the number oY Persons in Bangor at or
below the poverty level was 4,937 or 14.9% of the total population.
According to 1975 U.S. Census data, this percentage of persons below the
poverty level had increased to 1526. The percentage of families end
_ individuals hying in ®es below 83 athe median In Bangor Bees 44'$ of
all families in 197Dand this percentage is assumed to Be at least the
ams presently, since Census data indicates that the net iacrease in per
capita Incomes of Bangor residents for the period 1969-1974 was $12173 which
is significantly below the $1,424 maximnv increase limitaet for distressed
ca®mities under the Urban Development Action Grant program.
C. Economic couditicau: ECm,®ic conditions in the city or Bangor are
generally goad Bath retail expansion spearheaded by the construction of a
522,000 square foot regional sbopping center in BaeSI and new construction
in of
empllo ment enchanting to a ooupledwithrincreas inearly
Stable
retail empl0ymant hascontributed to a�
decline in the unseployment rate from a recent high or 9.78 in February,

D. Horsing conditions: Housing conditions on the other hand are not
generally good in Bangor: the housing is old (T14 of the units waxen
c -
structed prior to 1940), the apply is inadequate (the vacancy rate of
standard units is estimated to be 4.0%), and there is a high degree of
vbstadeaxdness (an estimated. 22316 units, or 20%, are in violation of the
City's cedes). Although housing abandonment is not vridespxead is Balgor,
primarily because of the inadequate supply. 1970 census inforsatim
Indicates that 960 dwelling Unita, or 6% oP all occupied units, were
rorowded. The City is attempting to rectify these housing problems
through concentrated programs of neighborhood revth
italizatim, e stlrula-
tion of newhousing caitrzctim, and the provision oY more then 900 units
o£ subsidized horning for low -and nodsxate-income persons. Durr the
last 12 month period (August, 1977 - July, 1998), construction has started
an 2 elderly horsing projects totalling 161 units, do addition, during this
me period construction hes been started on or permits issued for 36 units
of hnnsnidized multi -family hauling nnita and 90 single -fermi, horsing
units, Me City recently selected a developer Etc will construct approx-
imately l00 ellti-family market rate units m a redevelaimment site cleared
with Canmarity Block Grunt funds.

A. General strategy.
The general development strategy for the City of Bangor is to provide a
viable comity by continuing programa directed toward the elimination of
all forma a physical end visual pollution and blight within the city for
an improved living envirOmront. The major objectives for housing and
cnsm:ity development in Bangor are as follows: (1) to promote and assist
housing and neighborbood improvement and repulsion, of the housing stack,
particularly for lower-income families: (2) to provide necessary community
and public services for residents oP the city; end (3) to promote the
economic development of the city to ensure a stable tax base and to ensure
that jet opportunities are available.
Phe City of Bangor's highest priority for the use Of CCBG fiords continues
to be om neighborhood conservation/revitalization can. on improving and
-
prnmoting the expansion of city's bet ing stock, Other high priorities
ere to undertake activities deafened to stimulate revitalization of Bangor's
antral business district, and to assist facilities for the elderly and
handicapped.
Two primary factors have been utilized by the City of Bangor in selecting,
es for treatment with 0883 fonds: (1) the first is the incidence of slums
Or blight as measured by the amber of substandard housing units and the
condition or absence of public facilities son. Improvements On a concentrated
area; and (2) the =bar a low- and moderate -income families and persons
living within that area. In designing projects to meet the identified needs
of an area, the emphasis is generally m physical development activities;
because the remaining neighborhoods which require remedial treatment are
considered to be suitable for revitalization (as opposed to an area beyond
the point of revitalization and requiring total clearance), the activities
selected include "Spot" acquisition and clearance (or rehabilitation if
feasible) of dilapidated structures, relocation of displaced persons and
families, concentrated Cade enforcement, property rehabilitation assistance,
sod public Improvements. Existing public agencies are capable of handling
any specific social problems which may be identified while undertaking
these projects.Therefore, public services designed into these projects
primarily involve counselling persons In upgrading their residential
properties or assisting displaced persons to secure suitable, safe replace -
meat housing.

In this projections a Code violation rate of 12.4%, or approximately half the rate
of the units surveyed, was utiiiud. Tnis projected rate is substantially lower
because the unsurveyed area is generally cower, less densely developed and overall
core affluent then the aurveyed(Older) are&e the projected rate has been substantiated
by spot inspections by the Code Enforcement Department and by data Cans the Census
Block Statistics. Iu the surveyed area, It vas observed that the units deterudned
to be suit ble for rehabilitation represent approximately 25% of the substandard
unite; in the unsurveyed area, it was therefore estimated that the mite suitable
for rehabilitatica'also represent 25% of the substandard units.
