May 13, 1969 HOUSING RESOURCES COMMITTEE Report COMPLAINT On April 18, Mr. Albert N. Cowan made the following complaint to this office. His brother, Robert H. Cowan, of Jacksonville, Florida, owns a residential structure (Cowan Family .Home) located at 1043 Stewart Avenue, s.w., in the Adair Park portion of Model Cities area; that Robert H. Cowan was required by the City of Atlanta (Building Department Housing Code Division) during 1967 to bring this structure up to Housing Code standards and spent $6,600 on the project; that the work was done by a Mr. G. J. Carruth, a White Minister, who also professed to be a Contractor. Mr. Cowan continued that recently bis brother was called into the Housing Authority Reha bilitation Office at 530 McDaniel Street , S.W. and told that additional work needs to be done on his house which will cost an additional estimated $7, 000; that he may obtain a 3% direct Federal loan with up to a 20-year mortgage and has 60 days in which to comply. Mr . Albert Cowan also said that his brother is 76 years old and does not want to place a new 20-year mortgage on this property, even if it is at 3% interest. (Estimated cost is approximately $5.55 per. month, per $1,000 ) ; that he lets his sister, Miss Pearl Cowan, live there free and Miss Pearl Cowan rents rooms (I understand as a livelihood which is her principal source of income and support); that the house is liveable and basically sound; that no major damage or vandalism has occurred to the property since it was brought up �-2- to Housing Code standards by the City in 1967; that the owner, Robert H. Cowan, is willing to make additional minor repairs occassioned by fair, wear and tear during the past 2 years, but does not feel that he should be required to spend now an additional $7,000, after having spent $6,600 in 1967 to meet City requirements, which were designated, inspected and work accepted by the City's official representatives. FINDINGS Check with the Housing Code Division reveals that on February 9, 1967, a Housing Code case was initiated against this property in connection with a house-by-house inspection in a designated concentrated Housing Code Enforcement area; that a building permit for repair of this structure was taken out 4-24-67 by G. J. Carruth, Contractor, in amount of $4,100; that the work was complied 6-9-67 by the Housing Code Division and certificate issued for 3 units, with existing facilities (copy of Housing Code record attached, Encl. 1). Mr. Cowan maintains that his brother paid $6,600 to the contractor and presumes that the extra $2,500 above permit cost was the contractor's profit . He also states that the contractor procured floor tile for one of the rooms but did not install it, which he promised to do later, but never did. Check with the Housing Authority Rehabilitation Office for Model Cities at 530 McDaniel Street, s.w., reveals that on Apr il 22, 1969, that office issued Mr. Robe rt H. Cowan an itemized list of "Violations" which also stated that all work to be done shall comply with specifications set forth in "Invitations to Bid" and .. Minimum Property Standards for Urban Renewal Rehabilitation" and that the property be reduced to two units (copy attached, Enclo 2). �-3The Housing Authority Inspector's estimate of the cost of this work was originally $7,000 but was later reduced to $6,000 as result of conference between the owner and inspector. This is essentially what has happened: A. Model Cities has designated this portion of the Adair Park area for rehabilitation in 1969, although it was included in a concentrated Housing Code Enforcement program conducted in the same area on a house-by-house basis in 1967. B. Model Cities has accepted Urban Renewal Project Rehabil::itation Standards, essentially as used in West End, i.e., "Property Rehabilitation Standards, Model Cities Urban Renewal Redevelopment Area", based on HUD Pamphl e t PG-50, " Rehabilitation Guide for Res idential Pr operties ". These Urban Renewal Rehabilitation standa r ds wer e prepared by the HUD Regional Sta f f . C. The HUD Gu i d e is r e a sonable a nd p ermits consid er able f lexibility in local applic at ion. Howev er, the st a nd ard s p r epar ed by the Housing Authority and appr oved by HUD includ e • considerable local interpretation of the HUD Guide and, as was explained to me by the Housing Authority Rehabilitation Inspector, are intended to essentially �-4rebuild properties, rather than just repair them, and is designed to place them in essentially new house condition, presumably free from additional maintena,n ce for the next 15 years, thus placing them in . a category very similar to housing rebuilt for resale under the FHA 221 (h) program. D. No consideration has been given to the City's previous rehabilitation efforts in this area under the Housing Code. Zoning requirements for the area have been taken literally from the Zoning Map, with no allowances made for previously approved use of specific structures. E. No consideration is given to legal non-conforming uses in the area, authorized by the Zoning Ordinance. F. Although most of the Model Cities' requirements are reasonable and would be desirable if no other improvement efforts bad been made on the property recently, some of the requirements however appear impractical, particularly for rental property. Examples in this particular case are: 1. Requiring resanding and refinishing of perfectly solid wooden floors throughout. 