Excerpt from Department of Housing and Urban Development Urban Initiatives Program: Boston Housing Authority Proposal Since the inception of public housing programs in 1937, the Boston Housing Authority has been committed to providing safe, decent and sanitary housing for low income families and elderly residents of Boston. Today bha controls over housing units, one out of every ten housing units in Boston. Many of these units are located in developments troubled by a variety of physical, social and management problems. These problems have resulted from a combination of factors, including inadequate funding, management and maintenance difficulties, design deficiencies, obsolescence of major systems and equip ment, neighborhood deterioration, radical shifts in population, increasing frequency of crime and vandalism, and widespread feelings of fear and helplessness among public housing resi dents. There is no quick, simple and cheap solution to these problems, and a piecemeal approach simply does not work. The solution lies in an integrated and comprehensive approach which reflects the complex and interrelated nature of the pro hlems themselves. The Public Housing Urban Initiatives Program, using a comprehensive approach with substantial funds to back it up, provides the Boston Housing Authority with a real oppor tunity to begin to address these problems.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
