Community Windshield Assessment

 

 

You board the bus, and begin with your check list:

 

Community: Waipuna

 

Census Tract(s): 47-48

 

Identify physical boundaries:  Begins at the foothill of Waipuna, ends at the beginning of the Waiplia community.

 

You begin to rate the following on a scale of poor to new: 

 

Residential

Single family

   

You notice most of the homes were built forty or more years ago, most seem to have multiple families living together. How would you rate the condition of the community single residential housing? 

 

Public Housing

The housing projects seem run down, how would you rate the condition of this housing project?

 

Homeless Housing

                      

 

You notice people sleeping outside, and learn some are turned away due to insufficient bed space.


How would you rate the community’s housing to the homeless?

 

You have seen enough of community housing, and move on to infrastructure.

                                                

Proceed to infrastructure
