Harrig moves to lectern, following close of his introduction by Mr. Dan Sweat of the Mayor's office) I am pleased to hear our business, and business nationally praised for leadership in a new, promising venture combining the resources of government and business. Of all the cities selected for this exhibit, I believe Atianta has the greatest familiarity with the problems and one of the greatest records of progress in solving them. The problem is the reclamation of promising young people, giving them hope for success in this world and the training te support their dreams. The means to this goal, and it's only one of the avenues being created through business men, is Job Corps. This exhibit is a graphic report of progress and aspirations -- not simply another purely artistic photographic display. This, in effect, is “art to learn from" and the entire focus ie on education, for education looms as the factor most essential to tomorrow's forward thrust and the sense of responsibility that must be revived in America. H8ducation ia the only way to bring new, deserving families into our consumer and community mainstream. MORE Page 2 Suggested Remarks: (Continued) Mr. Arthur Harris Job Corps has been doing positive things. It has an exciting etory to tell. There are two vast problems confronting our country which are recognized in every opinion poll -- the Viet Nam War and the war against poverty. The Job Corps along with business men, and more and more citizens, are becoming increasingly concerned with the second -- poverty. Job Corps is one of the major national programs of the Office of Economic Opportunity. It's goal is to hault the poverty cycle of future generations, which is proving s0 costiy to thia country. Job Corps is dedicated to training "totally failed” 16 to 21 year olds an@ establishing them in society as productive, tax paying citizene. - This is truly a marvelous exhibit. You will be most interested in the new design and graphic techniques and the audio-visual devices for presenting information. As you will s00n see, the Job Corps exhibit in Atlanta has a business-like, good citizenship point that is vital to all of us. ‘Seripto is indeed proud to play a role in bringing this exhibit to Atlanta.  Page 3 Remarks by Mr. Harris - (Continued) Gentlemen (to those on platform) thank you very much for the important roles you have taken in this Atlanta Exhibition.

If you talk to him it might also be helpful to tell him your support Sam Caldwell's request for the Labor Department to waive a freeze which has existed on conducting power sewing machine training courses, There is a great demand for power sewing machine operators in the Atlanta area and Caldwell has been attempting to get the ban lifted on training people for this employment.

In addition to these reductions in potential training opportunities, these fund cuts have seriously diminished the ability of certain program components to be staffed at a level to give close, individual attention to the multiple problems of CEP clients. Of particular significance is the vital counseling and follow-up activity of Employment Service personnel. Even if the amount of funds available had not been reduced it had been the concensus of planners (including business, representatives of the poor, employment service, the schools, U.S. Labor, and EOA) that the number of persons served should be reduced and the length of training increased. This conclusion was the result of the first year's experience that the socially and educationally crippled people enrolled in CEP could not be upgraded in a brief training program. With this substantial reduction in funds, however, the number of training opportunities is drastically reduced and the potential impact of the program watered down significantly. Any action which has this result is a danger to us and should be avoided if possible. r TMJP/gj �MEMORANDUM TO: ~ - ~ FROM: . . . T. M.

Room 626 Atlant·a , Georgia 30309 Dear Mr. Norwood: I have several concerns about the ACEP program which I wish to register with you. (1) The continued reduction - in projected federal funds for our second CEP year is alarming in that it diminishes employment· training resources in a vital area of our City. Our projected reduction now totals approximately one million qollars compared to the first year budget. (2) We need mor e training opportunities in new careers, special impact, youth opportuni ties , and skills training. ·Present projections are for a total of 660 such slots. This is far below our original second year projections o f 1150 and dilut es significantly the potential impact o f ACEP. �\ Mr. Norwood -2- (3) We wish to include the East Central target area in our second year program and ask that serious consideration be given to this request. (4) We feel a greater voice should be provided in the selection and planning of skills training courses for ourselves, our business advisors, · and our representatives of the poor. Recent adjustments of program planning procedures seem to have diminishe_d this possibility aft er we worked very hard to develop interest i n these groups. (5) We need an expanded Employment Service effort within ACEP to include a strengthened recruiting and follow-up activ i ty. Budget reductions have forced eliminat ion of vital staff positions in this area. TMJP/gj cc: • I September 3, 1968 Mr. Boisfe uillet Jone s Dr. Ch a rl es A . Hi cks Mr. W. o.

During 1968, federal grant s available to EO~ have totaled $12,889,720, requiring $2,075,049 in non-federal share. The great majority of grant funds available are spent within the C:ity, and during the year, contracts totaling $1,713,383 have been made directly with City departments; Parks and Recreation San itation Atl anta Public Schools: (1) Summe~ Head Start (2) Manpower Training $329,063 $168,670 $356,524 $85 9,126 As can. be seen, the City government receives a d irect return fro~ its investment i n EU\ ,. a s well as the indirect gains accruing from the improved lives of its: cit iz:e ns as they benefit from the many p rogram activities. In t h e·, pas t,. much of our non-federai share ha·s b een developed t hr ough in-kind contribu tions of space, equipment, and services . However, new regulations f r om OEO demanding much more detailed j lllls tification of in- kind claims has ma de i t more d ifficult to meet requiremeimts in this way, and availability of loca l cas h is going to be increasingly important if the community i s to t ake fu ll advantage of f ederal programs .

