2.2 Housing
to an eligible household. As of January 1, 2003, there were 2,718 housing units. Among
the vouchers issued, over 91 percent were given to households headed by a female. In
March 1998, 93 percent of the units were occupied; the City reported 100 percent
occupancy for years 2000 through 2003.
Table 2.2-52 below is an inventory of assisted housing developments within the City. As
shown in the table, the City of Inglewood has exceeded its regional housing need
allocation for lower-income households overall, and has successfully facilitated
development of a variety of housing types for all segments of the community, including
lower-income households and special needs groups. 17 However, as discussed above, the
City still lacks the required number of units for very-low-income persons, which have a
need for 221 new units and are currently provided 148 units. Additional housing projects
are underway in the City, including the Locust Senior Center/Senior Housing
development, which proposes approximately 20,000 to 30,000 square feet of senior
center space and 60 units of senior housing.

• Issues
• The City is experiencing a decrease in the single-family housing stock due, in part,
to the demolition of older single-family homes in multi-family zones replaced by
apartment or condominium development.
• The low percentage of home owners is an issue. Only 36 percent of Inglewood
residents were owners in 2000, compared to 48 percent for the County.
