The plan recommends that
permanent private residential
dwellings shall only be per-

for environmental reasons."’

ever come to their door,”’
said Irons. ‘‘This may in-
dicate that the presence of
Block Parent homes serves
as a deterrent to would-be
troublemakers.

that even if only one child in
distress is able to obtain
assistance from a Block
Parent, the program is
justified.”
