Dear Mr. Arnold: Reference is made to your letter of August 28, 1967, to Ivan Allen, Jr., Mayor, relative to the above captioned property, which is owned by your Mother, Mrs. Sarah H. Arnold. All property that is acquired by The Housing Authority of the City of Atlanta, is appraised by two well-qualified, independent appraisers and the prices paid are the ones established by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. While it is true that we have to resort to condemnation of property at times, this action is not used to coerce property owners but is used for their protection. The law states that the condemning authority must pay just and adequate compensation as of _ the day of the taking and the courts have defined this as market value. In all cases we strive to treat owners equally and fairly in negotiation for the purchase of their property. I can assure you that the improvements that were made to the property were taken into consideration when the final appraisal was made. Our staff makes a eareful review and an inspection of each property before a price is established. COPY Mr. Jerry I.

CHILES ... a lifetime leader in the growth of Atlanta ... a member of the Board of Commissioners for the Atlanta H ousing Authority for 19 years, and Chairm an of the Board for more than eight years. �i" IVAN ALLEN, JR. Mayor of Atlanta TO THE HONORABLE IV AN ALLEN, JR., Mayor of the City of Atlanta, we present this Progress Report covering the fiscal year, July 1, 1965-June 30, 1966. This is the 27th year of the Atlanta Housing Authority's existence, and this 25th report of the Authority's operations includes both public housing and urban redevelopment activities. The report is presented as a published account of the accomplishments of this Authority, an accounting of its stewardship, and includes a forecast of future activities to be undertaken in the public interest. The Board of Commissioners and staff of The Atlanta Housing Authority Atlanta, Georgia JESSE B. BLA YTON, SR. Commi ssioner EDWIN L. STERNE Chairman GEORGES. CRAIT Vice Chairman FRANK G. ETHERIDGE Commissioner M. B. SATTERFIELD Exec uti ve Director L. �THE STORY OF THE AUTHORITY WHEN CONGRESS PASSED its epoch-making Housing Act in 193 7 the object was to provide low-rent housing of acceptable minimum standards for low-income families. Thus the U.S. Housing Authority was created. To take advantage of this federal assistance, the General Assembly of Georgia enacted the Housing Authorities Law of the State of Georgia, which permitted Atlanta and other cities in the state to seek the benefits which have raised the standard of living for many thousands of low-income residents. The City of Atlanta quickly responded by creating the Atlanta Housing Authority in 1938. As provided in the state law, the Authority consisted of a commission of five members, appointed by the Mayor and confirmed by the Governor of Georgia. The commissioners serve without pay and act as a Board of Directors. The Authority was organized as a non-profit corporation. It is non-political. It is not a Federal Agency, nor is it directly controlled by the state or the city. Operating under the State Housing Law, it is subject to Federal laws and regulations to the same extent as any private corporation would be subject to them if it borrowed money from the federal government. The Atlanta Housing Authority is purely a local organi zation created by the City of Atlanta and authorized by housing laws of the State of Georgia , with financial assistance from the federal government, for two purposes: (1) to provide decent, safe and sanitary housing at rentals low income families can afford; and (2) to help eliminate slums and blight in certain designated urban renewal areas through redevelopment and rehabilitation . ���ATLANTA'S PUBLIC HOUSING AT A GLANCE History Techwood Homes was Atlanta's ... and the nation's . .. introduction to public housing in 1936 by virtue of the Public Works Administration. It was a momentous day in mid-summer when the 604 units were completed and some 1800 individuals moved from the squalor of blighted neighborhoods into the pleasing atmosphere of the carefully designed Techwood Homes. Not quite a year later, University Homes were completed with 675 apartments providing housing for almost 2000 people. Today ... almost 30 years after these initial developments . .. Atlanta has fifteen public housing developments and is continually striving to provide the 30,444 people who live in these low-rent facilities an environment which is both physically and socially satisfactory. Hou sing managers and management aides at each development conduct a continuing program to assist these families. They stress th e importance of