Because so many are asking these questions , we have tried to provide new ways for them to learn first hand about Atlanta's needs and to become personally involved as volunteers. In January many civic, religious and social groups will join EOA in a START NOW ATLANTA campaign to alert citizens to Atlanta's needs. The week of January 12 will be proclaimed START NOW ATLANTA week .

For most of its citizens Atlanta offers growth, vitality and prosperity. But for 160,000 Atlantans this is not true. They live in 40,000 unfit dwellings in neighborhoods with names such as Vine City, Cabbagetown, Lig h tning, Summerhill, Mechanicsville and Buttermilk Bottom, only minutes from downtown Atlanta, but decades away from the mainstream of Atlanta's progress. The social, economic and ethnic character of Atlanta 1 s population is undergoing profound change. Middle-class families are moving to the suburbs, leaving behind in the central city area an increasingly large concentration of unemployed, underemployed, poorly educated, low-income families. Some of the residents of the central city are long-time hard core slum dwellers. Added to this group are thousands of rural "in-migrants" who move to Atlanta yearly from surrounding states. Crowded into deteriorating housing and alien surroundings, the newcomers from deprived rural areas join the residents of the central city in a lonely, miserable existence characterized by restricted opportunities and despair. Most are unskilled. Many are illiterate, lacking the most basic skills in reading, writing and arithmeti~. Many are unable to fill out job applications , read street or bus s igns, or follow written work instructions. F inding no work and little hope, the family unit disintegrates as individuals break and flee or fathers move out to allow their families to qualify f or public assistance. Desertion, divorce, crime, delinquency, unemployment and dependency . follow. Who are the poor in Atlanta? They are young men , like the 21 y ear old holding two jobs, neither pa y ing more than $1.25 an hour, to support h is wife and four chi ldren. A loan company is now thr e aten i ng to garnishee his wages because he missed payments on m9ney borrowed to buy Christmas toys for his children. One of his ch i ldren had pneumoni a. Tremedicine and additional coal to heat his room~ took all he had . The poor are wome n, like the 33 ye ar old mother supporting three ch i ldren. She ea rns $2 8 .00 a week and pa ys $1 2. 00 a week rent on th ree rooms. She must lea ve her children alone at home while s h e works because there are no free da y care centers near her neighborhood. The poor are old, like the 76 yea r old man l ivin g a lone i n one room, ex±sting on canned tomato juice and wieners which a neighbor brings every six or seven weeks. He is paralyzed. No one else ever comss to see him. The poor are parents, l ike the mother and father struggling to feed eight chi ldren . The fa ther drove a garbage truck for a private firm where his take home pay was $58 . 00 a week. Sometimes he slept in the truck when he mi ssed the one ride that took him near his home, some 18 miles away . One night a policeman came there to tell him that his 8 month old daughter had died of malnutrition �-2- that afternoon. The ma ~ is ~ow blind. He ~o lon ger watches his oldest son draw beautiful pictures --- a son who will never have a chance to dev elop this talent because he must quit school and feed his famil y . Who are the people living in Atlanta ; s slums? A study of 4 7 ,000 people, 1 6 t h rough 75 years of age, living in poverty neighborhoods served by EOA centers, found that: More than 2/3 of all unemployment in t h e Atlanta Metropolitan area is concentrated in these low-income areas. 77% 52% 82% 57% 7% 12% 11% 22% earned less than $3,000 a y ear. of all hou seholds were headed b y women. were Negroes. of the adu lts d id not g raduate from high school. h ad n o formal ed ~cation . needed medical aid to remove a work handi cap. claimed no job skill , or only farm work as exper ience. of the whites and 25% of t h e Negroes were seeking work. Of t~ose seekin g work, 75% were women. 65% of all seeking work were Negro women. 34% of the white women and 30% o f the white men desired additional vocational trainin g . 75% o f the Negro women and 6 1% o f the Negro me~ wanted add i tional vocatio~al training. The need for jobs, or better jobs, isa major topic of conversation in Atlanta's slums. The EOA centers are in daily contac t with thousands who do not earn e nough to support th e ms e l ve s and the ir famil ies b e ca u s e t hey ar e un e mploy ed, und e remploy e d or und e rpaid. Sev enty -two percen t of all people coming to EOA ne ighborhood centers want jobs , t h ough most need many other EOA services before they are prepared for stea dy e mployment . ~ At th e s ame t i me, Atlanta employe rs beg for people with the skills th ey ne e d to run th e ir bus i n es ses. Un e mp l oyment was t e s bo t h h uman a nd e conomic pote nt i al. At the lowest lev el, each man-y ear of unemploy ment costs t he economy at least _$2,500-.~3,000_ in lost wages or products.

