Px'ivate i ndustry has been cha l lenged to provide six mil l ion addi ti ona l housing units during the next ten years for low and modera te i ncome f ami lies. The 196 8 legislation provides the t oo ls and incentives and success ·in meeting the national o bj ect ive will large l y de pend on: l. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Sponsor interest . Av 2ilability of land at a reasona b le price. The mortgage money mar ket . Municipal coo peration Fundi nE by the Congress in 1968 . Bui lding coda and zoning restrict i ons. Sec ti on 238: The 1968 Rousing Act established a new Special Ri s k Ins ura nce Fund wh ich permits the Federa l Housing Administrati on t o assume higher mortgage insurance ris ks in connection with b o th location and credit cha r acteristics that were unacce p ta bl e under the mut u al mortgage sec ti ons of the Act. This should widen b ot h the housing and the mortgage sect i o ns . o f the Act. This shou ld wide n b oth the housing and the mort ga ge mark et. Secti on 237 : Provides, on an experimental basis, FHA mortgage i nsuranc e to f inance homeownership f o r certain lower income families who cannot q u a lify under normal standards because of their pas t credit records , but who can me e t mortgage payments with appr o priate budget and financi al counseling . ,, Section 23 6 : Under this rental housing p rogram the tenant o r c ooperator will pay at least 25 pe r centum o f his family income towards the market rent or the ba sic rent , whichever is greater .

NUD pays the mortgagee the difference between the amount collect ed from the occ upa nt and a fair market monthly rental determined on the basis of operating the p roj0ct with pa yraents o f pri nci pal , interest and mortgage insurance premium required on a level annuity mortgage at the market interest rate. There will be no subsidy f or the modera te income tenants . Maximum mortgage amounts 100% of FHA cost to nonprofit and 90% for p ro fit motivated sponsors. 40 year term. Limited to families whose incomes are not in excess of 135% of initial admission levels of public housing. �6 The above i s on l y a part ial outl i ne o f Section 236 . The regulations cover a wide segment o f r e ntal housing financing and the mortgage insurance terms are liberial. The Act authoriz ed $ 7 5 , 000 , 000 to July l , 1969 , but o nly $25 , 000 , 000 has bee n funded . These funds will likely be all oc ated very rapidly t o pr o p os ed re nta l and c ooperative p ro jects.

The 5 year goal of 15,800 low and medium income housing units announced by the Mayor in his Housing Conference establishing the HRC on November 15, 1966, is now in the pipe line, This figure was based on anticipated replacement needs caused by Governmental action during 1967~71, and did not take into consideration normal growth, formation of new families and in-migration. The Nevember 15 revision of the report on status of the low and medium income housing program shows: Convleted 3,217 units Under Censtruction 6,278 units In Planning 7,327 units In Sight 10,832 units Total This slightly exceeds (by 32 units) the 5 year goal of 16,800 units and is only 305 units short, in the first two categories, of the anticipated need for 9,800 units during the first two years of the progran, a It is anticipated that most of the 7,337 units in Planning will materialize. However, in the event that some may fall by the way side, there are an additional 6,215 units Being Considered, which will more than compensate for any units now in the In Planning category which may be lost to the program. The Summary (Encl. 2) shows that the goals for all phases of the 5 year program are being met, with the exception of Public Housing which is currentiy 4,100 units behind. The Committee has consistentiy endeavored to overcome and minimize neighborhood chjections to low-income housing, which has been the greatest problem in petting approval on site selections. The Committee has solicited and obtained the support of the Chamber of Commerce in secking the cooperation of County Commissioners (particularly Fulton) for establishing low income housing projects in unincorporated areas cf adjoining Counties, where occupants may reside in close proximity to sources of industriai employment, Among other accomplishments, the Housing Resources Committee: Has worked closely with developers, builders, City Departments and Community groups in promotion of low and medium income housing and in coordination of efforts in this field. Has been instrumental in establishing the Greater Atlanta Housing Development Corporation to assist local non-profit housing corporations, thus providing seed money and other assistance (including perhaps the banking cf land for subsequent use at no profit for low income housing developments). Was a pioneer in proposing and getting approval at both the local and national level for use of prefabricated relocat- able units as temporary relccation housing, Was influential in promotion, at the Washington ievel, oi expanding the base for Federal Grants and direct Loans, now authorized in the 1863 Housing Act, for assisting home owners in rehabilitation of their dwellings to meet requirements of the Housing Code, Has urged early adoption by the City of miniature Urban Renewal projects, thrcugh the Neighborhood Development Program, in blighted residential pockets, to rid the City of its worst Sium areas. das urged revision of some previcus conventional planning concepts in an effort to get certain areas rezoned to permit a more practical approach to improvement of such areas for residential use, 3 Urged the dispersal of future Public Housing in relatively small developments on scattered sites, Has been instrumental in creation of interest in the low ancome housing program by non-profit organizations and the formation of several such organizations to participate in the low-income housng program. Was the catalyst in getting neighborhood interest revived for improvement cf Vine City through Urban Renewal. Prot.2ed and obtained concurrence of the Board of Education for drafting iegislation for consideration by the General Assembly in its next session to authorize developers to build schools simultaneous with development of housing projects, except in Urban Renewal areas, for lease to the School Board until it is in position to purchase the facilities. Was active participant in Atlanta Conference on Equal Opportunity in Housing. Has worked with the Model Cities' staff in development of its housing rehabilitation program and site selection for experimental housing. Has pointed out to City officials the necessity for, and urged recognition of, the principle that site selection for low-income housing should include a planning function and responsibility, similar to location of schools, water purification plants, sewerage disposal systems and other public works; that it should not be left entirely up to land promoters and developers to sclect sites and bear the burden of trying to get them suitably zoned and approved. After promoting and receiving support of thirty prominent Business, Civic and Religious organizations and individuals, the ARC held a speciai meeting on suguct 29 “1988, with tho Flanni7s and Development Committee and the Zoning Committee of the Board of Aidermen in which the following specific requests were made: i. Asked the Mayor to appoint either an existing committee or a new committee of the Board of Aldermen to assume a responsibility in the ficid of low-income housine. 2. Revision of the Building Codes for the City of Atlanta, particularly to allow experimental housing to be built in the Model Cities area. 3. Revision of the Ordinance governing non- conforming use of land to allow structural changes in improving dwelling units to meet requirements of the Housing Cede, 4, &eceelerate the urban renewal program particularly in the Nash-Bans, Vine City and other areas outside the Model Cities area. 5. Authorize the Atlmta Housing Authority to request 2,000 additional units of public housing, Gy - Adoption of a revised district zoning map based on the new Land Use map, to include adequate areas for low-income housing, Result o a. A resoiution was adosted on September 16, 1968, charging the Planning and Development Committee of the Board of Aldermen izth responsility for assisting the Housing Resources Committec in meeting requirements of the Loweincome Housing Program. b. Vine City and East Atlanta have been included in the Neighborhood Development Program for planning in 1969, ce. The Board of Aldermen authorized on September is, request by the Housing Authority to the Federal Government for an allocation of an additional 2,000 units of Public Housing; and the request has been submitted to Housing Assistance Agency of HUD ° qd. Although specific action on the other three items has thus far been inconclusive, the need for these clements has been recognized and emphasized and indirect favorable effects have been encouraging, Throughout the program the HRC has endeavored to work for close contact and understanding with the Federal Agencies, local groups and City Departments in promotion of the Low-income Housing Program and received from them a remarkable degree of cooperation and assistance, which is very much appreciated, On December 9, 1968, award was made by the Housing Authority to National Homes Corp, of LaFayetta, Indiana, for development of the 296 acre Federal surplus land site, as part of the Thomasville Urban Renewal project, This award was based on a design competition among &S prominent developers and will include GOO units of low and medium income housing, 2 schools, parks, commercial develop= ment to serve the immediate neighborhood and other facilities. IMPLICATIONS OF THE 1968 HOUSING ACT The National Housing Act passed by the Congress on August 1, 1968, reaffirms the national goal in the 1949 Housing Act, of "a decent home and a suitable living environment for every American family". Private industry has been challenged to provide six million additional housing units during the next ten years for low and moderate income families. The 1968 legislation provides the tocis and incentives and success ‘in meeting the national objective will largely depend on: Sponsor interest. Availability of land at a reasonable price. The mortgage money market, Municipal cooperation Funding by the Congress in 1969, Building code and zoning restrictions. O) cr pm 8) DD Section 238: The 1968 Housing Act established a new Special Risk Insurance Fund which permits the Federal Housing Administration to assume higher mortgage insurance risks in connection with beth location and credit characteristics that were unacceptable under the mutual mortgage sections cf the Act. This should widen both the housing and the mortgage sections. of the Act. This should widen both the housing and the mortgage market, Section 237: Provides, on an experimental basis, FHA mortgage insurance to finance homeownership for certain lower income families who cannot qualify under normal standards because of their past credit records, but who can meet mortgage payments with appropriate budget and financial counseling. section 236: Under this rental housing program the tenant or cooperator will pay at least 25 per centum of his family income towards the market rent or the basic rent, whichever is greater. The basic rental is determined on the basis of operating the project with payments to principal and interest on a level annuity plan at 1 percent interest. HUD pays the mortgagee the difference between the amount collected from the occupant and a fair market monthly rental determined on the basis of operating the project with payments of principal, interest and mortgage insurance premium required on a level annuity mortgage at the market interest rate. There will be no subsidy for the moderate income tenants. Maximum mortgage amounts - 190% of FHA cost to nonprofit and 20% for profit motivated sponsors. 40 year term. Limited to families whose incomes are not in excess of 135% of initial admission levels of public housing. 6 The above is only a partial outline of Section 23¢. The regulations cover a wide segment of rental housing financing and the mortgage insurance terms are liberial. The Act authorized $75,000,006 to July 1, 1969, but only $25,909,009 has been funded. These funds will likely be allocated very rapidly to proposed rental and cooperative projects. There is no requirement for a Workable Frogran, section 235: Thissection places heavy emphasis on home ownership and vrovides that if the purchaser of a new home or a living units n a condomimium will pay at least 20% of the family's income, HUD will pay the balance of the monthly mortgage payments, A two family dwelling may also be purchased, if owner occupies omunit. Mortgages are limited to $15,900 and $17,900 for large families. Family income limited to 135% of public housing entrance levels. 30 year mortgage term, No Workable Program is required. Subsides vary with the income of the purchaser and the cash investment in the housing unit will range from a minimum of $209 to 3% cf FHA's estimate of ccst. Section 235 of the Housing Act is very comprehensive and the present funding of $25,000,000 will be used up rapidly. Comments: All of the legislation mentioned above applies to both proposed construction and major rehabilitation and provides wide opportunity for nonprofit organizations to operate in a number of ficlds. It is also attractive to profit motivated firms, [It permits the issuance of mortgage insurance in urban, suburban, core and rural areas and better distribution of low income housing in all areas where the need can be established under the new dct. It gives the sponsor a choice of construction or rehabilitat- ing single family homes, town houses, apartments, condomimiums and cooperatives. It provides for accumulation of equity by the buyer through credit for his own labor. It also provides employment and contract opportunities for lower income families and business concerns in the construction area to the extent feasible, Occupant training will be provided where needed in financing and other ficids, There are many changes and additions to the Housing Act that have not been covered in the brief outline above. Other sections apply to Urban Renewal, Public Housing, Housing for the Elderly, Nursing Homes, Nonprofit Hospitals, Flood Insurance, Financing, etc. THE IMPACT OF THIS BILL ON HOUSING SHOULD BE TREMENDOUS. THE TOOLS ARE AVAILABLE AS NEVER BEFORE. the for and and for FUTURE DIRECTION As Chairman of the Housing Resources Committee, I make following recommendations for the future course of action the housing program in Atlanta. We request that the Mayor Board of Aldermen give consideration to these proposals advise us accordingly, in a revised statement of mission the Committee: 1. a 12. ALL bodies concerned with housing reviaw the present and continuing needs for low income housing. Eliminate existing siums and provide housing as needed in the area for those who wish tc remain there, Place housing near jobs and public facilities in the City of Atlanta and throughout the metropolitan area, Continue efforts to promote innovative low-income housing construction in Atlanta. Continue to aid efforts to eliminate social problems connected with housing. Further involve the business community in the housing program. fissist nonprofit groups and developers in their efforts to obtain land and construct housing. Promote and expalin the new general housing act and the fair housing act. Consider national and local legislation useful to the housing program. Assist in the stabLissatioa of existing neighborhoods and encourage the construction of middle and upper income residential developments in the City of ftlanta. Attempt to involve persons in the slums in the business side of demolition, rehabilitation or erecting new units, Continue efforts to sell the need for low income housing to the people of metropolitan Atlanta. Oo vu It is also suggested that consideration be given to placing the functions of the Housing Resources Committee with the Citizens Advisory Committee for Urban Renewal or as a part of an activated Urban Coalition, UNFINISHED BUSINESS There are many unfinished phases of the initial program which need the continuing existance of o citizens' group to help with the completion of the program. Some of them are: i. Compiction of projects now in planning. 4. Legislation pending that will allow the city to Lease schools to be built by developers Simultaneously with housing projects, except in urban renewal areas. ey e Investigation of problems relating to code restrictions on innovative buiiding. 4, ihetivation of Board for the Greater Atlanta Housing Development Corporation. 5. Obtaining of additional sites in areas where low income housing is needed. It should be borne in mind, that while this program is apparently in good shape, that many of the projects still need shepherding. There are many forces trying to biock housing in Atlanta and any faltering in continuing efforts might well decimate the final accomplishment of the erection of the 16,800 units, I wish to close by thanking Col. Jones, William Gates of our staff, the members of our committee who worked dilligently during the past two years and such members as Archer Smith, Lee Burge, Clarence Coleman, Charles Palmer, Robert Winn and Dale Ciarlk immedietely come to mind among many others, This has truly been a working Committee. We aiso thank the Atlanta Housing Authority, the Planning Department, the Building Department, Public Works Department, members of the Board of Aldermen, Mayor Ailen and the members of the Press, Radic and TV Organizations.

