The following participants attended the meeting: Mr. Cecil A. Alexander, Chairman, HRC Alderman John M. Flanigen Mr. Robert Veal, represented Mr. Wallace L. Lee Mr. W. W.

Jones, Housing Coordinator Mr. Alexander, Chairman, Housing Resources Committee, presided, He opened the meeting by explaining that at some point in the past the Committee had come to the conclusion that it should not back specific areas on matters of rezoning, but of course would continue to work in support of the overall program; that it appeared the Committee could be more effective this way. Mr. Jones asked Mr. Litchfield to explain the purpose of his presentation. Mr. Litchfield explained that in the past HUD had come up against situations where developers have come into Atlanta and put much work and effort on a project only to be turned down at the last minute by zoning requirements. He said the Committee's endorsement that this land is’ a good site for a Turnkey project is needed so that the paper work can be accomplished and the actual construction can be started as soon as the funds are available; that Turnkey funds are frozen until July 1, 1968 (except for Turnkey 3). Mr. Litchfield stated that he was proposing ‘a Turnkey project consisting of a 16.3 acre tract in Northeast Atlanta off Dekalb Avenue at Hampton Terrace and Southerland Terrace on which to build approximately 200 units. Facilities needed for Public Housing are available. A density of twelve units per acre is contem= plated and feasible because of high land cost. He believes this would be the best way to use this land. He stated that the City of Atlanta Housing Authority has endorsed this site for a Turnkey project and that Mr. Shuttleworth of the Planning Department feels that it would receive favorable recommendation from that Depart- ment. He further stated that Mr. Flanigen, HUD, and NAACP, were in favor of this proposal. Mr. Alexancer said that this was good location geographically for a Turnkey Public Housing project. He mentioned that the Catholic Archdiocese had backed away from this property because of zoning problems. He said he would be glad to see housing constructed in this area. Mr, Flanigen said there is need for housing in this area. Binue Heaven, approximately one mile from the proposed Turnkey site, is one of the worst slum areas in Atlanta. The streets are narrow and the ditches and trash are a hazard to children. Mr. Flanigen said he doesn't look for any serious objection to the rezoning, but there may be some. Mr. Alexander asked what kind of homes were in the area? Mr. Litchfield said there were older homes ranging from $12,000 us $15,000. Mr. Jones stated that if apartments for low and moderate income families are going to be built, Turnkey is the best type financing for a program such as this. Mr, Flanigen said that we should start looking for smaller tracts of land. He said that these small tracts, such as Gilliam's place, should be utilized. Mr. Jones said the Gilliam place could be useful. Perhaps duplexes could be built there although it is now zoned single-family. Mr. Fuller asked if this property was between Rogers and Warren? Mr. Jones said yes and that it has a partial frontgage on Boulevard. Mr, Litchfield said that only Turnkey 3 funds are available until July. He said that Mr. Boggs and Mr. Satterfield might consider Turnkey 3 in order to get started. He mentioned that the City of Knoxville, Tennessee, had used this method of financing for a cooperative high-rise for the elderly. Mr. Alexander pointed out that housing is needed for couples who are not elderly. Mr. Litchfield stated that the Railroad Avenue, Lenox Square site would be an ideal location for housing for couples. Mr. Alexander said he saw no reason why the Committee could not write a letter to HUD endorsing this land site for a low-income housing Turnkey project, that this proposal is definitely in agreement with the program that the Committee is working for. Mr. Litchfield asked if it would be possible to get this area on the zoning agenda without waiting its turn? Wo Mr. Flanigen said it might be possible; however, February 1 was closing date for some areas. Mr. Jones said we have a workins agreement with Mr. Gladins that if we feel something is justified he will try and work it in. Mr. Litchfield said this site is shown on 1983 Land Use Map as apartment zoning. Mr. Alexender said he was delightec =o have both Real “state Boards represented and asked for comments. Kr. Baldwin said he felt certain that this project would have the support of his Board. Mr. Fuller expressed concern over units deteriorating to substandard conditions so rapidly. He feels that more emphasis should be placed on keeping up properties. Mr. Alexander said approximately 10,000 homes have been rehabilitate through Housing Code enforcement during the last year. Mr. Alexander stated that the Social Problems Panel should be more active in forming civic groups to work with churches and schools to get people to keep up their property. He said that Garden Clubs and other civic grouos can do a great deal of good, a bs veo Mr. Jones stated that there were 10,157 homes rehabilitated through Housing Code enforcement from November 1966 thru December 1967. Mer. Fuller mentioned the difficulties of having cars moved off public streets and the problem of junk