These comments are as follows: (5) We are unaware of any offers for sale by owners of 103 units on Boulevard resulting from housing code inspections. As a general rule it is not financially feasible to acquire old housing by purchase since necessary financing of the resulting project must extend over a 40 year life. It is preferable to lease units in such buildings since the economics usually do not justify purchase. (6) At the present time negotiations are proceeding concerning the leasing of units in four additional separate sites. We hope t o be able to add to the total number of units now under lease. The great difficulty is the l ow vacancy rate in housing of acceptab l e standard in the Atlanta area, which has resulted in an attitude by most landlords that there is no financial advantage t o them to enter into a lease agreement with the Housing Authority since they already have extensive waiting lists and are n o t having to make improvements that possibly would be required under the Housing Authority leasing program. �Mayor Allen ~age 2 May 17, 1967 The Housing Authority representative is devoting ample time to the investigation of all available leads. All real estate firms listed in the Yellow Pages have been circularized as well as members of the two real estate boards. Constant visual investigations are made in trips to various sections of the city to find out where vacancies might be in existence. The processing of individual tenant leases for occupancy of units in private housing is not greatly time consuming since it only averages about thirty minutes per tenant. It i s considere d very important for the leasing represent a tive to make very frequent checks of existing leased housing to make sure that the public housing tenants are living up to their obligations affecting the care of the premises, etc. If this program can b e controlled so that private landlords see that public housing tenants are better than average tenants this should h a ve a n importa nt impact on t he availabil i ty of addi tiona l units f or l e as e .

Although the number of leased sites has not increased in the past few weeks, the number of public housing tenants has had a steady growth as dwelling units have become available in present locations. (9) Reduction in minimum price of single family lots for sale in the Thomasville Urban Redevelopment Project below their current minimum has been considered in the past. The staff is of the opinion that such reduction would not encourage the development of these lots because: (a) The price as now set is less than the value of the lots should the developer acquire land at reasonable price and provide the streets, utilities, and other amenities as provided by this project. (b) The Federal Housing Administration will allow as land value only the amount actually paid to us by the developer. Therefore, any reduction in the price of the land would mly result in a reduction in the amount of the loan underwritten by FHA.

The following members were present: Mr. Dale Clark, Public Info rmat ion Panel Dean William S. Jackson, Social Problems Panel Mr. J. E. Land, Lan d Acquisition Panel Mr. Archer D. Smith, III, Le g al Panel Mr. Edwin L. Sterne , Public Housing Panel Mr. Hall Ware, Finance and Non-Profit Funds Panel Mr. John C. Wilson, Finance and Non-Profit Fund s Panel Mr. Robert Winn, Construction and Design Panel The Business Participation Panel was not represented at the meeting. Col. Malcolm Jones presided in the Chairman's absence. Col. Jones explai ned that this was the second in a series of monthly meetings designed to bring the Committee members up to date on the progress of the program. H e then asked each of the panel representatives to make a rep ort on the a ction taken by their r espe ctiv e panels. Finance and Non-Profit Funds Panel - Mr . Wilson and Mr. Ware explained that the Committee is actively engage d i n developing a local funding group to provide II seed" money t o promote low co st h ousing. Preliminary dis cuss ions have been held and material from other such organi zation s is being reviewed. Social Problems Panel - Dean Jackson reported that this panel has met to organize their group and has discussed some of the broad areas to be encompassed by the panel. Two main decisions came out of this meeting: 1. The panel should have representatio n from the community it self and, therefore, two new members have been added. They are: D r. Charles F. Schwab, President, Protestant Welfare and Social Services, Inc., and Mr. Erwin Stevens, Chairman, Citiz en s Central Advisory Committee, Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc. 2. The panel felt it would be helpful to develop some guidelines as to what is anticipated as goals for adequate living. �Page Two Dean Jackson added that one of his cl as ses is presently conducting a surve y of the attitudes of families living in the vicinity of the B e dford-Pine ar ea to be completed by the end of this month. If anything helpful comes out of the study it will be shared with the Conunittee. Land Acquisition Panel - Mr. Land reported that this panel is still in the process of thoroughly organizing. However, as a result of the first meeting it was decided that two or three real estate men would be added to the group and this is in process at present. Meetings are planned with the Atlanta Housing Authority and the Federal Housing Administration. Construction and Design Panel - Mr. Winn reported t:q.at three archi tec ts have been obtained to work with the panel in carrying out its functions. The panel members have organized and have scheduled regular monthly meetings and are beginning to plan their program. Legal Panel - Mr. Smith, representing Mr. Weltner, stated that two attorne y s have been added to assis t in the work of the panel. They are: Mr. Archer D. Smith, III , Attorney, Harmon & Thackston, and Mr. Norman L. Underwood , Attorney, San ders, H ester & Holley. The panel members are working in thre e areas at the present time: 1. 2. 3. Research and examination of the laws dealing with FHA housin g, particul arly the requisites for obtaining FHA grants and loans; Study of complaints and problems concerning the enforcement of the Housing Code; and Res earch into the pa rt of t h e law particularly co n cerne d with the Grant and Loan Program (fo r re habilitation o f sub-standard housi ng) being restricted to U r ban Renewal and Code Enforcement areas. Public Hrusing Panel - Mr. Sterne reported that this panel has met once and at that meeting the members were generally acquainte d with what is going on in public housing. Mr. Stern e told the group of many of the program.s the Housing Authority is presently engaged in. Public Information Panel - Mr. Clark reported that th e pane l members have met and that he also met with Col. Jones and Mr. Alexander for a bri efing on the overall program. He stated that his concept of this panel's ftmction is: one of informing the general public and to report fully through the news 1nedia what the Committee is doing, and that until some definite action is taken hy the Committee and the function of the Committee is a little better focused, this panel will n ot be able to really move forward on their program. �Page Three Col. Jones then distributed up-to-date copies of the Inventory of the various housing projects which have been proposed and provided members of the pr e ss with a summary of this report. He reviewed the summary with the comm itte e and discussed in detail some of the problems the committee is encountering in getting these projects underway. The major problems include: 1. Attitude of home owners toward apartment units; 2. Zoning; and 3. Determination of the location of housing {HUD prefers that such housin g not be located in areas of racial concentration). The group discussed possible solutions to these problems but no positive decisions were reached. Col. Jones also told the group of a meeting Mr. Alexander has reques t ed for a special meeting of the Board of Aldermen for the purpose of inviting builders and developers to appear before them to discuss their problems from their points of view. He added that it would be helpful to have some members of the Executive Group at this meeting also.