I �Citizens Central Advisory Council Legislative Recommendation of the Education Sub-Committee December 17, 1968 I. The Georgia State Legislature is called upon to pass the following amendments: A. At present the board of education candidate's fee is $900.00. This large fee eleminates the possibility of grass root people becoming candidateso We recommend that the board of education candidate's fee be r~duced to $25.00 in order to insure the possibility of all persons being fostered the opportunity to run in the election. B. Several months ago the Department of Health, Education and Welfare evaluated the school system of the United States and Georgia rated forty-ninth. In order to dissolve the education lag in Georgia, training must start at an early ageo We therefore reccomend compulsive kindergarten throughout the state. C. All tea~hers be placed in their major area of training. D. Funds be withheld until local boards of education comply with the State Board of Education's requirementso E.

That some decentralization of the health services now available at Grady be undertaken to make them more accessible to people and to attempt to ease the overcrowding there. 3. Enforce the city code which requires that ambulances be staffed by a doctor, a registered nurse, or a person with Red Cross First Aid training. Extend the code to cover the couµties which do not have these requirements. I �Citizens Central Advisory Council Legislative Recommendations of the Transportation Sub-Committee December 9, 1968 I.

I �Reconnnendations from the Home Management Sub-Committee CCAC 1. we · ask that the State of Georgia establish a consumer protection agencY. to gather facts and evidence against merchants of all types who knowingly cheat and swindle customers with inferior merchandise, foods, and hidden or unfair credit practices . That this agency make this information available to consumers and use it, too, to advise Georgia lawmakers of needed changes in state laws. 2. That a law be passed requiring full, total, itemized and final credit costs be written out immediately above the place where the consumer must sign contracts, fbr loans, services, or goods. That these costs also be read a1~ad to the buyer before he signs the contract. I �. ,,, . Citizens Central Advisory Council Legislative Recommendations of the Follow-Through Sub-Committee December 10, 1968 I. The Georg~a State Legislature is called upon to pass the following: A. Provide the Atlanta School System with an increase in transportation allotment per child in order that the children attending Headstart, Follow-Through and schdbls dealing with the mentally and physically retarded can travel to and from school safely. I �Citizens Central Advisory Council Legislative Recommendations of the Follow-Through Sub-Committee December 10, 1968 I. We recommend to the Atlanta Board of Education that: A. Cross-walks be placed at strateg~c points withiri the FollowThrough school areas for the protection of the children. B. Patrol ladies be provided for these cross-walks; also these ladies be hired from the target area of the connnunity. �MANPOWER SUB-COMMITTEE RECO~.MENDATIONS Although the nation in general and Atlanta in particular is experiencing relatively high employment, the hard core poor, i.e. the chronically unemployed require immediate and direct assistance. These unskilled men and women who are currently unproductive and therefore impose a heavy drain on welfare and other dependency programs would prefer to be , ·e mployed and productive if given the necessary training and/or work. Therefore, we call upon our state representatives and city officials to enact legislation which will: A. B. c. Establish a Public Employrne nt Program including the following featur es : 1. Public work and beautification program for limited s ki lled, unemployed persons in urban communities. 2. New Ca reers progrqms in public depar tments . 3. Establishment o f sub p r ofess ional job categori e s in the State Merit System. 4. Cre a t e a public advi s ory committee to th e Department of Labor. Establi s h a Skills Center d es igned to offer training, eva luation, and plac eme nt to the unemployed in the urban centers of the St ate . 1. This center would acc e pt p e rsons with no prerequisites b ased on e du cation , training, income , e tc. 2. The c ente r would ha ve a n advisory committee repres e nting enrollees , business, education, l aboP and community action progr ams . 3. Such a c e nt e r wou ld d ea l spe cifica lly with the unemployme nt probl em o f fem a l es b y offeri ng tr a ining, provi d ing day c are and deve loping job placeme nts for them . Enfo rce n ondi s cr iminat ion in a ll (city) and state contracts l e t b y any d e p ar tme nt. �--- - SOCIAL SERVICES SUB-COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS The most serious problem facing the poor in Atlanta and throughout the state is the impending freeze of welfare assistance. The level of assistanceis already too low. It should be raised. But if it must remain at this low level, at least continue this sole support for mothers with dependent children. The Congressmen from Georg~a are urged to work for the repeal of those provisions which would freeze AFDC at current levels. The proposed tax revision pos es a real threat to the families o f th e poor throughout the state .. The general sales and use of tax is the most regressive tax . It take s a far larger p e rce ntage of the poor man's income than a rich man's, simply b ecause the poor man spends a g reat d eal of his income on n e c ess ities . If the General Assembly increas es the taxes wh ich ar~ regres~ive in·. nature, los s of purchas ing power would be a crippl ing blow to the already low standard of living of t he poor family . We urge the Ge orgia Assemb l y to reject any pla n s which would increase the tax burden of the poor in our state. �!. HOUSING SUB-COMM ITTEE RECOM!\ffiNDATIONS The_Housing sub-committee of the Central Citizens Advisory Council is concerned about the problems of welfare recipients in public housing and public housing conditions in general. This committee has studied these problems, met with welfare and housing officials to discuss them and still has found no relief. The minimum standards for welfare grants and the allowance for shelter must e increas ed . - - b-I. The Department of Family and Children Services is called upon to adjust welfare grants so as to r emove inequities in housing and maintenance. This adjustment will require legislative action: A. The Ge orgia State Legislature is c alled upon to increas e the standard budget allowance for shelter in Department of Family and Children Services grants throughout t he state, and to allocqte the money nec essary to f und these grants. . We request and inve stiga tion bv the Le gisl ature o f the present system of p ayments to d e termine basi,s for adjustment. . B. II. The state laws should be ame nded to provide : A. Tenant participation in: 1. We recommend that Tenants serve on policy-making boards. Also we recomme nd the reduction o f the terms of office of the housing authority membe rs fr om ten to three y e ars . 2. Management a. Developme nt of respe ct for tenant organizarions in an advisory c a p a city ; prohibition o f turning o ff utilitie s f or non-payme nt of r e nt. b.