WHITE COLUMNS ON PEACHTREE CHANNEL 2, ATLANTA, GA. 30309 AN EDITORIAL OPINION .... . .. . January 3, 1969 VIEWPOINT - An official e x pression of the editorial opinion of the management of WSB Television. American Builder Magazines' Centennial issue asked a hard question: "Who really give a damn about housing?" And answers: · "Not the cities - they're headed for a decade of failure. "Not the suburbs - they couldn't care less." "Not the rural areas - everyone's leaving them." "Not the power structure - all they do is talk, talk, talk." Then the magazine recognizes Atlanta as one of the few oasis in a desert of apathy. Because Mayor Allen, Dan Sweat, Cecil Alexander and Malcolm Jones have pushed us far ahead of other cities. But still not far enough. Even the Mayor's crash program falls short of help in the area of the greatest need: units that will rent or sell for $30 to $50 a month. So what can be done? Here is what WSB Television considers some key recommendations: The Federal Housing Act some loans for home ownerships at there's not enough money for this other housing programs. Congress the money. of 1968 allows the FHA to make one per cent interest! But project - or for many of the must see the crisis - and vote Building ·codes must be updated to allow for new, more economical assembly-line building techniques and materials. Building trade unions must stop discriminating and start.helping to train mo~e · workmen. _ Private enterprise must b~ able to build truly low cost housing at a profit. Senator Robert Kennedys suggestions for t ax benefits offer the best hope for that. (more) COX BROADCASTING CORPORATION stotion1: WSB AM-FM-TV, Atlonto • · WIOD AM-FM, Mioml e WHIO AM-FM -TV, Doyton • WSOC AM -FM-TV, Charlotte KTVU, Son Fronci1co •Ooklcnd • WIIC-TV, Pittsburgh �r What private enterprise so far has not built in Atlanta, must then be built as public housing. And some of this public housing can be built in present slum pockets even in Northside Atlanta. One of the most difficult problems in Atlanta is to find land at a reasonable price zoned for apartments. WSB Television suggests the expressways. That's right the expressways! Not on the pavement during rush hour traffic. But in the air space over the freeways! Not only is it possible to build housing over the expressways but it has been done in other cities. The land is already.owned by the government. And the government encourages use of the valuable air space for such necessary urban projects as housing. Incidentally, for rapid transit, too. Without the expressways, only 200 to 400 acres inside Atlanta are zoned for apartments.

VIEWPOINT - An official expression of the editorial opinion of the management of WSB Television. American Builder Magazines' Centennial issue asked a hard question: "Who really give a damn about housing?" And answers: "Not the cities - they're headed for a decade of failure. "Not the suburbs - they couldn't care less." "Not the rural areas - everyone's leaving them." "Not the power structure - all they do is talk, talk, talk." Then the magazine recognizes Atlanta as one of the few Oasis in a desert of apathy. Because Mayor Allen, Dan Sweat, Cecil Alexander and Malcolm Jones have pushed us far ahead of other cities. But still not far enough. Even the Mayor's crash pro- gram falls short of help in the area of the greatest need: units that will rent or sell for $30 to $50 a month. So what can be done? | Here is what WSB Television considers some key recommen- dations: The Federal Housing Act of 1968 allows the FHA to make some loans for home ownerships at one per cent interest! But there's not enough money for this project - or for many of the other housing programs. Congress must see the crisis - and vote the money. Building codes must be updated to allow for new, more economical assembly-line building techniques and materials. Building trade unions must stop discriminating and starthelping to train more workmen. _ Private enterprise must be able to build truly low cost housing at a profit. Senator Robert Kennedys suggestions for tax benefits offer the best hope for that.

And some of this public housing can be built in present slum pockets even in Northside Atlanta. One of the most difficult problems in Atlanta is to find land at a reasonable price zoned for apartments. WSB Television suggests the expressways. That's right - the expressways! Not on the pavement during rush hour traffic. But in the air space over the freeways! Not only is it possible to build housing over the expressways but it has been done in other cities. The land is already.owned by the government. And the government encourages use of the valuable air space for such necessary urban projects as housing. Incidentally, for rapid transit, too. Without the expressways, only 200 to 400 acres inside Atlanta are zoned for apartments. With the air space over the free- ways there would be a minimum of 2,700 acres of expressway right- of-way within the city of Atlanta. Already there's plenty of parking available every rush hour.

"Who is my neighbor?" If you live in Atlanta, here's a modern day answer to that 2,000 year old question. These are your neighbors. Some live in these homes because they are lazy; some because they don't know any better; but most because there is simply no other place to live in this city of a million. For too long, most of us have passed by our slum neighbors on the other side of the road. But the good Samaritans are among us today, too. In 1966, Mayor Allen set a goal - almost 17,000 new housing units in the next five years. It was a modest goal actually aimed only at keeping us about even in the fight against rotte n housing. Since then, Atlanta architect Cecil Alexander has sacrificed much of his own profit-making time as a non-paid chairman of the Mayor's Housing Resources Committee. And Malcolm Jones, a retired Army Colonel, has been the full-time working head of the big housing pus h. At the · e nd of the first two years, the program is amazingly "on schedule". Except in one important area: The city is 4,000 units behind in the goal rJr public housing. Behind in the very area where the need is greatest, where this family must live --in new units that can be rented or purchase d at $30 to $50 per month. Of all the units built or started since 19 66, private enterprise has not b~en able to build anything to re nt o r sell for l ess than $60 a month.

