The following format is suggested for the Wednesday meeting:
1, Mayor briefly state background for formation of National Urban Coalition.

(b) The need for a reordering of priorities to make cities the No, 1
concern of the nation.
(c) Congress not only has an attitude which is freezing urban expenditures,
but is actually cutting back on social programs of long standing. (The
Social Security amendments as passed by the House freezes the number
of aid to families with dependent children to current levels, which
would mean that Atlanta or Fulton County DFCS could certify no more
AFDC cases than the total number at present. )

GUIDELINES FOR LOCAL COALITIONS
The Emergency Convocation of The Urban Coalition has issu e d an urgent
appeal to all concerned American citizens to join with the Coalition
in efforts to fashion a new political, social, economic , an d moral
climate tha t will make possible the breaking of the viciou s cycle of
the ghetto.
Action at the community level must now follo w.
As leaders in your community, your commitment and ingenuity are now
called upon to muster the support and involvement of your fellow
citizens for a ma ssive reordering of priorities and programs in the
face of the urban emergency.
The national Steering Committee of The Urban Coalition is already at
work developing strategy and programs to achieve the goa ls it has set
for itself.
But its focus is primarily on national decision makers and
national priorities and programs.
This will not be enough.
There
must be complementary action a t the local level where ultima te responsibility rests and where urban problems are most clearly perceived.
The Urban Coalition therefore looks to you to initiate formation of a
loca l coa lition in your city or metropolitan area to work in concert
with the n a tiona l Steering Committee in pursuit of common objectives.
OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of the August Emergency Convocation , The Urban
Coa lition a dopt ed a comprehensive Statement of Principles, Goa ls a nd
Commitments.
It i s this document which charts the cours e for our
mutual e f fo r ts.
(A copy of the Statement is enclosed) .
You wil l not e f rom th e Statement that the Coalition h a s identi fie d
s even s pec i f i c a re a s of urban affairs calling for conside rat ion and
�-2action by the Coalition and the country.
Emergency Task Forces have
been created reflecting these problem areas through which the substantive efforts of the Coalition will be channeled.
They are:
1.
Emergency Task Force on Public Service Employment
2.
Emergency Task Force on Private Employment
3.
Emergency Task Force on Educational Disparities
4.
Emergency Task Force on Reconstruction Investment &
Urban Development
5.
Emergency Task Force on Equal Housing Opportunities
6.
Emergency Task Force on Corrnnunications
7.
Emergency Task Force on Local Coalitions
The designated urban concern of each Task Force demands irrnnediate attention and action.
But while such a division of tasks is essential for
efficient organization of the Coalition's endeavors, the very real
functional inter-relationships between the major urban problems must
not be overlooked.
It is the position of The Coalition that given current urban American
conditions, the key to resolving these inter-related problems is a
massive emergency work program of at least one million new public
service-type jobs, developed and financed by the Federal Government,
including new training opportunities for the unemployed and underemployed.
The elements of such an emergency work program are described
in the Statement.
Such a program is a prerequisite to the restoration of economic health
to our cities and hope to the lives of millions of urban Americans.
Equally important is the fact that in the absence of such a governmentally-generated emergency work program even the most enlightened
and massive efforts to improve public education, housing, an -.:1 health
an d we lfare services wi ll meet with failure.
The pervasive social and
economic costs of continued high levels of unemployment and underemploy-
�-3-
ment in our citie s can spell sure disaster to our society.
The alter-
native is to implement a crash national employment program of the
character The Urban Coalition p roposes .
The business o f The Urban Coalition is to induce a complete revision
in the allocation of talent, time, money and resources to meeting the
basic needs of America's cities.
While special emphasis has been
g iven in The Coalition's Statement to the basic need for f ull employment, this is not to minimi z e the urgent needs for new capital investment, revita li zed public educa tion, substanti al increa s es in the
housing supply, more and better urban services and facilities, and
enhanced equal opportunity in housing.
The Statement states that the
"nex t order of business ... sha ll be the devel opment of a broad program
o f urban reconstruction ... including the g oa l of rehabilitation and
construction o f at l east one million housing units for lower-income
families annually ."
All sectors o f Ame ric an s oci e t y have a rol e to pl ay in a ccomplishing
t h e goa ls The Urban Coa li tion h a s propos e d .
Awak ening t hos e s e ct ors
to the emergency at hand and mobilizing them for appropriate action
is the immediat e t a sk.
Essen_tial to The Urban Coalition's perform-
ing tha t t ask i s the f orma ti on of loca l coa li ti ons wh i ch , we hope ,
wi ll fir st, p l e dge the ir s upp ort of the Sta t emen t of Principl es , Goa l s
and Commitments, an d second , work i n concert wi th t h e nation a l St e ering
Committee, with a ll resources ava ilable to them , to accompl ish thes e
goals.
STRATEGY AND AGENDA FOR LOCAL COALITI ONS
As an i n itia l t arget, t h e Stee ring Committ ee o f The Urban Coalition
is r e spondi n g to the r e quests of commun it i es in at l east f if t y major
urb an a r eas for a s s i s tance in the formation of l ocal coal i t i ons by
Novembe r 15 , 1967.
In each o f t h e f i fty communiti e s , a sma ll organi z-
ing committee o f local l eaders is be i ng cal led together.
As is the
cas e with the Steering Committee , the l ocal organi zing committee wil l
�-4be made up o f r ep r e sent at ives from the c ommunity's business, organized
labor, religious, civil rights, educational, local government , and ·
communications leadership.
It is important that the sectors repre-
sented correspond with those represented on the national Steering
Committee so as to be broadly representative of the life of the
community.
In some cases, it may be that coalitions have already been
forme d around such i ssues as jobs, schools or housing.
These groups may
wish to identify with and work with The Urban Coalition.
The loca l or ganizing commit t ee and oth er existing coalit ion groups are
being invited to des i gnate representatives to attend a one-day Local
Urban Coalition Pl anning Session to be held on Tuesday, October 17
1967 in Chicago , Illinois.
The plaming session , convene d by the
~ational Steering Commi tt ee, wi ll dea l ex clus i v e ly with organi za t ion
a nd progr amming o f local coa l it ions.
Further informa tion will be
furnished to you shortly on the subject of the planning s e ssion.
I n no ev en t, h owev e r, s hould t h e organi za t ion of local coalit ion s be
defe r r e d pendin g t h e Chicago p l anning s e ssion.
Time i s of t h e

Where a gen eral , a s contrast e d t o a sing l e i s s ue, coa lit ion is be ing

round ou t represent a tiv e p a rt i cipa tion on a loca l St eering Committ ee .
Secondl y, the St e erin g Commi t t ee should devel op a dra f t Sta t ement of
Princip l es , Goal s , and Commi tments whi ch endorse s the na t ional Sta t emen t and broa dens it to i nclu de ma j or local concerns.
Nex t, conv ening