Reorganization of eviction procedures to: 1. Allow six days instead of present four 2. Removal of requirement for double indemnity bonds where dispossessory warrants are contested in court. 3. Require that r e ceipts be frunished tenants for all charges including: warrantees , utility bills, repairs, etc . 4. Removal of Section 9-A and like provision~ making evictions purely discr etionary with managers. The o fficials and staff o f p ublic housing authorities are called upon to work for th e social goals r e comme nde d by the Housing Assistance Administration March 22, 1968, including also: A. Respect for t enant s . as individua l s and human b eings . B. Same regulations and codes for public housing as exist for private housing. C. Uniform requirements in regard to rul es and e limination of dues except as e s tablished by tenant associations. D. Arrangement of of fice hours and facilities to suit convenience of most tenant s . E. Public announcements and adve rtis i ng in r egard to vacancies , cha n ges and possibilities for transfer s , as we ll as , itemiz e d fi n a n c ial r epor ts by h ousing authorities. �-3- F. Raising minimlli~ income requirements for youth family members to $600 before inclusion as family income for rent adjustments. G.

I �HEALTH SUB-COMMITTEE RECO.MJ.'1ENDATIONS The most critical problem facing many of the poor is the absence of health services. Before an individual can hold a job or keep one he or she must have good health. Our older people require better health services and the very young in poor families. Existing health services meet only a fraction of the need of poor people. We recommend: 1. That Fulton County start a visiting nurse_service for the many elderly and bedfast who cannot get to Grady Hospital. 2. That some d e c e n t ralization of the h e alth services now availabl e at Grady b e unde rtak e n to mak e them more accessible to people and to attempt to ease the ove rcrowding there. 3. Enfor c e the city code which r e quir e s that ambulance s b e staf fed b y a doctor, a r egis tered nurs e , or a p e rson wi t h Re d c~6ss First Aid tra ining. Extend the code to cov er the counti e s which do not have requirements. �TRA..~SPORTATION SUB-COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS The poor recognize as does the general public the need for transportation. In fac~, the poor lives with this recognition each day as we leave our homes in the early hours of the morning and return lat e in the evening. It is we who are forced to use public transportation and who are sometimes prevented from seeking better jobs because of the lack of transportation. We want better transportation, even Rapid Transit, if it planned in such a way th at our needs a r e met just like the other groups i~ the a re a . 1. The Ge orgia St ate Legislature is c alled upon to pass the following: a. Increase representation on the Rapid Transit Bo ard . b. Revise the Rapid Transit program to mee t the needs o f the poor p e ople . c. Offer new referendum to voters on rapid transi't. d. P2 rmit sal e s of s t ock to r a is e fun ds instead of increasing property tax . e. Consider a p ayroll tax for Rapid Transit. f. Supply tr ansp or t ation for special schools (He adst a rt , Follow-Through, and othe r schools that de a ls with me nt a lly i l l and physically r e t ard e d childr e n ) . �HOME MANAGEMENT SUB-CO~t~ ITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS The Poor are often the prey of unscrupulous merchants or salesmen. Exorb1tant interest rates on items purchased or inferior quality 6f goods and services are frequently found in our low income n e ighborhoods. These practices must be stopped. 1. We ask that the State of Georgia establish a consumer protection agency to gather facts and evidence against merchants of all types who knowingly cheat and swindle customers with inferior merchandise, foods, and hidden or unfair credit practices. _That this age ncy make this informa tion avail ab le to cons ume rs a nd u se it, too, to advis e Ge or gia Lawmak e r s of needed change s in state laws. 2. That a law b e passed r e quiring full, total, itemized and final c red it costs b e written out imme diately above the place wh e r e t he consumer ·mu st s ign cont racts, for loans, s e rvic es , o r goods . That th ese cos t s al s o b e r ead al oud to th e buy er b e fore h e signs the contract. .J �FOLLOW-THROUGH SUB-COMMITTEE RECO.MivIBNDATIONS I.

