The Fune! is the ·first agcn~y of its kind
111
the country authorizecl to fin ance
public schools in combinecl-occu1:iancy structures. Although its purpose is new,
it is a traditio nal form of governm ~nt institution establishecl to fin a nce public

•·
The rapid increase in the number of public benefi t corporations in urban ized
sta tes like New York. during the past twenty years has parall eled the n eecl for
increased capital construction ::;.t costs exceecling liniitations ·on public debt.
Simila rly, New York City.'s fi scal lim itations, toge ther with its need for school
constru ction, generatecl th e crea tion of_the Educational Construction Fund.
The concept was clevelopecl by Lloyd K. Garrison while h e was President of
the Boarc.!_ of Education. H e saw the public benefit corporation as an appropriate
vehicle to serve both the City a nd th e school system. " ' ith a gra nt from the
Tacon ic Foundation to underwrite- research and bill dra fting, he initiated th e
action that subsequentl y " ·on the endorsement· of Governor R ockefeller a nd .
J\fayor Lindsay and th e support of the L egislature during the 1966 session.
The Fune! is h eadecl by the President of th<.: Board of Edu cation wl10 is designa ted by hJ\v :ts Chairman. Four additio nal m embers of th e Boarcl of Educaticn, appointed by the Presidcn, , serve th e Fund during their terms o[ office
on the Boa rd. Fonr tru stees, appoin ted by the i\fayo r, serve term s se t in itia ll y at
two, three, four or five yea rs. T h eir su ccessors will all ~erve for fi ve years.
The present trustees bring to the d irecti on of the Fund's development and

for combined me of these sites, promoting deYeloper interest in undertaking
construction, ancl coordinating with th e Board of Education durin g the desig n

combined-occupancy structures will be appro\'ed b)' th e Board of Education
as well as by th e Funcl, thu s assuring th a t the program directly serves the
school system.
The Fund hopes to a tt ra ct as spo nsors qu alifi ed person s and orga niza tion s
interested in participa tin g m th e program , including community and other
non-profit g roups.
School sites already mrn ecl or b eing acquired by the City will be publicly

devel op ers. In addition to info'rm a ti o n describing th e site, th e Board of Education's r equirem ents for each sch ool will be made availabl e for the preparation
of a proposal.

The developer will h ave full responsibility for th e construction of th e school

subcontrac tors (plumbing; heating, ventilating an cl a ir conditioning; electric

the inform al negot iation usual in priv':.t~ ,rnrk, th e winning bidders will be

of a single construction contract has thu s been preserved by establishing a,

The major ponion of the program. is expected to provide new schools at
liule or no cost to the City. i\Jost residential and commercial structures are
SI a year. Some
.
will even yield a surplus, which can be used for the construction of additional
expected to yield enough income to p ermit_ a school rental of
schools or turn ::"cl over to the City.
Some combined-occupa ncy structures ,rill probably be built to meet the City's
social needs clc'spite their inab ility to produce enoi.1gh income to pay all 0£
the debt service - those providing rnodcrat;-rent housing, for example. In these
instances, school rentals will be no high er than the annual cost of a comparable new school.
The Fund h as been designed for considerable fl exibility in its operations.
Because a wide variety 0£ commel-cial, public, social and residential uses can
be accommod a ted in combined-occupancy buildings, many sections of the City
offer appropria te si tes. Combined use is adaptable to small structures thc1.t
can blend into existing, cohesive communities. Jt is also applicable on a la rge
scale to major redevelopm ent areas, including urban renewal and l\Iodel Cities
projects. It can b ecome on e of tne City's imponant plann ing tools during the
n ext d ecade to create econom ic, social :rnd pl:ys:ca l renewd while carrying
out its prime pu rpose of creating additional sch ools.