cars on properties in the City of Atlanta. He asked if there was any law against parking an automobile in the middle of the yard on the front lawn? Mr. Jones said there was not. He stated that an inoperative automobile cannot be parked on property for more than 60 days. Mr. Baldwin said he would estimate that there are 250 junk automobiles on property in Atlanta at present time, Mr. Alexander said maybe the Automobile Industry could do something about the junk car situation. He mentioned the big Oil Companies concern over design of stations. A survey indicated that the euarcke such as streamers hanging all over did not help business at all. Mr. Baldwin asked if there were any laws regulating physical conditions of - ye Se commercial places? Jones said there was no regulation in Atlanta. Mr. Litchfield said that a group or person could gather up 200 credit car ras and send them in to a large oil company such as Standard along with complaint ~ about poor conditions of a station and ssumadi wey the station in question would. be fixed up and cleaned up and credit cards returned to ownerss, _ , lie. Alexander said EOA is supsu.cd us be organizing groups to work to keep up and improve neighborhoods. He mentioned the fact that Druid Hills Garden Club had helped the Poole Creek area get landscaped. Mr. Flanigen told about the Civic Club cleaning up the Martha Street Aaroie Mr. Alexander told about the 221 (h) program whereby church groups could buy properties (up to 8 units) and rehabilitate them. Then they could sell them back to original owners or someone else, Mr. Flanigen asked whether Mr. Maddox got his Wesley Apartments approved? oS Mr. Jones said 150 units (later amended to 119) were approved under lease agreement to be rehabilitate. : Meeting adjourned at 11:50 a.m. Respectfully submitted, 2» ‘ P a “eh elt wy oe 23 ri Malcolm D.

Text Any textual data included in the document March 25, 1968 MEMORAN DOM fo: Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. Mr. Cecil A. Alexander, Chairman Housing Resources Committee Mr. Charles A. Mueller of Charles A. Mueller Companies, Jonesboro, came in to see me last week relative to utilization of houses for the City's Low-income Housing Program which are being condemned and sold in connection with expansion of the Atlanta Airport. Mr. Mueller has proposed that these houses be bided in, as currently being done, moved into the City of Atlanta, placed on new foundations on either existing single family lots or in small Subdivisions on appropriately zoned and priced raw land, completely rehabilitated and then sold under FHA 20-year insured mortgages, on which FHA is apparently willing to cooperate. These houses could thus provide home ownership for medium income families, or better homes than can be built today for higher costs. There are apparently several hundred of these houses available or to become available soon, consisting mostly of houses in the $10 - 18 thousand class having 2-3 bedrooms with 800-1000 square feet of liveable floor area. A number of these houses are reported to have recently been moved to Griffin, reerected and financed through FHA insured mortgazes in a manner similar to this proposal, PHA makes three inspections of each house 1.e. (1) Appraisal inspection of the house before removal amd inspection of the lot on which it is to go; (2) Yootings and foundations on which the house is to be erectod; and (3) Final inspection after complete rehabilitation. Mr, Mueller's rough estimate of approximate top cost involved runs something like this: Initial Cost $ 1,500 Moving Cost 500 Lot (mproved) 2,000 Foundation and Rehabilitation 3,000 FHA fees, tape and closing costs 560 Builder's overhead and profit Hts Total Selling Price $9, Page 2 March 25, 1968 Memorandum to: Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. Mre Cecil A. Alexander My. Mueller advises that he is able, willing and ready to inter into this operation either on his own or preferably in connection with the City of Atlanta or a non-profit corporation, to purchase the houses, procure the sites and advance the interim construction money, if the City is interested Aa eee gan obtain in advance the City's blessing on this general idea and assurance o e City's cooperation on the undertaking. This proposal seems to have considerable merit and its execution appears feasible. Any positive advantage to be derived from this proposal will Tone quick action as many of the houses are being sold now. Recommendations: (1) That this office be authorized to encourage Mr. Mueller to pursue this proposal promptly and vigorously. (2) That the Land Department and the Building Department be requested to cooperate with Mr. Mueller on this project. (3) That the newly created Non-profit Housing Development Corporation be requested to take this on in cooperation with Mr. Mueller, es its initial project, ee ee ee ae existing vacant single family lots, many of which now exist in the core area of the City and on appropriately located and suitably soned Sincerely, _ Maleolm D, Jones Housing Coordinator cot Mr. Dan Ee Sweat, dre  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Zarl Landers Administrative Assistant Fromt Malcolm D. Jones Housing Coordinator Recommend that my Secretary's position be reclassified from Stenographer Clerk, Selary Range 35 ($355 = 438 per month) to Senior Stenographer, Salary Range 36 ($03 = 497 per month). Justification for this request is contained in the attached job description. The need for this change is intensified at this time because my present Secretary, Mrs. Ruby Countryman, has recently taken the test for Senior Stenographer, passed it, has been placed on Personnel's eligible list for a position in that classifica- tion and is looking for such position, for the increase in pay which she needs. Furthermore, Mrs. Countryman is the third and by far the most capable and experienced Secretary I have had in this office (within a period of less than 10 months), The other two were both just out of High School with no previous experience. Although they could type reasonably well, neither was really capable of taking dictation and the last one simply could not begin to take and transcribe minutes of normal Housing Resources Committee meetings. Because of the delicate nature and high level of the work in this office, an adequately qualified experienced Secretary ia highly desirable. From the record to date, it is apparent that in order to obtain and keep a competent and experienced Secretary in this office, an increase in classification of the position will be necessary. The minimum requirements of one year's experience ed a Senior Stenographer, would ingure a qualified pergon in this office for the ture. Mrs. Countryman is within the top three on Personnel's eligible list for Senior Stenographer and is being referred by Personnel for interviews for that classification.

HOUSING RESOUR CES COMMITTEE February 7, 1968 An Analysi e of Atlanta ' s Low-income Hous ine Program and Proposed Procedures for Its Improvement Although the most recent report (copy attached) of the Housing Resources Committee on t he status of the Low-income Housing Program shows good progress t o dat e , the cream has already been skimmed· from the initial potential and prospects f or the future of the program look extremely dim. This analysis is lengthy but is justified by the gravity of the current s ituation and the necessity for adequately explaining each of the features proposed herein. There is no need to dwell here on the major problem areas involved such as neighborhood objections, zoning, Federal policy, funding, etc., as we all are quite familiar with them. The resulting effect however is very disturbing. Substantial land promoters, developers, and builders on _whom we must rely for actual developments are losing interest in the proeram and are directing their major efforts elsewhere. and in other fields not involved with the difficulties encountered locally in attempted production of low-income housing. Without their continued active participation it will be extremely difficult to meet the alre ady established goals for the program (and it 'now appears that even t hese goals may not be adequate ). Our policy to date has been to follow prevailing established procedures by depending on the land promoters and developers to select the sites, take options on the land, attempt to get it rezoned if require~ and then develop the site. This procedure places t he entire initiative on private enterprise and l eaves in their hands primary responsibility for overcoming neighborhood objections and pol itical resistan ce. work. This is good, if it works, but f r equently i t does not This also habitually places the City in a vulnerable defensive and embar- rassing position, if the efforts of ·private enterprise do 'not succeed, and discourases other developers. if This is happenin~ entirely too of ten for continuation of a healthy progressive program which is sorely needed in Atlanta. �2 Instance after instance can be cited where the above has occurred. Some of the more prominent specific cases which have suffered or failed under this policy are: Browntown, Butler Street YMCA, Sewell Road, Browns Mill Road, Empire Drive., Golfview, Wilson Mill Road, East Lake #2 and Wellswood Apartments sites. (The last one was considered under the leasing progTam.) In fact, most of the 8,266 units proposed, which did not materialize (see Note A of Low-income Housing Invento:::-y Report of January 15) can be attribu:ted to strong objections from one or more groups under our current private enterprise sponsored, hit or miss, development procedure. The availability of land, one of the critical elements, which can be obtained at prices developers can afford to pay and still make a profit from their venture, is rapidly becoming a vital issue within the City limits of Atlanta. This factor a],one is primarily responsible for the lack of current development in single family sales housing for •low and moderate income families, although there is a great demand and substantial market for this category of housing in Atlanta. The rapid growth of the City and phenomenal rate of new construction is fast limiting the desirable sites on which low-income housing can be located in Atlanta, from both an economic and public relations standpoint. It is evident that in the past the procedure of letting nature take its course by depending entirely on private enterprise to initiate propos ed locations for lowincome housing and then carry the ball on obtaining the necessary approvals and zoning changes, is not adequate to insure success of the Low-income