2. Removal of good fencing, desired to be retained by the owner as a means of protection. �-53. Removal of serviceable electric switch in hallway entrance to the bathroom and re-installing same switch inside the bathroom. COMMENT The Model Cities Rehabilitation Standards as such, are unenforceable. If owners fail to comply voluntarily , the Housing Authority has no other course open than to turn the case over tb the City to effect compliance. At this point (and this is quite important) the City will require, and the Courts will enforce, only complicance with the City of Atlanta's Housing Code. This is one reason why on October 18, 1968, in Memorandum to Mayor Allen I recommended: "That rehabilitation in the Model Cities area be accomplished by the City, rather than by the Housing Authority, utilizing both the City and Housing Authority Inspectors. This is believed to be the most feasible procedure in view of the extent of current trained staffs available and should produce the fastest results • • • • • That the Hous.ng Code standards be recommended for use as the Rehabil i tation Standards in the Model Cities area e • •" Also o n October 31 , 1968, in Memorandum to the Director of Model Cities , I s t a ted: "Also, I feel v er y s t r o ng ly t h at o ne s et o f r ehabi lit at ion standards only f o r t he entire Mode l Cities shou l d b e es t ablished for execution by both the Housing Authority and the Ci ty; and that initial notices to property owners to rehabilitate their dwellings to meet �-6- required standards should be issued in the name of the City of Atlanta, regardless of who or under whose jurisdiction the actual processing and execution is accomplished. This is to provide the legal require- ments necessary to invoke the Police Powers of the City, if necessary, at a later date to insure compliance. This -will avoid encountering extensive time delays later and costly repetition of efforts in processing rehabilitation notices originally issued by the Housing Authority Inspectors, but which may eventually have to be turned over to the City to enforce in order to obtain compliance ••••" Comparison of Federal Pamphlet PG-50 "Rehabilitation Guide for Residential Properties" and the City Housing Code standards reveals that they are quite similar and not sufficiently far apart to justify two sets of standards for rehabilitation of residential properties within the same area, simultaneous or in quick succession, as in this instance. · However, two sets of standards do currently exist and probably won't be changed now, in view of HUD's · already approval of the Urban Renewal.Rehabilitation standards. In general, little fault can be found with the Urban Renewal Rehabilitation requirements, and the procedure for effecting them provides assistance and controls which are definitely helpful. See'General Conditions - Bids and Proposal - Construction Contract" (Encl. 3). Therefore adoption of proposed procedure by the City in the Model Cities area appears appropriate and desirable, in fairness to . property owners, while at the same time attempting to meet the objectives of Model Cities for improvements " above and beyond" required Housing Code standards. �-7- EFFECTS AND RE SULTS A tour of the Adair Park Neighborhood (Stewart Avenue West), where the City Housing Code was enforced on a house-by-house basis just t wo years ago, reveals a very neat an~ well-kept neighborhood. With fe w exceptions, this area is definitely a credit to the Housing Code Enforcement efforts and to the City of Atlanta in general. If all of Atlanta was in as good condition of maintenance and general up-keep as this area is now, there would be no problem. There are probably several hundred decent, safe and sanitary residential structures in this general area in good sound livable condition that are, or will be, effected in a very similar manner to Mr. Cowan's property. Wi t h all of the much worse housing in so many portions o f the Mod el Ci ties area, which badly needs r ehabili t a t ion, i t is unfor t u n at e that a p o r t i o n o f this exc el lent a re a whic h was jus t brought u p t o Housing Code requirements wi thin t he p a st tw o years, h a s been selec ted for Urban Renewal Rehabili t ati o n during 1 969. This see ms a misuse of effort and waste of money, both p ri v a t e a nd pub l i c . I f the City is to have the support of property owners in a n y ne i ghbor hood, and this it must have for suc c ess of rehabilitation eff o rts , thes e people, their pocketbooks and pre vious improvement efforts must be g iv en app ropr iat e consideration . PROPOSED PROCEDURE A. That owners in the Model Cities rehabilitation areas be informed of Model Cities s t andards and provided with lists of specific improv ements needed to meet these standards. Also that they be advised of the special benefits and free services such as 3% interest, 20- year mortgage rehabilitation �-8- loan, free architectural advice, competent direct supervision over work being done and -withholding payment to the contractors until work has been completed and accepted as satisfactory; and to offer these benefits to the owners if they wish