In those cities wh ere several sing l e
issue coalitions a l ready exist, t h ey may wish to j oin tly conv ene such a
convocation.
�r
-5It is strongly recommended that, both in the initial organizational
phase as well as the post-convocation phase,where new coal i tions are
being formed,the local organizing corrnnittee arrange for a t least one
staff person to work full time on the local coalition.
It is expected
that this staff person could be borrowed from the staff of one of the
participating leaders.
THE LOCAL EMERGENCY CONVOCATION
The local convocation will serve to bring together the significant
corrnnunity leadership and will serve both as an organizing device as
well as a vehicle for arousing and educating the community to the
urban emergency.
The convening of the convocation and the endorsement of a Statement of
Principles will have local and national significance to the extent
t hat the convocation enjoys the participation of the corrnnunity's
leadership representing the same constituencies represented in the
organizing committee .
This is an enterprise requiring as much citizen
support as possible so that community leadership involvement must be
broad and numerically substantial.
The convocation can be focused on the problems of a single c i ty er on
the pr obl ems of the metropolitan area in which it is located, whiche ' e r is f easible and appropriat e .
It is fully expected that the local
c oa l ition and th e convocation will invo lve representatives o f maj or
employers an d un i ons whether their constituents and/or func ~i ons are
in the city or the suburbs.
While the nationa l Urb an Coalition is not able to offer an:· finan cial
ass i stance to loc al organizing committees, it wi ll provide
assistance i n p reparing an d convening the local convocation.
che~
In this
regar d, the October 17th planning conference in Chicago will offer
ori e~ t at ion and counsel on a range of factors pertin ent to succe s sful
�-6local coalitions.
In addition, the Steering Committee has accepted an offer by the
National Institute of Public Affairs to furnish, where des ir e d, technical assistance to local organizing corrnnittees in programmi ng of the
local convocation and subsequent siminars and workshops.
The national
Steering Corrnnittee will also provide speakers, where needed and requested,
in any or all of the substantive areas under consideration by The Ur ban
Coalition Task Forces mentioned earlier.
A necessary outcome of the convocation is endorsement of a minimal
organizational structure to pursue the goals and commitment 6 adopted.
With respect to newly-formed local coalitions, the local structure
should include a steering corrnnittee and a minimum of three t ask forces
to deal with legislation, expansion of private employment,and public
information, respectively.
Beyond the substance of these three task
forces, local groups may set up other work groups.
The nat i onal Urban
Coalition, however, is presently going through program dev e lopment with
its other task forces and will be prepared to coordinate other local
task force action areas in the near future.
Finally, it is contemplated that the local coalitions will pa r t icipate in and help shape the programs of The Urban Coalition .

GUIDELINES FOR LOCAL COALITIONS
The Emergency Convocation of The Urban Coalition has issued an urgent
appeal to all concerned American citizens to join with the Coalition
in efforts to fashion a new political, social, economic, and moral
climate that will make possible the breaking of the vicious cycle of
the ghetto. Action at the community level must now follow.
As leaders in your community, your commitment and ingenuity are now
called upon to muster the support and involvement of your fellow
citizens for a massive reordering of priorities and programs in the
face of the urban emergency.
The national Steering Committee of The Urban Coalition is already at

bility rests and where urban problems are most clearly perceived.
The Urban Coalition therefore looks to you to initiate formation of a
local coalition in your city or metropolitan area to work in concert
with the national Steering Committee in pursuit of common objectives.
OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of the August Emergency Convocation, The Urban
Coalition adopted a comprehensive Statement of Principles, Goals and
Commitments. It is this document which charts the course for our
mutual efforts. (A copy of the Statement is enclosed).
You will note from the Statement that the Coalition has identified
seven specific areas of urban affairs calling for consideration and
ee
action by the Coalition and the country. Emergency Task Forces have
been created reflecting these problem areas through which the substan-
tive efforts of the Coalition will be channeled. They are:
1. Emergency Task Force on Public Service Employment
2. Emergency Task Force on Private Employment
3. Emergency Task Force on Educational Disparities
4
. Emergency Task Force on Reconstruction Investment &
Urban Development
ln
Emergency Task Force on Equal Housing Opportunities
on
Emergency Task Force on Communications
7. Emergency Task Force on Local Coalitions
The designated urban concern of each Task Force demands immediate atten-
tion and action. But while such a division of tasks is essential for
efficient organization of the Coalition's endeavors, the very real
functional inter-relationships between the major urban problems must
not be overlooked,
It is the position of The Coalition that given current urban American
conditions, the key to resolving these inter-related problems is a
massive emergency work program of at least one million new public
service-type jobs, developed and financed by the Federal Government,
including new training opportunities for the unemployed and underem-
ployed, The elements of such an emergency work program are described
in the Statement.
Such a program is a prerequisite to the restoration of economic health
to our cities and hope to the lives of millions of urban Americans.
Equally important is the fact that in the absence of such a govern-
mentally-generated emergency work program even the most enlightened
and massive efforts to improve public education, housing, an: health
and welfare services will meet with failure. The pervasive social and
economic costs of continued high levels of unemployment and underemploy-
ment in our cities can spell sure disaster to our society. The alter-
native is to implement a crash national employment program of the
character The Urban Coalition proposes.
The business of The Urban Coalition is to induce a complete revision
in the allocation of talent, time, money and resources to meeting the
basic needs of America's cities. While special emphasis has been
given in The Coalition's Statement to the basic need for full employ-
ment, this is not to minimize the urgent needs for new capital invest
ment, revitalized public education, substantial increases in the
housing supply, more and better urban services and facilities, and
enhanced equal opportunity in housing. The Statement states that the
"next order of business...shall be the development of a broad program
of urban reconstruction...including the goal of rehabilitation and
construction of at least one million housing units for lower-income
families annually."
All sectors of American society have a role to play in accomplishing
the goals The Urban Coalition has proposed, Awakening those sectors
to the emergency at hand and mobilizing them for appropriate action
is the immediate task. Essential to The Urban Coalition's perform-
ing that task is the formation of local coalitions which, we hope,
will first, pledge their support of the Statement of Principles, Goals
and Commitments, and second, work in concert with the national Steering
Committee, with all resources available to them, to accomplish these
goals,
STRATEGY AND AGENDA FOR LOCAL COALITIONS
As an initial target, the Steering Committee of The Urban Coalition
is responding to the requests of communities in at least fifty major
urban areas for assistance in the formation of local coalitions by
November 15, 1967. In each of the fifty communities, a small organiz-
ing committee of local leaders is being called together. As is the
case with the Steering Committee, the local organizing committee will
niin
be made up of representatives from the community's business, organized
labor, religious, civil rights, educational, local government, and
communications leadership. It is important that the sectors repre-
sented correspond with those represented on the national Steering
Committee so as to be broadly representative of the life of the
community. In some cases, it may be that coalitions have already been
formed around such issues as jobs, schools or housing. These groups may
wish to identify with and work with The Urban Coalition.
The local organizing committee and other existing coalition groups are
being invited to designate representatives to attend a one-day Local
Urban Coalition Planning Session to be held on Tuesday, October 17
1967 in Chicago, Illinois. The plamming session, convened by the
national Steering Committee, will deal exclusively with organization
and programming of local coalitions. Further information will be
furnished to you shortly on the subject of the planning session.
In no event, however, should the organization of local coalitions be
deferred pending the Chicago planning session. Time is of the
essence,
Where a general, as contrasted to a single issue, coalition is being
formed the first order of business for the organizing committee is to
round out representative participation on a local Steering Committee.
Secondly, the Steering Committee should develop a draft Statement of
Principles, Goals, and Commitments which endorses the national State-
ment and broadens it to include major local concerns. Next, convening
of an emergency convocation of the local coalition to review and adopt
a Statement of Goals and develop plans for implementation might be
undertaken. This convocation, patterned after the national Emergency
Convocation held in August, should be called as soon as possible, hope-
fully, no later than mid-November. In those cities where several single
issue coalitions already exist, they may wish to jointly convene such a
convocation.
fn
It is strongly recommended that, both in the initial organizational
phase as well as the post-convocation phase,where new coalitions are
being formed,the local organizing committee arrange for at least one
staff person to work full time on the local coalition. It is expected
that this staff person could be borrowed from the staff of one of the
participating leaders.
THE LOCAL EMERGENCY CONVOCATION
The local convocation will serve to bring together the significant
community leadership and will serve both as an organizing device as
well as a vehicle for arousing and educating the community to the
urban emergency.
The convening of the convocation and the endorsement of a Statement of
Principles will have local and national significance to the extent
that the convocation enjoys the participation of the community's
leadership representing the same constituencies represented in the
organizing committee, This is an enterprise requiring as much citizen
support as possible so that community leadership involvement must be
broad and numerically substantial.
The convocation can be focused on the problems of a single city cr on
the problems of the metropolitan area in which it is located, which-
ever is feasible and appropriate. It is fully expected that the local
coalition and the convocation will involve representatives of majcr
employers and unions whether their constituents and/or functions are
in the city or the suburbs.
While the national Urban Coalition is not able to offer any financial
assistance to local organizing committees, it will provide che~
assistance in preparing and convening the local convocation. In this
regard, the October 17th planning conference in Chicago will offer
orientation and counsel on a range of factors pertinent to successful
local coalitions.
In addition, the Steering Committee has accepted an offer by the
National Institute of Public Affairs to furnish, where desired, tech-
nical assistance to local organizing committees in programming of the
local convocation and subsequent siminars and workshops. The national
Steering Committee will also provide speakers, where needed and requested,
in any or all of the substantive areas under consideration by The Urban
Coalition Task Forces mentioned earlier.
A necessary outcome of the convocation is endorsement of a minimal
organizational structure to pursue the goals and commitments adopted.
With respect to newly-formed local coalitions, the local structure
should include a steering committee and a minimum of three task forces
to deal with legislation, expansion of private employment, and public
information, respectively. Beyond the substance of these three task
forces, local groups may set up other work groups. The national Urban
Coalition, however, is presently going through program development with
its other task forces and will be prepared to coordinate other local
task force action areas in the near future.
Finally, it is contemplated that the local coalitions will vartici-
pate in and help shape the programs of The Urban Coalition

