South B nd Redevelopment Commission <br />Regular Meeting - March 31, 1980 <br />7.

HUD has <br />comiftitted itself to the housing authority - <br />if they wish to convert from home ownership <br />to standard public housing for $300,000.00 <br />modernization money for rehabilitation of <br />Har er Homes.