WSB VIEWPOINT "THE NEED FOR MORE SUBSIDIZED HOUSING" by Elmo Ellis, General Manager Broadcast Sunday, December 22, 1968 Novelist Jan Struther once wrote: "A city is greater than its bricks and mortar; it is greater than tower or palace, church or hall; a city's as great as the little people that live there." We agree with the sentiment expressed in these lines, but if we expect the little people to prove their greatness, aren't we duty bound to ask ourselves, what kind of living quarters are we providing for them? Many families in Atlanta are living in decrepit apartments and rat-infested slum housing. Their so-called homes are unfit for raising children. They lend themselves more often to serving as breeding places for discontent, disease and crime. While we have replaced some of these hovels and shacks, and expect to meet the Mayor's quota of 16,800 replacement units by 1971, we aren't providing nearly enough low and middle-income housing. And we aren't subsidizing the building of such units in enough different places in the city. Clarence Coleman of the Housing Resources Committee of Atlanta headed a team that studied this matter thoroughly. Its members concluded that (1) subsidized housing must be fairly distributed through the city; and (2) the only politically feasible way to do this is by a "package deal," which designates some ten areas located in various sections, north, south, east and west, all of which are suitable for housing development. The plan isn't new, but its never been given a vote of approval by the Board of Aldermen, If they would say yes, housing development could move ahead in a way to make 1969 a banner year for Atlanta. Our city has proved its ability to redesign our skyline with magnificent new office buildings, hotels, luxury apartments and shopping complexes. This same kind of vision and energetic leadership is sorely needed in the building of adequate subsidized housing, Besides eradicating substandard dwellings and bringing new sunlight into thousands of lives, such an enlightened effort on a massive, city-wide scale could nerhaps do more than any other thing to promote social and economic stability and stimulate peaceful progress throughout our community. A great many business, professional and church leaders are solidly behind this program. A number of our top civic organizations are enthusiastically supporting it. What we need now is a resounding expression of approval from the vast majority of our local citizens. If we make it clear and convincing that we, the people of Atlanta, are behind this package proposel--and we earnestly want to see subsidize housing distributed throughout the city--then we will improve vastly the chances that our Housing Authority and our Aldermen will hear and give this program the green light. t # # WIOD AM-FM, Miami o KTVU, San Francisco-Ookland o WIIC-T!, Pittsburgh F FES ep * =: = 1 i COX BROADCASTING CORPORATION slalions: Wa AM-FA-TV, Allanta © WHIO AM-FM-TV, Dayton @ WS5OC AM-FM-TY, Charlolle i: — v  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mr . Al exander then called o n Mr. Charles F. Palme r, member of the Public :-lousing Panel of the Committee, to discus s a Resolu tio n the Panel had prepared. Mr. Palmer stated that the only l ogica l conclusion reached is that (1) subsidized housing must be fairly distriduted throughout the city and, ( 2 ) that the only polit ic ally feasible way to do this is by a "pac k age deal " simu l taneously presented to Council by the Mayor and Atlanta Housing Authority with �Page 6 overwhelming community support. He stated that the opion of the sub-committee is that it is not too late to resubmit those rejected zoning applications through the "package plan" on a simultaneous basis to meet the city's needs for subsidized housing and that the Mayor, the Board of Aldermen and the Atlanta Housing Authority should proceed to do so forthwith. · Mr. Palmer then stated that if the same energy, zeal and leadership of our "power structure 11 and city officials that was mobilized to build our dazzling stadium, luxury apartments and magnificent hotels and office buildings in our urban redevelopment areas had been applied to providing subsidized housing for those who were bulldozed out of slums to ma ke room for these m~jestic structures, the goal of public housing which our Mayor proclaimed so long ago would now be nearly reached. Then, as spokesman for the Chairman of the Sub-Committee on Public Housing and on the sub-committee's behalf, moved that our full Committee does now reaffirm its position on "package rezon i ng", and calls upon its fellow organizations of the City and those responsible f~r its implementation to cooperate to put it into effect. The Resolution was duel seconded and the Chairman called f or discussion. Mr. Al exa nder then suggested that sinc e this was included in the requests made on hugusut 2, 1 968, to the Zoning Committee and the Planning and Development Committee of the Board of Aldermen and ha d been re f erred to the Planning Department, the Committee should first address the Planning Department as to current status of t he proposal. Mr. Palme r de cl i ne d the suggestion and as ked f or a f orma l vot e on the mot ion to a dopt the Resolution. I t was adopted una nimoualy. Mr . Alexander t hen showed the Commi ttee s lides tha t wer e t aken of the slums as they exist t od ay in certa in areas o f t he City , particularly Lightening , and as a contrast the new low-income replacement housing devel opment s such as : V!hea t St reet Gardens, College Plaza, Allen Te mple , Mc Daniel Street apar t ments for the Elderly , Hollywood Road Pro jGct , Bankhead Highwa y, Friedship Gardens , Thom~sville U.R . Projec t and the London Towne Houses. Mr. William Howland then comment0d on the f ive houses in Linwood Park which have been rehabilitPtod by CACUR under the 221 (h) program. The Chairmon then cnlled on Mr. Dan Sweat, Director of Governmental Li~ison, for comments. �Page 7 Mr. Sweat stated tha t the statis t ics released by Col. J ones and the Committee were impress i v e a nd that the influence of the Committee's success was not confined to Atlanta's hous i ng program alone but has also been felt at the na tiona l l evel and that housing experts from over the country have commented on the Atlanta approach and on the exce l lent program of the Housing Resources Committee. He stated that h i o f c olinc is that the story behind the statistics is where the real meaning of this Committee and the Housing Program is to be found. Be said that the work of the Committee has made 211 the city aware o f the desperate need for decent housing for the less fortunate, l ess affluent citizens of Atlanta; that it has helped bridge the gap of credit~bility bot¼cen the City - the institution - the power structure and a very large and importa nt segraent of our comr:mni t y, and most important , this· program started the City out on a new directi on so long needed. He stated that the Aldermen understood this need when they refused to p ass Urban Renewal Survey and Plannixg applications until the housing relocation needs were met. The Mayo r realized the need when he cal led the Hous i ng Conference and established this commit tee and it was obvious that the private business leadership recogn i zed i t when , the members of the Rousing Resources Committee, responded as has been done. V ., Mr . Sweat then po inted out that the resultant changes are re fle cted in a report given by Howard Openshaw, Director of Redevelopment of the Hous ing huthority, at the last CACUR meeting. Mr . Openshaw pointed out that o f the 10 1 033 units begun i n urban renewal pro jec ts i n 1968, 884 units have been completed which is 21 times t he nu~bcr of housing completed the previous year in urban renewal 2reas. During the sane period, o nly 484 units were demolished in urban renewal areas . So , for the first .time in the histo~y of Atlanta 's urban renewa l program , mo re bousing units were completed in urba n renewal areas than were .demolished. Mr . Sweat concluded by saying , "We have finally turned the corner in our urban redevelopment program and are headed in a new direction so long s ought. " Mr. Archer D. Smith , X](X , Chairman of th0 Legal Panel , made a warning statement that we·are deluding ourselves if we take the figur~s presented and quit working ; that we have got to be realistic and get behind the package zoning plan . Upon inquiry from the Chairman, Mr. Jones confirmed that sites for all of the 7,337 units shown as In Planning, have not yet been rezom~d. �Page 8 In reference t o the figures pert~ining to Public Housing, contained in the Summary of Status Report (Encl. 2, Second Annual Report), attention is called to the fact that although the 5,476 units shown as Completed, Under Construction and In Planning categories, fall short by 4,100 units of the 5 year · goal, it is ho~ever within 110 units of the 2 year goal of 5,586 Public Housing units announced in the Mayor's Housing Conference, November 15, 1966.

Then, as spokesman for the Chairman of the Sub-Committee on Public Housing and on the sub-comnittee's behalf, moved that our full Committee does now reaffirm its position on "package rezoning", and calls upon its fellow organizations of the City and those responsible for its implementation to cooperate to put it into effect, The Resolution was duel seconded and the Chairman called for discussion, Mr. Alexander then suggested that since this was included in the requests made on Augusut 2, 1968, to the Zoning Committee and the Planning and Bevelopment Committee of the Board of Aldermen and had been referred to the Planning Department, the Committee should first address the Planning Department as to current status of the proposal, Mr. Palmer declined the suggestion and asked for a formal vote on the motion to adopt the Resolution. It was adopted unanimously. Mr. Alexander then showed the Committee slides that were taken of the slums as they exist today in certain areas of the City, particularly Lightening, and as a contrast the new low-income replacement housing developments such as: Wheat Street Gardens, College Plaza, Allen Temple, McDaniel Street apartments for the Elderly, Hoilywood Road Project, Bankhead Highway, Friedship Gardens, Thomasville J.R, Project and the London Towne Houses, Mr. William Howland then commented on the five houses in Linwood Park which have been rehabilitatod by CACUR under the 221 (h) program, The Chairman then called on Mr. Dan Sweat, Director of Governmental Liaison, for comments, ee Page 7 Mr. Sweat stated that the statistics released by Col. Jones and the Committee were impressive and that the influence of the Committee's success was not confined to Atlanta's housing program alone but has also been felt at the national level and that housing experts from over the country have commented on the Atlanta approach and on the excellent program of the Housing Resources Committee, He stated that his fccling is that the story behind the statistics is where the real meaning of this Committee and the Housing Program is to be found, He said that the work of the Committee has made all the city aware of the desperate need for decent housing for the less fortunate, less affluent citizens of Atlanta; that it has helped bridge the gap of creditability botween the City - the institution - the power structure and a very large and important segment of our community, and most important, this program started the City cut on a new direction so long needed. He stated that the Aidermen understood this need when they refused to pass Urban Renewal Survey and Plannin applications until the housing relocation needs were met. The Mayor realized the need when he called the Housing Conference and established this committee and it was obvious that the private business leadership recognized it when, the members of the Housing Resources Committee, responded as has been done, Mr. Sweat then pointed out that the resultant changes are reflected in a report given by Howard Openshaw, Director of Redevelopment of the Housing Authority, at the last CACUR meeting, Mr. Openshaw pointed out that of the 10,033 units begun in urban renewal projects in 1968, 884 units have been completed which is 21 times the number of housing completed the previous year in urban renewal areas. During the same period, only 484 units were demolished in urban renewal areas. So, for the first time in the history of Atlanta's urban renewal program, more housing units were completed in urban renewal areas than were demolished, Mr, Sweat concluded by saying, "We have finally turned the corner in cur urban redevelopment program and are headed in a new direction so long sought." Mr. Archer D. Smith, Iii, Chairman of the Legal Panel, made a warning statement that we-are deluding ourselves if we take the figures presented and quit working; that we have got to be realistic and get behind the package zoning plan. Upon inquiry from the Chairman, Mr. Jones confirmed that sites for all of the 7,337 units shown as In Planning, have not yet been rezoned. Page & In reference to the figures pertaining to Public Housing, contained in the Summary of Status Report (Encl. 2, Second Annual Report), attention is called to the fact that although the 5,476 units shown as Completed, Under Construction and In Planning categories, fall short by 4,100 units of the 5 year’ goal, it is however within 110 units of the 2 year goal of 5,586 Public Housing units announced in the Mayor's Housing Conference, November 15, 1966, The meeting adjourned 11:30 a.a, Respectfully submitted, * rabeabinr oh Malcolm D, n Housing Coordifiator MC Encis: Resolution by Sublic Housing Sub-Committee Article, Atlanta Constitution, December 13, 1968 Editorial, Atlanta Journal, December 14, 1968 Editorial, Atlanta Constitution, December 16, 1968 An Official Cpinion of WSB-Radio/Atlanta, Dec, 22, 1968 Editorial, WSB-IV, January 2, 1969.

Copies of invitation~l notice, list of those invited, with attendance indicated, and other related documents are attached to the file copy of these minutes only. Chairman Alexander opened the meeting at 10:30 a.m. and called on Alderman .Cotsakis for a statement which he had asked to make. Mr. Cotsakis commented on revision of the Building Codes for the City of Atlanta, particulnrly to allow experimental housing to be built in the Model Cities area.