THE URBAN COALITION
1819 H Street, N.W.
Wa~hington, 0. C. 20006
October, 1967
GUIDELINES FOR LOCAL COALITIONS
On August 24 in ~ashington, D. C., the Emergen~y Convocation
of The Urban Coalition issued an urgent appeal to all
concerned American citizens to join with the Coalition in
efforts to fashion a new political, social, economic, and
moral climate that will make possible the breaking of the
vicious cycle of th~ ghetto.
Action at the community level
must now follow.
As leaders in your community, your commitment and ingenuity
are no~ called upon to mµster the support and involvement of
your fellow citizens for a massive reordering of both
national and local priorities in the face of the unresolvep
urban emer~ency,
The Urban Coalition looks to you to initiate formation of a
local coalition in your city or metropolitan area to work in
concert wi~h the National Steering Committee in pursuit of
common objectives.
�- 2 -
OBJECTIVES
At the conclusion of the August Emergency Convocation, The
Urban Coalition adopted a comprehensive Statement of
Principles, Goals and Commitments.
It is this document which
charts the course for our mutual efforts.
(A copy of the
Statement is enclosed.)
You will note from the Statement that the Coalition has
identified seven specific areas of urban affairs calling for
action by the Coalition and the nation.
Emergency Task Forces
have been created reflecting these problem areas .
They are:
l.
Emergency Task Force on Public Service Employment
2.
Emergency Task Force on Private Employment and
Entrepreneurship
3.
Emergency Task Force on Educational Disparities
4.
Emergency Task Force on Housing Reconstruction and
Investment
5.
Emergency Task Force on Equal Housing Opportunities
6.
Emergency Ta sk Force on Communications and Public
Support
7.
Emergency Task Force on Local Coalitions
The St a tem e nt of Goal s adopt ed by th e Coalition mak es c l ea r
t, ha t th e key to r e s olv i ng the se inte r- r e lated probl ems is a
mass ive em erge ncy work program of a t least on e ~illion ne w
public ser vice-ty pe jo bs, de ve lop ed a nd fi nance d by the Federal
Go vernment, incl uding new training opportunities for the
�- 3 -
unemployed and underemployed.
The elements of such an
emergency work program are described in the Statement.
Such a program is a prerequis~te to the restoration of
economic health to our cities and hope to the lives of
millions of urban Americans.
The pervasive social and
economic costs of continued high levels of unemployment
and underemployment in our cities can spell further disaster
to our society .
The alternative is to implement a crash,
national, employment program of the character The Urban
Coalition proposes.
The business of The Urban Coalition is to induce a complete
revision in the allocation of talent, time, money and
resources to meet i ng the basic needs of America's cities .
While special emphasis has been given in The Coalition's
Statement to the basic need for full employment, this is not
to minimize the urgent needs for new capital investment,
revitalized publ i c education, substantial increases in the
housing supply, mo r e and better urban services and facilities,
and en hanced equal opportunity in housing.
The Statement adds
that the " next or der of business .. . shall be the development
of a broad prog r am of urban reconstruction .. . including the goal
of r ehabilitation and construction of at least one million
ho us i n g uni ts for l owe r - i n come fa mi l i es an nu a l l y . 11

All sectors of American society have a role to play in accomplishing the goals The Urban Coalition has proposed.
Awakening
those sectors to the emergency at hand and mobilizing them for
appropriate action is the immediate task.
Essential to The
Urban Coalition s performing that task is the formation of
1
local coalitions which will first, pledge their suppbrt of the
Statement of Principles, Goals and Commitments, and second,
work in concert with the National Steering Committee, with all
resources available to them, to accomplish these go~l~.
STRATEGY AND AGENDA FOR LOCAL COALITIONS
As an initial target, the Steering Committee of The Urban
Co glition is responding to the requests of communities in at
least f i f ty major urban areas for assistance in the formation
of local coalitions by the end of November, 1967.
As is the
case with the Steering Committee, these local organ j zing
committees will be made u~ of representatives from the commDnity s
1
bu s ines s, or ganized labor, religious, civil rights, educational,
~
-
~-- -
local govern ment, and communications leadership.
.,---
It is important
t hat the sectors represented correspond with those represented
on the National Steering Committee so as to be broadly
repres e ntative of the life of the community.
In some cases , it
may be that coa l itions have already been f ormed aroun d such issues
as j obs , schools or housing .
These existing group s m~y wis h t o
iden ti fy wi th a nd work with The Urban Coalition .

committee is to round out representative participation on a
local Steering Committee.
Secondly, the Steering Committee
should develop a draft Statement of Principles, Goals, and
Commitments which endorses the national Statement and broadens
it to include major local concerns.
In those cities where
several single issue coalitions already exist, they _may wish to
jointly create a steering committee to work with the National
Steering Committee.
It is strongly recommended that, where new coalitions are being
formed, the local organizing committee arrange for at least one
staff person to work . full time for the local coalition.
It is
likely that this staff person could be borrowed from the staff
of one of the participating elements of the coalition.
While
the National Steering Committee is not able to offer any financial
assistance to local organizing committees, it will provide other
assistance in preparing and convening local coalition activities.
In addition, the Steering Committee has accepted an offe r by the
National Institute of Public Affairs to furnish, where desired,
technical assistance to local organizing committees in program ming of local convocations and subsequent seminars and workshops
on urban affairs.