Housing Program • .. This is particularly true of Turnkey sites for Public Housing. A few specific examples clearly illustrate this: (a) Attempted rezoning of the Browntown site for 450 units under the Turnkey program has been delayed until July 1, 1968 for further consideration at that time as to positive provisions for the timely construction of essential community facilities, one of which is an Elementary School to be built on the project to serve i t and another anticipated low-income housing proj eC} in the same general area . In anticipation of the rezoning it was understood that the School Department would place this school in top priority on its proposed bond issue for the Spring of 1968. However, since the r ezoning last fall did not go throueh when expected and has been definitely delayed until at least July 1968, the School Department has now changed its priorities so as to accommodate those projects which are already' definitely approved, under cons truction or where plans for early �3 development are actually pro6Tessine satisfactorily. Department's position is justified and understandable. This chanee in the School However, as far as this' particular school is concerned, it does not bring the Browntown site any nearer to fruition. It is also likely that plans for improved sewer facilities for this area will not have a~ high priority as would have been the case, if the proposed zoning had already been approved. (b) A similar situation also applies to the Butler Street YMCA site on Hollywood Road in the same general area and which is equally dependent on the proposed Elementary School discussed above and improved sewer faciliti es. (c) The Sewell Road project is a typical example of an excellently planned and designed Turnkey project for Public Housing which was well located and adequately isolated and screened, but which went "by the board" as a result of pressure of public opinion from the neighborhood. (d) Another instance is the requested rezoning for a proposed 221 d (3) project on an excellent site on Wilson Mill Road,. immediately across from a developed City park, and where other adequate community fac~lities exist. It received an adverse recommendation from the Planning Board, supported by a recommendation of the Planning staff, because of anticipated objection from residents of the neighborhood. (e) One well known out of town developer, highly recommended by FHA, after having to give up three proposed developments in DeKalb County because of DeKalb's lapse of its Workable Program, subsequently filed applications with FHA for three substantial projects -in Atlanta under the 221 d (3) program. applications were later withdrawn. All three It is understood that two were withdrawn because of neighborhood resentment, which he experienced early, and anticipated rezoning difficulties. The third proposed project, for which the site was already zo~ed appropriately, was given up primarily because of high land costs and partially _because of anti cipated neighborhood resentment, plus economic problems encountered in trying to design and develop a creditable proj e ct which would overcome the other difficulties. The foregoing are typical illustrations why previous us ed and long established procedure is not working adequately for the Low-income Housing Program. The success of this program is as important to the future well being of Atlanta as the School, Sewer, Traffic, or Parks programs and should be approached with the same considerate deliberation and coordinated planning as has been found necess ary and which is currently being pursued in other City programs. �4 After careful consideration of the foregoing factors and based on experience with low- income housinp, i n Atlanta f or s everal years, i t appear3 that some new pr ocedures are practical and would be helpful. However, dilligent effort will continue t o be made under the current procedure, until it is changed. Recommend that the followinc additional procedures be adopted as soon as pos sible: 1. Written recommendation from the Mayor to the local Director of F1iA that t he maximum limits for FHA mortgage insurance under the 221 d (2) program in the Atlanta area be increased from the current $12,500 to $15,000; to compensate for .increased cost of land and construction since the present ceiling was established several years ago. (This should provide additional flexibility and incentive to builders to construct and market single family sales housing in Atlanta under the 221 d (2) program. Acti vi t:r in this field has been quite dormant since the Low-income Housine Program started. It is one of the most needed categories, for which there is a strong demand and adequate market. Home o,mership should be encouraged when- ever possible, as it is one of the most stabilizing factors for low and moderate income families). 