After days and nights of discussions and tireless blending of opinions, plans for action were unaminously agreed. rhe only logical conclusion was reached that (1) subsidized housing must be fairly distributed throughout the city and, (2) that the only politically feasible way to do this was by a "package deal" simultaneously presented to Council by the Mayor and Atlanta Housing Authority with overwhelming community support. Our full Committee, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the Ma yor ' s Citizens Advisory Committee, church organizations and many others approved and endorsed such procedure. But when submitted to the Housing Authority the Authority stated it hadn't studied the plan, failed to approve or disapprov~but instea d proceeded with the single shot approach which had failed before.

Allen at that time had set a of 16,800 replacement units by 1971. Jones said that some of lhe 7,337 in planning stages may fall by the wayside, but 6,215 uni ts being considered wlll more th;in compensate for -any losses. Jones said that the program is 4,100 behind in the public housing cate,go-ry, but 4,068 in tlie 1goal t.o rema•rks made at this week's a nnual Chamber of Commerce meeting ~hat the city's bui,lding codes are antiquated. Cotsakis, cha:irman of the Building Committee, asked that bhe HRC and the chamber show him specifically where changes would the:lp the low-cost hous,ing program without jeopardizing · health and safety. H such : ohanges aQ·e shown, Cotsakis said, "I assure you you'll get , 100 pe,r cent cooperation." �"Covers Dixie Like the Dew" Since 1883 Jack Tarver, President ·· EDITORIALS 2-A · low-Cost Housing Gap THE HOUSING Resources Committee heard Thursday that Mayor Ivan Allen's fiveyear, lo,v-cost housing goal of 16,800 replace. ment units by 1971 was . sure of being met. This is encouraging. · But the goal, unfortunately, falls far be-- low the mammoth commitment needed if city leaders are determined to wipe out the terrible slum conditions that breed violence and · volatile r esentment. Noting this, the HRC voted unanimously at its second annual meeting to endorse and push for appr oval of the zoning "package plan" designed to pave the way for low-cost . housing throughout all sections of the city . simultaneously. Is this too much to expect? The answer appar ently has been yesjudging by the silent reception the plan h_as r eceived from the alderm anic Pl anning and · Development Committee and the Zoning Committee since it was r eceived for study last August. Both comm Htces were to seek inform ation from the Planni ng Depar tment. Now, more than four months later , Pl an ning Department Director Colli er Gl adin has r epor ted no substantial progress has been mad e to implement the package plan. HRC Cha irman Cecil Alexander put the · need for the package plan in proper perspec- · . tive las t August. " It's like this, " he told the a ldermen, '.'eithe r we house the poor or we have within ou r midst, if not in this · generation, then cer tainly in the nex t, an alien ated · people r eady to gras p by fo rce what -we would . not pro·vide when there was ye t time. " The true indication of the meager success In providi ng adequate low-cost housing units so far in Atlanta comes from a statement r ele·a sed by the Atlanta Housing Authority Wednesday. F or the first time in Atlanta urban renewal histor=y, said the AHA, housing construction in 1968 exceeded the number of uni ts de molished. In other words , AtlcJ nta has virtually been staniling still, if not going backwards , in at-· tacking its low-cost problem in r ecent years. Therefore, it is not surprising to count the number of r esponsible community orga nizations supporting the package plan. They include the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the Community Council of the Atla nta Area Inc., Central Atlanta Progress Inc. , the Wori1en's C_hambe~ of Commerce, the League of Jack Spalding, Editor o DECEMBER 14, 1968 Women Voters, the Christian Council of--Metropolitan Atlanta, Inc., and the Metropolitan Atlanta Conference on Housing. It is time that the conscience of the community be heard . �' THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION Monday, December 16, 1968 ,r .A Fig1it at All Levels Two groups in the vital area of housing heard good news last week in Atlanta, btit members immediately got off their laurels to continue their work. ban Renewal, meantime, was hearing that for the first time in urban renewal history here housing construction exceeded the demolitfon rate. · The mayor's Housing Resources Committee was told that Mayor Ivan Allen Jr.'s five-year goal of 16,800 units of low-cost housing surely would be met. Lest this set off jubilation over the place, Atlanta Housing Authority official Howard Openshaw had a somber message, part of which was as follows: More than 3,000 have been completed, another 6,000 are under construction, and more than 7,000 are in the planning process. All wasn't optimism, however. "We're deluding ourselves," said attorney Archer D. Smith III, "if we take these figures and quit working. . . . We've got to be realistic and get behind the package zoning plan. The committee voted unanimously to seek again such a plan, which would zone for low-cost housing simultaneously throughout all sections of the city. Such an approach has been studied by the City Planning department since last August. "In our affluent society, it is unthinkable that millions of Americans remain ill-housed; that affluent whites continue to flee to the suburbs, leaving our urban core to the poor and blacks; that spreading slums and blight are leading us not to decay but destruction, while in many cities, officials remain insensitive lo the plight of the people.. The Citizens Advis0ry Committee for Ur- all Starkly pu t, yes, but a I summing of a national concern. It is well that Atlanta sees the problem and is fighting it through committee, agency, and individual leadership. This is one of America's most important battles, and it must be engaged at all levels of government. �AN OFFICIAL OPINION O F ·l· J: ( 4~ ..,.11?.W t l!__uW jj;j)_ . RADIO/ ATLANTA ~ ~7 1601 WEST PEACHTREE ST,, N.E. \•JSB VI El•IPOI NT "THE NEED FOR MORE SUBSIDIZED HOUSING by Elmo Ellis, General Manager Broadcast Sunday, December 22, 1968 11 Novelist Jan Struther once 1·1rote: A city is greater than its bricks and mortar; it is greater than tower or palace, church or hall; a city's as great as the little people that live there. 11 We agree wit~ the sentiment expressed in these lines, but if we expect the little people to prove their greatness, aren't vie duty bound to ask ourselves, what kind of living quarters are we providing for them? Many families in Atlanta are living in decrepit apartments and rat-infested slum housing. Their so-called homes are unfit for raising children . They lend themselves more often to serving as breeding places for discontent, disease and crime . While we have replaced some of these hovels and shacks, and expect to meet the Mayor's quota of 16,800 replacement units by 1971, we aren't providing nearly enough low and middle-income housing. And we aren't subsidizing the building of such units in enough different places in the city. Clarence Col eman of the Housing Resources Committee of Atlanta hea ded a t eam that studied this matter thoroughly. Its members concluded that (l) subsidized housing must be fairly distributed through the city; and (2) the only politically feasible way to do this is by a 11 package deal , 11 1,11hich designates some ten areas located in various sections, north, south, east and west, all of which are suitable for housing development. The plan isn't new, but its never been given a vote of approval by the Boa rd of Alder~n. If they would say yes, housing development could move ahead in a way to make 1969 a oanher year for Atlanta. Our city has proved its ability to redesign our skyline vlith magnificent ne\'.J office buildings, hotel s, lu xury apartme nts and shooping complexes , This same kin d of vi s ion . and energetic l eaders hip is so rely nee ded in the building of adeq uat e sub sidi ze d housing. · Besides eradicating substandard dwe llings and bringing new sunlight into thousands of lives, such an enlightened effort on a mas s ive, city-~·1i de scale could oerhaps do more than any other thing to promote social and .economic stabili ty and stimulate peaceful progress throughout our community . A great many bus in es s, profess ional and chu rch leader s are sol idl y behind this program. A number of our top civic organizations are enthus iastically s upportin~ it. What we need now i s a res ounding expression of approval from t he vast maj or ity of our loca l citizens . If we make i t cl ear and convin cin g that we , t he people of Atl anta , are behind t hi s package proposal --and we earnes t ly want to see subs idi ze housing di s tri buted t hro ughout the city--then vte will improve vastly the chances that our Housing Authority and our Aldermen will h2ar and give thi s program the green light. # # ,,..,..'°"."? ; 1.;'" I= ~ vi; ' C:: ' .

"Who is my neighbor?" If you live in Atlanta, here's a modern day answer to that 2,000 year old question. These are your neighbors. Some live in these homes because they are lazy; some because they don't know any better; but most because there is simply no other place to live in this city of a million. For too long, most of us have passed by our slum neighbors on the other side of the road. But the good Samaritans are among us today, too. In 1966, Mayor Allen set a goal - almost 17,000 new housing units in the next five years. It was a modest goal actually aimed only at keeping us about even in the fight against rotte n housing. Since then, Atlanta architect Cecil Alexander has sacrificed much of his own profit-making time as a non-paid chairman of the Mayor's Housing Resources Committee. And Malcolm Jones, a retired Army Colonel, has been the full-time working head of the big housing pus h. At the · e nd of the first two years, the program is amazingly "on schedule". Except in one important area: The city is 4,000 units behind in the goal rJr public housing. Behind in the very area where the need is greatest, where this family must live --in new units that can be rented or purchase d at $30 to $50 per month. Of all the units built or started since 19 66, private enterprise has not b~en able to build anything to re nt o r sell for l ess than $60 a month. That i s not to s a y tha t priv a t e builders have not tried. They have done a fine job. But the high co st of l and and labor and zoning problems have effectively prevented the building of tr~ly low co st housing. That me ans that our gove rnme nt , which is anothe r way of say ing -you a nd I , i s appare ntly the only Samaritan who can change the life of a boy like this.

January 3, 1969 VIEWPOINT - An official e x pression of the editorial opinion of the management of WSB Television. American Builder Magazines' Centennial issue asked a hard question: "Who really give a damn about housing?" And answers: · "Not the cities - they're headed for a decade of failure. "Not the suburbs - they couldn't care less." "Not the rural areas - everyone's leaving them." "Not the power structure - all they do is talk, talk, talk." Then the magazine recognizes Atlanta as one of the few oasis in a desert of apathy. Because Mayor Allen, Dan Sweat, Cecil Alexander and Malcolm Jones have pushed us far ahead of other cities. But still not far enough. Even the Mayor's crash program falls short of help in the area of the greatest need: units that will rent or sell for $30 to $50 a month. So what can be done? Here is what WSB Television considers some key recommendations: The Federal Housing Act some loans for home ownerships at there's not enough money for this other housing programs. Congress the money. of 1968 allows the FHA to make one per cent interest! But project - or for many of the must see the crisis - and vote Building ·codes must be updated to allow for new, more economical assembly-line building techniques and materials. Building trade unions must stop discriminating and start.helping to train mo~e · workmen. _ Private enterprise must b~ able to build truly low cost housing at a profit. Senator Robert Kennedys suggestions for t ax benefits offer the best hope for that.