to take idvantage of them. B. At the same time however, inform the owners that all of these improvements, although desirable, are not mandatory or enforceable, but that the Housing Code requirements are. C. Then give each owner .the opportunity to decide which course he desires to follow. Unless this is done openingly and above board, many property owners, through ignorance of the law and or fear of getting entangled with City Hall, will commit themselves to larger expenditures than are necessary or that they desire or are financially able to carry out, thus envoking actual hardship. While the rebuilding concept, as opposed to repair, is costly to the property owners in Adair Park, which is basically a substantial upper-middle cla ss neighborhood where most of the structures are basically sound and well-kept, the current policy will be particularly costly and difficult for the less affluent property owners in areas such as Summerhill , Mechanicsvi lle and Pittsburgh where the structures are poorer built initially and in much worse state of maintenance. This proposed procedure has been discussed with, and would have the support of, the Chief Housing Code Inspector, Building Department and the Supervisor, Housing Authority, Model Cities Rehabilitation �-9- Office, 530 McDaniel Street, S.W. Unless procedure substantially as indicated above is adopted, the entire rehabilitation effort in the Model Cities area is very l~kely to eventually result as a serious detriment to success of the program and to the goodwill and support of the housing improvement programs of the City in general and of Model Cities area in particular. RECOMMENDATION Therefore, I recommend and strongly urge that the above indicated procedure be adopted in this particular case and in similar situations in all NDP areas, in fairness and justice to all concerned.

Our next meeting will be held Thursday, June 12, in Committee Room 2, Second Floor, City Hall at 10:30 A.M. Special tasks have already been assigned to three of our working Panels and I anticipate making specific assignments to the remaining Panels at our June meeting. The national trend toward production of low-income housing in the near future, as currently being emphasized by the Nixon Administration, is mass production of prefabricated or modular housing to reduce the costs of components and the overall structure, as well as cut down on construction time. I hope that each of you will keep Atlanta's future housing needs in the forefront of your day- to-day activities and deliberations and will not hesitate to advise your Panel Chairman or myself of a ny thoughts or ideas which you may have for improving our housing program and ways and means for reducing costs to the ultimate consumer. Please circle June 12 on your calendar and plan to attend and participate in discussion with us on that date and give us the benefit of your ideas. A self-addressed return postal card is enclosed for your convenience in letting us know whether you plan to attend. Sincerely, Cecil A.

Please circle June 12 on your calendar and plan to attend and participate in discussion with us on that date and give us the benefit of your ideas. A self-addressed return postal card is enclosed for your convenience in letting us know whether you plan to attend. Sincerely, Cecil A.

Watkins, Executive Director Greater Atlanta Housing Development Corporation First National Bank Building Suite 2742 Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Bob: I have recently bee®approached by a substantial developer, interested in obtaining land in the Model Cities area for construction of sales Town Houses, and who wants to get start- ed as soon as possible (preferably this year). He wants to know if the Greater Atlanta Housing Development Corporation, a quasi official organization, could procure land in Model Cities direct from the Housing Authority by negotiation, in lieu of compeditive bidding, and then resell the land to such developer for construction of low-income housing either for profit or nonprofit. The reason for desiring this is three fold: i.e., (1) to save time and avoid complicated red tape; (2) to be assured of getting the particular tract(s) desired; and (3) to get them at a reasonable price which will justify construction of low-income housing. The Developer is willing to purchase direct from current owners, but does not feel this is feasible, due to multiple ownerships and no power of eminent domain. I feel quite sure that the developer would be willing to employ indigenous labor from the area, as much as possible, in actual construction of the housing. There is some precedence’for purchase of Urban Renewal land in Georgia by quasi official organizations through negotiation; for example, the colleges and universities and certain religious organizations. Mr. Robert C. Watkins May 30, 1969 Page Two I believe that this is essentially what was done in Chicago by the Chicago Dwelling pameeoennn® working through the Housing Authority there. As you know, one of the anticipated and much needed functions of the Greater Atlanta Housing Development Corporation | was to buy and bank land for resale to developers as needed at no profit, Suggest you explore this possibility with the local Housing Authority and advise me of what you find out.