prompt rent payment, good housekeeping, school attend ance, pl easant relations with their nei ghbors , and workin g with oth ers for the improvement of the community. T o help meet the needs of the elderly citizen s, the Authority has built three hi gh-ri se buildings exclusively for these senior citizens. The Authority welcomes families with children , and more than half the resjdents in public housing are minors. A woman heads the hou sehold in 57 % of the total families, which range in size from one to fifteen people. Purpose The public housing division of the Atlanta Hou sing Authority h as as one of its main purposes to provide safe and sanitary housing for A tl anta's low income famili es at rents they can afford to pay. Eligibility E li gibility fo r admi ssion is based on an applicant coming under the definition of "Family", who has . some source of income, is living in un safe, un sanitary, overcrowded conditions or displaced by urb an renewa l or oth er governmental action , and does not own a dwellin g unit in metropoli ta n Atlanta. R ents are based on net fa mily income. Techwood Homes �1936 / TECHWOOD HOMESFIRST LOW-RENT public housing in the nation, Atlanta's Techwood Homes made history as an experimental housing project completed by the Public Works Administration. The 604-unit development was assumed by the Atlanta Housing Authority in 1940 under a lease with the United States Housing Authority, with a transfer of title from the federal government to the Atlanta Housing Authority conveyed in June 1954. More than 1200 people now live in this project. 1937 / UNIVERSITY HOMESFORMERLY KNOWN as "Beaver's Slide", this 675-apartment development was constructed on a former slum site almost in the heart of a university campus. Like Techwood Homes, these units were originally built by the Federal Government, assumed by lease to the Atlanta Housing Authority in 1940 with title transferred to the Authority in June 1954. Nearby are six colleges and universi ties in this predominantly residential section of the city. 1940 / JOHN HOPE HOMES ADJOINING UNIVERSITY HOMES, the 606 units at John Hope provide housing for more th an 2000 residents. This was the first project actually constructed by the Atlanta Housing Authority. Included in the clearance and rehousing program was the demolition of a la rge number of substand ard houses located on the project site. �1940 / CLARK HOWELL HOMES -SOME 450 SLUM houses were demolished and replaced by 630 fa mily units when the Clark Howell Homes were opened. Adjoining Techwood Homes in the Georgia Tech area, this $3-million development houses some 1900 people. 1941 / JOHN J. EAGAN HOMES -THE JOHN J. EAGAN HOMES were available for occupancy in April with 548 apartments replacing a partially vacant area where 74 slum houses were torn down. More than 1900 residents now live in Eagan Homes. 1941 / GRADY HOMES - ALMOST 700 of the city's worst slum dwellings were destroyed to mak e way for the 616-unit Grady Homes. These close-to-downtown Atlanta apartments were occupied in August, and now house more th an 1900 people. �1941 / ALONZO F. HERNDON HOMES-CONSTRUCTION ON THE last of three of Atlanta's lowrent housing developments completed in 1941 were the Alonzo F. Herndon Homes. These 520 units added substantially to the city's ever-growing need for low-rent housing. More than 2000 people live in this near-downtown area of the city. 1942 / CAPITOL HOMES-ACCESSIBILITY TO WORK, schools, shopping and transportation is given careful consideration in choosing a project location . Capitol Homes meet all of these requirements. The original contract called for 795 units, but in order to accommodate the great demand for housing elderly people a number of the larger units were converted into efficiency units, bringing the total to 815 units. Some 680 of the city's worst slum dwellings were destroyed to permit the construction of this development where 2000 residents now live. 1953 / CARVER COMMUNITYWITH THE TERMINATION of World War II, and in a city where thousands of returning servicemen were seeking a place to live, the first post-war project of the Atlanta Housing Authority was completed . Carver Community, a development of 990 units with more than 4500 residents, is adj acent to shopping conveniences, schools and m any commercial facilities. �., I" 1955 I HEMAN E. PERRY HOMES -A WELL PLANNED low-rent project developed on wooded and rolling terrain is Heman E . Perry Homes. The 1000unit project is Atlanta's largest. Private developments adjacent to Perry Homes add up to a balanced, model community for the 4700 residents, including 3306 children. 1. 