P.S. 126 AND HIGHBRIDGE HOUSE — This facility, the first in the
Fund's program, combines an elementary school for 1,411 children with 400
apartments for middle-income families in the Bronx.
THE AGENCY
The Fund is the first agency of its kind in the country authorized to finance
public schools in combined-occupancy structures. Although its purpose Is new,
it is a traditional form of government institution established to finance public
and quasi-public facilities. “
The rapid increase in the number of public benefit corporations in urbanized
states like New York. during the past twenty years has paralleled the need for
increased capital construction at costs exceeding liniitations on public debt.
Similarly, New York City’s fiscal limitations, together with its need for school
construction, generated the creation of the Educational Construction Fund.
The concept was developed by Lloyd K. Garrison while he was President of
the Board of Education. He saw the public benefit corporation as an appropriate
vehicle to serve both the City and the school system. With a grant from the
Taconic Foundation to underwrite research and bill drafting, he initiated the
action that subsequently won the endorsement of Governor Rockefeller and
Mayor Lindsay and the support of the Legislature during the 1966 session.
The Fund is headed by the President of the Board of Education who is des-
ignated by law as Chairman. Four additional members of the Board of Educa-
ticn, appointed by the Presidenr, serve the Fund during their terms of office
on the Board. Four trustees, appointed by the Mayor, serve terms set initially at
two, three, four or five years. Their successors will all serve for five years.
The present trustees bring to the direction of the Fund’s development and
finance operations a combined background in all areas essential to the success
of this new venture—education, housing, labor, commerce and finance.
THE BEVELGPMENT PROGRAN
The Fund is expected to provide a substantial portion of the City’s school
construction program from now on.
Combined-occupancy structures built under this program will be « owned jointly
by the Fund and the developer. The Fund will finance and own the land and
the school. The dev ‘cloper will finance and own the facilities above the school.
The two portions of the combined-occupancy building will be designed and
constructed as a single project.
The Fund's activitics generally start with a site designated by the Board of
Education for a new school. They include developing appropriate concepts
for combined use of these sites, promoting developer interest in undertaking
construction, and coordinating with the Board of Education during the design
and construction of the school. Local School Boards will be consulted, and all
combined-occupancy structures will be approved by the Board of Education
as well as by the Fund, thus assuring that the program directly serves the
school system.
The Fund hopes to attract as sponsors qualified persons and organizations
interested in participating in the program, including community and other
non-profit groups.
School sites already owned or being acquired by the City will be publicly
advertised by the Fund if suitable for the development of combined-occupancy
structures. Proposals for these sites will be invited from potential sponsors and
developers. In addition to information describing the site, the Board of Educa-
tion’s requirements for each school will be made available for the preparation
of a proposal.
Evaluation of the proposals will be based on several criteria, including the
compatibility of the non-school use, the income to be derived therefrom, and
the financial ability and experience of the applicants.
Proposals from potential developers who either own or have a legal interest
in a site may be ‘considered on a negotiated basis. These proposals would have
to mect the same standards of feasibility and developer qualifications as those
received through public invitation. In addition, the Fund may consider, in
rare instances, negotiated proposals from developers who have incurred con-
siderable costs in developing imaginative design or novel use cencepts for a
8 a
combined-occupancy building. In accepting either type of proposal, the Fund
will be governed by the public interest.
Eventually, ownership of the site and the school portion of the combined-
occupancy structure reverts to the City. Air rights to the non-school portion
will be leased or sold to the developer.
The developer will have full responsibility for the construction of the school
as well as the non-schoo! portion of the building. Although the three major
subcontractors (plumbing: heating, ventilating and air conditioning: electric
work) will be selected by public bidding, as required by law, instead of by
the informal negotiation usual in private work, the winning bidders will be
made responsible to the general contractor or developer. The major advantage
of a single construction contract has thus been preserved by establishing a
single responsibility for the timely and satisfactory completion of the work.
The. Fund will sell tax-exempt bonds | and bond anticipation notes to finance
site and construction costs of schools built under its program. The, developer |
will, independently _ finance his. _portion | ‘of the combined: occupancy structure, _
using either conventional or government sources of mortgage, money. |
oe ee
The Fund’s bonds are expected to be highly marketable at a favorable rate
because of an unusual sccurity feature. In addition to a capital reserve fund
to cover debt service for any succecding year on all outstanding bonds, as is
customary for public benefit corporations, the law authorizes a first lien on
State aid to New York City for the support of the public school system. A
call on State aid would be made only in the improbable event that the capital
reserve fund should at some time be insufficient to meet debt service and the
City did not replenish it to the amount required. However, the provision
assures at all times the solvency of the Fund and the security of its bonds.
Debt service on the Fund's notes and bonds will be paid from income.
There will be three sources:
1. Payments for the sale or lease of air rights
The Fund will receive from the developer an annual payment, based on
fair market value, for the sale or lease of the air rights over the school.
2. Payments in liew of taxes
Instead of paying real estate taxes to the City, the developer will make
equivalent payments to the Fund for a period of time not less than the period
of the serial bonds issued to finance site and construction costs of the school.
¥
3. Rentals for the schools
This payment is expected to be nominal for the majority of schools built in
combined-occupancy structures. Whenever the income from the disposition of
air rights and payments equivalent to real estate taxes are sufficient to cover
debt service and the Fund's administrative costs, there will be no need for
additional income. School rentals will be required only for those structures
that cannot make sufficient payments to cover debt service, such as tax-exempt
public facilities and certain kinds of non-profit housing.
The bonds to be issued by the Fund are limited to 40-year maturities, and