Under a 1967 · change L, the law, the OEO's local antipoverty wing, the United P lanning Organization, can veto an experimental program iri its province. To OEO's surprise, it did so. Williams, a member of the UPO board and head of its advisory council cf the poor, led the attack. Among other things, Williams argues the hardpinched antipoverty money should be spent on programs that visibly help.the poor, not on • the police. Wiley A. Branton. UPO's executive director, says his organization wasn't consulted in the planning and argues ghetto residents will hardly embrace a police progr am that is being imposed on them. "The distrust is a deep-sealed thing," says Branton. The squabble has settled into an exchange of memorandums, disputes over technicalities, counterproposals and countercharges, and an OEO argument thait UPO didn't ha\·e enough board memb:?rs present to make its veto legal. At any rate, OEO can override the veto, and probably will do so if it can't reach a compromise with UPO. The bil'th pangs hardly poit t to any assurance of success for the experiment in improving relations between police and the poor.

Jim Parh am, Executive A inistrator ~ Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc. ~, RE: ACEP (Atlanta Concentrated Employment Program) DATE: September 3, 1968 j} We are alarmed about continued reductions in second year funds for ACEP. As of now we are told by regional U.S. Labor Department officials that we must take a one million dollar cut in federal funds budgeted for ACEP for the period September 1, 1968 thru August 31, 1969: Year Federal Funds 9/67 - 8/68 $3,980,531 9/68 - 9/69 $2,96 7 ,789 We learned ma ny lessons in our first CEP year and h a d projected a modified program for the second year which incorporated many of these l es sons.

If you don't count direct placements (since this involves little or no training investment), we are left with only ·660 training opportunities for this large disadvantaged area which includes our total Mode~ Cities community. I In addition to these reductions in potential training opportunities, these fund cuts have seriously diminished the ability of certain program components to be staffed at a level to give close, individual attention to the multiple problems of CEP clients. Of particular significance is the vital counseling and follow-up activity of Employment Service personnel. Even if the amount of funds available had not been reduced it had been the concensus of planners (including business, representatives of the poor, employment service, the schools, U.S. Labor, and EOA) that the number of persons served should be reduced and the length of training increased. This conclusion was the result of the first year's experience that the socially and educationally crippled people enrolled in CEP could not be upgraded in a brief training program. With this substantial reduction in funds, however, the number of training opportunities is drastically reduced and the potential impact of the program watered down significantly. Any action which has this result is a danger to us and should avoided if possible. TMJP/gj �September 6 , 1968 Mrs .

Room 626 Atlant·a , Georgia 30309 Dear Mr. Norwood: I have several concerns about the ACEP program which I wish to register with you. (1) The continued reduction - in projected federal funds for our second CEP year is alarming in that it diminishes employment· training resources in a vital area of our City. Our projected reduction now totals approximately one million qollars compared to the first year budget. (2) We need mor e training opportunities in new careers, special impact, youth opportuni ties , and skills training. ·Present projections are for a total of 660 such slots. This is far below our original second year projections o f 1150 and dilut es significantly the potential impact o f ACEP. �\ Mr. Norwood -2- (3) We wish to include the East Central target area in our second year program and ask that serious consideration be given to this request. (4) We feel a greater voice should be provided in the selection and planning of skills training courses for ourselves, our business advisors, · and our representatives of the poor. Recent adjustments of program planning procedures seem to have diminishe_d this possibility aft er we worked very hard to develop interest i n these groups. (5) We need an expanded Employment Service effort within ACEP to include a strengthened recruiting and follow-up activ i ty. Budget reductions have forced eliminat ion of vital staff positions in this area. TMJP/gj cc: • I September 3, 1968 Mr. Boisfe uillet Jone s Dr. Ch a rl es A . Hi cks Mr. W. o.