1956 I JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS HOMES - NAMED AFTER THE creator of the fa mous Uncle Remus stories who once lived in the a rea, this 510-unit development is located in one of Atlanta's oldest and most substantial residential sections. When the area was designated as a site for low-rent housing, eligible families living on the parcels acquired were permitted to rem ain as tenan ts. H arris Homes is accessible to the community's shopping district, schools, churches and has the pl easing atmosphere of a good nei ghborhood . 1964 I J. W. E. BOWEN HOMES - WELL LANDSCAPED GRASSY lawns and ingeniously devised quadrangles for play areas have helped establish a new outlook for ten ants in Bowen Homes, newest of Atl anta's public housing projects. The 650-unit development opened its doors in early spring boasting of many attractive features-four and five-bedroom units, bath and a half, adequate closet and storage space, and convenient transportation to downtown Atlanta. With fin ancial aid from the AtlantaFulton County Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc. the Bowen Homes Day Care Center opened in April 1965 . The Center serves almost 100 children. �THE ELDERLY: A SPECIAL GROUP THE ELDERLY ARE of great concern to the Atlanta Housing Authority. Indications are that they will continue to be so for several reasons. Their numbers are increasing, their incomes are low, they are hurt by spiralling costs, and they are least able to bear extra expense if relocation is necessary. To meet the needs, the Authority has built during the past two years three high-rise buildings exclusively for this special group of elderly citizens. In planning housing for this large number of retirement age and beyond, the Authority remembered their special needs ... recreational space, .facilities for hobbies, sidelines and social activities. They must also be near medical centers and clinics to maintain fair standards of health and care. All of these requisites and advantages have been taken into account in these three special buildings. �THE PALMER HOUSE - a 3-tower 17-story complex of 250 units, located adj acent to Techwood Homes, with 269 ten ants . . . average age 70 . .. average monthly rental $31.00. ~ ANTOINE GRAVES HOMES - an 8-story high-rise buil d ing with 210 uni ts, located adjacent to Grad y Homes . . . with 224 tenants ... average age 70 . . . avera ge mo nthly rental $29 .88.

During the past year 850 people expressed a desire to see the program first-hand and were given an opportunity to tour the entire area by transit bus. These tours operate under the sponsorship of Atlanta's Citizens Advisory Committee for Urban Renewal and are conducted by staff members of the Atlanta Housing Authority. An assortment of descriptive publications and graphic material is available through the Public Information Office of the Authority. Slide show presentations · of the housing and urban renewal program, after dinner speeches, classroom lectures, press releases, etc. , are also used in keeping the public alert and informed. �I "I want to say to General Sherman, that from the ashes he left us in 1864 we have raised a brave and beautiful city; that somehow or other we have caught the sunshine in the bricks and mortar of our homes and have builded therein not one ignoble prejudice or memory." IVAN ALLEN , SR. Atlanta From the Ashes - 1929 �Planning GOOD PLANNING is the first and most vital aspect of the physical process of urban redevelopment. It takes into consideration the needs and desires of the city and its people. The efforts of the planner are then concentrated into attaining practical usage of the area while maintaining esthetic desirability. Step Number One in the planning process is the area designation by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen. When this designation has been made the Atlanta Housing Authority, as the city's Agency, works with the City Planning Department, the Metropolitan Planning Commission, and the Planning Department of the R enewal Assistance Administration of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, in preparing plans for the redevelopment of the project area. The BUTLER STREET and BUTTERMILK-BOTTOMS projects, for example, were planned primarily for commercial u se due to their location just two blocks east of the Central Business District. Other projects such as GEORGIA TECH, GEORGIA STATE, UNIVERSITY CENTER and HOW ARD HIGH resulted in freeing landlocked educational institutions from barriers to feasible growth patterns. Special procedures are employed in devising plans for combination clearance-rehabilitation projects such as UNIVERSITY CENTER , WEST END, and BEDFORDPINE. Other project areas in Atlanta served as sites for much needed public facilities such as the auditorium in