Riggs Director of Graduate Studies in Speech Chairman, Poverty Study Committee Memphis State University School of Arts and Sciences Memphis, Tennessee 38111 Dear Mr. Riggs: Your letter of May 29, 1969, to Mayor Allen, expressing your interest in hunger, medical care and housing as well as procedures and actions taken by Atlanta in getting Federal grants, has been turned over to me for reply. To begin with, let me say that Mayor Allen recognized early the importance of Federal funds in solving many of our’ ‘local problems and the necessity for designating some one to ferret out the requirements, applicable programs and regulations pertaining to Federal assistance in the various fields and in coordinating efforts in obtaining such assistance. So, in April 1966 Mr. Dan E. Sweat, Jr., then Associate Administrator for Administration, Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc., was employed for this purpose and appointed Director of ‘Governmental Liaison in the Mayor's office. His work in this capacity has been tremendous and as 2 result, Atlanta has been very fortunate in securing allocations of Federal funds both in grants and in funding of joint Federal~City participation projects. Rather than attempt to spell out details pertaining to the many Federal participation programs in which Atlanta is engaged, enclosed are several comprehensive documents which explain quite fully Atlanta's approaches and accomplishments in this effort. Two of these sre: Coordinating Federal Aid in Atlanta, experience report 107 City Hell and Neighborhood Residents the Atlanta Approach, experience report 110 el Mr. Joseph H. Riggs June 4, 1969 Page Two Both of these documents have been published and widely distributed by the Community Relations Service, U.8S. Conference of Mayors. In addition, I am enclosing copy of a recent address by Mr. Sweat at the University of Kansas and an updated document prepared by EOA in Atlanta (a directory of EOA programs). Both of these documents provide considerable background information and material on Atlanta's programs. A data sheet pertaining to Atlanta's Commodity Foods Distribution Center and the activities resulting from this facility is also enclosed for your information. It provides a reasonable picture of local efforts being made in food distribution to the poor and needy. With respect to low-income housing, I refer you first to the comment on "The Mayor's Housing Resources Program" contained in Mr. Sweat's University of Kansas address (copy enclosed; see Page Ten). In addition, I am enclosing the following documents pertaining to Atlanta’s current low and moderate income housing program: Mayor Allen's Address at the Mayor's Housing Conference, November 15, 1966 Announcement of Appointments, same time Functions of the Housing Resources Committee Membership List and Organization of the Housing Resources Committee Minutes of Second Annual Meeting, HRC, December 12, 1968 Summary - Status of Accelerated Low- Income Housing Program, January 15, 1969 I trust that the enclosed material is adequate and will be helpful to you in your work in Memphis.

The Planning Department was attempting to get the two Aldermanic Committees to indicate how far the 1970 NDP Program should go and specifically whether Lightning, Plunkettown and possibly other areas should be included; and if so, what provisions the City proposes to make to support the program financially. I threw a bomb shell into the discussion by stating that the HRC proposes to support the incliusicn of both Lightning and Plunkettown in the NDP application, for execution in 1970, Both the Planning Department and Housing Authority representatives appeared horrified and at first said that I must mean "for planning purposes only" in 1970; and that the first year should be for planning only for execution to start the following year. When I insisted that I meant for planning and execution both to take place, or at least start, in 1970 they finally admitted that this is possible, if the staffs are made large enough. There is no good reason that I can see why Plunkettown and Lightning should require a year for planning only, especially since a Feasibility Study at the cost of some $15,000 has already been conducted by the Planning Department in Lightning. \1f the plans are kept simple, as they should be, I can see no reason for waiting another full year before going into execution on either area.  Mr. Cecil A.

