  • Living in distress
    - Income - SFHA has the tenants with lowest income in the city
    - Crime -areas surrounding public housing have some of the highest crime rates
    - Employment - very low-income families are the least employed population in the city
     
  • Barriers to managing the environment
    - Vacates - prompt leasing and maintenance are difficult with constant vandalism of units
    - Average stay is low and turnover rate is high
    - Delinquent balance due is highest in this population and hardest to collect rent
     
  • Physical deterioration
    - Costs of rehabilitation per unit is highest per HUD's Total Development Cost rates
    - Average work order backlog is highest, imposing constant maintenance work
    - Units no longer meet Housing Quality Standards (HQS) due to age of housing stock