BUTTERMILK-BOTTOMS and the Atlanta Stadium in the RAWSON-WASHINGTON project area. T he remaining land area in both of these projects is being used for residential, commercial, industrial and institutional as dictated by specific needs for the area involved. �The dislocation caused by the non-residential projects resulted in residential use of two large project areas on the outskirts of the city. The THOMASVILLE Urban Renewal Project and ROCKDALE Urban Renewal Project, both located near outlying suburban ar.eas, were planned for residential use. Prior to development, both consisted of poorly constructed substandard houses. Now nearing completion, THOMASVILLE contains more than 200 owner-occupied single family dwellings. Incorporated into the plan is a new elementary school, city park, shopping center, expansion of church facilities, and a site for 350 units of low rent public housing. Land in the ROCKDALE project has recently been put on the market. Its intended use is for multi-family residential with supporting public and commercial developments. �Rehabilitation SIMPLY DEFINED ... Rehabilitation is a program of community or home improvement involving property owners in an area where deterioration has occurred but where structures are basically sound. Primarily, the aim of rehabilitation is to upgrade structurally sound homes and extend their useful lives to the ma-ximum. In following through the plan of action for better living, the individual home owner brings his property up to modern day standards of good living. In this way, the area remains stable, and through citizen participation the community is improved esthetically. Financial assistance is available to homeowners in an urban renewal area through the Loan and Grant Program. Project offices located in each project area staff rehabilitation specialists to assist homeowners in determining what to repair, which contractors to select, and how to finance the work that is consequently done. The major effort in Atlanta's West End Urban Renewal Project is aimed at the improvement of more than 1400 structures - both residential and commercial - which are basically sound but in need of major improvements . ��Acquisition THE ATLANTA HOUSING AUTHORITY purchases properties scheduled for clearance within the project areas. Acquisition price by law must be current fair market value. This is determined by independent professional appraisers making two separate appraisals. If property owner is not satisfied with the price offered, he has recourse to the courts where a final determination of current fair market value can be made. Most properties, however, are acquired through negotiation between the owner and a real estate officer of the Authority. Atlanta's eleven urban renewal projects contain 2552.2 acres; 1108.5 acres are to be acquired. The remaining acreage consists of rehabilitation areas and other land not to be acquired. The Authority has acquired 3,258 residential structures, of which more than 63 % were substandard; also 825 commercial , industrial and institutional buildings. Four Atlanta projects - GEORGIA STATE, GEORGIA TECH, UNIVERSITY CENTER AND HOW ARD HIGH SCHOOL - were designed to obtain land for expansion of landlocked schools. The HOW ARD HIGH project was the first completed urban renewal project in the Atlanta program. When some portion of land within a project boundary is needed for special public use before the full project is brought into execution, this land can be acquired by Early Land Acquisition. Excellent examples of this are the new $I-million C. W. Hill School in the BEDFORDPINE project and the $9-million auditorium-convention hall complex under construction in BUTTERMILKBOTTOMS project. Both land sites were acquired through Early Land Acquisition. I I �.., Demolition DEAn END ~ ONE OF THE great community benefits of urban renewal is the removal of unsafe, unsanitary and inadequate buildings. Depicted here are typical slums that show the need for new and better homes ... for parks and playgrounds ... for better businesses ... for broader streets and other public improvements. These subjects for demolition are characteristic of the type structures Atlanta can do without ... and what must eventually give way to better living in a proud and evergrowing metropolis. �Relocation means People: IN URBAN RENEW AL areas where clearance of structures is necessary, many families and individuals must be moved. Since Atlanta's urban renewal program began in late 1959, the Relocation Staff of the Atl anta Housing Authority has had the responsibility of helpi ng 5,484 families move into better housing. Of this number, 4. 