And some of this public housing can be built in present slum pockets even in Northside Atlanta. One of the most difficult problems in Atlanta is to find land at a reasonable price zoned for apartments. WSB Television suggests the expressways. That's right the expressways! Not on the pavement during rush hour traffic. But in the air space over the freeways! Not only is it possible to build housing over the expressways but it has been done in other cities. The land is already.owned by the government. And the government encourages use of the valuable air space for such necessary urban projects as housing. Incidentally, for rapid transit, too. Without the expressways, only 200 to 400 acres inside Atlanta are zoned for apartments. With the air space over the freeways there would be a minimum of 2,700 acres of expressway rightof-way within the city of Atlanta. Already there's plenty of parking available e very rush hour. �C HOUSING RESOURCES COMMITTEE November 27, 1968 CITY HALL ATLANTA, GA. 30303 Tel. 522-4463 Area Code 404 _IVAN ALLEN, JR., MAYOR Dear Members: Housing Resources Committee, CECIL ·A.

Px'ivate i ndustry has been cha l lenged to provide six mil l ion addi ti ona l housing units during the next ten years for low and modera te i ncome f ami lies. The 196 8 legislation provides the t oo ls and incentives and success ·in meeting the national o bj ect ive will large l y de pend on: l. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Sponsor interest . Av 2ilability of land at a reasona b le price. The mortgage money mar ket . Municipal coo peration Fundi nE by the Congress in 1968 . Bui lding coda and zoning restrict i ons. Sec ti on 238: The 1968 Rousing Act established a new Special Ri s k Ins ura nce Fund wh ich permits the Federa l Housing Administrati on t o assume higher mortgage insurance ris ks in connection with b o th location and credit cha r acteristics that were unacce p ta bl e under the mut u al mortgage sec ti ons of the Act. This should widen b ot h the housing and the mortgage sect i o ns . o f the Act. This shou ld wide n b oth the housing and the mort ga ge mark et. Secti on 237 : Provides, on an experimental basis, FHA mortgage i nsuranc e to f inance homeownership f o r certain lower income families who cannot q u a lify under normal standards because of their pas t credit records , but who can me e t mortgage payments with appr o priate budget and financi al counseling . ,, Section 23 6 : Under this rental housing p rogram the tenant o r c ooperator will pay at least 25 pe r centum o f his family income towards the market rent or the ba sic rent , whichever is greater . The basic r cmta l is d etermined o n the basis of o perating the p ro·ec t with p ayments to principal and interest on a leve l annuity plan a t l percent intere st . NUD pays the mortgagee the difference between the amount collect ed from the occ upa nt and a fair market monthly rental determined on the basis of operating the p roj0ct with pa yraents o f pri nci pal , interest and mortgage insurance premium required on a level annuity mortgage at the market interest rate. There will be no subsidy f or the modera te income tenants . Maximum mortgage amounts 100% of FHA cost to nonprofit and 90% for p ro fit motivated sponsors. 40 year term. Limited to families whose incomes are not in excess of 135% of initial admission levels of public housing. �6 The above i s on l y a part ial outl i ne o f Section 236 . The regulations cover a wide segment o f r e ntal housing financing and the mortgage insurance terms are liberial. The Act authoriz ed $ 7 5 , 000 , 000 to July l , 1969 , but o nly $25 , 000 , 000 has bee n funded . These funds will likely be all oc ated very rapidly t o pr o p os ed re nta l and c ooperative p ro jects. There is no requ irement for a Workable Pr ogr am . \ \ \ Section 23 5: Thismc tion places heavy e mphasis on home o wners h ip and pr ovides t hat if the purchaser of a new home or a living units :in a condomimium will p ay at l east 20% o f the famil y's inc ome , HUD will pay the balance of the montbly mortgage payments~ A tw o fami l y dwelling may als o be purchased , if owner occupies omunit.

C. Latimore, the school board attorney, in conjunction with the Legal Panel to draft the specific local constitutional amendmento The advantage of this local constitutional amendment would be that school facilities could be provided in a low-cost housing project in the form of rental payments over a term of years, thus alleviating the need of the School Board to construct a school f acility at high initial costs, and thus providing the project with necessary community facilitieso The most oft-used excuse in opposition to zoning property for low-cost housing is that no school facilities would be available; an objection which would become moot after passage of the constitutional amendment, in that the School Board would lease with litt l e dimi nution in its bonds' credit . Upon compl et i on of the draft i ng, the amendment will t hen be s ubmitted to the School Board sometime in early 1969, for formal appr oval so t ha t it can be readied for the 1970 Legislatur e a nd subs equent referendumo As a practica l ma tter, the leasing arrangements in Urban areas wil l probabl y be r equ i r e d to conta in an option to purchase vested in the School Board , to c i rcumvent HUD requirements, in that City credi t agains t Federal Funds could only be allowed in structures which were a public faci l i t y ; a ccording t o Mr. Neil Zittrauer, of t he Departme nt of Housing and Ur b a n Developme nt , Renew~l Assistance Administration a · (2) The Legal Panel, through its Chairman, drafted the Packa ge Zoning Proposal, presented to the Board of Aldermen on August 2 , 1 9 6 8, a nd assis ted in the publ i c i ty surrounding the pres e nt a tion of s aid proposal on August 2, 19680 (3 ) The Legal Panel, through its Chair ma n, ser ved on a n Ad Hoc Committee, r ev i ewing the total pur poses of the Committeea This Ad Hoc Committee reviewed a report of Colone l Jones, da t e d February 7, 1968, and made its comments to t he full Housing Resources Committeeo (4) Mro Freeman Hutton delivered a report on the Housing and Urban Development Ac t of 1968a At the conclusion of the report , Mro Hutton was charged with the responsil:ility of working with Mro Bill Gates to compile a detailed analysis of the Act and its affect �2 on Housing Resources Committee activitieso The Legal Panel is presently working on Housing Code - enforcement, inability of certain slum dwellers to obtain building permits in nonconforming areas of the City, as well as its continued analysis of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, and continued participation in the .School Board amendment involving leasingo Archer D.

UNFIN.1SHED BUSINESS There are many unfinished phases of the initial program which need the continu i ng existance of n citizens• group to help with the completion of the program. Some of them are: 1. Completion of projects now in planning. 2. Legislation pendi ng t ha t will allow the city to l ease schools to be built by developers simultaneously with housing projects, except in urban renew~l areas. 3. Investigation of problems relatin8 to code restrictions on innovative building. 4. ~ctivation of Board for the Greater htlanta Housing Development Corporation. 5. Obtaining of additional sites in areas where l ow income housing is needed. It should be borne in mind, that while this program is ~pparently in good sha pe , that many of the projects still need shepherding. There are many forces trying to bloc k housing in Atlanta and any faltering in continuing efforts might well decimate the final a ccomplishment of the erection of the 16,800 units. I wish to close by thanking Col. Jones, William Gates of our staff, the raembers of our cor:imi ttee who worked eilligently during t he past two yesrs ~ nd such members as Archer Smith , Lee Burge , Cl 3re nc e Coleman, Cha r les Palmer , Robe rt Winn snd D~le Cla r 1 immediately come to mind ar:1ong many otbe•e.

I I In brief$ the ach i evements and act i vities of the Legal Panel in tbe year-to date have been as follows~ (1) Advocacy, drafting and passage by the Atlanta School Board of a local constitutional amendment to allow the City of Atlanta, through its local School Board, to lea se school buildings for a term longer than that of the Ci t y Councilo The research on this project was done by Freeman Hutton and the Chairman of this Committee, and was presented by the Chairman to the School Board on June 28, 19680 The 3chool Board passed the concept of leasing school buildings from private developer s for a long-term in principal, and directed Mr~ Ao C. Latimer" the schocl board attorney~ in conjunction with the Legal Panel draft the specific local constitutional -amendmento to The a dvantage of this local constitutional amendment would be that school facilities could be provided in a low-cost housing project in the form of xental payments over a term of years, thus alleviating the need of the School Board to construct a school facility at high initial costs, and thus providing the project with necessary community fa c i lit ies o The most oft-used ex cuse in opposition to zoning proper ty f or low- cost housing is that no school f acilities would be available; a n obj e ction which would b e come moot after passage of the constitutional amendment, in that the School Board would lease with little diminution in its bonds' credito Upon completion of the d rafting, t he amendment will then be submitted to the School Board sometime in early 1969, for formal approval so that it can be rea died for the 1970 Legislature and subsequent referendumo As a practical matter, the leas ing arrangements in Urban areas will probably be required to contain an option to purchase vested i n the School Board in that City credit against Federal Funds could only b e al lowed in structures which were a public facility; ac cording to Mr Neil Zi ttrauer, o f the Depar tment of Housing and Urban Development, Re newal Assis t a nce Admini~trationo 0 (2) The Legal Panel, through its Chairman, drafted the Package Zoning Proposal, presented to the Board of Aldermen on August 2, 1968, and assisted in the publ icity surr ounding the presentation of said p r oposa l on August 2, 19680 (3 ) The Legal Pa nel, throu gh its Cha i rman, serv e d on an Ad Hoc Committee , r eview ing t he tota l purposes of t he Committ ee o This Ad Hoc Committee rev i e wed a report of Colonel Jones , dated Febr uary 7, 1968, and made its c omments to the full Housing Resources Committee o (4) Mr o Freema n Hu t t on del i vered a report on the Hous i ng and Urban Development Act of 1 9 68 0 At t he conclusion of the report, Mro Hutton was charged with the res ponsibility of working with Mr o Bill Gates to compile a detailed analysis of the Act and its affect Encl: le �2 on Housing Resources Committee activities.