The Mational Steering Committee will also

With respect to ne wly-formed local coalitions, it is expected
that the local structure wi ll include a steering committee and
task forces to deal wi th national urban legislation, ex pan ~i on
of private employment, housing, educat i on and public
information.
Finally, it is contemp l ated that the local coalitions will
pa r ticipate in a nd help shape the prog r ams of The Ur ban Coalition
through a Council of Urban Coal i tions .
Each city should pl an to
-
designate two r e pres entatives to serve on this national Council.
At its f i rst meeting to be held before the end of th i s year, the
Council will elect t wo rep r esentatives to serve on The National
Steering Committee and will continue to advise The Na t ional
Stee ri ng Committee on policies that are of national conce rn .
By definit i on, a coa l ition, whether it be single purpose or
otherwise, is an as s oc i ation of constituencies fo r so me ag r eed

a nd s tr uctu r e d en tity .

case of uninc orp orated l oca l coa l iti ons , fun ds may be channe l ed

�- 7 At this point it is appropriate to mention in connection with
those local groups that choose to incorporate, that careful
attention should be given to weighing the advantages and
disadvantages of seeking tax exempt status under Section
/
50l(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code .
Perhaps one of the most
important considerations in reaching a determination on _whether
to seek tax exempt status is the f act that organizations enjoying
such status are not in a position to attempt to influence the
decisions of legislative bodies.
Given the potential importance
of this fact for any organization attempting to deal in a
comprehensive way with the range of urban problems, careful
deliberation of this subject is in order on the local level before
a decision is taken with respect to tax status.
Members of the
steering committees of such tax exempt organizations may nonetheless make appeals for legislation if they are acting as individuals.

1819 H Street, N.W.
Washington, D. C. 20006
October, 1967
GUIDELINES FOR LOCAL COALITIONS

of The Urban Coalition issued an urgent appeal to all
concerned American citizens to join with the Coalition in

At the conclusion of the August Emergency Convocation, The
Urban Coalition adopted a comprehensive Statement of
Principles, Goals and Commitments. It is this document which
charts the course for our mutual efforts. (A copy of the

You will note from the Statement that the Coalition has

have been created reflecting these problem areas. They are:
1. Emergency Task Force on Public Service Employment
2. Emergency Task Force on Private Employment and

3. Emergency Task Force on Educational Disparities
4. Emergency Task Force on Housing Reconstruction and
Investment
§. Emergency Task Force on Equal Housing Opportunities
6. Emergency Task Force on Communications and Public
Support
7. Emergency Task Force on Local Coalitions
The Statement of Goals adopted by the Coalition makes clear
that the key to resolving these inter-related problems is a
massive emergency work program of at least one million new
public service-type jobs, developed and financed by the Federal
Government, including new training opportunities for the
unemployed and underemployed. The elements of such an
emergency work program are described in the Statement.
Such a program is a prerequisite to the restoration of
economic health to our cities and hope to the lives of
millions of urban Americans. The pervasive social and
economic costs of continued high levels of unemployment
and underemployment in our cities can spell further disaster
to our society. The alternative is to implement a crash,
national, employment program of the character The Urban

The business of The Urban Coalition is to induce a complete
revision in the allocation of talent, time, money and

While special emphasis has been given in The Coalition's
Statement to the basic need for full employment, this is not
to minimize the urgent needs for new capital investment,
revitalized public education, substantial increases in the
housing supply, more and better urban services and facilities,
and enhanced equal opportunity in housing. The Statement adds
that the “next order of business...shall be the development
of a broad program of urban reconstruction...including the goal
of rehabilitation and construction of at least one million
housing units for lower-income families annually."
All sectors of American society have a role to play in accom-
plishing the goals The Urban Coalition has proposed. Awakening
those sectors to the emergency at hand and mobilizing them for
appropriate action is the immediate task. Essential to The
Urban Coalition's performing that task is the formation of
local coalitions which will first, pledge their support of the
Statement of Principles, Goals and Commitments, and second,
work in concert with the National Steering Committee, with all
resources available to them, to accomplish these goals.
STRATEGY AND AGENDA FOR LOCAL COALITIONS
As an initial target, the Steering Committee of The Urban
Coalition is responding to the requests of communities in at
least fifty major urban areas for assistance in the formation
of local coalitions by the end of November, 1967. As is the
case with the Steering Committee, these local organizing
committees will be made up of representatives from the community's
business, organized labor, religious, civil rights, educational,
eee EY —_——_— —
local government, and communications leadership. It is important
—— —————————
ts eee
that the sectors represented correspond with those represented
on the National Steering Committee so as to be broadly
representative of the life of the community. In some cases, it
may be that coalitions have already been formed around such issues
as jobs, schools or housing. These existing groups may wish to
identify with and work with The Urban Coalition.
Where a general, as contrasted to a single issue, coalition is
being formed, the first order of business for the organizing
AL
wy committee is to round out representative participation on a
SA local Steering Committee. Secondly, the Steering Committee
‘ wr

a i .
oe formed, the local organizing committee arrange for at least one
v °y staff person to work full time for the local coalition. It is
y
vs likely that this staff person could be borrowed from the staff
of one of the participating elements of the coalition. While
the National Steering Committee is not able to offer any financial
assistance to local organizing committees, it will provide other
assistance in preparing and convening local coalition activities.
In addition, the Steering Committee has accepted an offer by the

a
With respect to newly-formed local coalitions, it is expected
that the local structure will include a steering committee and
task forces to deal with national urban legislation, expangion
of private employment, housing, education and public
information.
Finally, it is contemplated that the local coalitions will
participate in and help shape the programs of The Urban Coalition
through a Council of Urban Coalitions. Each city should plan to
oe —_
designate two representatives to serve on this national Council.
At its first meeting to be held before the end of this year, the
Council will elect two representatives to serve on The National
Steering Committee and will continue to advise The National
Steering Committee on policies that are of national concern.
By definition, a coalition, whether it be single purpose or
otherwise, iS an association of constituencies for some agreed
purposes and not at all necessarily a formally organized, regulated
and structured entity. Local coalitions, whether single purpose
or otherwise, may, therefore, be associations of leadership from
\ already organized structures and sectors of communities. It is
not necessary, although in some cases it may be desirable, for a
local group to formally incorporate a local coalition. The
national Urban Coalition has not chosen to incorporate. In the
case of unincorporated local coalitions, funds may be channeled
through a separate fiscal agent such as a cooperating organization,
\
At this point it is appropriate to mention in connection with}
those local groups that choose to incorporate, that careful
attention should be given to weighing the advantages and
disadvantages of seeking tax exempt status under Section /

important considerations in reaching a determination on. whether
to seek tax exempt status is the fact that organizations enjoying

a decision is taken with respect to tax status. Members of the

less make appeals for legislation if they are acting as individuals.

