Atlanta, Georgia . 30309 .Dear Rodney: Your letter of October 11 concerning low-rent public housing and the approaches which you feel the Housing Authority should take have led to a restudy of the current situation and the future course of action with respect to the development of high and low-density housing. The overall objective for housing in Atlanta is contained in the Community Improvement Program study as adopted by the Board of Aldermen. As restated by you, it is: "Place greater and intensified emphasis on creating higher density (high-rise} housing and preserving and promoting additional single family dvrellings; garden type apartments must be deemphasized in the future development and redevelopment of Atlanta. 11 Our studies indicate, and we believe this to be implicit in the CIP Study, that housing for higher income families should be largely in high-rise and single family structures, and that housing for low-income families should be largely in garden type apartments and high-rise for the elderly structures. Though we know of no study which indicates the extent of need and the degree of acceptability of high-rise structures by elderly low-income families in Atlanta, our experience, on the whole, has been favorable. The Housing Authority is, therefore, placing very considerable emphasis on this type of housing even though the Federal program is de-emphasizing elderly housing at the present. We referred your letter to the Regional Housing Assistance Office with a request for their comments. We are attaching a copy of their l etter and a .,, · copy of HUD Circular of 9/18/68 which also relates to these matters. Mr. Hanson I s letter clearly states the position of the ·Federal Agericy with respect to the low- income housing program. �-2Weha.ve also reviewed much of the literature concerning the development of planned communities and neighborhoods. In addition to this, we have discussed such developments with developers and planners of national and international stature. The general consensus is that a desirable neighborhood is one that contains a· reasonable cross-section of family sizes and income groups. Our observation is that in Atlanta most of the privately developed housing consists of one and two bedroom .units, except for higher-income single family residences. There is apparently a very great need for a large number of 3, 4 & 5 bedroom units for lower income families. We have attached a listing of the low-rent public housing projects in Atlanta, giving data on apartmem, by bedroom size. Please note that the older projects included no four or five bedroom apartments, and were heavily weighted toward efficiency and one bedroom units. The more recent developments have been increasingly weighted toward apartments with a larger number of bedrooms. · Your letter requested certain statistical information with respect to one and two person families. As of June 30, 1968, we were serving 2,345 one person families. Of these, 1,926 are elderly (62 years and over}, and the remainder consist of handicapped persons, widows or widowers whose spouses have deceased during their tenancy, and a very few single persons displaced by Urban Renewal or other governmental activities. In low-rent public housing are also 1,972 two person families, of which 202 are families having no minors and who are neither elderly nor disabled. We have included a listing showing the projects in which these two person families live. Because of the great demand for admission to low-rent public housing, which stays fully occupied with an average waiting list of approximately 1,500 applications, it is clear that the family sizes accommodated in low-rent housing is controlled by the size apartments which have been built, and, as mentioned above, the early program was heavily weighted toward the smaller size apartments. In the light of the foregoing, it would appear that the policies being followed by the Housing Authority in the construction of new low-rent public housing is the proper course of action, and, in the light of the current laws and regulations, achieves to the maximum degree possible the objectives which you advocate. With respect to the Bedford-Pine Project, GA. R-101, and the public hous:Lng presently planned for that project, we believe that fill consideration has been given to the objectives outlined in your letter and to the objectives of the project as agreed in meetings with the project residents. We enclose an �-3- analysis of one and two person families now living in the Bedford Pine Project area. Our past experience indicates that most of the 148 individuals will insist on being self-relocated for a variety of reasons such as contemplated marriage, illegal occupations, alcoholism. Most of the elderly and handicapped will probably move into public housing. Of the 223 two person families, most will be satisfactorily relocated by our staff, and it is our hope that most of those eligible for public housing will take advantage of their opportunity. It would appear that the public housing for the elderly planned for this area will acconunodate all those who are likely to move in, and will leave a small surplus. The Project Advisory Committee, with whom this matter has been discussed, feels strongly that the very limited land area available for residential reuse should be devoted to housing which will serve the people living in the area. The 353 apartments, of which 149 will be for elderzy, is designed to accomplish this. We are attaching a letter from the Project Advisory Committee stating their feelings in this matter. We reconunend and urge that these 353 apartments be constructed in the apartment sizes presently planned. · The constructive approach which you are taking to this matter is greatly appreciated, and we appreciate also the thoughtful and constructive policies which you and the Policy Committee present for the guidance of the Urban Renewal program.