721 have now been relocated , and of those who can be traced, 95 % are now relocated in standard housing. In addition, 41 4 businesses have been taken in to the workload, and 397 have been successfully relocated. The City of Atlanta on April 30, 1964 contracted with the Atlanta Housing Authority to provide relocation assistance for households being displaced by code enforcement, highway construction, and other governmental �People are our greatest responsibility action. Since that date, 724 households have been referred to the Authority, resulting in the rehousing of 472 families. Under the terms of the Loan and Grant Contract with the federal government, the Authority receives a full federal grant to pay the moving expenses of those having to move. The grant also covers a relocation assistance payment to families whose incomes are below established levels to underwrite a portion of the rent at the new location. Project offices are set up by the Atlanta Housing Authority in each project area. A trained relocation staff is available to provide information and to assist each family or indi vidual in finding adequate standard housing. �Redevelopment Atlanta Stadium THE MOST PLEASING visible aspect of urban renewal is the redevelopment phase of the program. Parks, stadiums, motels, apartments, college facilities, schools, auditoriums, office buildings stand tall against the skyline and enhance the livability of a city. Areas that once fostered economic and social blight that taxed the city's services are now transformed into economically strong contributors to the area's physical and fiscal well being. Atlanta's BUTLER STREET project exemplifies the most outstanding redevelopment achievement. An area, consisting of 249 acres, which formerly housed some 954 families , now includes dwelling units of moderate and low income housing, high rise luxury apartments, modern motel facilities, and major commercial redevelopment. The adjustments in land use and transportation patterns adjoining the expressway interchange is an outstanding example of coordinated planning and redevelopment. The relocation of almost 700 families and more than 230 individuals, as well as some 100 businesses, is a major accomplishment. Other projects showing significant redevelopment include the RAWSON-WASHINGTON project, site of Atlanta's $18-million stadium ; UNIVERSITY CENTER - where six colleges and universities are expanding their facilities ; THOMASVlLLE - a new residential neighborhood; and BUTTERMILK-BOTTOMS, site of the new $9-million auditorium and convention hall . _J �..., John Hancock Building - Butler Street University Park - University Center ~ Landmark Apartments - Butler Street �New Neighborhood -Thomasville University Plaza Apartments - University Center Agnes Jones School - University Cente_r �GROSS STATISTICS ATLANTA PUBLIC HOUSING PROGRAM ATLANTA HOUSING AUTHORITY Number of Public Housing Projects .

They stress the importance of prompt rent payment, good housekeeping, school attendance, pleasant relations with their neighbors, and working with others for the improvement of the community. To help meet the needs of the elderly citizens, the Authority has built three high-rise buildings exclusively for these senior citizens. The Authority welcomes families with children, and more than half the residents in public housing are minors. A woman heads the household in 57% of the total families, which range in size from one to fifteen people. Purpose The public housing division of the Atlanta Housing Authority has as one of its main purposes to provide safe and sanitary housing for Atlanta’s low income families at rents they can afford to pay. Eligibility Eligibility for admission is based on an applicant coming under the definition of “Family”, who has. some source of income, is living in unsafe, unsanitary, overcrowded conditions or displaced by urban renewal or other governmental action, and does not own a dwelling unit in metropolitan Atlanta. Rents are based on net family income.  1937 / UNIVERSITY HOMES — FORMERLY KNOWN as “Bea- ver's Slide”, this 675-apartment de- velopment was constructed on a former slum site almost in the heart of a university campus. Like Techwood Homes, these units were originally built by the Federal Gov- ernment, assumed by lease to the Atlanta Housing Authority in 1940 with title transferred to the Author- ity in June 1954. Nearby are six colleges and universities in this predominantly residential section of the city. 1936 / TECHWOOD HOMES — FIRST LOW-RENT public hous- ing in the nation, Atlanta’s Tech- wood Homes made history as an experimental housing project com- pleted by the Public Works Admin- istration. The 604-unit develop- ment was assumed by the Atlanta Housing Authority in 1940 under a lease with the United States Housing Authority, with a transfer of title from the federal govern- ment to the Atlanta Housing Authority conveyed in June 1954. More than 1200 people now live in this project. 