Recycling Neighborhoods: A Catalog of Housing Rehabilitation Programs and Neighborhood Preservation Activities in Texas. Part I - Program Catalog. First Edition

摘要

The purpose of Recycling Neighborhoods is to show the methods and tecniques Texas communities have chosed to implement the mandate of Congress to encourage the preservation of existing housing and neighborhoods. Those vary from neighborhood to neighborhood and from city to city. The catalog has been designed to be general enough to enable communities to understand the financial approaches utilized by those cities catalogued. This is especially true for communities unfamiliar with rehabilitation programs. Although these financial techniques are presented generally, the method of implementing the various financial programs administratively are more specific to graphically show how the programs are locally carried out. This detail should enable cities with established rehabilitation programs to make variations and refinements based on techniques utilized by other cities included in the catalog. Communities with on-going rehabilitation programs might also make use of the catalog to expand their present neighborhood preservation activities into other types of innovative approaches.
