City Views Housing Aid Divides City Council
City Council last night reaffirmed support for the Fourth Ward urban renewal project funded with federal dollars while delaying the proposed federally funded low income and elderly housing plan. Mayor Furst warned of a fish or cut bait choice in hiring a housing officer and building inspector, saying recertification hinges on filling the post. Council members voiced concern that the cooperative housing agreement would require tearing down or rehabilitating equal numbers of units and that non taxable federally financed property limits real revenue, leaving uncertain returns. The session underscored unease over federal influence on local housing policy and the lack of net housing unit gains.