This information is then passed on to a large · body of community organizations and leaders.':-t hrough "The Renewer", the officiaJ newsletter of CACUR. The July 19.68, newsletter related comments by Cecil Alexander, Housing Resources Committee Chairman to CACUR· Executive Committee, pointing out .t hat a "Real Need for Low Income Housing is Seen in All Sections of Atlanta .• " (~ontinued on page 18a.) (b) Describe the type of groups (e.g. civic, neighborhood, hous ing) that are participating, and the constituency represented (e.g. poor, middle-class, ~egro, public hous ing residents).

(Continued on page lSb.) · 0 18 - �r 1 (Continued from 1. (a) on page 18) Secondly, CACUR members act a s p r o gra m ana lysts by reviewing and commenting on many of the existing a nd new progra ms which are of interest to the Committee and the communi t y as a whole. Feedback from the Committee to the City of Atlanta, Atlanta Housing Authority and responsible federal agencies p r ovides an e x cellent opportunity for these agencies to "feel the pulse" of the community. The third function of CACUR which is of particular interest here is citizen participa tio n . This function is overlapping in that it is the one function universally inhe r ent in all committee efforts. Recently, during an Aldermanic Planning and Development Committee meeting, one Alderman pointed out a "stalemate" situation in the citizen p a rticipation aspects of the NA SH-BANS (Vine City) nei g hborhood. The CACUR Director volunteered the services of CACUR to help wi t h t hat probJem by establishing an associate advisory committee, as had been done in t wo past u r b a n ren·e wal projectsa Since that time, CACUR members, especially President · Noah Langdale, Jr., have worked diligently to contribute to the develop ment of the PAC Committee in Vine City. These are but three major functions of CACUR producing a host of activit i es related to the effective planning and development of a Work able Program and public and private housing program aimed at creating a viable community. a. b. c.

(5) Urban Observatory The January 1, 1969 issue of the Atlanta Journal referred to the Urban Observatory with headline reading"Atlanta: aiggest College Lab in Georgia". That headline succinctly sums up the concept of the Urban Observatory. The basic purpose of the Urban Observatory in Atlanta is (Continued on page 18b.) - 18a- 1 �(Continued from 1. (a) on page 18a.) to liberate the academic resources of the city so that they may study and analyze urban problems in such a way that their work can be of direct value to the public officials of the metropolitan area. The Observatory is designed to foster a partnership between the public officials of the metropolitan area, especially the Mayor of Atlanta, and local colleges and universities. This kind of a partnership can provide a tremendous potential to meet the serious problems of Atlanta with innovative and practical approaches to solutions. The guidance for the Urban Observatory will come from an advisory council which is made up of public officials representing the various governments in the metropolitan area. This council will be especially responsible for the progress of the Observatory. The two major administrative positions in the Observatory organization consist of the Director of the Urban Observatory to be housed in the Urban Life Department at Georgia State College, and City Urban Observatory Coordinator to be hous.ed in the office of the Mayor of Atlanta. One of the basic functional aspects of the Urban Observatory concept is research. Two priority research and development programs for the Observatory during its first year of operation will be housin g and citizen participation in community projects. It was the opinion of those responsible for the operation of the Observatories, located in six cities throughout the United States, that citizen participation is a key issue in the development of sound co~munity rehabilitation programs. The research for the Observatory will be conducted by the faculties of the participating schools. Inter-university research teams, interdisciplinary in makeup, will use dynamic data banks to facilitate and expedite their research. The Observatory concept may well be the key to unlock that door which has too long held back insights into the solution of major urban problems.

In zoning matters pertaining to many HUD assisted programs and projects the majority voice of citizens of the area is normally adhered to, so much so that rezoning to accomodate HUD assisted housing projects has been severly curtailed, to the extent of seriously threatening a ccomplishments of the low income housing program, to meet current and future needs.