In close cooperation with the Chamber were Central Atlanta Progress, Inc., key persons of the Mayor' s Housing Resources Committee, and others. It was the intent of the Chamber's Board of Directors, in establishing the corporation, to seek a broad base of leaders1?,ip and financial involvement from throughout the Atlanta business community. Toward this end, a number of the city's leading business citizens have been invited to participate in the funding of the corporation, and there has been gratifying response. The Greater Atlanta Housing Development Corporation will aid sponsors of housing programs in several ways: Interpretation and explanation of programs available under current housing legislation; advisory help and coordination of the development functions, such as assistance in selecting an architect, attorney, engineer, contractor, developer and financial institution for construction loans -- seeking, in each case, those experienced in the type project selected; and helping to arrange and negotiate "seed money" loans for expenses for such services above set out which are incurred before mortgage proceeds become available. These services are being provided through the corporation's Executive Director, who is highly knowledgeable in housing finance, project development and management, judgment of the feasibility of projects, technical aspects of Federal Housing Administration procedures, and communication with the business community and p.eighborhood groups. Arrangement and negotiation of short-term "seed money" loans will result in a reduction of the sponsor's risk and thereby stimulate the construction of sales and rental housing for lower income families and promote rehabilitation of substandard housing. (One prime source of seed money, or 1 ifront end" loans, is to be Atlanta Civic Enterprises, Inc., an organization of ten larger businesses which have created a pool of resources to help solve the local need for housing. Atlanta Civic Enterprises, Inc., is in agreement with the method of approach being undertaken by' the corporation.) The loan fund administered by Atlanta Civic Enterprises fills this need for seed money, which can be loaned at less than the market rate of interest -- with some type of security -and will be generally supplemented to some extent by the non- profit sponsor. It will be a revolving fund, as funds disbursed for the permanent loan are used to repay the seed money, or front end, loans. �/ / Housing Development Corporation - 2 / Cost of operations will initially be provided from the funding support of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and members of the Atlanta business community. However, the corporation is anticipated to become self- sustaining from the fees or other charges for the technical services rendered. Such charges, as a part of the project cost, would be paid from the proceeds of permanent loans. Already, in some FHA projects which have the 100 per cent loan provision, a consultant fee is allowed for inclusion in the cost and payable when mor tgage money is available. The Greater Atlanta Housing Development Corporati on ost ensibly would qualify for such fees in many instances. The housing legislation passed by Congress permits non-profit organizat ions, such as churches, civic organizations, unions and others, to sponsor projects of building or rehabilitating housing for low to moderate income fan1ilies, with loans up to 100 per cent of the costs at interest rates, in some cases, as low as 1 per cent. Despite 100 per cent financing, the initial costs of architect fees, attorney fees, engineering studies, FHA fees, land options and other costs must be paid before mortgage proceeds become available. These front end expenditures can amount to as much as 4 per cent of the total project cost but are reimbursable when mortgage money becomes available. Lack of funds to meet these ·e xpenses often seriously delays or completely rules out projects by non-profit sponsors. Executive Director of the non-profit corporation is Mr. Robert Watkins, formerly owner of Industrial Service Company and with a background in the construction business. Offices of the corporation are located at 2742 First National Bank Building, adjacent to the offices of Central Atlanta Progress, Inc . , which is providing secretarial help as well as office space for the new corporation. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Mr. Cotsakis commented on revision of the Building Codes for the City of Atlanta, particulnrly to allow experimental housing to be built in the Model Cities area. He said that if any one had any chnges of the Building Codes which they desired be made, that they should bring proposals for specific changes to the attention of the Building Committee. Mr. Alexander then called on M~lcolm Jones to eemment ~n the accomplishments of the Housing Resources Committee. Mr . Jones said that November 15, 1968, marked the completion ef the first two years' activity of tbe Housing Resources Committee in its effort to promote and accelerate the Low•income Housing Progrem in Atlanta, for which the goal was 16 1 800 low and medium in~ome housing units during a five year period (1967-71), announced by the Mayor in his Housing Conference establishing the HRC on November 15, 1966 . He then stated that tho fiYe. yoar goal is now in the pipeline and that the current status of the low and medium income housing pPogram shows: Completed Under Construction In Pl~nning Xn Sight 3 1 217 units 6 ,278 units 7.337 units lt',832 units Total This slightly exceeds (by 32 units) the 5 year goal of 16,800 units and is only 305 units sho~ in the first two categories, of the aoticipated need fer g,800 units during the first two years of the program~ �PQge 2 He also stated that the Housing Resources Committee has accomplished: 1.

Mr . Al exander then called o n Mr. Charles F. Palme r, member of the Public :-lousing Panel of the Committee, to discus s a Resolu tio n the Panel had prepared. Mr. Palmer stated that the only l ogica l conclusion reached is that (1) subsidized housing must be fairly distriduted throughout the city and, ( 2 ) that the only polit ic ally feasible way to do this is by a "pac k age deal " simu l taneously presented to Council by the Mayor and Atlanta Housing Authority with �Page 6 overwhelming community support. He stated that the opion of the sub-committee is that it is not too late to resubmit those rejected zoning applications through the "package plan" on a simultaneous basis to meet the city's needs for subsidized housing and that the Mayor, the Board of Aldermen and the Atlanta Housing Authority should proceed to do so forthwith. · Mr. Palmer then stated that if the same energy, zeal and leadership of our "power structure 11 and city officials that was mobilized to build our dazzling stadium, luxury apartments and magnificent hotels and office buildings in our urban redevelopment areas had been applied to providing subsidized housing for those who were bulldozed out of slums to ma ke room for these m~jestic structures, the goal of public housing which our Mayor proclaimed so long ago would now be nearly reached. Then, as spokesman for the Chairman of the Sub-Committee on Public Housing and on the sub-committee's behalf, moved that our full Committee does now reaffirm its position on "package rezon i ng", and calls upon its fellow organizations of the City and those responsible f~r its implementation to cooperate to put it into effect. The Resolution was duel seconded and the Chairman called f or discussion. Mr. Al exa nder then suggested that sinc e this was included in the requests made on hugusut 2, 1 968, to the Zoning Committee and the Planning and Development Committee of the Board of Aldermen and ha d been re f erred to the Planning Department, the Committee should first address the Planning Department as to current status of t he proposal. Mr. Palme r de cl i ne d the suggestion and as ked f or a f orma l vot e on the mot ion to a dopt the Resolution. I t was adopted una nimoualy. Mr . Alexander t hen showed the Commi ttee s lides tha t wer e t aken of the slums as they exist t od ay in certa in areas o f t he City , particularly Lightening , and as a contrast the new low-income replacement housing devel opment s such as : V!hea t St reet Gardens, College Plaza, Allen Te mple , Mc Daniel Street apar t ments for the Elderly , Hollywood Road Pro jGct , Bankhead Highwa y, Friedship Gardens , Thom~sville U.R . Projec t and the London Towne Houses. Mr. William Howland then comment0d on the f ive houses in Linwood Park which have been rehabilitPtod by CACUR under the 221 (h) program. The Chairmon then cnlled on Mr. Dan Sweat, Director of Governmental Li~ison, for comments. �Page 7 Mr. Sweat stated tha t the statis t ics released by Col. J ones and the Committee were impress i v e a nd that the influence of the Committee's success was not confined to Atlanta's hous i ng program alone but has also been felt at the na tiona l l evel and that housing experts from over the country have commented on the Atlanta approach and on the exce l lent program of the Housing Resources Committee. He stated that h i o f c olinc is that the story behind the statistics is where the real meaning of this Committee and the Housing Program is to be found. Be said that the work of the Committee has made 211 the city aware o f the desperate need for decent housing for the less fortunate, l ess affluent citizens of Atlanta; that it has helped bridge the gap of credit~bility bot¼cen the City - the institution - the power structure and a very large and importa nt segraent of our comr:mni t y, and most important , this· program started the City out on a new directi on so long needed. He stated that the Aldermen understood this need when they refused to p ass Urban Renewal Survey and Plannixg applications until the housing relocation needs were met. The Mayo r realized the need when he cal led the Hous i ng Conference and established this commit tee and it was obvious that the private business leadership recogn i zed i t when , the members of the Rousing Resources Committee, responded as has been done. V ., Mr . Sweat then po inted out that the resultant changes are re fle cted in a report given by Howard Openshaw, Director of Redevelopment of the Hous ing huthority, at the last CACUR meeting. Mr . Openshaw pointed out that o f the 10 1 033 units begun i n urban renewal pro jec ts i n 1968, 884 units have been completed which is 21 times t he nu~bcr of housing completed the previous year in urban renewal 2reas. During the sane period, o nly 484 units were demolished in urban renewal areas . So , for the first .time in the histo~y of Atlanta 's urban renewa l program , mo re bousing units were completed in urba n renewal areas than were .demolished. Mr . Sweat concluded by saying , "We have finally turned the corner in our urban redevelopment program and are headed in a new direction so long s ought. " Mr. Archer D. Smith , X](X , Chairman of th0 Legal Panel , made a warning statement that we·are deluding ourselves if we take the figur~s presented and quit working ; that we have got to be realistic and get behind the package zoning plan . Upon inquiry from the Chairman, Mr. Jones confirmed that sites for all of the 7,337 units shown as In Planning, have not yet been rezom~d. �Page 8 In reference t o the figures pert~ining to Public Housing, contained in the Summary of Status Report (Encl. 2, Second Annual Report), attention is called to the fact that although the 5,476 units shown as Completed, Under Construction and In Planning categories, fall short by 4,100 units of the 5 year · goal, it is ho~ever within 110 units of the 2 year goal of 5,586 Public Housing units announced in the Mayor's Housing Conference, November 15, 1966.

After days and nights of discussions and tireless blending of opinions, plans for action were unaminously agreed. rhe only logical conclusion was reached that (1) subsidized housing must be fairly distributed throughout the city and, (2) that the only politically feasible way to do this was by a "package deal" simultaneously presented to Council by the Mayor and Atlanta Housing Authority with overwhelming community support. Our full Committee, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the Ma yor ' s Citizens Advisory Committee, church organizations and many others approved and endorsed such procedure. But when submitted to the Housing Authority the Authority stated it hadn't studied the plan, failed to approve or disapprov~but instea d proceeded with the single shot approach which had failed before.

This is encouraging. · But the goal, unfortunately, falls far be-- low the mammoth commitment needed if city leaders are determined to wipe out the terrible slum conditions that breed violence and · volatile r esentment. Noting this, the HRC voted unanimously at its second annual meeting to endorse and push for appr oval of the zoning "package plan" designed to pave the way for low-cost . housing throughout all sections of the city . simultaneously. Is this too much to expect? The answer appar ently has been yesjudging by the silent reception the plan h_as r eceived from the alderm anic Pl anning and · Development Committee and the Zoning Committee since it was r eceived for study last August. Both comm Htces were to seek inform ation from the Planni ng Depar tment. Now, more than four months later , Pl an ning Department Director Colli er Gl adin has r epor ted no substantial progress has been mad e to implement the package plan. HRC Cha irman Cecil Alexander put the · need for the package plan in proper perspec- · . tive las t August.