1940 / JOHN HOPE HOMES — ADJOINING UNIVERSITY HOMES, the 606 units at John Hope provide housing for more than 2000 residents. This was the first project actually constructed by the Atlanta Housing Authority. Included in the clearance and re- housing program was the demoli- tion of a large number of sub- standard houses located on the project site. 1940 / CLARK HOWELL HOMES —SOME 450 SLUM houses were demolished and replaced by 630 family units when the Clark How- ell Homes were opened. Adjoining Techwood Homes in the Georgia Tech area, this $3-million develop- ment houses some 1900 people. 1941 / JOHN J. EAGAN HOMES —THE JOHN J. EAGAN HOMES were available for occupancy in April with 548 apartments replac- ing a partially vacant area where 74 slum houses were torn down. More than 1900 residents now live in Eagan Homes. 1941/GRADY HOMES — AL- MOST 700 of the city’s worst slum dwellings were destroyed to make way for the 616-unit Grady Homes. These close-to-downtown Atlanta apartments were occupied in August, and now house more than 1900 people.  1941 / ALONZO F. HERNDON HOMES—CONSTRUCTION ON THE last of three of Atlanta’s low- rent housing developments com- pleted in 1941 were the Alonzo F. Herndon Homes. These 520 units added substantially to the city’s ever-growing need for low-rent housing. More than 2000 people live in this near-downtown area of the city. 1942 / CAPITOL HOMES — AC- CESSIBILITY TO WORK, schools, shopping and transportation is given careful consideration in choosing a project location. Capitol Homes meet all of these requirements. The original contract called for 795 units, but in order to accommodate the great demand for housing elder- ly people a number of the larger units were converted into efficiency units, bringing the total to 815 units. Some 680 of the city’s worst slum dwellings were destroyed to permit the construction of this de- velopment where 2000 residents now live. 1953 / CARVER COMMUNITY— WITH THE TERMINATION of World War II, and in a city where thousands of returning servicemen were seeking a place to live, the first post-war project of the Atlanta Housing Authority was completed. Carver Community, a development of 990 units with more than 4500 residents, is adjacent to shopping conveniences, schools and many commercial facilities.  1956 / JOEL CHANDLER HAR- RIS HOMES — NAMED AFTER THE creator of the famous Uncle Remus stories who once lived in the area, this 510-unit development is located in one of Atlanta’s oldest and most substantial residential sections. When the area was desig- nated as a site for low-rent hous- ing, eligible families living on the parcels acquired were permitted to remain as tenants. Harris Homes is accessible to the community’s shopping district, schools, churches and has the pleasing atmosphere of a good neighborhood. 1955/ HEMAN E. PERRY HOMES — A WELL PLANNED low-rent project developed on wooded and rolling terrain is Heman E. Perry Homes. The 1000- unit project is Atlanta’s largest. Private developments adjacent to Perry Homes add up to a balanced, model community for the 4700 residents, including 3306 children. 1964/J. W. E. BOWEN HOMES — WELL LANDSCAPED GRASSY lawns and ingeniously devised quadrangles for play areas have helped establish a new out- look for tenants in Bowen Homes, newest of Atlanta’s public housing projects. The 650-unit development opened its doors in early spring boasting of many attractive fea- tures—four and five-bedroom units, bath and a half, adequate closet and storage space, and convenient transportation to downtown At- lanta. With financial aid from the Atlanta- Fulton County Economic Oppor- tunity Atlanta, Inc. the Bowen Homes Day Care Center opened in April 1965. The Center serves al- most 100 children.  THE ELDERLY: A SPECIAL GROUP THE ELDERLY ARE of great concern to the Atlanta Housing Authority. Indications are that they will con- tinue to be so for several reasons. Their numbers are increasing, their incomes are low, they are hurt by spiralling costs, and they are least able to bear extra expense if relocation is necessary. To meet the needs, the Authority has built during the past two years three high-rise buildings exclusively for this special group of elderly citizens. In planning housing for this large number of retirement age and beyond, the Au- thority remembered their special needs... recreational space, facilities for hobbies, sidelines and social activities. They must also be near medical centers and clinics to maintain fair standards of health and care. All of these requisites and advantages have been taken