Although the Task Force is addressing itself to problems on the
national level much of the success of the program wiil devend on
the development of local private exployment tasx forces, and the
commitments eee, by the private sector. Thus, the discussion on
private employment might well focus on organizing the private sector

for action on ‘the local leve
i ‘
The local task forces should consist of high-level leagershio from
a cross section of the private sector and have sufficient resources,
including staff, to develop and imolement programs. The task force
should function as a working comm ¢, althougn tne actual duties
may be assigned to staff personnel and specialists.

Since each communi ty may wish to aporoach the prosien ciffterently,
approvriats information snovld be ceveloped to assist the tas

1. An assessment of the unemployment and nt
problems in the comunity.
2. An inventory of manpower srograms in oseration.

iV. PBPUSLIC SUPPORT
The Task Force on Communications and Public Support is currentiy
working owt a program aimed at launching a national educational
campaign through tne Advertising Council. In addition, individual
efforts are being lunched with key elements of the mass media aimed
at emphasizing teh nature of the urban crisis. Local counterpart
task forces can greatiy assist this effort and should, if possible,
irectivy and soersonally invoive reoresentatives of the mass media
on a-local basis.
See Discussion Paner and Guidelines for Local Coalitions
DISCUSSION PROCEDURES
<j
FI
We are expecting approximately 300 participants Grawn from fifty
to sixty communities. Most will not have gone very tar toward
organizing local coalition activities. The participants w be
Givided into five workshop groups. Hach discussion grous will aave
a chairman ané four resource consultants. It is exsected that eacn
Giscussion group will address itself to two topics in the morning
workshovs (the review of the national legislative picture atiecting
cities and a review of onsortunities for and metnocs of exnanding
private emplovment) and two tosics in the afternoon (housing and
reconstruction problems and ways of develoving public support and
local ccalitions).
Tnere are only two key concerns that the National Steering Co
now has concerning local coalitions. One that we expect t:
to take different forms because of local iztions ana the o
is that we expect their governing boards @ representative,
including the elsments represented on the National Steering Committee
(business, labor, local government, religion, civil rights and
ecucation). Our official view is that we exvect locai coalitions
to include leadership from the ghettos and barrios. Two réoresen-
tatives from local coalitions’ will be elected to serve on the
Steering Committee by a Council of Urban Coalitions to se fornea
later this year :
Local coalitions, local task forces ad special srotects ssonsored
by the national task forces will provide full oovortunity for the
particivation of interested citizens in achieving the goals of the
Coalition. The posture of the Steering Comnittee is that we wel
comes support for the Statement of Principles, Goais, and Commitments
and we exoect local coalition is to expand on these orincioles
through local efforts and in consultation witn the National Stsering
Committee tarough the Council of Urban Coalitions.
The worksho> chairmen and resource consultants shoulé stress the
importance of mobilizing national support for a greater alloca-
tion of both public and private resources to deal with the sro-
bliems of the center-cities. The resource peodie bear an esseciaily
Neavy resvonsibility--to intetoret the enormity and complexity
= this undertaking.. Stress must be placed on the fact that Congrass
is currently not responding to the need as the Coalition sees it.
While encouraging the expansion of private initiative, stress must
be placed on the critical importance of public policy, equal oppor=
tunity and federal dollars.

MEMORANDUM
To:
Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.
From:
Subject:
Dan Sweat
Organization of Local Urban Coalitions
A priority goal of the Steering Committee of the National
Urban Coalition is the establishment of strong local coalitions
in the 50 largest urban cities of the nation. This is, of
course, essential to the very life bloo_d of any sustained
effort to develop a meaningful coalition which can speak
for urban America as a whole.
The direction taken by these local coalitions will depend upon
the individual city or urban area and the wishes of the local
leadership. We can safely predict they will take on a wide
variety of shapes and forms from city to city.
The more I analyze the alternatives to organization of a
coalition in Atlanta, the more I am convinced we already
have several single-purpose groups functioning in this
very capacity. I believe the identification of these groups
as our coalition might reduce or negate the requirement
for establishment of any other body, although I believe at
some point a leadership meeting should be held to explain
the Urban Coalition.
�Mayor Allen
Page Two
October 11, 1967
Probably the be st example of a local coalition organized to
attack a particular problem area is the Board of Directors
of Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc. This group, originally
appointed by the governing authorities of the City of Atlanta
and Fulton County, and now operating under a non-profit
charter, clearly represents the six broad areas of Business,
Labor, Civil Rights, Education, Religion and Local Government,
which make up the national coalition. (A copy of the E OA Board
is attached. )
A second group organized around a single -purpose is the
Housing Resources Committee. (Copy of Committee Structure
attached. )
. Other groups which would fall in this category would be the
Community Relations Commission, Atlanta Youth Council,
and the Citizens Advisory Committee on Urban Renewal.
(Copies of CRC, AYC and CACUR Board members attached.)
Each of these groups is organized to perform in an area of
primary concern to the national coalition; EOA - Poverty;
Housing Resources Committee - Low Income Housing;
Community Relations Commission - Civil Rights; CACUR Urban Redevelopment.
The final Model Cities Executive Board - Technical Advisory
Committee - Citizens Advisory Committee structure will provide
for another coalition of individuals and groups designed to
produce cooperative action in planning and implementing the
Model Cities Program. (Copies of proposed Board and
Committee Structure attached.)
It is readily apparent that no recognized local group is
established for the specific pnrpose of developing employment opportunities for the poor. While a large part of
EOA's program is designed to reduce unemployment and
�..
Mayor Allen
Page Three
October 11, 1967
underemployment, no broadly-based organization currently
exists which can function in a capacity which will bear the
local responsibility for meeting the national Urban Coalition
goal of one million jobs for the poor. (This was the first
announced goal of the Urban Coalition. )
I believe, however, that a project in the works during the last
eighteen months by the City of Atlanta, EOA, the Community
Council, Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and the Sears-Roebuck
Foundation might have produced the mechanism for creation
of a coalition on employment opportunities.
This group has met informally at least once a month during
this time in an effort to produce a color slide presentation
on problems and opportunities for employment of the poor.
The Sears-Roebuck Foundation financed the employment of
a top advertising agency to assemble the materials and design
the presentation under the supervision of the informal group.
The presentation is now completed and Mr. Lucien Oliver of
Sears will, in the next three or four weeks, invite a select
group of key business executives to a luncheon to be exposed
to this production. He is expected to ask each of these
executives to sponsor luncheons for a wider group of businessmen in an effort to disseminate the information to as many
firms as possible.
The businessmen will also be encouraged to direct their
personnel management to become better informed on the
problems of unemployment and uncle remployment among the
poor and to investigate all possibilities for providing entry
level jobs for additional employees who lack skills and
training .