B. Satterfield, Executive TheHousing Authority of the City of Atlanta, Georgia 824 Hurt Building Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mr. Satterfield: This acknowledges your letter of October 16, 1968, enclosing a copy of Mr. Rodney Cook's letter to you of October 11, 1968, for our observations, since many of the points raised involve matters which eventually require approval of this Office. We are always encouraged when a man of Mr. Cook's stature gives as much time and thought to a program as is reflected in his letter. We wish to point out, however, several complications in his proposal that arise based on our local and national e xp erience with the Low-Rent Housing Program. The first matter that concerns us greatly is the fact that construction costs are at least $2,000 more per unit on high-rise than on low-rise structures. Further, if we constructed all our larger units in a project without an intermix of smaller units, we would e xpe rience an e x ceptionally high aver~ge cost per unit. Since the smaller units in a high-rise would cost us a t least $2,000 per unit more than normall y experienced, we could not even average two projects t(?gether to get an acceptable unit cost. In other words, this policy will result in an extra unacceptable construction cost to the Government. Of grave additional concern to us is the fact that concentrating the large families with their high density of children in projec~s such as proposed will greatly increase maintenance costs as well as management problems. We hav e found this true even when we concentrate the larger units in one section of a project. In fact, in project planning, we endeavor to intermix larger and smaller units to avoid this larger unit concentration. Wifh this type conc~ntration, increas ed juvenile crime and delinquency, increased frequency of juveni le gangs, increased peril to the personal safety of tenants, an increase in social problems an d difficulty in h a ndling them all become factors with which Management has to cope. The stabilizing effect of older families is lost under any system which involves up-rooting and moving them to high-rise proj ec ts.

October 18, 1968 Housing Assistance Office + S 7 - IN REPLY REFER To: i . bt = and | Sap? Mr. M. B. Satterfield, Executive Director Cyag ‘ The Housing Authority of the 7; City of Atlanta, Georgia “e bs 824 Hurt Building SA 5S Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mr. Satterfield: ° This acknowledges your letter of October 16, 1968, enclosing a copy of Mr. Rodney Cook's letter to you of October 11, 1968, for our observations, since many of the points raised involve matters which eventually require approval of this Office. We are always encouraged when a man of Mr. Cook's stature gives as much time and thought to a program as is reflected in his letter. We wish to point out, however, several complications in his proposal that arise based on our local and national experience with the Low-Rent Housing Program. The first matter that concerns us greatly is the fact that construction costs are at least $2,000 more per unit on high-rise than on low-rise structures. Further, if we constructed all our larger units in a project without an inter- mix of smaller units, we would experience an exceptionally high average cost per unit. Since the smaller units in a high-rise would cost us at least $2, 000 per unit more than normally experienced, we could not even average two projects together to get an acceptable unit cost. In other words, this policy will result in an extra unacceptable construction cost to the Government. Of grave additional concern to us is the fact that concentrating the large families with their high density of children in projects such as proposed will greatly increase maintenance costs as well as management problems. We have found this true even when we concentrate the larger units in one section of a project. In fact, in project planning, we endeavor to intermix larger and smaller units to avoid this larger unit concentration. With this type concentration, increased juvenile crime and delinquency, increased frequency of juvenile gangs, increased peril to the personal safety of tenants, an increase in social problems and difficulty in handling them all become factors with which Management has to cope. The stabilizing effect of older families is lost under any system which involves up-rooting and moving them to high-rise projects. Many older families also do not like high-rise living and would only move into the environment under protest. Young families moving into the high-rise in turn would be required to move when they began to have children. The practice of concentrating two-person or less families in one group and larger families in another group creates an unnatural type community. In the past, we have altered unit sizes in existing projects only on a case basis where the market had changed. In some instances, we created more units by the conversion of larger units and in other instances we created fewer units by conversion of smaller units to make larger units. In most instances, this has been a costly process, justified only because a vacancy problem over a long period of time had developed. Further, because of the physical layout of existing units, the amount of conversion to larger or smaller size units that can be made is usually quite limited. It must also be realized that when you reduce the number of units in a project, you also reduce the rental income, while at the same time, as indicated above, you increase the maintenance cost. We could not agree to any such plan in Atlanta merely to relocate families in high-rise structures. There are instances throughout the Country now where, because of the high density of children and large families involved, consideration has been given to abandoning the projects to a different design concept. ‘The present policy in public housing programming favors disbursing the units into smaller clusters and avoiding the large project developments. Land and construction costs in a large city usually prohibit the development of single family units under our program The plan outlined by Mr. Cook reflects serious and responsible thinking and concern on his part; however, it does not take into consideration some of the problems known to us that would make it unacceptable to this Administration.