4. Special Housing Conditions. As indicated in Table I, Bangor suffers from
an inudequate housing supply, particularly in the rental housing area. The very lav
vacancy rate is the primary, reason why the market costa for own occupied wits as
well as rental housing units are mach higher in Bangor than in surrounding communities.

Table I1. Housing Assistance Needs of Lower Intone Households
1. Data Sources and Methods.
In preparing the overall estimate of housing assistance needs of lower-income
households (A. Owner Households and B. Renter Households), fou generally reliable
data sources were utilised; these four data sources are as follows:
1. Analysis of Housing Costs. In this Analysis,. 1970 Cessna statistics for
Bangor were utilized to detea9dne the number Of ]quer-income £mailies sho Are
spending a disproportionate ¢mount of their income an housing costs (see Appendix
A). Although the data (ones as rent end incase levels) used in this analysis is
nut -dated, it was assumed that housing conditions have not changed significantly,
so the 1970 data still provides a valid indicator of current reed.
In the first table (renters), it was determined that there are 1,343 families
whose incase is below 80% of the median incase fu Bangor and who am paying 35%
or more of their insure for rent (families paying between 25 and 34 per cent were
not included as this is considered a margirtal need area, whereas 3% and more is
considered a critical need area).
In this second table (owners), it sas determined that there are 490 fmdlies
whose income is below 80% of the median in woe for Bangor and who own homes with
values of 3 tines r more of their annual incomes. According t0 HUD guidelines
lower in one families Should not purchase homes with values exceeding 2 times
their annual incomes; thus, it was considered that -value between 2 and 2.99 times
income indicates marginal need, and value which is 3 or mare times intone indicates
critical need.
In correction, this data indicates that there are 1,343 lower insure renter
families and 490 homeowners requiring housing assistance. It was Assumed, however,
that a odado m of 10% of these farilies Are either adequately housed at present
or would not accept housing assistance, and this amount was deducted £ram both
of the above figures. In the final analysis, therefore it i estimated through
this method that there are 1,209 renter households And 441 owner households
(totalling 1,650 households) requiring housing assistance in Bangor.
2. Penobscot Valley Reginal Pleasing Commission Housing Plan. The Penobscot
Valley Regional Plasning Ca'aissiw completed in February, 1977 a Regional Housing
Plan which indicates that there is an chat need of 845 units of aasisted housing
wits for low and moderate income households in Bonbon. This estimate is based
primarily on An Analysis of food stern recipients in the City. This Hanning Plan
also indicates that there is an mwet need of 220 assisted housing wits fu
elderly peraonsl thin need is based on Cansus statistics (up -dated to 1975) And
takes into Account existing elderly housing wits. overall, the P.egiwal bossing
Plan estimates that there is a need for. 1,065 unite of assisted housing (elderly
and family) in Bangor.
3. Housing Evaluation Market Avelysia System (UmOB). RdsAS, first prepared in
1973 by the Maine State Housing Authority with the assistance of HSD Manchester Area
Office personnel, iarnicaa arnica which indicates low-income housing priorities and
estimated needs for communities 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. a £amines and unrelated individuals earning less than
d. % off f%mluesWand3unr)elated individuals adoring less than
$7,Ot00/yes3 )t paying more than 29% of their income for
a. % of inadequate housing to total Occupied units (W = 20%).
The State Housing Authority modified 10pME in June, 1977 by including 1975 poverty
data and by taking into consideration the cutest of low-income rental units developed
in each commmunity since 1970. This updated analysis estimates that in Barger there
is a low-income housing reed of 558 elderly units and 811 Panily wits for a total
of 1,369 assisted housing units.
4. Banger Housing Authority. The fourth and last, data source utilized was the
Bangor Housing Authority's "live" waiting List for assisted housing units. The Housing
Authority's 1978 waiting list of apparently eligible Applicants was as follows:
a. Elderly - 1 bed¢vom 256
b. Family - 2 bedrooms 548 -
3 bedrooms 52
4 + bedrooms o.
From this Housing Authority waiting list, it is clear that there is a drnonstrated
need in Bangor for 256 units of Elderly assisted housing and 600 units of Family
assisted housing, making a total of 856 units needed.
