8The Daily Tar HeelFriday, January 17, 1986 from page 1 By ELISA TURNER Staff Writer The Chapel Hill Town Council has proprosed several public housing pro jects in the past 18 months, thereby loosening a very competitive housing market in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro area for low-income families, said Assistant Town Manager Sonna Loewenthal. "The cost of housing nationwide has gone up since 1981, and Chapel Hill has a particularly expensive housing market. It is second only to Cary," Loewenthal said. "With this tight market, low-income families are com peting for the available spaces in public housing and there is just not enough for everyone.' Mary McCallister, multi-family pub lic housing manager, agreed with Loewenthal, saying that Chapel Hill offered few residential sights with rents under $300 a month. "These low-income families just cannot survive in this type of market, McCallister said. "We currently have two to three hundred people on the waiting lists, and there will only be 52 houses opening up in the next month. There is just nowhere for these people logo." Loewenthal and McCallister both agreed that University students had a great deal to do with the cost of housing in the Chapel Hill area, because three to four students could pay a higher rent than a family with one or two wage earners. "Certainly landlords can get more money from a group of students than from a family of six,n McCallister said. ' . I fn r r t i "That way the landlords can raise the rents to whatever they wish." Loewenthal said there were also factors such as high construction costs, utility costs and real estate costs that made public housing an even greater liability. "Inflation has contributed " to the cutback in housing," Loewenthal said. "It is going to be an even more expensive project than before." McCallister said, "Reagan has intro duced large cutbacks in public housing, which has made it difficult to introduce more projects. This has forced the lower, income families into the private market, which can sometimes cost them up to half the amount of their gross income." Chapel Hill Public Housing, which is subsidized by the federal government by paying mortgages and rents, has suffered due to these cutbacks. "Because these funds are being cut out, we are having to raise some of the rents on these houses in order to finance maintenance and staff," McCallister said. "And there is a good possiblity that a lot of these sites will need to be sold." Twenty-three of the 260 families living in public housing are not paying rent, and 79 pay less than $100. "Thirty percent of the families in public housing earn $185 per month. If they were required to pay over $100, we would be defeating our purpose," McCallister said. More than 86 percent of the families are minorities, and 20 percent are handicapped or elderly. Unless a student is part of a family living there, public housing does not admit UNC students. "The reason is because of the long waiting lists," McCallister said. "By the time they wait two years or so, their need has probably presented another alternative."

The first 150 tickets will be lower arena seats and the rest will be upper arena seats, Brown said. There are about 300 Monogram Club members eligible for tickets. Pavao said another problem had been the distribution of tickets to club members who were no longer partic ipating on the team.