" The true indication of the meager success In providi ng adequate low-cost housing units so far in Atlanta comes from a statement r ele·a sed by the Atlanta Housing Authority Wednesday. F or the first time in Atlanta urban renewal histor=y, said the AHA, housing construction in 1968 exceeded the number of uni ts de molished. In other words , AtlcJ nta has virtually been staniling still, if not going backwards , in at-· tacking its low-cost problem in r ecent years. Therefore, it is not surprising to count the number of r esponsible community orga nizations supporting the package plan. They include the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the Community Council of the Atla nta Area Inc., Central Atlanta Progress Inc. , the Wori1en's C_hambe~ of Commerce, the League of Jack Spalding, Editor o DECEMBER 14, 1968 Women Voters, the Christian Council of--Metropolitan Atlanta, Inc., and the Metropolitan Atlanta Conference on Housing. It is time that the conscience of the community be heard . �' THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION Monday, December 16, 1968 ,r .A Fig1it at All Levels Two groups in the vital area of housing heard good news last week in Atlanta, btit members immediately got off their laurels to continue their work. ban Renewal, meantime, was hearing that for the first time in urban renewal history here housing construction exceeded the demolitfon rate. · The mayor's Housing Resources Committee was told that Mayor Ivan Allen Jr.'s five-year goal of 16,800 units of low-cost housing surely would be met. Lest this set off jubilation over the place, Atlanta Housing Authority official Howard Openshaw had a somber message, part of which was as follows: More than 3,000 have been completed, another 6,000 are under construction, and more than 7,000 are in the planning process. All wasn't optimism, however. "We're deluding ourselves," said attorney Archer D. Smith III, "if we take these figures and quit working. . . . We've got to be realistic and get behind the package zoning plan. The committee voted unanimously to seek again such a plan, which would zone for low-cost housing simultaneously throughout all sections of the city. Such an approach has been studied by the City Planning department since last August. "In our affluent society, it is unthinkable that millions of Americans remain ill-housed; that affluent whites continue to flee to the suburbs, leaving our urban core to the poor and blacks; that spreading slums and blight are leading us not to decay but destruction, while in many cities, officials remain insensitive lo the plight of the people.. The Citizens Advis0ry Committee for Ur- all Starkly pu t, yes, but a I summing of a national concern. It is well that Atlanta sees the problem and is fighting it through committee, agency, and individual leadership.

RADIO/ ATLANTA ~ ~7 1601 WEST PEACHTREE ST,, N.E. \•JSB VI El•IPOI NT "THE NEED FOR MORE SUBSIDIZED HOUSING by Elmo Ellis, General Manager Broadcast Sunday, December 22, 1968 11 Novelist Jan Struther once 1·1rote: A city is greater than its bricks and mortar; it is greater than tower or palace, church or hall; a city's as great as the little people that live there. 11 We agree wit~ the sentiment expressed in these lines, but if we expect the little people to prove their greatness, aren't vie duty bound to ask ourselves, what kind of living quarters are we providing for them? Many families in Atlanta are living in decrepit apartments and rat-infested slum housing. Their so-called homes are unfit for raising children . They lend themselves more often to serving as breeding places for discontent, disease and crime . While we have replaced some of these hovels and shacks, and expect to meet the Mayor's quota of 16,800 replacement units by 1971, we aren't providing nearly enough low and middle-income housing. And we aren't subsidizing the building of such units in enough different places in the city. Clarence Col eman of the Housing Resources Committee of Atlanta hea ded a t eam that studied this matter thoroughly. Its members concluded that (l) subsidized housing must be fairly distributed through the city; and (2) the only politically feasible way to do this is by a 11 package deal , 11 1,11hich designates some ten areas located in various sections, north, south, east and west, all of which are suitable for housing development. The plan isn't new, but its never been given a vote of approval by the Boa rd of Alder~n. If they would say yes, housing development could move ahead in a way to make 1969 a oanher year for Atlanta. Our city has proved its ability to redesign our skyline vlith magnificent ne\'.J office buildings, hotel s, lu xury apartme nts and shooping complexes , This same kin d of vi s ion . and energetic l eaders hip is so rely nee ded in the building of adeq uat e sub sidi ze d housing. · Besides eradicating substandard dwe llings and bringing new sunlight into thousands of lives, such an enlightened effort on a mas s ive, city-~·1i de scale could oerhaps do more than any other thing to promote social and .economic stabili ty and stimulate peaceful progress throughout our community . A great many bus in es s, profess ional and chu rch leader s are sol idl y behind this program. A number of our top civic organizations are enthus iastically s upportin~ it. What we need now i s a res ounding expression of approval from t he vast maj or ity of our loca l citizens . If we make i t cl ear and convin cin g that we , t he people of Atl anta , are behind t hi s package proposal --and we earnes t ly want to see subs idi ze housing di s tri buted t hro ughout the city--then vte will improve vastly the chances that our Housing Authority and our Aldermen will h2ar and give thi s program the green light. # # ,,..,..'°"."? ; 1.;'" I= ~ vi; ' C:: ' .

"Who is my neighbor?" If you live in Atlanta, here's a modern day answer to that 2,000 year old question. These are your neighbors. Some live in these homes because they are lazy; some because they don't know any better; but most because there is simply no other place to live in this city of a million. For too long, most of us have passed by our slum neighbors on the other side of the road. But the good Samaritans are among us today, too. In 1966, Mayor Allen set a goal - almost 17,000 new housing units in the next five years. It was a modest goal actually aimed only at keeping us about even in the fight against rotte n housing. Since then, Atlanta architect Cecil Alexander has sacrificed much of his own profit-making time as a non-paid chairman of the Mayor's Housing Resources Committee. And Malcolm Jones, a retired Army Colonel, has been the full-time working head of the big housing pus h. At the · e nd of the first two years, the program is amazingly "on schedule". Except in one important area: The city is 4,000 units behind in the goal rJr public housing. Behind in the very area where the need is greatest, where this family must live --in new units that can be rented or purchase d at $30 to $50 per month. Of all the units built or started since 19 66, private enterprise has not b~en able to build anything to re nt o r sell for l ess than $60 a month. That i s not to s a y tha t priv a t e builders have not tried. They have done a fine job. But the high co st of l and and labor and zoning problems have effectively prevented the building of tr~ly low co st housing. That me ans that our gove rnme nt , which is anothe r way of say ing -you a nd I , i s appare ntly the only Samaritan who can change the life of a boy like this.

January 3, 1969 VIEWPOINT - An official e x pression of the editorial opinion of the management of WSB Television. American Builder Magazines' Centennial issue asked a hard question: "Who really give a damn about housing?" And answers: · "Not the cities - they're headed for a decade of failure. "Not the suburbs - they couldn't care less." "Not the rural areas - everyone's leaving them." "Not the power structure - all they do is talk, talk, talk." Then the magazine recognizes Atlanta as one of the few oasis in a desert of apathy. Because Mayor Allen, Dan Sweat, Cecil Alexander and Malcolm Jones have pushed us far ahead of other cities. But still not far enough. Even the Mayor's crash program falls short of help in the area of the greatest need: units that will rent or sell for $30 to $50 a month. So what can be done? Here is what WSB Television considers some key recommendations: The Federal Housing Act some loans for home ownerships at there's not enough money for this other housing programs. Congress the money. of 1968 allows the FHA to make one per cent interest! But project - or for many of the must see the crisis - and vote Building ·codes must be updated to allow for new, more economical assembly-line building techniques and materials. Building trade unions must stop discriminating and start.helping to train mo~e · workmen. _ Private enterprise must b~ able to build truly low cost housing at a profit.

And some of this public housing can be built in present slum pockets even in Northside Atlanta. One of the most difficult problems in Atlanta is to find land at a reasonable price zoned for apartments. WSB Television suggests the expressways. That's right the expressways! Not on the pavement during rush hour traffic. But in the air space over the freeways! Not only is it possible to build housing over the expressways but it has been done in other cities. The land is already.owned by the government. And the government encourages use of the valuable air space for such necessary urban projects as housing. Incidentally, for rapid transit, too. Without the expressways, only 200 to 400 acres inside Atlanta are zoned for apartments. With the air space over the freeways there would be a minimum of 2,700 acres of expressway rightof-way within the city of Atlanta. Already there's plenty of parking available e very rush hour. �C HOUSING RESOURCES COMMITTEE November 27, 1968 CITY HALL ATLANTA, GA. 30303 Tel. 522-4463 Area Code 404 _IVAN ALLEN, JR., MAYOR Dear Members: Housing Resources Committee, CECIL ·A.

Px'ivate i ndustry has been cha l lenged to provide six mil l ion addi ti ona l housing units during the next ten years for low and modera te i ncome f ami lies. The 196 8 legislation provides the t oo ls and incentives and success ·in meeting the national o bj ect ive will large l y de pend on: l. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Sponsor interest . Av 2ilability of land at a reasona b le price. The mortgage money mar ket . Municipal coo peration Fundi nE by the Congress in 1968 . Bui lding coda and zoning restrict i ons. Sec ti on 238: The 1968 Rousing Act established a new Special Ri s k Ins ura nce Fund wh ich permits the Federa l Housing Administrati on t o assume higher mortgage insurance ris ks in connection with b o th location and credit cha r acteristics that were unacce p ta bl e under the mut u al mortgage sec ti ons of the Act. This should widen b ot h the housing and the mortgage sect i o ns . o f the Act. This shou ld wide n b oth the housing and the mort ga ge mark et. Secti on 237 : Provides, on an experimental basis, FHA mortgage i nsuranc e to f inance homeownership f o r certain lower income families who cannot q u a lify under normal standards because of their pas t credit records , but who can me e t mortgage payments with appr o priate budget and financi al counseling . ,, Section 23 6 : Under this rental housing p rogram the tenant o r c ooperator will pay at least 25 pe r centum o f his family income towards the market rent or the ba sic rent , whichever is greater . The basic r cmta l is d etermined o n the basis of o perating the p ro·ec t with p ayments to principal and interest on a leve l annuity plan a t l percent intere st . NUD pays the mortgagee the difference between the amount collect ed from the occ upa nt and a fair market monthly rental determined on the basis of operating the p roj0ct with pa yraents o f pri nci pal , interest and mortgage insurance premium required on a level annuity mortgage at the market interest rate. There will be no subsidy f or the modera te income tenants . Maximum mortgage amounts 100% of FHA cost to nonprofit and 90% for p ro fit motivated sponsors. 40 year term. Limited to families whose incomes are not in excess of 135% of initial admission levels of public housing. �6 The above i s on l y a part ial outl i ne o f Section 236 . The regulations cover a wide segment o f r e ntal housing financing and the mortgage insurance terms are liberial. The Act authoriz ed $ 7 5 , 000 , 000 to July l , 1969 , but o nly $25 , 000 , 000 has bee n funded . These funds will likely be all oc ated very rapidly t o pr o p os ed re nta l and c ooperative p ro jects. There is no requ irement for a Workable Pr ogr am . \ \ \ Section 23 5: Thismc tion places heavy e mphasis on home o wners h ip and pr ovides t hat if the purchaser of a new home or a living units :in a condomimium will p ay at l east 20% o f the famil y's inc ome , HUD will pay the balance of the montbly mortgage payments~ A tw o fami l y dwelling may als o be purchased , if owner occupies omunit. Mortgages are limi t ed t o $15,000 and $17 , 000 f o r large families . Fami ly i ncome limited to 135% o f p u blic h o usi ng entrance levels . 30 ye ar mortgage term. No Work able Pr ogram i s required . Sub sidies vary with the inc ome of the purchaser and the cash investment in the h ousing unit will range f rom a minimum of $ 2 00 t o 3% o f FHA ' s ,a st imate of cost . Section 235 of the Ho u sing Act is very comprehensive and the present funding o f $ 2 5 , 0 00 , 0 0 0 will be used up rapidly.