81E4WEf OF METHODS
It is felt that each of the above four methods, while reliable, either tends
to ov estimate or under -estimate the housing assistance needs of lower income
households in Bangor. Alan, each estimate does not sensors for the 161 units of
elderly housing that have been coomitted to Bangor by the Maine State Housing
Authority under the Section 8 program And are under construction but not yet sees -
plated or sampled; additomel units not accounted for are 61 units of elderly housing
omitted to Bangor by RUB under the Section 202 progress. Therefore, these units
have been deducted from each estimate of elderly emits needed, and the estimates
have been averaged to determine what is believed to be the most reliable estimate,
as follows:
Deducted
Original from Revised + Original _ Total
Method Elderly Elderly Elderly Family Heed
1. 222 4428
2. 220 222 0 845 845
3. 558 222 336 8n 1,147
4. 256 222 34 600 634
TOTAL
Average: 4,o54/4 - 1,o14
Using this averaging method, it is estimated that 1,014 lower income owner and renter
families presently residing in Bangor require housing assistance.
In order to determine the proportion between owner and renter households requir-
ing assistance, the Census statistics utilized in the first estimating method (Analysis
of Ecuaing Coats) were felt to be the best indicator. These statistics indicate that,
of all households requiring assistance, approximately 27% are owner households what
73% are renter households.
To determine the proportions between the "elderly or handicapped," "fanily" end
"large family" categories, it was felt that averaging the 'Elderly" and 'Family"
estimates in Methods 2, 3 and 4 above Pcevv ides an accurate indicates of relative need
in these groups (Method 1 does not break-Mit Elderly and Family). Elderly arecom -
sidered to make up apprwclmately 14% end 15% of the renter and owner households
respectively requiring assistance, had. families make up the remaining 86% (owner)
and 85% (renter) of the need.
In the family categories, it was determined that small families (4 or less persons)
represent 77% and 76% of the need for owner and renter households respectively; large
families (5 or more persons) represent 9% of the owner and renter need. These propor-
tions were established fr® the Bangor Housing Authordtys waiting list; large family
units are
om
considered to have 3 or more bedrooms. Me households to be displaced are
based on
actual surveys of residences to be acquired under the CM program.
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 Maine further indicate that 40¢ households of all the female -headed households
have om
ince below the poverty level. For lack of better data, therefore, it must be
assumed there are 402 female -headed households
in Banger requiring housing
assistance, and that these households are distributed according to the elderly, family
era large Sicily categories in the same proportion as the general households requiring
assistance.
Census statistics for renters indicate that, of37 Black/Negro households, 8
families are lower income and pay more then 2% of their income for rent. Similar
statistics for Black/tiegro haneoxrers was suppressed due to the lownumber of such
homeowners, so it is eatimated that the housing assistance needs of this group
(owner households) is in proportion to the overall population.
Me estimate of lower income American Indian households residing in Bangor and
requiring housing assistance was provided by the Central Maine Indian Association.
Estimates a Housing Assistance Weeds of Households Expected to Beside
According to an estimate prepered by the Maine State planning Office, the muster
of additional households expected to reside in Bechar and requiring housing assistance
is sero (0). This estimate was prepared doing methodology approved by the Manchester
Area Office of HUD.
II. Special Housing Assistance Needs of Lover -Income Households
Minority groups in Berger are very much a minority of the population as they are
throughout the State of Maine. In 1970, the Bureau of the Census determined that
McCoy's population was 332166, with the Mite population amounting to 32,655 (98.5%)
and the non -Mite population ®venting to 513 (1.9%). The white population included
- 234 Spanish Americans; the non-white populetion was composed of 307 Blacks, 89
American Indians, 68 Orientals, and 49 oth(.r races. In 1975, the Bureau of the Census
.completed a Special Census of Burger which indicated that the City's population was
32,205• Accorhning to this recent, Burger's non-white population had decreased from
the 1970 level of 513 to 330 farmers; me coe (1) percent of the City's population; this
on -Mite population amounted to 195 B1ac): sad 135 American Indians, Orientals and
other races.
Since minority groups constitute such a small part of Burger's population, there
are no residential concentrations of minorities in the City. Minority groups here
not been identified ahaving any particular housing needs or problems that are
different from or are more severe than the city as a whole.
F®a1e-headed households, in contract to minority groups, do present a signifi-
ant need for housing assistance. As is indicated in Table II -1, £emale-headed house-
holds represent 38% of all the households in the city needing housing assistance. This
estimate is substantiated by the City's experiences to Hate with its Section 8 Existing
Housing Program; under this ProgxBID, 88% of the occupied family housing unite are
ecapied by fesale-heeded households. Ho drg problems frequently encountered by
female -headed households are the txaditlmnil hisses of landlords against renting to
households headed by females and to housetu,lds 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 Burger.