2. To supplement the above, adopt an additional Single Family Dwelling Zoning District in Atlanta, to permit erection of dwellings havine a minimum of 720 square feet floor area, on minimum size lots of S,000 square feet and with minimum f rontgage of so•. Similar proposals have been previously made to the Administrative Assistant and to the Director of Planningw (This would permit an increase of 50%in house f or which the currently applicable R-5 current density of the 221 vari ety zoning district requires ·7, 500 square feet of lot area, 810 square feet minimum floor area and a minimum frontgage of 60 1 • This additional zoning• district would provide ample land area for houses in this category and i n the price range of the 221 d (2) program). J. Request HUD to modify its current FHA policy by per mitting mort gage i nsurance under its FHA 221 insured mortga ge proerarn in areas which do not now have certi fied Workable Programs, when Sl.lch developments will serve to alleviate unsatisfactory and overcrowded housing condi t i ons in areas such a s Atlant a which do have certi fied Workable Programs in ef fect. (Although t he purpose of the current restrictive Federal policy in those areas was well intenti oned and expected to s erve as an _.incentive to t hose areas t o es t ablish �5 Workable Programs, the actual r esul ts have boomer anged by excluding cons truction under this type financi ng fr om nei ghbor ing areas (which inci dentally are apparently desirous of having it excluded) and thereby placing incr eased low-income housing burdens on comrrrunities , such as Atlanta, which do have Workable ProGrams). 4. Modi fy the current Zonin g Ordinance to permit structural changes in non-conforming residential dwellings in other zoning districts, when ne ce::,sary in order to meet requi r ements of the Housing Code. 'lj·, (This is no't permi tted now and serves to perpetuate unsatis f actory and substandard hous ing conditions in many areas of the City, which :i.n the past have been premat urely zoned for uses other than residential and which will probably continue to be so used f or the foreseeable future. In many of these areas improvement i s stagnating because of the f act that existing residential buildings cannot be s tructurally altered and if demolished another can not be built in its place , plus the past difficul y of obtaining financing in these areas for housing improvements, due partially to the zoning restrictions, and of the problem of private enterprise in assembling tracts in thes~ areas of sufficient size and price to justify substantial development). 5. As a companion measure to the above, eliminate from the Housing Code Enforcement Map and Policy and Procedur e Guide all so called 11 Clearance - Code Enforcement 11 Area classification and place all of these areas in top priority for strict Housing Code Enf'orcement on a house-by-house basis, except where formal application has been submitted for a Federal assisted project for th e area or other planned development is eminent.( Although some modification was made during 1967 in Housing Code Enforcement policy, t he current policy in these areas of which there are many in the City, for pract ical purposes is still essentially one of containment, in that Code .Enforcement in t hese areas consists of: (a) Pl a card where warranted and seek demolition (b) Cor r ect hazzards (c) Reduce overcrowding (d ) Vacate unfit units (e) Clean up premises . Under existing policy, there is _no specif ic requir ement or priori ty i n t hese areas , which contai n much of the wors t housing i n t he City, for bri neing all dwelling units into strict compliance with the Housine Code .) �6 (Furthermore, the theory of clearing such areas throueh Housing Code Enforcement is a fallacy and is a long drawn out, impracticable as well as unprofitable procedure, in that the Housing Code is not, and never was intended to be, a punitive or clearance weapon, but rather a tool to encourage, improvement and with which to maintain good standard housing conditions throughout the entire City. . The so called \ "Clearance-Code Enforcement" areas are extremely difficult to operate in and have been generally neglected in interest of obtaining more compliances in less difficult areas where violations are less serious and compliance is much easier to obtain. Early improvement of substandard conditions in existing housing in these worst areas would materially relieve the long range burden on the Housing Resources Committee of providing adequate new standard units for many low-income families, for which the existing housing in many instances in these areas could be made adequate.) (The financial burden or even hardship, on the owners ' of these properties for bringing them in ' to compliance with the Hou~ing Code would be no greater than it is now and has been in other areas of the City, where the Code is being strictly enforced on a house-by-house basis.) 6. Modify existing local building codes to permit erection of prefab residential construction, to incluae preassembled plumbing, electrical, and heat facilities, when it has been-determined that the materials and workmanship are satisfactory and can be inspected during assembly at the factory. (The application of assembly line procedures and techniques to mass production of low-income housing is as essential today as the assembly line procedure has been - to the automobile, major elect.;rical appliances, prefabricated kitchen cabinets and other similar products, if we are going to meet the current day.' s needs in low-income housing.) 