into account in these three special buildings. a ANTOINE GRAVES HOMES — an 8-story high-rise building with 210 units, located ad- jacent to Grady Homes... with 224 tenants... average age $29.88. FO asc THE PALMER HOUSE —a 3-tower 17-story complex of 250 units, located adjacent to Tech- wood Homes, with 269 tenants...average age 70...average monthly rental $31.00. Bon 8 . -e a Se = i JOHN O. CHILES HOMES — a 250-unit proj- ect, with 222 apartments in a 10-story high-rise building and 28 garden-type apartments... ad- . average monthly rental jacent to Joel Chandler Harris Homes... with 272 tenants... average age 71... average monthly rental $28.50. In addition to the high-rise buildings for the elderly, two of the Atlanta low-rent housing projects— Capitol Homes and Bowen Homes — have separate low-rise units for this special group of resi- dents. Capitol Homes has 20 elderly units...average age 70... average monthly rental $26.50. Bowen Homes has 48 elderly units... average age 72...average monthly rental $24.83.

During the past year 850 people expressed a desire to see the program first-hand and were given an opportunity to tour the entire area by transit bus. These tours operate under the sponsorship of Atlanta’s Citizens Advisory Committee for Urban Renewal and are conducted by staff members of the Atlanta Housing Authority. An assortment of descriptive publications and graphic material is available through the Public Information Office of the Authority. Slide show presentations of the housing and urban renewal program, after dinner speeches, classroom lectures, press releases, etc., are also used in keeping the public alert and informed. METRO GOLDWYN MAYER “T want to say to General Sherman, that from the ashes he left us in 1864 we have raised a brave and beautiful city; that somehow or other we have caught the sunshine in the bricks and mortar of our homes and have builded therein not one ignoble prejudice or memory.” IVAN ALLEN, SR. Atlanta From the Ashes — 1929  Planning GOOD PLANNING is the first and most vital aspect of the physical process of urban redevelopment. It takes into consideration the needs and desires of the city and its people. The efforts of the planner are then concentrated into attaining practical usage of the area while maintain- ing esthetic desirability. Step Number One in the planning process is the area designation by the Mayor and Board of Aldermen. When this designation has been made the Atlanta Housing Au- thority, as the city’s Agency, works with the City Planning Department, the Metropolitan Planning Commission, and the Planning Department of the Renewal Assistance Ad- ministration of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, in preparing plans for the redevelopment of the project area. The BUTLER STREET and BUTTERMILK-BOT- TOMS projects, for example, were planned primarily for commercial use due to their location just two blocks east of the Central Business District, Other projects such as GEORGIA TECH, GEORGIA STATE, UNIVERSITY CENTER and HOWARD HIGH resulted in freeing land- locked educational institutions from barriers to feasible growth patterns. Special procedures are employed in devising plans for combination clearance-rehabilitation projects such as UNIVERSITY CENTER, WEST END, and BEDFORD- PINE. Other project areas in Atlanta served as sites for much needed public facilities such as the auditorium in BUT- TERMILK-BOTTOMS and the Atlanta Stadium in the RAWSON-WASHINGTON project area. The remaining land area in both of these projects is being used for resi- dential, commercial, industrial and institutional as dic- tated by specific needs for the area involved. The dislocation caused by the non-residential projects resulted in residential use of two large project areas on the outskirts of the city. The THOMASVILLE Urban Renewal Project and ROCKDALE Urban Renewal Proj- ect, both located near outlying suburban areas, were planned for residential use. Prior to development, both consisted of poorly constructed substandard houses. Now nearing completion, THOMASVILLE contains more than 200 owner-occupied single family dwellings. In- corporated into the plan is a new elementary school, city park, shopping center, expansion of church facilities, and a site for 350 units of low rent public housing. Land in the ROCKDALE project has recently been put on the market. Its intended use is for multi-family resi- dential with supporting public and commercial develop- ments.  