6 <br /> needs to conceptualize a continuum of housing types to accommodate rapid growth in its senior <br /> population and then, invest in development of preferred housing models. <br /> The condition of the owner occupied housing stock is fairly sound. However, rental housing units <br /> range from fair to poor. Many of the higher quality rental housing units are located in the urban <br /> centers and close to the universities.The lower quality rental housing units are located in the rural <br /> areas. Improved code enforcement is needed to address these housing deficiencies. <br /> There is also a lack of"accessible" housing units in the County to address the needs of the <br /> physically disabled.

A decrease in the quality and the quantity of affordable rental housing <br /> has placed many of the very low-income households at imminent risk of becoming homeless. <br /> It is estimated that there are approximately 1,600 owner and renter occupied housing units that <br /> are suitable for rehabilitation work in Orange County. However, the cost of rehabilitation exceeds <br /> 4 <br />