This will fit perfectly into the scheme of the national coalition,
which is encouraging the top executives of the large national
firms to direct their plants throughout the country to do essentially
the same thing. (There has already been some definite response
to this program. I have had an indication from Sears and Ford
offices here that the word has already come from the top.) .
In view of the impending National Steering Committee C onference
on Employment here in November, I am encouraging the meeting
of the first group by Mr. Oliver be held in advance of the
Coalition. I believe this initial group should be considered
as the local coalition and worked into the National Conference.
I recommend that you ask Mr. Oliver to attend or send Dan
Garies or Bob W o od to the October 17 all-day meeting on
local coalitions in Chicago. I would also recommend that I
attend as your representative and that you ask Vernon Jordan
to represent us in the area of Civil Rights. Vernon is on loan
to the Urban C o alition staff and will be in attendance and is
more aware of what is going on than any other individual from
Atlanta.
I also would hope that at a very early date we can show you the
employment presentation and get your ideas on how we can
provide follow-up.

MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.
From: Dan Sweat
Subject: Organization of Local Urban Coalitions
A priority goal of the Steering Committee of the National
Urban Coalition is the establishment of strong local coalitions
in the 50 largest urban cities of the nation. This is, of
course, essential to the very life blood of any sustained
effort to develop a meaningful coalition which can speak
for urban America as a whole.
The direction taken by these local coalitions will depend upon
the individual city or urban area and the wishes of the local
leadership. We can safely predict they will take on a wide
variety of shapes and forms from city to city.
The more I analyze the alternatives to organization of a
coalition in Atlanta, the more I am convinced we already
have several single-purpose groups functioning in this
very capacity. I believe the identification of these groups
as our coalition might reduce or negate the requirement
for establishment of any other body, although I believe at
some point a leadership meeting should be held to explain
the Urban Coalition.
Mayor Allen
Page Two
October ll, 1967
Probably the best example of a local coalition organized to
_attack a particular problem area is the Board of Directors
of Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc. This group, originally
appointed by the governing authorities of the City of Atlanta
and Fulton County, and now operating under a non-profit
charter, clearly represents the six broad areas of Business,
Labor, Civil Rights, Education, Religion and Local Government,
which make up the national coalition. (A copy of the EOA Board
is attached. )
A second group organized around a single-purpose is the
Housing Resources Committee. (Copy of Committee Structure
attached. )
Other groups which would fall in this category would be the
Community Relations Commission, Atlanta Youth Council,
and the Citizens Advisory Committee on Urban Renewal.
(Copies of CRC, AYC and CACUR Board members attached. )
Each of these groups is organized to perform in an area of
primary concern to the national coalition; EOA - Poverty;
Housing Resources Committee - Low Income Housing;
Community Relations Commission - Civil Rights; CACUR -
Urban Redevelopment.
The final Model Cities Executive Board - Technical Advisory
Committee - Citizens Advisory Committee structure will provide
for another coalition of individuals and groups designed to
produce cooperative action in planning and implementing the
Model Cities Program. (Copies of proposed Board and
Committee Structure attached. )
It is readily apparent that no recognized local group is
established for the specific purpose of developing employ-
ment opportunities for the poor. While a large part of
EOA's program is designed to reduce unemployment and
Mayor Allen
Page Three
October ll, 1967
underemployment, no broadly-based organization currently
exists which can function in a capacity which will bear the
local responsibility for meeting the national Urban Coalition
goal of one million jobs for the poor. (This was the first
announced goal of the Urban Coalition. )
I believe, however, that a project in the works during the last
eighteen months by the City of Atlanta, EOA, the Community
Council, Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and the Sears-Roebuck
Foundation might have produced the mechanism for creation
of a coalition on employment opportunities.
This group has met informally at least once a month during
this time in an effort to produce a color slide presentation
on problems and opportunities for employment of the poor.
The Sears-Roebuck Foundation financed the employment of
a top advertising agency to assemble the materials and design
the presentation under the supervision of the informal group.
The presentation is now completed and Mr. Lucien Oliver of
Sears will, in the next three or four weeks, invite a select
group of key business executives to a luncheon to be exposed
to this production, He is expected to ask each of these
executives to sponsor luncheons for a wider group of business -
men in an effort to disseminate the information to as many
firms as possible.
The businessmen will also be encouraged to direct their
personnel management to become better informed on the
problems of unemployment and underemployment among the
poor and to investigate all possibilities for providing entry
level jobs for additional employees who lack skills and
training.

of the communications industry in promoting public understanding of the urban crisis and urging Congress to "move without
delay on urban problems."
LOCAL COALITIONS
In response to requests from communities across the country ,
the Task Force on Local Coalitions sponsored a one-day planning
conference on "Mobilizing Urban Coalitions" on October 17 in
Chicago. Two hundred and fifty leaders in local government ,
business, labor , religion and civil rights--from 52 cities-attended.

�-2As of October 31, local coalitions were moving toward affiliation
in Detroit, New York, Gary, Indianapolis, Minneapolis and Atlanta.
Other communities across the nation are also apparently beginning
to move. In California, for example, the League of California
Cities. at its recent annual convention, called upon all California
cities to establish urban coalitions . Fresno and San Diego
sponsored the resolution and announced they were taking action in
their communities . Similar word has been received from such
diverse areas as Newark, Chatanooga , Denver, Phoenix, both Kansas
Cities , Washington, D. C. and Seattle.
PRIVATE EMPLOYMENT
&
ENTREPRENEURSHIP
The Task Force on Private Employment has been contacting individual businessmen, business organizations, labor unions and civic
groups for ideas on the role private industry and unions can play
in meeting the problems of unemployment and underemployment in
our cities. Ideas are being exchanged , case histories are being
developed and guidelines for suggested local action are currently
being prepared. Officials of the National Industr ial Conference
Board are cooperating with The Urban Coalition in developing plans
for a national clearing-house on hard-core unemployment and
training pr ojects.
Two meetings have been scheduled-- in Baltimore and Detroit--to
examine in detail different local approaches to this pr oblem .
The Baltimore meeting (Nov. 14) will concentrate on how Negr o
bus iness opportunities can be expanded through sub- contracting
with industry . The Detroit meeting (Nov. 21) wi ll emphasize

McGraw-Hill Publications has scheduled a special supplement
on urban problems which will appear in January in all forty
of thier publications. This is only the second time in their
history that McGraw-Hill has undertaken such a project. A
special supplement to City magazine on the August Convocation
has been sent to all those who attended and is receiving wide
national distribution.
Press support for the Coalition continues strong. Since the
August Emergency Convocation, editorials supporting the Coalition's goals and principles have appeared in some 70 newspapers
and magazines. In addition, news stories have appeared in a
wide variety of dailies, weeklies, and magazines , including
business journals, labor union papers, religious publications
and the Negro press.
(See sample clips)
LEGISLATION
On October 23 , Coalition Co-Chairmen Andrew Heiskell and
A. Philip Randolph wired members of the House-Senate Conference Committee on Independent Offices Appropriations urging
that they support the Senate's recommendation of $637 million
for funding the model cities program (the House had approved
$237) and $40 million for funding rent supplements (the House
had killed the program). In final action , model cities
received $312 million and rent supplements received $10 million.
In the i r wire , Heiskell and Randolph reminded members of the
Committee that 1 , 200 national leader s gathered at the Coalition's Augu s t Convocation in Washington had unanimously
declar ed :
"Congr e s s must move wit hout delay on ur ban pr ogr ams.

