Lines A and B Totals were developed by applying Section 8 Family Income Limits Related to 1974 Median Incomes for the Chicago, Il- linois, Area, deflated by 250, to the HUD Chicago Area Of- fice printout which enumerated Evanston households who were housed in undesirable conditions.based on 1970 housing and income census data. From the appropriate totals, 1250 university student house- holds, who qualified as "lower income" were subtracted. This estimate is based on information obtained from the 1970 U.S. Census, the Northwestern Graduate and Under- graduate Housing Offices, the National College Dean of Students, and the Kendall College Housing Department. The eligible student households were calculated as follows: 1. Total college population living in Evanston 8809 2. Total number of students living in dorms, fraternities or sororities - 5685 3. Total college population .living in Evanston off campus 3124 • 4. Total number of college households living off campus (line 3 i 2 1562 S.

Evanston's pe centage of lower income households to total households is 29 6 while the Northeastern Illinois Plan- ning Commission estimates the percentage for the Chicago Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA) to be 260 . The instructions for the 1976 Community Development Application prescribes that a community may only take its higher concentration into consideration by reducing its "expected to reside" figure by the difference between the community's percentage and that of the SMSA. As a result,.Evanston could reduce its "expected to reside" number, 910, which was derived in the prev.ious section, by 3% to 883. The City of Evanston finds it improper to use the adjustment formula established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development because of the following reasons: 1. The formula -requires the City of Evanston to assume the responsibility for housing additional lower income households when Evanston's concentration of lower income households is already above that of the SMSA. HUD's administrative rule on this matter is in direct contradiction to the following Congressional objective contained in Title I of the 1974 ©This percentage does not include Evanston's student• households. • If.they were considered, the percentage would be 32. Households were used instead of families because the only readily available ;statistical information from the 197b U.S. Census com- paring income to number of persons deals with households. -27- i Page 3 •• Table II Data Sources 8 Methods Housing and Community Development Act: the reduction of the isolation of income groups within communities and geographica.l areas and the promotion of an increase in the diversity and vitality of neighborhoods through the spatial deconcentration of housing opportuni- ties for persons of lower income . 2. The formula is mathematically faulty as it results in double accounting; e.g., a lower income Evanston household which is housed in undesirable conditions and whose head works in another community would be.counted in both Evanston's hous- ing needs and that of the other community. 3. The formula is an inadequate method for determining the number of "expected to reside" and cannot be considered to be a realistic measure against which to judge a community's "ex- pected to reside" estimate. 4. The formula did not appear in the Federal Register for com- ment and cannot be considered a reasonable or proper inter- pretation of Section CFR 570(c)(2)(ii)(A) which did appear. Because the City of Evanston has both a greater concentration of lower income persons than its metropolitan responsibility calls for and a limited capacity to house additional people of any in- come bracket, Evanston must adjust its "expected to reside" figure using the latitude that a reasonable interpretation of CFR 507.303 • (c)(2)(ii)(A) allows (in accordance with the previously mentioned Congressional objective). As a result, the only lower income house- holds which would be remotely expected to be residing in Evanston in the near future would be those who fill vacancies created by lower income Evanston households who move into newly -constructed units. Thus, the City is adjusting its "expected to reside" figure down to that number of households for which units may become available as a result of lower income Evanston residents moving into the planned Public Housing units and Simpson Street Site Section 8 units. IV. All Female -Headed Household Section The number of female -headed households was estimated using the fol- lowing formula: # of female -headed families below the # of female -headed poverty level families # of all families # of all families below the poverty level 3 x Appropriate All Households Cate gory All Female -Headed Household Category V. The appropriate totals for Elderly, Families, and Large Families were reduced by the number of public housing units which have been committed to Evanston. -28- Form Approved OMB No. 63R•1471 Pogo 1 of 2 pages U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT HOUSING ASSISTANCE PLAN TABLE III.

EXPLANATION OF SELECTION OF GENERAL LOCATIONS TO: June 30, 1976 1. New Construction A recent planning survey, which analyzed vacant buildable parcels in Evanston, showed very few remaining sites on which construction of new residential units in any income bracket could take place. Several of the remaining sites have already been scheduled for low income housing. (The City of Evanston has applied for and received approval of 40 low rent housing units for families on scattered sites and 101 units oflow'rent housing for the elderly on a site at Emerson and Sherman.) As a result, one must choose all of Evanston's residential areas as equally possible locations for additional new construction given the Community Development site criteria. (Parcels within the census tracts listed above which are now being utilized for commercial, industrial, resi- dential, governmental, or institutional uses are not suitable as possible sites.) 2. Rehabilitation The area in which housing rehabilitation for lower income housing should take place is dependent on'wliich of the criteria for site selection, outlined in the Community Development regulations, -is weighted greater. If equal importance is given to (1) further- ance of community revitalization (2) promotion of increased housing choices for low income persons (3) avoiding undue concen- trations of assisted housing in loci -income areas (4) availability of suitable units, then all residential areas within the City be- come possible locations as shown in Figure I1-1.