The Workable Program requires clear evidence that the community provides and continues to e expand, opportunities for citizens, especially those who are poor and members of minority groups, to participate in all phases of the related HUD-assisted renewal and housing pro- grams. The particular organizational means for community involvement is left to the disere- tion of cach community, but the community must demonstrate in its Workable Program submis- .sion that it provides clear and direct access to decision making, relevant and timely informa- tion, and necessary technical assistance to participating groups and individuals in programs covered. : 1. (a) Identify the groups participating in the HUD-agsisted programs related to the Workable Program and in the community’s program to expand the supply of low- and moderate-income housing. (1) Citizens Advisory Committee for Urban Renewal (Encl. 1) There are three major functions of the Citizen's Advisory Committee for Urban Renewal which are directly related to Atlanta's Workable Program and to the community's program to expand the supply of low and moderate income housing: 1 ao dont The first of these three functions, informational services, constitutes a dynamic informational clearinghouse operation based on the receipt of general and technical information from various speakers at CACUR meetings. This information is then passed on to a large’ body of community organizations and leaders ‘through "The Renewer", the officia: newSletter of CACUR. The July 1968, newSletter related comments by Cecil Alexander, Housing Resources Committee Chairman to CACUR Executive Committee, pointing out that a "Real Need for Low Income Housing is Seen in All Sections of Atlanta." (Continued on page 18a.) am (b) Describe the type of groups (e.g. civic, neighborhood, housing) that are participating, and the constit- uency represented (e.g. poor, middle-class, Negro, public housing residents). Re 1 (a) above. (1) Generally selected from prominent leading citizens in Atlanta, both White and Negro, in business, education, religious and civic fields. U. R. Project Committees - appointed by the Housing Authority from residents, property owners and businessmen of the area. PAC Committee - Residents of area, both White and Negro, elected by citizens of the particular area. i ; West End Businessmen's Association - Composed of prominent businessmen in South-West Atlanta (mostly White) interested primarily in the future of the West End Urban Renewal Project, (Continued on page 18b.) © 18- (Continued from 1. (a) on page 18) Secondly, CACUR members act as program analysts by reviewing and commenting on many of the existing and new programs which are of interest to the Committee and the community as a whole. Feedback from the Committee to the City of Atlanta, Atlanta Housing Authority and responsible federal agencies provides an excellent opportunity for these agencies to "feel the pulse” of the community. The third function of CACUR which is of particular interest here is citizen participation. This function is overlapping in that it is the one function universally inherent in all committee efforts. Recently, during an Aldermanic Planning and Development Committee meeting, one Alderman pointed out a "stalemate" situation in the citizen participation aspects of the NASH-BANS (Vine City) neighborhood. The CACUR Director volunteered the services of CACUR to help with that problem by establish- ing an associate advisory committee, as had been done in two past urban renewal projects. Since that time, CACUR members, especially President: Noah Langdale, Jr., have worked diligently to contribute to the develop-~- ment of the PAC Committee in Vine City. These are but three major functions of CACUR producing a host of activities related to the effect- ive planning and development of a Workable Program and public and private housing program aimed at creating a viable community. a. Project Committee for each Urban Renewal Project b. PAC Committee for each NDP area c. West End Businessmen's Association (Each of these has a designated representative for liaison with CACUR.) (2) Housing Resources Committee - Mayor's Office (Encl. 2) With eight Working Panels (Subcommittees) The HRC is charged with promoting and coordinating the Low-income Housing Program within the City Limits of Atlanta. It is not a planning agency. For specific Functions of HRC, see attached. (Encl. 3) The members all serve without compensation, (3) Model Cities Executive Board (Consists of 7 members appointed by the Mayor, including 2 members of the Board of Aldermen, and a_. representative elected by the citizens in each of the six Model Cities Neighborhoods; Mayor is Chairman) (Encl. 4) Six Neighborhood Committees elected by citizens of each Neighborhood in the Model Cities area. (4) Public Housing Project Committees - selected by residents from residents of each major Pubiic Housing Project. (5) Urban Observatory The January 1, 1969 issue of the Atlanta Journal referred to the Urban Observatory with headline reading "Atlanta: Biggest College Lab in Georgia". That headline succinctly sums up the concept of the Urban Observatory. The basic purpose of the Urban Observatory in Atlanta is (Continued on page 18b.) =-18a- (Continued from 1. (a) on page 18a.) to liberate the academic resources of the city so that they may study and analyze urban problems in such a way that their work can be of direct value to the public officials of the metropolitan area. The Observatory is designed to foster a