Parh a m E xecu cive Admi n is cra cor September 27, 1968 Honorable Mil.ton G- Farris, Chairman Finance Co.'.lllllittee Board of Aldermerr City Hall Atlanta, Georgia Dear Mr. Farris: Economi.c Opport:unity Atlanta, Inc. is requesting that the City of Atlanta in 1969 increase i ts support of the local antipoverty program from $100,000 to $125,000., The cash all.ocation from the City of Atlanta is used to help meet the non-federal. share of twenty per cent which is required by OEO. During 1968, federal grant s available to EO~ have totaled $12,889,720, requiring $2,075,049 in non-federal share. The great majority of grant funds available are spent within the C:ity, and during the year, contracts totaling $1,713,383 have been made directly with City departments; Parks and Recreation San itation Atl anta Public Schools: (1) Summe~ Head Start (2) Manpower Training $329,063 $168,670 $356,524 $85 9,126 As can. be seen, the City government receives a d irect return fro~ its investment i n EU\ ,. a s well as the indirect gains accruing from the improved lives of its: cit iz:e ns as they benefit from the many p rogram activities. In t h e·, pas t,. much of our non-federai share ha·s b een developed t hr ough in-kind contribu tions of space, equipment, and services . However, new regulations f r om OEO demanding much more detailed j lllls tification of in- kind claims has ma de i t more d ifficult to meet requiremeimts in this way, and availability of loca l cas h is going to be increasingly important if the community i s to t ake fu ll advantage of f ederal programs . The EO\ . Board 7 staff , a nd resident participants are very appreciative of the suppor t gi.ven t his program by City government. We have worked closely �Honorable Milton G. Farris Page 2 _ September 27, 1968 with the Mayor's office, the Crime Prevention Department, and the Parks Department to help maintain community stability.

For most of its citizens Atlanta offers growth, vitality and prosperity. But for 160,000 Atlantans this is not true. They live in 40,000 unfit dwellings in neighborhoods with names such as Vine City, Cabbagetown, Lig h tning, Summerhill, Mechanicsville and Buttermilk Bottom, only minutes from downtown Atlanta, but decades away from the mainstream of Atlanta's progress. The social, economic and ethnic character of Atlanta 1 s population is undergoing profound change. Middle-class families are moving to the suburbs, leaving behind in the central city area an increasingly large concentration of unemployed, underemployed, poorly educated, low-income families. Some of the residents of the central city are long-time hard core slum dwellers. Added to this group are thousands of rural "in-migrants" who move to Atlanta yearly from surrounding states. Crowded into deteriorating housing and alien surroundings, the newcomers from deprived rural areas join the residents of the central city in a lonely, miserable existence characterized by restricted opportunities and despair. Most are unskilled. Many are illiterate, lacking the most basic skills in reading, writing and arithmeti~. Many are unable to fill out job applications , read street or bus s igns, or follow written work instructions. F inding no work and little hope, the family unit disintegrates as individuals break and flee or fathers move out to allow their families to qualify f or public assistance. Desertion, divorce, crime, delinquency, unemployment and dependency . follow. Who are the poor in Atlanta? They are young men , like the 21 y ear old holding two jobs, neither pa y ing more than $1.25 an hour, to support h is wife and four chi ldren. A loan company is now thr e aten i ng to garnishee his wages because he missed payments on m9ney borrowed to buy Christmas toys for his children. One of his ch i ldren had pneumoni a. Tremedicine and additional coal to heat his room~ took all he had . The poor are wome n, like the 33 ye ar old mother supporting three ch i ldren. She ea rns $2 8 .00 a week and pa ys $1 2. 00 a week rent on th ree rooms. She must lea ve her children alone at home while s h e works because there are no free da y care centers near her neighborhood. The poor are old, like the 76 yea r old man l ivin g a lone i n one room, ex±sting on canned tomato juice and wieners which a neighbor brings every six or seven weeks. He is paralyzed. No one else ever comss to see him. The poor are parents, l ike the mother and father struggling to feed eight chi ldren . The fa ther drove a garbage truck for a private firm where his take home pay was $58 . 00 a week. Sometimes he slept in the truck when he mi ssed the one ride that took him near his home, some 18 miles away . One night a policeman came there to tell him that his 8 month old daughter had died of malnutrition �-2- that afternoon. The ma ~ is ~ow blind. He ~o lon ger watches his oldest son draw beautiful pictures --- a son who will never have a chance to dev elop this talent because he must quit school and feed his famil y . Who are the people living in Atlanta ; s slums? A study of 4 7 ,000 people, 1 6 t h rough 75 years of age, living in poverty neighborhoods served by EOA centers, found that: More than 2/3 of all unemployment in t h e Atlanta Metropolitan area is concentrated in these low-income areas. 77% 52% 82% 57% 7% 12% 11% 22% earned less than $3,000 a y ear. of all hou seholds were headed b y women. were Negroes. of the adu lts d id not g raduate from high school. h ad n o formal ed ~cation . needed medical aid to remove a work handi cap. claimed no job skill , or only farm work as exper ience. of the whites and 25% of t h e Negroes were seeking work. Of t~ose seekin g work, 75% were women. 65% of all seeking work were Negro women. 34% of the white women and 30% o f the white men desired additional vocational trainin g . 75% o f the Negro women and 6 1% o f the Negro me~ wanted add i tional vocatio~al training. The need for jobs, or better jobs, isa major topic of conversation in Atlanta's slums. The EOA centers are in daily contac t with thousands who do not earn e nough to support th e ms e l ve s and the ir famil ies b e ca u s e t hey ar e un e mploy ed, und e remploy e d or und e rpaid. Sev enty -two percen t of all people coming to EOA ne ighborhood centers want jobs , t h ough most need many other EOA services before they are prepared for stea dy e mployment . ~ At th e s ame t i me, Atlanta employe rs beg for people with the skills th ey ne e d to run th e ir bus i n es ses. Un e mp l oyment was t e s bo t h h uman a nd e conomic pote nt i al. At the lowest lev el, each man-y ear of unemploy ment costs t he economy at least _$2,500-.~3,000_ in lost wages or products.