7. Encourage prompt formation of a Non-profit Housing Development Corporation, I having a city-wide scope of operation, to assist development of low-income housing. Such a corporation could provide much needed seed money on a loan basis to local neighborhood non-profi t sponsors; bank land f or future low-income housing projects; and lend technical and other assistance in promotion of low-income housing developments. (The formation of such a corporation ·i s well under way through the efforts of the Finance and Non-profit Funds Panel of the Housins Resources Committee . Thia corporation ia much needed in Atlanta now. A revolvins fund in the nei ghborhood �7 of 1-1½ million dollars could probably be procured through loans of perhaps ten year durat ion from Private Enterpris e at low interest rates, with principal re-' payable as available. This money would serve to finance activities of the Corporation on a r evolvi ng basis, in a manner similar to procedure which is being success.fully used in Hartford, Connecticut and several other cities.) 8. And almost l ast but not least, recorrrrnend that suitable sites be carefully selected j ointly by the Housing Resources Committee and the Planning Department, in all f our geographical quadrants of the City (not necessarily· equal dist ribution) sufficient in number and size to bring the current Low-income Housing Program up to 20,000 units; that each of these sites be earmarked for Public Housing under t he Turnkey or conventional program, housing under the FHA 221 insured mortgage program or conventionally financed similar priced construction; and that special effort be made to rezone these sites simultaneously in one package; with the help of wide-spread, well placed and care.fully selected public support and on the conditi on that low-income housing will eventually be constructed on these sites when adequate community facilities will be available. The plan should include several areas f or a reasonable number of single family sales houses. ( It is believed t hat this approach can be successful, if careful a t t ention is given to selecting sites which will serve the intended purpose, but which are most l i kely to be the least controversial (omitting those which are obviously likely to arouse strong community resentment). This procedure has recent ly been r esorted to in New Orleans f or Public Housing , after s i te s electi on by private enterprise f ailed. This would spread the locations- and not concentrate the bulk of such housing on two or three sites which are likely to be particularly controversial, and on which it would not be wise to concentrate l arge numbers of low-income f amilies , even {f appropriate zoning could be obtained.) (There are suff ic1ent sites in the former category. Many of these sites , if appropriat ely developed, would excell ently serve the needs of low-income .famil ies and at the same time would 'materially improve the areas involved. In sever al instances t hese are areas in which l ow-income famil~es already r eside and will probably continue t o do so for a l ong time , but i n which current densities can be increased and the environment improved .) (Still, other areas to be consi dered should be those located where nice well planned low-income housing devel opments would improve the area, shoul d pr omote a mininrum of cri ticism from the res idents of the communit y and l ocat ions that are not l ikely to be developed in the near future for bet ter or higher use . �8 In some instances however , this will require modification of current policies and thinking of some planners as to zoning classifications for such locations, by permitting a mixture of uses in the general areas involved rather than continuation of all single family Residential or all Industrial or Cornmerciai as the case may be.) 9. When the proposed reZPning of suggested sites is accomplished, then concentrate on coordination of all Departments and Agencies involved in planning for the proposed developments to provide necessary Community facilities ~imultaneously with scheduled development of the low-income housing. This is possible and offers the best opportunity for getting what is needed in the nature of Community Facilities at the time it is needed to serve the proposed developments. Two good examples of where such coordination efforts have recently worked successfully are: (a) The arrangements made for extension of Cleveland Avenue to serve the proposed Golfview development project; and (b) The compromise recently worked out satisfactorily between the developers and the Water Pollution Control Division for sewer service at an extremely early date for the proposed Bankhead Highway Turnkey project. 10. In order to speed up development on land in Urban Renewal projects sold to developers, recommend that the period allowed between award on bids and beginning of actual construction be reduced from the current permissive time of one year. · It appears that 6-9 months should be ample. (Examples of disturbing delay are the Ebenezer Baptist Church project and, to a somewhat lesser degree, the Rockdale project; whereas planning for the Friendship Baptist Church pr0ject is much further along, which illustrates that others could do likewise.) All of the above explained procedures are believed to be feasible and if adopted should insure completion of the established goals in the Low-income Housing Program within the time alloted and with a minimum of difficulty and disagreement between I those involved in accomplishing the Program.