Any aid in keeping the line of information open to the neighborhood, rather than settings it out of the pavers, will be of great service to ell of us. The susgestion of ir. Cook and others to chenge tha plans in the public housing along North avenue and around the park in the Bedford-Pine Plan is alarming. After years of planning by your group ‘and by the architects, the maneuver to make the area unbalanced does not seem realiastic. To have all, or a sreat portion, of older _ people or only couples would no more fill the needs of the neighborhood than to not consider them at all, Therefore, we plead that the original plans be kept as discussed this year, and 211 efforts to make last minute major changas be rejected. We were also disturbed et the plan to enlarse the area in the East Avenus, MacKenzie Drive area by disolacing some 88 families. This Type move should be given far more consideration than the few days you say will ve given before the recommendation is made. Remember, we hed not been advisei about this before Thursdsy, and you indicated a decision had to be made this week. We again recommsnd that the original boundry and plan be adhered to and that no expansion be considered until the original area is reconstructed and finished. Again, better communication in the planning stese, rather than near the execution stags, should eliminate many of the doubts and fears that have existed in past years.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

April 15, 1968 IN REPLY REFER TO: 3CP Mr. Wayne Moore, Jr. Coordinator Metropolitan Atlanta Council of Local Governments 900 Glenn Building Atlante, Georgia 30303 Dear Mr. Moore: Subject: Urban Planning Assistance Program Funding One Areawide Planning Agency per Metropolitan Area This office is in receipt of notification from our Washington office that it is the present departmental policy to support only one areawide agency per metropolitan area. The reasons why grants should not be made to two agencies, as is the case in the Atlanta metropolitan area, as set forth by the Washington office are: 1. Lack of necessity. There is no distinction in the 701 Program between Organizations of Public Officials and metropolitan planning commissions with regard to eligible work. Although Section 701(g) and Planning Agency Letter #50 emphasize coordination of governmental regulations and services, such studies were eligible before the enactment of 701(g). 2. Value to the community of a single areawide agency. Having one ereawide agency responsible for developing and coordinating multi- jurisdictional plans, programs and policies on all fronts - social, physical, economic, health, administrative, etc., - is of ultimate benefit to the community. It reduces confusion on the part of elected officials and the people as to where this responsibility rests, and it reduces divisive competition between agencies. Specific 7Ol-assisted work items can be subcontracted to other agencies, but the legal responsibility should lie with the central agency. 3. Conservation of scarce people and dollars. There is a serious shortage of competent public administrators and high-level professional people to fill top staff positions on these agencies. HUD should avoid generating unnecessary additional demand for such personnel. Also, grant funds are scarce. Again, we should avoid creating unnecessary additional demand.  hk. Federal policy or coordination in mlti-jurisdictional sreas. The multiplicity of federal and state assistance programs to urban areas requires that these programs be coordinated eat the metropolitan or regional level. President Johnson has called for such coordination, and the Bureau of the Budget has laid out guidelines in Circular A-80. it is unlikely that funding two areawide agencies in the same area through 701 would be in the spirit of these executive proncuncements. 5. Conflicting plans and programs, Dual agencies provide no mechanism for resolving inconsistent plans and programs which likely will be developed by each agency. A policy of dual grants opens the door for serious disputes in the future over the proper role of each agency. We heve been advised also not to accept further applications from two areawide egencies in the same metropolitan area without clearance of such action with the Washington office. It is our interpretation of the information et hand and from discussions with Washington office personnel that the department does not discourage the ereation of two areawide agencies, but that, in the future, it will receive and fund applications from only one such agency. We understand that one areawide agency may file an application for the work program of the second- agency and contract the work back to it. in view of the current relationship existing between Metropolitan Atlanta Council of Local Governments and Atlanta Region Metropolitan Planning Commission, consideration should be given eat an early date as to the future organizational arrangements for submittal of ae administration of UPA applications, We will be pleased to meet with representatives of both agencies as may be required, Sincerely yours, J : i | Th /] {/ Hs, J oa hs ity) (fit td (KS LY [Ut =e dif x, Frederick smith’ Assistant Regional Administrator Program Coordination and Services Division  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
