The Badger-Ann-Park Redevelopment Committee recommended a series of initiatives to be funded with the use of capital budget funds, one of which included the conversion of some rental properties along Badger Road into owner-occupied housing. This project stalled when the estimated costs of the project exceeded the available funding, due to temporary increases in occupancy. However, housing trends within the area continue to suggest the need for housing improvement initiatives. In May 2006, the Council authorized the issuance of an RFP to conduct a housing study in this area. The City received only one proposal.