I �Citizens Central Advisory Council Legislative Recommendation of the Education Sub-Committee December 17, 1968 I. The Georgia State Legislature is called upon to pass the following amendments: A. At present the board of education candidate's fee is $900.00. This large fee eleminates the possibility of grass root people becoming candidateso We recommend that the board of education candidate's fee be r~duced to $25.00 in order to insure the possibility of all persons being fostered the opportunity to run in the election. B. Several months ago the Department of Health, Education and Welfare evaluated the school system of the United States and Georgia rated forty-ninth. In order to dissolve the education lag in Georgia, training must start at an early ageo We therefore reccomend compulsive kindergarten throughout the state. C. All tea~hers be placed in their major area of training. D. Funds be withheld until local boards of education comply with the State Board of Education's requirementso E. Representatives to Boards of Education be elected by wards and areas. F.

That some decentralization of the health services now available at Grady be undertaken to make them more accessible to people and to attempt to ease the overcrowding there. 3. Enforce the city code which requires that ambulances be staffed by a doctor, a registered nurse, or a person with Red Cross First Aid training. Extend the code to cover the couµties which do not have these requirements. I �Citizens Central Advisory Council Legislative Recommendations of the Transportation Sub-Committee December 9, 1968 I.

That this agency make this information available to consumers and use it, too, to advise Georgia lawmakers of needed changes in state laws. 2. That a law be passed requiring full, total, itemized and final credit costs be written out immediately above the place where the consumer must sign contracts, fbr loans, services, or goods. That these costs also be read a1~ad to the buyer before he signs the contract. I �. ,,, . Citizens Central Advisory Council Legislative Recommendations of the Follow-Through Sub-Committee December 10, 1968 I. The Georg~a State Legislature is called upon to pass the following: A. Provide the Atlanta School System with an increase in transportation allotment per child in order that the children attending Headstart, Follow-Through and schdbls dealing with the mentally and physically retarded can travel to and from school safely. I �Citizens Central Advisory Council Legislative Recommendations of the Follow-Through Sub-Committee December 10, 1968 I. We recommend to the Atlanta Board of Education that: A. Cross-walks be placed at strateg~c points withiri the FollowThrough school areas for the protection of the children. B. Patrol ladies be provided for these cross-walks; also these ladies be hired from the target area of the connnunity. �MANPOWER SUB-COMMITTEE RECO~.MENDATIONS Although the nation in general and Atlanta in particular is experiencing relatively high employment, the hard core poor, i.e. the chronically unemployed require immediate and direct assistance. These unskilled men and women who are currently unproductive and therefore impose a heavy drain on welfare and other dependency programs would prefer to be , ·e mployed and productive if given the necessary training and/or work. Therefore, we call upon our state representatives and city officials to enact legislation which will: A. B. c. Establish a Public Employrne nt Program including the following featur es : 1. Public work and beautification program for limited s ki lled, unemployed persons in urban communities. 2. New Ca reers progrqms in public depar tments . 3. Establishment o f sub p r ofess ional job categori e s in the State Merit System. 4. Cre a t e a public advi s ory committee to th e Department of Labor. Establi s h a Skills Center d es igned to offer training, eva luation, and plac eme nt to the unemployed in the urban centers of the St ate . 1. This center would acc e pt p e rsons with no prerequisites b ased on e du cation , training, income , e tc. 2. The c ente r would ha ve a n advisory committee repres e nting enrollees , business, education, l aboP and community action progr ams . 3.

Enfo rce n ondi s cr iminat ion in a ll (city) and state contracts l e t b y any d e p ar tme nt. �--- - SOCIAL SERVICES SUB-COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS The most serious problem facing the poor in Atlanta and throughout the state is the impending freeze of welfare assistance. The level of assistanceis already too low. It should be raised. But if it must remain at this low level, at least continue this sole support for mothers with dependent children. The Congressmen from Georg~a are urged to work for the repeal of those provisions which would freeze AFDC at current levels. The proposed tax revision pos es a real threat to the families o f th e poor throughout the state .. The general sales and use of tax is the most regressive tax . It take s a far larger p e rce ntage of the poor man's income than a rich man's, simply b ecause the poor man spends a g reat d eal of his income on n e c ess ities . If the General Assembly increas es the taxes wh ich ar~ regres~ive in·. nature, los s of purchas ing power would be a crippl ing blow to the already low standard of living of t he poor family . We urge the Ge orgia Assemb l y to reject any pla n s which would increase the tax burden of the poor in our state. �!. HOUSING SUB-COMM ITTEE RECOM!\ffiNDATIONS The_Housing sub-committee of the Central Citizens Advisory Council is concerned about the problems of welfare recipients in public housing and public housing conditions in general. This committee has studied these problems, met with welfare and housing officials to discuss them and still has found no relief. The minimum standards for welfare grants and the allowance for shelter must e increas ed . - - b-I.