trust and insurance companies, banks and fiduciaries.

THE RESULTS
The major portion of the program is expected to provide new schools at
little or no cost to the City. Most residential and commercial structures are
expected to yield enough income to per mit, a school rental of $1 a year. Some
will even yield a surplus, which can be used for the construction of additional
schools or turned over to the City.
Some combined- “occupancy structures will probably be built to meet the City’s
social needs despite their inability to produce enough income to pay all of
the debt service—those providing moderate-rent housing, for example. In these
instances, school rentals will be no higher than the annual cost of a com-
parable new school.
The Fund has been designed for considerable flexibility in its operations.
Because a wide variety of commercial, public, social and residential uses can
be accommodated in combined-occupancy buildings, many sections of the City
offer appropriate sites. Combined use is adaptable to small structures that
can blend into existing, cohesive communities. Jt is also applicable on a large
scale to major redevelopment areas, including urban renewal and Model Cities
projects. It can become one of tne City’s important planning tools during the
next decade to create economic, social and physical renewal while carrying
out its prime purpose of creating additional schools.

Gentlemen:
Enclosed is an information bulletin concerning the New York City Edu-
cational Construction Fund.
As you know the Housing Resources Committee, through its Legal Panel,
has been seeking means to construct schecls under e lease arrangement
simultaneously with the construcitonm of housing. Mr. Archer D. Smith,
Chairman of that panel, has been asked to consult with you concerning
two alternate legislative routes to make this possible. The enclosed
bulletin is still another approach to the problem and appears to have
excellent possibilities in housing projects as well as other fields.
Among the Technical Consultants for the New York Fund is Mr. John Hi.
Muller, Real Estate Advisor, who is a personal friend and business
associate of wine. If you would care to discuss this Fund with hin,
I am sure he will meet with you.
Please give thie approach your consideration. Our Housing Resources
Committee will help in any way that it can.
Sincerely,
A

Dear Mr. Bystry:
Let me congratulate you and your company on being the
first to break ground on a Turnkey Low-income Housing project
in Atlanta. The ground breaking ceremony on May 9, on your
Hollywood Road project has been a distinct stimulus to our
Low-income Housing program and hope to see others started soon,
I notice, however, that your organization has not yet
broken ground on your 220 unit Gilbert Road project.
I wish to encourage and urge you to move as rapidly as
possible in getting construction actually started on this very
important development and its ultimate completion as soon
as possible,
If problems arise which tend to delay this development
and which you are unable to resolve, please call on our
Housing Resources Committee to assist you.
I wish you the best of success in carrying this development
to early completion and I hope to the mutual benefit of both
your organization and the City of Atlanta.

