<br />The third concern is the maintenance and rehabilitation
<br />of existing housing stock, which should be an ongoing
<br />concern of all communities. It is more of an issues in
<br />older communities than new ones, however. In those areas
<br />where rehabilitation is possible, it can be an effective
<br />and relatively inexpensive strategy for providing modest -
<br />cost housing.
<br />The Housing Element of the Comprehensive Plan is, therefore,
<br />an effort to respond to area -wide as well as local needs
<br />in terms of providing housing for an appropraite range
<br />of'income levels. The format for the information presented
<br />here is:
<br />1):.- INVENTORY of existing conditions (Low -and-
<br />Moderate Income Housing, Modest -Cost Housing,
<br />Housing Maintenance and Rehabilitation, and
<br />Programs Available); and