EQUAL HOUSING
Mr. James W. Cook, President of the Illinois Bell Telephone
Company, has accepted the co-chairmanship of the Task Force
on Equal Housing Opportunities. Representatives of the Task
Force Co-Chairmen are exploring the current private2and

government investment situation, and the effect of government
housing and financing programs on plans for metropolitan open
housing. The group is also surveying the experiences of existing
fair housing groups and determining how this Task Force can
relate its work to the local coalition movement. Particular
emphasis is being paid the problem of new lower-income housing
in suburban areas on an open occupancy basis.
A national action session for some 300 suburban fair housing
councils is planned for early next year in Chicago. The Leadership Council for Metropolitan Open Communities, under the
Chairmanship of C. Virgil Martin, President of Carson, Pirie
Scott and Company will serve as the local host.
EDUCATIONAL DISPARITIES
Expansion of this Task Force is under way, work areas are
being defined, and technical resources are being surveyed.
Representatives of the Task Force Co-Chairmen met following
the October 9 Steering Committee to discuss Task Force goals:
particular attention was paid to ways in which the Task Force
can relate to efforts of local coalitions to deal with educational problems.
A full Task Force meeting will take place November 7 in
_New York.
HOUSING RECONSTRUCTION
AND
INVESTMENT
Representatives of the Task Force Co-Chairmen have met twice

URBAN COALITION: NEWEST WEAPON TO FIGHT SLUMS
NEW ALLIANCE BETWEEN DIFFERENT
By FREDERICK GRAVES
While the long, hot summer of 1967 is now a part of the
past, concerned persons are attempting to pool their resources and reorganize their thinking and values, hoping
to prevent the predicted long , hot summer of 1968 from
becoming a part of the future . To accomplish this monumental task a new alliance between leaders in civil rights,
religion, business. labor and local governments was
formed . It is called The Urban Coalition, and some look
upon it as one of the last measures available to save our
cities.
On August 24, after clean-up crews in Newark and Detroit had begun to clear their rubble-filled streets, Urban
Coalition leaders held what they termed an emergency
convocation. One thousand delegates attended the session
at the Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D. C. , and they
represented all groups that have strong interests in the
survival of the cities.
GROUPS COULD SAVE U. S. CITIES
The Urban Coalition is co-chaired by Negro labor leader
A. Philip Randolph, president of the Brotherhood of Sleepi~g Car Porters, and Andrew Heiskell, board chairman of
Time, Inc . At the emergency convocation they were joined
by rights leaders Roy Wilkins and Whitney Young Jr. The
business community was represented by Asa T . Spaulding,
president of North Carolina Mutual Insurance Co.; Gerald
L. Phillippe, board chairman of the General Electric Co.,
and Henry Ford II, board chairman of the Ford Motor Co.
Labor representatives included Walter Reuther of the
United Auto Workers ; George Meany, AFL-CIO president,
and I. W. Abel, United Steelworkers president. From the
religious community were Rabbi Jacob P. Rudin, president of the Synagogue Council of America; Archbishop

co-chairman of the national Coalition's Task Force on
Communications and Public Support. He helped set the
tone for the day when he told the registrants : "We are
engaged here .in creating a will that speaks not so much
to Negroes but to the fundamental issue of the meaning

about the Negro but a decision about America. It is not a
decision about civil rights but a decision about the future
of the city."

One of the main objectives of the Coalition is to organize a force strong enough to move, sh ake, push 8:nd
prod Congress into passing much needed legislation which
can alleviate some of the problems faced by cities. These
include retraining programs, the Model Cities plan and
adequate welfare financing without strict, inflexible rules
which prohibit funds going to those who need it most_.
At the Chicago session registrants attended a senes of
workshops which included pan els composed of top-flight
Negroes in governmental agencies and social ":'elfare
groups. They included Vernon Jordan of Atlanta, dir~ctor
of the voter education project of the Southern Regional
council ; Melvin Mister of Washington, D. C., director of
the D. C. Redevelopment Land Agency; A. Donald Bourgeois, general manager of the St. Louis Model Cities p_rogram; Mrs. Frank Williams of Indianapolis, representing
the League of Women Voters Education Fund, and Clifton
w. Henry, a community services representative from the
U.S. Mayors Conference, Washington.
Henry said that up 'ti! now there has been no will on
the part of cities to deal effectively with their problems:
One of the big questions is, "Will The Urban Coaht10n
be able to get cities to stop playing politics and start planning creative programs to help their ghetto residents become a part of the predominant affluent society?" In
short, "Can America be saved?"

Different cities are handling the mobilization of local
coalition in different ways. Chicago, for example, is not
planning to make an effort for such action. Its mayor,
Richard J . Daley, said the city has always had such a coalition between business, labor, religion, etc. Then Daley
ticked off a list of city agencies and commissions which h e
said encompass all walks of the city's life.
In Minneapolis, Minn., Mayor Arthur Naftalin admitted
to some failures in his city and said members of the militant Negro community should be consulted and asked to
take an active part in local coalition groups. "If we can't
close the gap between young militants and the established
community, it will destroy us," h e warned.

URBAN COALITION: NEWEST WEAPON TO FIGHT SLUMS
NEW ALLIANCE BETWEEN DIFFERENT
By FREDERICK GRAVES
While the long, hot summer of 1967 is now a part of the
past, concerned persons are attempting to pool their re-
sources and reorganize their thinking and values, hoping
to prevent the predicted long, hot summer of 1968 from
becoming a part of the future. To accomplish this monu-
mental task a new alliance between leaders in civil rights,
religion, business, labor and local governments was
formed. It is called The Urban Coalition, and some look
upon it as one of the last measures available to save our
cities.
On August 24, after clean-up crews in Newark and De-
troit had begun to clear their rubble-filled streets, Urban
Coalition leaders held what they termed an emergency
convocation. One thousand delegates attended the session
at the Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D. C., and they
represented all groups that have strong interests in the
survival of the cities.
In Washington (1) Heiskell talks with Lindsay; in Chicago,
Lincoln, Neb., Mayor Samuel Schwartzkopj and Saginaw, Mich.,
Negro Mayor Henry Marsh.