Such a corporation could provide much needed seed money on a loan basis to local neighborhood non-profit sponsors; bank land for future low-income housing projects; and lend technical and other assistance in promotion of low-income housing developments. | (The formation of such a corporation is well under way through the efforts of the Finance and Non-profit Funds Panel of the Housing Resources Committee. This corporation is much needed in Atlanta now. A revolving fund in the neighborhood  of 1-15 million dollars could probably be procured through loans of perhaps ten year duration from Private Enterprise at low interest rates, with principal re- payable as available. This money would serve to finance activities of the Corporation on a revolving basis, in a manner similar to procedure which is being successfully used in Hartford, Connecticut and several other cities.) 8. And almost last but not least, recommend that suitable sites be carefully selected jointly by the Housing Resources Committee and the Planning Department, in all four geographical quadrants of the City (not necessarily: equal distribution) sufficient in number and size to bring the current Low-income Housing Program up to 20,000 units; that each of these sites be earmarked for Public Housing under the Turnkey or conventional program, housing under the FHA 221 insured mortgage program or conventionally financed similar priced construction; and that special effort be made to rezone these sites simultaneously in one packaze; with the help of wide-spread, wéll placed and carefully selected public support and on the condition that low-income housing will eventually be constructed on these sites when adequate community facilities will be available. The plan should include several areas for a reasonable number of single family sales houses. (It is believed that this approach can be successful, if careful attention is given to selecting sites which will serve the intended purpose, but which are most likely to be the least controversial (omitting those which are obviously Likely to arouse strong community resentment). This procedure has recently been resorted to in New Orleans for Public Housing, after site selection by private enterprise failed. This would spread the locations and not concentrate the bulk of such housing on two or three sites which are likely to be particularly controversial, and on which it would not be wise to concentrate large numbers of low-income families, even if appropriate zoning could be obtained.) (There are sufficient sites in the former category. Many of these sites, if appropriately developed, would excellently serve the needs of low-income families and at the same time would’ materially improve the areas involved. In several instances these are areas in which low-income families already reside and will probably continue to do so for a long time, but in which current densities can be increased and the environment improved.) (Still, other areas to be considered should be those located where nice well planned low-income jidusing developments would improve the area, should promote a minimum of criticism from the residents of the community and locations that are not likely to be developed in the near future for better or higher use.  & In some instances however, this will require modification of current policies and thinking of some planners as to zoning classifications for such locations, by permitting a mixture of uses in the general areas involved rather than continuation of all single family Residential or all Industrial or Commercial as the case may be.) 9. When the proposed rezoning of suggested sites is accomplished, then concentrate on coordination of all Departments and Agencies involved in planning for the propesed developments to provide necessary Community facilities simultaneously with scheduled development of the low-income housing. This is possible and offers the best opportunity for getting what is needed in the nature of Community Facilities at the time it is needed to serve the proposed developments. Two good examples of where such coordination efforts have recently worked successfully are: (a) The arrangements made for extension of Cleveland Avenue to serve the proposed Golfview development project; and (b) The cousmontise recently worked out satisfactorily between the developers and the Water Pollution Control Division for sewer service at an extremely early date for the proposed Bankhead Highway Turnkey project. 10. In order to speed up development on land in Urban Renewal projects sold to developers, recommend that the period allowed between award on bids and beginning of actual construction be reduced from the current permissive time of one year. It appears that 6-9 months should be ample. (Examples of disturbing delay are the Ebenezer Baptist Church project and, to a somewhat lesser degree, the Rockdale project; whereas planning for the Friendship Baptist Church project is much further along, which illustrates that others could do likewise.) All of the above explained procedures are believed to be feasible and if adopted should insure completion of the established goals in the Low-income Housing Program within the time alloted and with a minimum of difficulty and disagreement between those involved in accomplishing the Program.

George Le Aldridge, Director Community Improvement Program Division Department Planning City of Atlanta Dear George: Recently Dan Sweat has suggested that I get in touch with you relative to reanalyzing the City's low-income housing goals of 16,800 units by end of 1971 (with 9,600 units by end of 1968), in light of recent developments with respect to the Bedford-Pine Urban Renewal Project and the Model Cities areas In ag moch as future development in both of those areas will be under direct control of the Housing Authority and the City on a pre-established time schedule, I have discussed this matter with Cecil Alexander who agrees with the fore- going premise, but feels that since the initiel goals were based on determinations of the CIP, that any revision or modifications of those figures should more properly be determined by your office, than by thie Committee. Request that your staff consider this matter and prepare as soon as practicable Model Cities area and the remainder of the City. I will be glad to work with time on such revision of the existing figures as may be appropriate, Sincerely s Malcolm D. Jones Housing Coordinator co: Vir. Dan EB. Sweat, Jre Mr. Coell A.
