Bex 1757 Plainview, Texas 79073-1757 RE: Request for Housing Assessment Study Dear Jerry: In response to your letter of December 4, 1989 a meeting of the South Plains Housing Finance Corporation (SPHFC) Board of Directors has been scheduled for The purpose of this meeting is to take action on the PHCIF's request for the SPHFC to conduct a housing need and feasibility study for the city of Plainview. Based on our experience and as a result of discussions with various consultants ! would recommend that a study of this nature provide the following information: (1) An analysis of the existing rental housing market which would include both occupancy levels and rental rates. (2) A determination of the need (or lack there of) for additional rental units. Should the study reveal a need for additional units, those factors contri- buting to the need should be cited. (3) In addition to analizing the broad picture, the study should focus on elderly, handicapped, and low/moderate income housing availability. (4) In the event that there is a valid need, the study should: (A) Recommend the number of additional units needed as well as suggest the optimum number of units that should be constructed. (B) State the anticipated rental rate that could be charged per unit. A Private, Non-Profit Corporation Page 2 December 12, 1989 Jerry Hinnenkamp (c) State the economic feasibility of developing new units in Plainview at this time. It is possible that there is additional information that you desire the study to provide. If this is the case, please let me know as soon as possible. The cost for a study of this nature should not exceed $10,000. On behalf of the SPHFC I would like to extend an invitation to you and any of your board members to attend the December , 1989 meeting.