Rehabilitation SIMPLY DEFINED... Rehabilitation is a program of community or home improvement involving property owners in an area where deterioration has occurred but where structures are basically sound. Primarily, the aim of rehabilitation is to upgrade struc- turally sound homes and extend their useful lives to the maximum. In following through the plan of action for better living, the individual home owner brings his prop- erty up to modern day standards of good living. In this way, the area remains stable, and through citizen par- ticipation the community is improved esthetically. Financial assistance is available to homeowners in an urban renewal area through the Loan and Grant Program. Project offices located in each project area staff rehabili- tation specialists to assist homeowners in determining what to repair, which contractors to select, and how to finance the work that is consequently done, The major effort in Atlanta’s West End Urban Renewal Project is aimed at the improvement of more than 1400 structures — both residential and commercial — which are basically sound but in need of major improvements.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The additional persons serve as substitutes in the event of the absence of the regular Foster Grandparent and as re- placements for those leaving the Project. Senior Citizen Services initiated a limited demonstration project combining the elements of an information center and a gift shop. The Center serves as a convenient location for providing information and it provides to Senior Citizens of the Atlanta Metropolitan Area an outlet for selling at a profit articles which they create, thus increasing income and enabling this group to satisfy the need for productive work and constructive use of leisure time. Approximately $1,200.00 in sales has been realized in the three months of operation. Ninety percent of this money goes directly to the Senior Citizens whose consignment articles have been sold and ten percent is retained by the Gift Shop to cover operating expenses.

SCS has a Board of Trustees composed of community leaders representing Fulton, DeKalb, Clayton, Gwinnett and Cobb counties. A professional advisory committee consults and makes recommendations to the Board of Trustees and staff. An advisory council of agencies serves as a clearing house and a means of education for everyone concerned with the problems arid opportunities associated with aging. In addition to assessing problems and developing needed resources, SCS acts as a central agency, providing consultation and referrals to churches, he Ith and welfare agencies, and civic groups which may already have established programs or may wish to initiate new ones. SCS strives to integrate services for the elderly with those of other groups, and works continuously for wider understanding of the problems and potentials of aging citizens. Special projects already under way include: 1) Day Care Center. Provides a semi-protective environment during daytime hours and po tpones full-time nursing home care; 2) Foster Grandparent Employment; 3) Operation and staffing of programs in three high rise apartment units constructed by the Atlanta Housing Authority. Known as Multi-Service Senior Centers, the e include the John 0. Chiles Homes, the Antoine Graves Homes and the Palmer Hou e. 4) Senior Citizens Exchange. An information center and gift shop featuring articles created by senior citizens. SCS is supported by funds from Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc.; the Georgia Commission on Aging through the Older Americans Act; private foundation ; individual contribution . �!

It is the measure they use for deciding their importance to others, and it is their source of strength for helping those around them. Good health, independence and freedom from poverty for persons of any age, but especially for the elderly, depend upon these necessities of daily living: Adequate income Recreation Satisfactory housing Useful service Nutritious diet Continuing education Adequate rest Citizen participation Sufficient exercise Friends Regular health checkups —/ eee eR Community leaders discuss needs and help develop pro- grams for the elderly, working closely with church, civic, health, welfare and recreation agencies to assure coordi- nation of services. “We are trying to meet the needs of older people at the ‘community’ level", said one SCS official. “We want to give them a place to live, something to do, something to do with, someone to do for, and someone to care." Vital information regarding needs and interests of the elderly is obtained from older persons themselves, as well as from representatives of agencies cooperating in the SCS program. Arts and crafts .at SCS. Hobby Show are examined by senior citizens. Counseling and personal services are an integral part of the SCS organi- zation.  SENIOR CITIZEN SERVICES OF METROPOLITAN ATLANTA, INCORPORATED 719 GLENN BUILDING 120 MARIETTA STREET, N.W.
