great deal about the center’s prog
rams, but added that he had assisted
in getting funds for it from the Leg
islature.

Council reviews
housing laws
By DEBBIE NELSON
Battalion Staff
The College Station City Council approved a Fair Housing Ordi
nance, reviewed the Northgate parking problem, and approved a
revision of the Housing Assistance Plan at the city council meeting
Thursday night.
The Fair Housing Ordinance prohibits, discrimination in the sale,
rental or financing of housing as required in the Community Develop
ment program. HUD mandates that all cities in the program adopt a
similar ordinance.
An overview of Northgate parking problems was presented by Chris
Mathewson of the Zoning Board of Adjustment.
Because consumer service stores are moving out of the Northgate
area and personal service stores like bars and restaurants are moving
in, Mathewson said, adequate parking is not available to comply with
the parking ordinance.
Mathewson suggested the city declare Northgate College Station’s
downtown and provide a city loan for a parking garage.
Councilman Gary Halter proposed Northgate become “a zone
where parking requirements may vary from the ordinance.”
Also approved was rent assistance to 40 additional low-income and
elderly households due to changes in the Expected to Reside (ETR)
figure, which predicts more low-income and elderly persons will be
moving to College Station if housing is available.
The city now aids 160 households of the 1,343 needing assistance.
The new ETR calculation brings rent-assistance households to 200 in
the city’s three-year housing assistance plan.
selves.”
Moore spoke of the growth and
works of the center since it was cre
ated in 1974. It now has a budget of
$1.75 million and a staff of 84. It is
funded by grants-in-aid from the
state and federal governments. To
receive the grants local matching
funds of at least 16 percent must be
provided, Moore said. Through city,
county, and United Way funds,
client fees and reimbursement from
other agencies more than two-and-a-
half times that amount has been pro
vided, he said.
Some of the services Moore men
tioned are drug and alcohol preven
tion and counseling, mental health
screening, vocational training, out
patient help and infant stimulation.
All services are confidential and
fees are based on a client s ability to
pay, Moore said.
The center serves residents in a
seven-county area: Brazos, Burle
son, Grimes, Leon, Madison,
Robertson and Washington coun
ties. About 6,00 residents have been
helped in the area-wide MH-MR cli
nics, he said.
