M. at the City Council Chambers, in which representatives of the Notre Dame Social Science Training and Research Laboratory will report on the recently completed City-wide Housing Study. This study was made possible by the Redevelop- ment Co*ission-and will provide a stepping stone to finding solutions for the ousing needs of South Bend. Also in connection with South Bend housing needs, Mrs. Curtis requested that the staff supply each of the Trustees with a copy of the tables showing the projected housing needs for families and individuals who are to be relocated from the cityls urban renewal projects. In answer to the question as to what programs South Bend has in order to meet the housing needs, it was reported that the following action has been taken. (1) Approval for The Greater South Bend Housing Corporation to build housing for the middle low income group; (2) Leased Housing Program to meet the needs of large, low income groups; and (3) The Turn Key Pro- gram whereby homes are built by private enterprise - for the federal govern- ment and the key is turned over to a public office, such as the Housing Authorit , for property management. However, in spite of these programs, the demand is greater than the supply because of the lack of rental housing particu rly for large families.
