<br /> Ransom. Housing Aide Ransom said that he had included the discussion of Stanford
<br /> because of all Peninsula jurisdictions , Stanford 1-171 shown itself most successful
<br /> in getting HUD money for housing—though that housing was for students who,
<br /> while perhaps not well off at the time , would be so in a few years . Lou Kno .11e_ s
<br /> said that the Stanford housing policy constituted institutionalized racism and
<br /> that perhaps a demand ought to be made that the federal government change its
<br /> guidelines to open such student housing to workers .

<br /> beh:i.ndhund in finding out about revenue sharing . He reminded Committee riaenberz
<br /> of a report in "Non-Profit Housing News " given there earlier , discussing proposed
<br /> ) 1dm : rL c ` +at LC1 budget cuts in the "236" Rent Supplement , cu d Public Housing
<br /> programs . .
<br /> •
<br /> Mr . Norris said that he had a general comment to make on the whole report .
<br /> The City has got to provide for low/moderate -income housing , he said . But the
<br /> report is weighted to that and contains no statements that higher income housing
<br /> must be brought into the City , too . Without that , he said , the City may never
<br /> achieve 10 imc ' . ate --income housing . 14r.' . 1origuchi said that the already
<br /> existing bias is for higher income housing; but that the Report should be written
<br /> so that a reader can see we 've looked at all existing housing stock.
<br /> Mrs . Henderson wondered what was meant by the " deepening national economic crisis "
<br /> and said she thou,pht the deepening municipal economic crisis" might be more
<br /> appropriate . Housing Aide Ransom said that by "national " economic crisis , he

<br /> segments of the couuraunity and all levels of government . The Committee seemed
<br /> to think that simpl.y. calling it the "deepen i+.ng econoi;ic Cr1SIS ” was better.

<br /> Ken Rowe asked ho! the Conmittee felt about the final })a:c'a€;:raph of the report .
<br /> Mrs . Henderson said that she thought that because it recommended solutions to
<br /> the housing problem it was not appropriate for a report on existing conditions .
<br /> Mr . Norris said that he thought talking about rent control was waving a red flag .
<br /> Housing Aide Ransom sacid that he thought the report would indeed be depressing if
<br /> it suggested no possible steps to be taken to solve the problem. Nonetheless ,
<br /> in the somewhat hurried last t rri i_nutes of the meeting , the consensus seemed to be
<br /> that -( he suggested f e,] irt;5. ons be dropped .

<br /> The meeting adjourned at 8 : 34 A . 1 .
<br /> The next meeting of the Housing Concerns Committee will be June .lit , 1972 .