C. Latimore, the school board attorney, in conjunction with the Legal Panel to draft the specific local constitutional amendmento The advantage of this local constitutional amendment would be that school facilities could be provided in a low-cost housing project in the form of rental payments over a term of years, thus alleviating the need of the School Board to construct a school f acility at high initial costs, and thus providing the project with necessary community facilitieso The most oft-used excuse in opposition to zoning property for low-cost housing is that no school facilities would be available; an objection which would become moot after passage of the constitutional amendment, in that the School Board would lease with litt l e dimi nution in its bonds' credit . Upon compl et i on of the draft i ng, the amendment will t hen be s ubmitted to the School Board sometime in early 1969, for formal appr oval so t ha t it can be readied for the 1970 Legislatur e a nd subs equent referendumo As a practica l ma tter, the leasing arrangements in Urban areas wil l probabl y be r equ i r e d to conta in an option to purchase vested in the School Board , to c i rcumvent HUD requirements, in that City credi t agains t Federal Funds could only be allowed in structures which were a public faci l i t y ; a ccording t o Mr. Neil Zittrauer, of t he Departme nt of Housing and Ur b a n Developme nt , Renew~l Assistance Administration a · (2) The Legal Panel, through its Chairman, drafted the Packa ge Zoning Proposal, presented to the Board of Aldermen on August 2 , 1 9 6 8, a nd assis ted in the publ i c i ty surrounding the pres e nt a tion of s aid proposal on August 2, 19680 (3 ) The Legal Panel, through its Chair ma n, ser ved on a n Ad Hoc Committee, r ev i ewing the total pur poses of the Committeea This Ad Hoc Committee reviewed a report of Colone l Jones, da t e d February 7, 1968, and made its comments to t he full Housing Resources Committeeo (4) Mro Freeman Hutton delivered a report on the Housing and Urban Development Ac t of 1968a At the conclusion of the report , Mro Hutton was charged with the responsil:ility of working with Mro Bill Gates to compile a detailed analysis of the Act and its affect �2 on Housing Resources Committee activitieso The Legal Panel is presently working on Housing Code - enforcement, inability of certain slum dwellers to obtain building permits in nonconforming areas of the City, as well as its continued analysis of the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, and continued participation in the .School Board amendment involving leasingo Archer D.

P~ivate industry has been cha l lenged to provide six million additional housing units during the next ten years for low and moderate income fami l ies.

There nre many ch~nges and additions to the Housing Act that have no t been covered in the brief o u t line above . Other sections apply to Urban Renewal , Public Housing, Housing for the Elderly, Nuroing Homes , Nonprofit Hos pital s, Flood Insurance, Financing, etc .

UNFIN.1SHED BUSINESS There are many unfinished phases of the initial program which need the continu i ng existance of n citizens• group to help with the completion of the program. Some of them are: 1. Completion of projects now in planning. 2. Legislation pendi ng t ha t will allow the city to l ease schools to be built by developers simultaneously with housing projects, except in urban renew~l areas. 3. Investigation of problems relatin8 to code restrictions on innovative building. 4. ~ctivation of Board for the Greater htlanta Housing Development Corporation. 5. Obtaining of additional sites in areas where l ow income housing is needed. It should be borne in mind, that while this program is ~pparently in good sha pe , that many of the projects still need shepherding. There are many forces trying to bloc k housing in Atlanta and any faltering in continuing efforts might well decimate the final a ccomplishment of the erection of the 16,800 units. I wish to close by thanking Col. Jones, William Gates of our staff, the raembers of our cor:imi ttee who worked eilligently during t he past two yesrs ~ nd such members as Archer Smith , Lee Burge , Cl 3re nc e Coleman, Cha r les Palmer , Robe rt Winn snd D~le Cla r 1 immediately come to mind ar:1ong many otbe•e.

I I In brief$ the ach i evements and act i vities of the Legal Panel in tbe year-to date have been as follows~ (1) Advocacy, drafting and passage by the Atlanta School Board of a local constitutional amendment to allow the City of Atlanta, through its local School Board, to lea se school buildings for a term longer than that of the Ci t y Councilo The research on this project was done by Freeman Hutton and the Chairman of this Committee, and was presented by the Chairman to the School Board on June 28, 19680 The 3chool Board passed the concept of leasing school buildings from private developer s for a long-term in principal, and directed Mr~ Ao C. Latimer" the schocl board attorney~ in conjunction with the Legal Panel draft the specific local constitutional -amendmento to The a dvantage of this local constitutional amendment would be that school facilities could be provided in a low-cost housing project in the form of xental payments over a term of years, thus alleviating the need of the School Board to construct a school facility at high initial costs, and thus providing the project with necessary community fa c i lit ies o The most oft-used ex cuse in opposition to zoning proper ty f or low- cost housing is that no school f acilities would be available; a n obj e ction which would b e come moot after passage of the constitutional amendment, in that the School Board would lease with little diminution in its bonds' credito Upon completion of the d rafting, t he amendment will then be submitted to the School Board sometime in early 1969, for formal approval so that it can be rea died for the 1970 Legislature and subsequent referendumo As a practical matter, the leas ing arrangements in Urban areas will probably be required to contain an option to purchase vested i n the School Board in that City credit against Federal Funds could only b e al lowed in structures which were a public facility; ac cording to Mr Neil Zi ttrauer, o f the Depar tment of Housing and Urban Development, Re newal Assis t a nce Admini~trationo 0 (2) The Legal Panel, through its Chairman, drafted the Package Zoning Proposal, presented to the Board of Aldermen on August 2, 1968, and assisted in the publ icity surr ounding the presentation of said p r oposa l on August 2, 19680 (3 ) The Legal Pa nel, throu gh its Cha i rman, serv e d on an Ad Hoc Committee , r eview ing t he tota l purposes of t he Committ ee o This Ad Hoc Committee rev i e wed a report of Colonel Jones , dated Febr uary 7, 1968, and made its c omments to the full Housing Resources Committee o (4) Mr o Freema n Hu t t on del i vered a report on the Hous i ng and Urban Development Act of 1 9 68 0 At t he conclusion of the report, Mro Hutton was charged with the res ponsibility of working with Mr o Bill Gates to compile a detailed analysis of the Act and its affect Encl: le �2 on Housing Resources Committee activities.

In close cooperation with the Chamber were Central Atlanta Progress, Inc., key persons of the Mayor' s Housing Resources Committee, and others. It was the intent of the Chamber's Board of Directors, in establishing the corporation, to seek a broad base of leaders1?,ip and financial involvement from throughout the Atlanta business community. Toward this end, a number of the city's leading business citizens have been invited to participate in the funding of the corporation, and there has been gratifying response. The Greater Atlanta Housing Development Corporation will aid sponsors of housing programs in several ways: Interpretation and explanation of programs available under current housing legislation; advisory help and coordination of the development functions, such as assistance in selecting an architect, attorney, engineer, contractor, developer and financial institution for construction loans -- seeking, in each case, those experienced in the type project selected; and helping to arrange and negotiate "seed money" loans for expenses for such services above set out which are incurred before mortgage proceeds become available. These services are being provided through the corporation's Executive Director, who is highly knowledgeable in housing finance, project development and management, judgment of the feasibility of projects, technical aspects of Federal Housing Administration procedures, and communication with the business community and p.eighborhood groups. Arrangement and negotiation of short-term "seed money" loans will result in a reduction of the sponsor's risk and thereby stimulate the construction of sales and rental housing for lower income families and promote rehabilitation of substandard housing. (One prime source of seed money, or 1 ifront end" loans, is to be Atlanta Civic Enterprises, Inc., an organization of ten larger businesses which have created a pool of resources to help solve the local need for housing. Atlanta Civic Enterprises, Inc., is in agreement with the method of approach being undertaken by' the corporation.) The loan fund administered by Atlanta Civic Enterprises fills this need for seed money, which can be loaned at less than the market rate of interest -- with some type of security -and will be generally supplemented to some extent by the non- profit sponsor. It will be a revolving fund, as funds disbursed for the permanent loan are used to repay the seed money, or front end, loans. �/ / Housing Development Corporation - 2 / Cost of operations will initially be provided from the funding support of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and members of the Atlanta business community. However, the corporation is anticipated to become self- sustaining from the fees or other charges for the technical services rendered. Such charges, as a part of the project cost, would be paid from the proceeds of permanent loans. Already, in some FHA projects which have the 100 per cent loan provision, a consultant fee is allowed for inclusion in the cost and payable when mor tgage money is available. The Greater Atlanta Housing Development Corporati on ost ensibly would qualify for such fees in many instances. The housing legislation passed by Congress permits non-profit organizat ions, such as churches, civic organizations, unions and others, to sponsor projects of building or rehabilitating housing for low to moderate income fan1ilies, with loans up to 100 per cent of the costs at interest rates, in some cases, as low as 1 per cent. Despite 100 per cent financing, the initial costs of architect fees, attorney fees, engineering studies, FHA fees, land options and other costs must be paid before mortgage proceeds become available. These front end expenditures can amount to as much as 4 per cent of the total project cost but are reimbursable when mortgage money becomes available. Lack of funds to meet these ·e xpenses often seriously delays or completely rules out projects by non-profit sponsors. Executive Director of the non-profit corporation is Mr. Robert Watkins, formerly owner of Industrial Service Company and with a background in the construction business. Offices of the corporation are located at 2742 First National Bank Building, adjacent to the offices of Central Atlanta Progress, Inc . , which is providing secretarial help as well as office space for the new corporation. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
