However, theexisting neighborhoods should be monitoredso they do not attract too many additionalunits <strong>of</strong> subsidized housing.<strong>The</strong>se neighborhoods are at risk <strong>of</strong> beingover-concentrated and should be avoidedwhen building new subsidized housing orwhen using vouchers. <strong>The</strong>y should be furtherstudied to identify why there is a largerconcentration <strong>of</strong> vouchers and how to addressthis problem.<strong>The</strong>se neighborhoods are at risk <strong>of</strong> beingover-concentrated and should be avoidedwhen building new subsidized housing orwhen using vouchers. Small scaledeconcentration and relocation efforts couldbe helpful as well to reduce the existingconcentration.<strong>The</strong>se neighborhoods are at risk <strong>of</strong> beingover-concentrated and should be avoidedwhen building new subsidized housing orwhen using vouchers.
