<br />The City of Paris was found to be not in conformance with DHUD Unitary Status
<br />in 1990. They have been addressing this problem, part of which is infrastructure,
<br />and part of which is housing, through grants and aids and local initiative.
<br />
<br />Many of the water, sewer, and street problems are solved or are currently being
<br />addressed.
<br />
<br />The City has a large number of substandard, owner-occupied single family
<br />structures. They are trying to provide a program to address at least 20
<br />units of rehabilitation per year.
<br />
<br />In addittion, they continue to reloan program income from previous TRRP
<br />funds to repair substandard rental property made available to low and
<br />moderate income families.
<br />
<br />The City is presently constructing, using local financing, a new Fire Station
<br />to better serve the City's growing population.
