R-97(CRP) Community Renewal Program Approval of Housing Costs Study The Housing Costs Study for the Atlanta Community Improvement Program has been reviewed and found to be satisfactory. It is recommended that the Model Cities Agency be advised of the following: a.

Text Any textual data included in the document July 8, 1969 Honorable Gregory Griggs Board of Alderman City of Atlanta Post Office Box 9757 Atlanta, Georgia 30319 Dear Mr, Griggs; We regret the confusion which has caused the deferment of EROA's Model Cities plans, There is nothing projected which should be cause for anxiety on anyone's part. As you know, EQOA has large heavily populated target areas within the Model Cities boundaries, and we have been active there with in- sufficient staff resources since 1965. It has also been difficult to adequately serve some parts of the low-income community because of residential patterns. Our plan, the one in question, seeks merely to make staff resources a little more adequate and enable us to become readily ageessible to residents from all the neighborhoods. It is our plan to augment the small operations which already exist on Bass Street and in MeDaniel Homes, and to establish a small extension office, not a full sized neighborhood service center, in the Grant Park and Adair Park neighborhoods. Residents from those communities will be asked to approve the three or four staff members who will work out of these officas. The service program will be our basic three: job placement, social services, and community organization to assist residents to work productively and cooperatively on their own neighborhood problems. Only @ small percentage of the total $140,000 will be spent on the Grant Park extension office and staff, and it has always been our intention to locate the office on the west side of the Park area where there is a concentration of low-income persons we have had difficulty in reaching.  Honorable Gregory Griggs daly &, 1969 Page 2 X hope this perenne ee aes Se ee eee eux plans, oo ive is to offer reedily accessible anit effective services to ali the Model Cities aeighborhoods.

As you know, EOA has large heavily populated target areas within the Model Cities boundaries, and we have been active there with in- sufficient staff resources since 1965. It has also been difficult to adequately serve some parts of the low-income community because of residential patterns. Our plan, the one in question, seeks merely to make staff resources a little more adequate and enable us to become readily aesessible to residents from all the neighborhoods. It is our plan to augment the small operations which already exist on Bass Street and in McDaniel Homes, and to establish a small extension office, not a full sized neighborhood service center, in the Grant Park and Adair Park neighborhoods. Residents from those communities will be asked to approve the three or four staff members who will work out of these offices, The service program will be our basic threes job placement, social services, and community organization to assist residents to work productively and cooperatively on their own neighborhood problems, Only a omall percentage of the total $140,000 will be spent on the Grant Park extension office and staff, and it has always been our intention to locate the office on the west side of the Park area thon hate 40 0 pmebasieien Of Weadeetne panent du bite tak S1ebe culty in reaching.