THE P URPOSE
The New York City Educational Construction Fund was created to carry out
a new program of urban development, the construction of elementary and
secondary public schools in combined-occupancy buildings. The Fund is a public
benefit corporation, a State-authorized, self-supporting institution most com-
monly called an authority, established to finance the construction of public
schools for the City of New York. It is governed by nine unsalaried trustecs,
five of whom are members of the Board of Education. Ce
The program is intended to achieve three objectives:
1. Maximum use of land
Construction sites are becoming increasingly scarce in the City. Those that
remain must be used with maximum effectivencss. To enable new schools to
be built in conjunction with other facilities, the Educational Construction
Fund has been given as its principal purpose “the timely and responsive provi-
sion of such combined-occupancy structures in accordance with the foreseeable
needs of the City of New York...” (Statement of legislative findings and pur-
poses, Article 10, Education Law)
\
2. Financing outside the City" f capital budget
The saad ie a massive school construction program has developed at the
same time as many other demands for capital improvements. The Fund is a
new source of financing outside the City’s capital budget for a substantial
school construction program. Its operations will increase the rate at which new
schools can be built. In addition, the Fund will provide the public school
system with additional schools that could not be built under the City’ s debt limit. ;
3. Reinforced economic and social vitality
Combined-occupancy structures will provide néw schools in several kinds of
settings. In commercial areas, specialized high school programs, such as the
co-op program offering experience training together with skills training, could
train the highly-skilled graduates required by the business community. In
residential areas, schools and housing in the same structures should foster a
more cohesive neighborhood life. Some areas—such as those scheduled for ex-
tensive redevelopment—might well lend themselves to any coribdination of fa-
cilities such as child care and Head Start centers, commercial facilities, moderate-
income housing and a school.