GROUPS COULD SAVE U. S. CITIES
The Urban Coalition is co-chaired by Negro labor leader
A. Philip Randolph, president of the Brotherhood of Sleep-
ing Car Porters, and Andrew Heiskell, board chairman of
Time, Inc. At the emergency convocation they were joined
by rights leaders Roy Wilkins and Whitney Young Jr. The
business community was represented by Asa T. Spaulding,
president of North Carolina Mutual Insurance Co.: Gerald
L. Phillippe, board chairman of the General Electric Co.,
and Henry Ford II, board chairman of the Ford Motor Co.
Labor representatives included Walter Reuther of the
United Auto Workers; George Meany, AFL-CIO president,
and I. W. Abel, United Steelworkers president. From the
religious community were Rabbi Jacob P. Rudin, presi-
dent of the Synagogue Council of America; Archbishop
John F. Dearden of Detroit, and Dr. Arthur Fleming, presi-
dent of the National Council of Churches.
Local government was represented by the top men—the

Cardinal Urges Coalition
To Meet D.C. Urban Ills
By William R. MacKaye
Wa s hi ngton Pos t S ta ff W r iter
Patrick Cardi nal O'Boylr.
u rged creation ycstcrcl11y o( a
Washington ur ban coal ition to
mee t the cha ll>e ngc of the urban crisis.
At a press con ference, the
Cardi nal:
• Pl edged the support of the
Roma n Cat holic Archdiocese
to a soon-to-be-launched drive
to raisP. a · $2 million Hous ing
De velo pment Fund.
• Said that chur ch officials
arc planning a 1150-unit housing proj ect on a 15-acre tract
at 4th and Edgewood Streets
ne .. t he site now occupied by
S t. Vincent's Home and School.
• Announced that the Archdiocesan Office of Urban Affairs, headed by t h-e R1~v. Geno
Baro ni, will back twu rehabilita tion projects for low-income
~
housing.
• Said that t he Archd iocese
and the Presbyte ry of ', Wash-,
ingto n City (U niter! Presbyccria n) will pool fu nds to remodel a building at 141~ V st.
nw. fo r use as an urban affa irs o ffi ce. T he Presbyte ria n
body will provide $55,000 for
t he j ob, which C a rd i n a I
O'Boyle estimates will c,3t
$100,000.
• Announl'ed t he launching
of a n exte n~ive educationa l
progra m designed to make city
and suburban Catholics sensiti1·c to each others' needs.
Cardinal O'Boyle expanded
by saying that ar ea clergy
wo uld exchange pul pit visits,
followed by special semina rs
and meetings for laymen "to
promote a better understanding of urban affairs a nd com munity relations."
"The aim of the chur ch and
the refore of the Washingto n
Archdiocese," said the Cardinal , "mus t be to build a society which will afford the ordinary citizen and every citizen
the opportuni ty to pursue his
salvation in conditions of life
that are not de basing and exp losive, but human and encouraging."
.'\ t one point, he obser ved
. We're not playing Lady Boun'.
tiful . . . We've got an obligation to do this."
The Archdiocese's efforts in
t erms of housing will include
an unspecified contribution to
the H o u s i n g Development
Fund.
Such a fu nd is necessary
to fi nance Governme nt - subsidized housing projects here. A
fund of $2 million m ight provide the basis for 40,000 new
low - a nd moder ate - income
housing units in the area.
One group already pursuing Feder al aid is the Housing
Development Corp., headed by
the Rev. Channing P hillips of
the United Church of Chr ist.
Mr. Phillips' group, wh ich
h as access to $100,000 in capit al, currently i s sponsoring
construction or rehabilitation
of 2000 housing units.
Mr. Phillips was at t he press
confer ence yesterday, as were
two officials of the proposed
Fund. They are John Nevius,
a lawyer who is one of t he appointees to the new City Council, and Re uben Clark, also a
lawyer .
Cla rk pointed out that the
shortage of equity capital "front money" - now in the
hands of the Housing Development Corp. and similar groups
has limited the area's ability
to take advantage of the low
cost loans available under the
loans to nonprofit corporations
section of the Feder al Housing
Act.
The proposed housing at the
St. Vincent's site would be
financed under that rent subsidy section-Section 221 (D)
3 and would provide a m ix of
apartments for the elderly
public housing uni ts and non~
profit dwellings for families
of low and moderate income.
The Archdiocese is involvin "
itself in t hree other housing
programs.
A group .. of laymen organized in a group known as S ursum Cor da, Inc., working wjt h
St. Aloysi us Church and Gonzaga High School, already has
secured Federal support for
a $3.7 million, 199-un it housing developme nt off North
Capitol Street jn the North\\·est One urban r enewal area.
The other two proj ects include one elsewhe re in No rt heast One and the othe r-i n
coopera tion with five nonCatholic ch urches a nd three
synagogues- on Capitol Hil l.
The Ur ban Affairs office
will be part of t he plant of
SS. Paul and Augustine P arish. The first two floo rs of
the building will oe converted
into a communi ty ce nter .
Upper floors are expected
to provide space for such opera tions as Father Baroni's office, the Metropolitan Ecumenical Training Cen ter a nd
the Presbytery's office of
urban mission.

Chureh Plans Housing
Cardinal Urges Coalition
To Meet D.C. Urban Ills
By William R. MacKaye
Washington Post Staff Writer
Cardinal O’Boyle expanded
by saying that area clergy
would exchange pulpit visits,
followed by special seminars
and meetings for laymen “to
promote a better understand-
ing of urban affairs and com-
munity relations.”
“The aim of the church and
therefore of the Washington
Archdiocese,” said the Cardi-
nal, “must be to build a soci-
ety which will afford the ordi-
nary citizen and every citizen
the opportunity to pursue his
salvation in conditions of life
that are not debasing and ex-
plosive, but human and en-
couraging.”
At ene point, he observed,
“We're not playing Lady Boun-
tiful ... We’ve got an obliga-
tion to do this.” 1
The Archdiocese’s efforts in
terms of housing will include
an unspecified contribution to
the Housing Development
Fund.
Such a fund is necessary
to finance Government - subsi-
dized housing projects here. A
fund of $2 million might pro-
vide the basis for 40,000 new
low - and moderate - income
housing units in the area.
One group already pursu-
ing Federal aid is the Housing
Development Corp., headed by
the Rev. Channing Phillips of
the United Church of Christ.
Mr. Phillips’ group, which
has access to $100,000 in capi-
tal, currently is sponsoring
construction or rehabilitation
of 2000 housing units.
Mr. Phillips was at the press
conference yesterday, as were
two officials of the proposed
Fund. They are John Nevius,
a lawyer who is one of the ap-
pointees to the new City Coun-
cil, and Reuben Clark, also a.
lawyer.
Clark pointed out that the
shortage of equity capital —
“front money”—now in the
hands of the Housing Develop-
ment Corp. and similar groups
has limited the area’s ability
to take advantage of the low
cost loans available under the
loans to nonprofit corporations
geoton of the Federal Housing
Act.
The proposed housing at the
St. Vincent’s site would be
financed under that rent sub-
sidy section—Section 221 (D)
3 and would provide a mix of
apartments for the elderly,
public housing units and non-
profit dwellings for families
of low and moderate income.
The Archdiocese is involving
itself in three other housing
programs.
A group. of laymen organ-
ized in a group known as Sur-
sum Corda, Inc., working with
St. Aloysius Church and Gon-
zaga High School, already has
secured Federal support for
a $3.7 million, 199-unit hous-
ing development off North
Capitol Street in the North-
west One urban renewal area.
The other two projects in-
clude one elsewhere in North-
east One and the other—in
cooperation with five non-
Catholic churches and three
synagogues—on Capitol Hill.
The Urban Affairs office
will be part of the plant of
SS. Paul and Augustine Par-
ish, The first two floors of
the building wiil be converted
into a community center.
Upper floors are expected
to provide space for such oper-
ations as Father Baroni's of-
fice, the Metropolitan Ecu-
menical Training Center and
the Presbytery’s office of
urban mission.