It has been determined that there is a definite need in Bangor for housing assist-
s for handicapped persons. The State Bureau of Mental Retardation completed in
August, 1818 a wmprehensive survey of the housing assistance needs of the develop-
mentally disabled (those persons baring physical as well as mental handicaps). This
survey indicates that there are 27 non -elderly disabled persons having housing assist-
ance needs in Burger; these persons are generally young, single adults with little or
no personal incIn addition to these 27 non -elderly persona, it is estimated
that there are l3eelderly disabled households requiring housing assistance, to make a
total of 40 elderly and non -elderly handicapped households needing housing assistance.
Presently, the non -elderly handicappei housing resources in Bangor are as follows:
1. Homes Unlimited, Inc. - a group IDme providing shelter for 12 educable
r trainable mentally retarded adults;
2. The Independent Living Center - 10 units at Hanson College tor physically
handicapped adults; and
3. The Elizabeth Levinson Centex - a regional intermediate care facility
for 42 severely and profoundly re�aaded children between the ages of
2 and 18.
In addition to these facilities, there are a number of foster homes in Bangor pro-
viding shelter for handicapped persons. p:ry activity programa for the handicapped
are provided at a nwiber of centers in Bag:or including the M ltiple, Handicap Center
of Penobscot Valley, the Cerebral Palsy Centers and the Bangor Regional Beh bilitatien
Center.
In a consent decree rucently entered into by the State of Maine as the result
a of a suit brought by representatives of handicapped persons, the State has agreed
to deinstitutianalise the population of Pinelaad Hospitals its primacy facility
for mentally retarded persons, and to provide assistance for the establishment of
small, bommmity-based residential facilities for the mentally retarded. As the
result of this consent decree, several Barypr-based groups representing the handl-
capped currently are proposing to construct group h®es for the mentally retarded.

Table III - Three Year Housing Program
Narrative - The Three Year Goal for housing assistance set forth in Table III pro-
poses a variety of housing types for Bangor. While there are significant goals set
for existing and rehabilitated housing, the major emphasis is whow construction
of units in order to alleviate the low vacancy rate in the scramming.
During the past three years, 352 new assisted rental heading unite forthe
elderly have been c®itted to Bangor. Mesa units have indirectly assisted the
family housing needs in Bangor by providing existing units that were previously
occupied by elderly households but which now may be occupied by family households.
However] there still is a definite need for assisted family housing units. Accord-
ing to the goals established in the City of Bangor's 1976 three year Horn irg Assist -
once Plan, the City's goal of 410 assisted family housing units has net been achieved
and is deficient as shown below:
Elderly & small large
Total Handicapped Family Family
1976 HAP Goals 5m 90 340 '70
Committed Units 448 379 _56 13
Deficiency _ _ 284 57
Therefore, the City's Three Year Goal established herein addressee this deficiency
by setting a goal of 341 assisted family units, and gives first priority to meeting
the needs of family households.
The Three Year Goal establishes a goal of 21 new rental unite specifically
for the handicapped. This goal is set to meet the present housing needs of handi-
capped persons in Badger, and to meet the anticipated need provided by the deinsti-
tutionalization of handicapped persons, as discussed in the Table II narrative.
The City of Bangor intends to take a number of actions, if necessary, to
facilitate the ace®plishmevt of its housing goals. These actions include the
acquisition o4 sites and the provision of site improvements for the development of
assisted housing) me site designated for such action is the so-called Gas Works
area
in the Third -Main NCP. Other actions the City intends to take are updating
the City's Land Use Plan to open up new areas for the development of assisted housing,
and, inconjunction with the completion of this Plan update, the issuance of appro-
priate zone changes.
There currently is an established, active housing authority in Bangor. The
City intends to work with the Badger Humping Authority on all housing assistance
programa, particularly on securing an allocation of Section 8 Existing Keeping
Units. The Housing Authority serves a greater area than just Bangor, anal its
selection policies consequently make no reference as to rating prospective tenants
t on the basis of their residence or non -residence in Bangor.
The City of Bangor also intends to prorate and assist activities to enecurage
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 wits available for Section 8 Existing Housing participants. according
to State law, municipalities are prohibited fr® issuing tax abatements to reduce
the cost of housing development. However, as in the past, the City plans other
measures to reduce the coat of new bossing though assisting in the. development of
Tossing subdivisions; such participation will include financial participation in
the construction of public improvements (streets, sidewalks, sewers, etc.) in
subdivisions.