HOUSTNG RESOURCHS COMMITTEE
Report Required by Mayor's Directive of March 19, 1968
on "U.S. Riot Commission Report
HOUSING
The entire report is quite comprehensive and well done. The Committee
deserves credit for so thoroughly analyzing and developing such a -comprehen-
sive report on such an involved and explosive matter.
In general the report has ‘signaled out and effectively treated many of
the major issues involved. Little fault can be found with its principal
findings and recommendations.
However, the report basically places all responsibility for the riots on
the White Cornmunity and fails to place any responsibility on the participants
in the Riots for the wanton destruction and other crimes which they cormitted.
This omission is unfortunate as $+ ‘could result in a feeling among future
potential rioters that such procedure is condoned. This possidility should
o
not be overlooked Nationally and locally in attempting to deal with this
xplosive situation and prevent future riots. )
The report recommends and calls for drastic actions on the part of Federal,
tate, and Lota covernnents as ell as ‘Ihite Communities for specific actions
to correct unsatisfactor); conditions as a deterrent in preventing future riots.
It fails however to call for or place upon the dissident octunants of slum areas
any constructive efforts which they themselves should take to improve their
conditions.
Of the special reconmendations contained in Chanter 10 of the report, it
appears that corrective measures for all of them are adequately dealt with in
the Mayor's March 19 Directive, with the possible exception of "Expanded Lezal
Service to the Poor". Additional corrective responsibility in this field might
be assigned to the local Bar Associations. |
The need for correcting or improving unsatisfactory conditions in the slums
of our cities, one of the foremost of which is housing, is well documented and
in veneral the remedies prooosed and recommendations made are sound and apoear
adequate, if carried out on the local level.
With respect tao-Chaster 17 which deals specifically with provosed corrective
measures,.some basic considerations in the housing field appear to have been over~=
Looked or at least they are not specifically broucht out in the revort. Brief
comment on some of these, as they affect the local housing situation in Atlanta,
e
follows.
Three basic factors are currently denoralising future urogress in local
low-income housing construction in Atlanta:
First, is the local opposition to multi-family housing, particularly
Public Housing. Progress must be made in facilitating rezoning of necessary
sites to meet Atlanta's low-income housing needs, if adequate progress is to
be continued in this important field. 5s
- Second, the existing Federal policy of dis cowragtng approval on sites for
Public Housing in racially identifiable areas is hindering progress of the
progran and preventing the construction of many wits that are badly needed for
the lowest income families. : |
Third, the legal prohibition against 221 d (3) Federally assisted projects
being built in governmental entities (such: as neigtbertay counties which do not
have approved Workable Programs) is defeating the purpose of the Low-income
Housing Prozram and is placing undue hardship for providing such nanatie on cormunities
which do have Workable Prozrams. The current policy automatically excludes those
areas which have the most available land and where the housing is most needed
(near newly located industrial establishments where the occupants could be
profitably emploved). This Committee recommends that special effort be made to
overcome each of ‘the Shans indicated obstacles.
The recormendation contained in the report that Public Housing be more flexible
in both design and types of units (including toimhouses, duplexes and even single
family houses) as well as distribution on smaller scattered sites, is very worthy
of encouragement, in order to zet avay from the institutional imaze of Public
Housing. In fact it would be very helpful if the Housing Authority would eliminate
all of its signs at the entrances to projects advertizing to the public in effect
that "this is a low rent Federally subsidized housing project".
Emphasis in the report on application of the Housing Code in substandard and
depressed areas is ver, appropriate, however the feature that could be most effective,
and which has been most nezlected in Atlanta, is not mentioned; that is tenant
responsibility. This should and must be stressed continously, in order to get
more effective results fromthe Housing Code,
All #£OA Neighborhood Centers should vromote classes in housekeeping and
property maintenance by occupants of rental housing. Instruction in this field
should be instituted, perhaps at night, to which classes the Housing Court could
sentence skeet offenders to attend a prescribed number of sessions, in lieu of
monetary fines or jail sentences for code violations, in a similar manner to the
procedure now being practiced in Traffic Court of sentencing minor offenders to
attend sessions in Traffic School.
The cleanup of premises, effecting commercial and industrial, as well as
residential properties, is another important factor in improving the ghettos.
The condition of premises should go hand in hand with Housing Code enforcement,
“whether it is directed by the Sanitary Department or the Housing Code Inspectors,
t is quite futile to improve the living conditions of a dwelling unit and not
require the immediate premises and surrounding areas to be cleaned up and kept
clean, especially in the ghattos. Similarly, it is useless to improve a residential
property and leave the commercial or industrial propérties’ in the same vicinity in
a disgraceful and disreputable condition.
Atlanta needs badly a Commercial and Industrial Code, just as it has a Housing
Code. Some of the more progressive cities have such ccdes today, The enabling
legislation recently adopted which authorized Atlenta's "In Rem" Ordinance
providing for moving directly apetinnd dilapidated residential proverties instead of,
in i traditional manner, against the owners, for violation of the Housing Code,
also authorizes such action against’ poorly maintained commercial and industrial
Sh rss ea All that is needed is a local implementing Ordinance.
In order to provide and encourage much desired home ownership among low-income
.
families, a special sinsle family zoning district should be adopted which would
permit construction of sinzle family homes of 720 square feet or larser on lots
having a ere of £,000 square feet, with a minimum frontzaze of 50', This
would provide ample area for low-income sinzle famil:; houses and would provide
increase in the density by 0% and reduce the cost of lots by 33 1/3% from that now
authorized by the current applicable 2-5 single family residential zoning district,
It is sesipettiel that some new low-income develooment be iniated as soon as
possible this summer in the Model Cities area, by selecting at least one limited
area (perhaps four city blocks) in the heart of the most dilapidated portion of the
area and obtaining authority from the Federal governm-nt to acquire the land through
an advance acquisition process, similar to the manner in which land for the Audi-
torium and Civic Center res acquired, anc turning it over to the Housing Authority,
or through expedited sale to private entervrise to:develop.
It is also recommended that iniation of decclouncnt of at ean os vortion of
ea
the Federal Prison site be exoedited for starting construction this summer of low-
—
incorne housing by private enterprise.