partnership between the public officials of the metropolitan area, especially the Mayor of Atlanta, and local colleges and universities. This kind of a partnership can provide a tremendous potential to meet the serious problems of Atlanta with innovative and practical approaches to solutions. The guidance for the Urban Observatory will come from an advisory council which is made up of public officials representing the various governments in the metropolitan area. This council will be especially responsible for the progress of the Observatory. The two major administrative positions in the Observatory organization consist of the Director of the Urban Observatory to be housed in the Urban Life Department at Georgia State College, and City Urban Observatory Coordinator to be housed in the office of the Mayor of Atlanta. One oi the baSic functional aspects of the Urban Observatory concept is research. Two priority research and development programs for the Observatory during its first year of operation will be housing and citizen participation in community projects. It was the opinion of those responsible for the operation of the Observatories, located in six cities throughout the United States, that citizen participation is a key issue in the development of sound community rehabilitation programs. The research - for the Observatory will be conducted by the faculties of the participat- ing schools. Inter-university research teams, interdisciplinary in makeup, will use dynamic data banks to facilitate and expedite their research, The ObServatory concept may well be the key to unlock that door which has too long held back insights into the solution of major urban problems, (Continued from 1 (b) on page 18) (2) Nominated by Chairman and Co-Chairmen (and appointed by the Mayor) primarily from leaders in the Community (approximately 50-50 White and Negro) who have exhibited talents for and interest in the functions of the particular Panel on which they serve, (3) Explained in 1 (a), (3) above, (4) Explained in 1 (a), (4) above. -18b- RUD-108) (11-68) (c) Describe what particular []UD-assisted programs and projects such groups are participating in.

Nominating committees are usually appointed and subsequent meetings held to elect representatives. In some instances, such aS Model Cities, ' regular conventions have been held. In other areas for example, Vine City, coordination and progress has been virtually impossible until most recently, due to disruptive practices of habitual protestors, some of whom reside outside the area, but who have deliberately tried to disrupt all meetings and prohibit any progress. - 219 -: HUD-1081 , (11-68) 2. Describe the arrangements or working relationships set up to provide groups and individuals opportunities for access to and participation in decision-making in the applicable HUD-assisted programs. Public Meetings, Public Hearings, Civic Association and Service Club meetings are announced, publicized and advertised, when required by law. Any citizen may be heard and all are encouraged to attend meetings and make their views known. Inclusion of neighborhood selected representatives in project committees, Refusal of. City officials to establish policies and make decisions without: first giving local residents an opportunity to be heard and to participate in matters which are of general interest to them. Attendance of appropriate knowledgeable City representatives at such meetings. The Housing Authority Commission members have been holding meetings at night in respective Public Housing projects to hear com- ‘plaints and recommendations of Public Housing residents for improving morale and participating in policy making in administration of Public Housing projects. (Continued on page 20a.) 3. Describe the steps which have been taken in regard to the applicable programs to provide particlpaling groups and individuals sufficient information and technical assistance. Repeat meetings in all affected areas; explanations’by... competent representatives of appropriate City Departments to neigh- borhood residents, civic groups and service clubs serving the areas affected and inviting their ideas, suggestions and active participation. Typical example of efforts being made to provide information and technical assistance through the local PAC ‘orgranization is illustrated in attached pamphlets, "Edgewood in Aé€tion" and "Bedford-Pine Community NewSletter" (Encl. 6). Typical efforts being made to inform other interested groups on Urban Renewal, through special tours and presentations, is illustrated by attached communication, (Encl. a) In addition, the full membership of the Citizens Advteesy Committee for Urban Renewal meets quarterly and the Executive Committee meets monthly and as needed to review the overall Urban Renewal (Continued on page 20a.) 4.

Jones' analysis of the draft position paper establishing the National Urban Coalition's role in housing and added the following recommendations: 1. Greater emphasis should be placed on producing single-family or condominium houses for the middle-income Negroes, These to be in the price range of $20,000.00 to $30,000,00, 2. The major thrust should be for home ownership rather than rental housing. 3. City Governments should cause the necessary steps to be taken to qualify their citizens, who are not in an Urban Renewal area, for grants and/or loans (Sec. 312) to rehabilitate houses thet are now below code requirements, and where the owners have insufficient resources to make the necessary repairs. a Mr. John W.