I �HEALTH SUB-COMMITTEE RECO.MJ.'1ENDATIONS The most critical problem facing many of the poor is the absence of health services. Before an individual can hold a job or keep one he or she must have good health. Our older people require better health services and the very young in poor families. Existing health services meet only a fraction of the need of poor people. We recommend: 1. That Fulton County start a visiting nurse_service for the many elderly and bedfast who cannot get to Grady Hospital. 2. That some d e c e n t ralization of the h e alth services now availabl e at Grady b e unde rtak e n to mak e them more accessible to people and to attempt to ease the ove rcrowding there. 3. Enfor c e the city code which r e quir e s that ambulance s b e staf fed b y a doctor, a r egis tered nurs e , or a p e rson wi t h Re d c~6ss First Aid tra ining. Extend the code to cov er the counti e s which do not have requirements. �TRA..~SPORTATION SUB-COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS The poor recognize as does the general public the need for transportation. In fac~, the poor lives with this recognition each day as we leave our homes in the early hours of the morning and return lat e in the evening. It is we who are forced to use public transportation and who are sometimes prevented from seeking better jobs because of the lack of transportation. We want better transportation, even Rapid Transit, if it planned in such a way th at our needs a r e met just like the other groups i~ the a re a . 1. The Ge orgia St ate Legislature is c alled upon to pass the following: a. Increase representation on the Rapid Transit Bo ard . b. Revise the Rapid Transit program to mee t the needs o f the poor p e ople . c. Offer new referendum to voters on rapid transi't. d. P2 rmit sal e s of s t ock to r a is e fun ds instead of increasing property tax . e. Consider a p ayroll tax for Rapid Transit. f. Supply tr ansp or t ation for special schools (He adst a rt , Follow-Through, and othe r schools that de a ls with me nt a lly i l l and physically r e t ard e d childr e n ) . �HOME MANAGEMENT SUB-CO~t~ ITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS The Poor are often the prey of unscrupulous merchants or salesmen. Exorb1tant interest rates on items purchased or inferior quality 6f goods and services are frequently found in our low income n e ighborhoods. These practices must be stopped. 1. We ask that the State of Georgia establish a consumer protection agency to gather facts and evidence against merchants of all types who knowingly cheat and swindle customers with inferior merchandise, foods, and hidden or unfair credit practices. _That this age ncy make this informa tion avail ab le to cons ume rs a nd u se it, too, to advis e Ge or gia Lawmak e r s of needed change s in state laws. 2. That a law b e passed r e quiring full, total, itemized and final c red it costs b e written out imme diately above the place wh e r e t he consumer ·mu st s ign cont racts, for loans, s e rvic es , o r goods . That th ese cos t s al s o b e r ead al oud to th e buy er b e fore h e signs the contract. .J �FOLLOW-THROUGH SUB-COMMITTEE RECO.MivIBNDATIONS I. The Georgia State Legislature is called upon to pass the following: A. Provide the Atlanta School System with an increase in transportation allotment per child in order that the children attending Headstart, Follow-Through and schools dealing with the mentally and physically retarded can travel to and from school safely. B. Cross-walks be placed at strategic points within the Follow-Through school areas for the protection of th e children. C. Patrol ladies be provided for these cross-walks; also th ese ladies be hired from the target area of - the community. �r 1 Econo m ic 'Op·portunit)l A tlanta, jg_~-- ~ 101 \ b.r ie cca Screec Bldg. • ,-\.cla~ca, Georgia 3030 3 • T elephone 688- 101 2 T . \ !.

The Police Community Service Officer pilot program underway this summer has already demonstrated its potential value. The extension and expansion of these programs as well as the develop- ment of other methods of police-community communication are necessary for the future harmony of Atlanta neighborhoods, It seems to me that if OLO money is available and Washington, D.

Even so, the City has appropriated funds more than equal to what was granted by E, O. A. for this purpose. You might emphasize that the city general government is only one of many agencies receiving E, 0, A. assistance in the metropolitan area. It might be that E. O.

Presently, the local contribution is a small percentage of the total and we believe that most municipalities meet it with in-kind rather than cash contributions. However, there IB continuing discussion in Congress to raise the local share. Municipalities thus would be required to assume a greater portion in cash.

In particular we are interested in the following programs: Community Action Programs under Title II of the Economic Opportunity Act (EOA); the Neighborhood Youth Corps under Title IV of the EOA; the Work Experience Program under Title V of the EOA; the Work Study Program under the Higher Education Act; and Manpower Training Programs under the Manpower Development and Training Act.
