The location is centrally situated with easy access to schools, churches, shopping center, business offices, city ollices and other public and private facilities. The single street through the project will be Ford St., which connects with Highway 99 BR, correspondent Phebe Mc Guire reports. The authority's primary purpose is lo provide modern, sanitary homes for low Income groups at the lowest possible rents. To enable the authority to charge such low rents, the federal government, through the Public Housing Admin istration, pays the annual deficit.

To insure the dwellings being oc cupied by low income families, eligibility requirements must be. met by the tenants. They are based on income and numler of minor children. A program adopted five years ago allows admittance also of sin gle elderly persons and groups of elderly persons who are eligible from an income standpoint.
