					The housing study was part of the collaborative project between the university, community, and government entities to address the needs of the neighborhoods affected by the I-49 Connector Project. The Community Design Workshop compiled the initial documentation of the study area, recorded the existing physical conditions, and documented the goals and concerns of the community. This documentation provided the basis for establishing a vision for the redevelopment of this fragmented yet distinctive district into a socially, culturally and economically thriving community. The implementation of the two primary relocation strategies (moving existing stock and construction of new residential stock) will require a combination of state government, local government, and private development. The moving and renovation of existing houses should be coordinated between the state and local governments to take advantage of property controlled by local government within the surrounding areas. The housing prototypes can aid state or local governments in constructing replacement houses for relocated residents. The development of micro-neighborhoods could be a collaborative effort between local government and private business to develop larger tracts of property. With the collaboration of residents, government, and businesses, the housing needs of a family could be met, while the redeveloped neighborhoods enhance the community as a whole.