The following members were present: Mr. Dale Clark, Public Information Pael Dean William S. Jackson, Social Problems Panel Mr. J. E. Land, Land Acquisition Panel Mr. Archer D. Smith, III, Legal Panel Mr. Edwin L. Sterne, Public Housing Panel Mr. Hall Ware, Finance and Non-Profit Funds Panel Mr. John C. Wilson, Finance and Non-Profit Funds Panel Mr. Robert Winn, Construction and Design Panel The Business Participation Panel was not represented at the meeting. Col. Malcolm Jones presided in the Chairman's absence. Col. Jones explained that this was the second in a series of monthly meetings designed to bring the Committee members up to date on the progress of the program. He then asked each of the panel representatives to make a report on the action taken by their respective panels. Finance and Non-Profit Funds Panel - Mr. Wilson and Mr. Ware explained that the Committee is actively engaged in developing a local funding group to provide ''seed'' money to promote low cost housing. Preliminary discussions have been held and material from other such organizations is being reviewed. Social Problems Panel - Dean Jackson reported that this panel has met to organize their group and has discussed some of the broad areas to be encompassed by the panel. Two main decisions came out of this meeting: 1. The panel should have representation from the community itself and, therefore, two new members have been added. They are: Dr. Charles F. Schwab, President, Protestant Welfare and Social Services, Inc., and Mr. Erwin Stevens, Chairman, Citizens Central Advisory Committee, Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc. 2. The panel felt it would be helpful to develop some guidelines as to what is anticipated as goals for adequate living. Page Two Dean Jackson added that one of his classes is presently conducting a survey of the attitudes of families living in the vicinity of the Bedford-Pine area to be completed by the end of this month. If anything helpful comes out of the study it will be shared with the Committee. Land Acquisition Panel - Mr. Land reported that this panel is still in the process of thoroughly organizing. However, as a result of the first meeting it was decided that two or three real estate men would be added to the group and this is in process at present. Meetings are planned with the Atlanta Housing Authority and the Federal Housing Administration. Construction and Design Panel - Mr. Winn reported that three architects have been obtained to work with the panel in carrying out its functions. The panel members have organized and have scheduled regular monthly meetings and are beginning to plan their program. Legal Panel - Mr. Smith, representing Mr. Weltner, stated that two attorneys have been added to assist in the work of the panel. They are: Mr. Archer D. Smith, III, Attorney, Harmon & Thackston, and Mr. Norman L. Underwood, Attorney, Sanders, Hester & Holley. The panel members are working in three areas at the present time: 1. Research and examination of the laws dealing with FHA housing, particularly the requisites for obtaining FHA grants and loans; 2. Study of complaints and problems concerning the enforcement of the Housing Code; and 3. Research into the part of the law particularly concerned with the Grant and Loan Program (for rehabilitation of sub-standard housing) being restricted to Urban Renewal and Code Enforcement areas. Public Housing Panel - Mr. Sterne reported that this panel has met once and at that meeting the members were generally acquainted with what is going on in public housing. Mr. Sterne told the group of many of the programs the Housing Authority is presently engaged in. Public Information Panel - Mr. Clark reported that the panel members have met and that he also met with Col. Jones and Mr. Alexander for a briefing on the overall program. He stated that his concept of this panel's function is one of informing the general public and to report fully through the news media what the Committee is doing, and that until some definite action is taken by the Committee and the function of the Committee is a little better focused, this panel will not be able to really move forward on their program. Page Three Col. Jones then distributed up-to-date copies of the Inventory of the various housing projects which have been proposed and provided members of the press with a summary of this report. He reviewed the summary with the committee and discussed in detail some of the problems the committee is encountering in getting these projects underway. The major problems include; l. Attitude of home owners toward apartment units; 2. Zoning; and 3. Determination of the location of housing (HUD prefers that such housing not be located in areas of racial concentration). The group discussed possible solutions to these problems but no positive decisions were reached, Col. Jones also told the group of a meeting Mr. Alexander has requested for a special meeting of the Board of Aldermen for the purpose of inviting builders and developers to appear before them to discuss their problems from their points of view. He added that it would be helpful to have some members of the Executive Group at this meeting also. Mr. Land of the Land Acquisition Panel said that his panel would definitely be represented at the meeting. Col. Jones requested each of the panels to elect permanent Chairmen and Vice Chairmen as soon as possible, if they have not already done so, and to advise him who has been elected. Mr. Clark told the Executive Group members that his panel (Public Information) is always open to committee members for any suggestions or recommendations as to how the public information program can help further the goals of the Committee. He also recommended to Col. Jones that the information contained in: the summary of the problem areas be made available to the press, Col. Jones agreed with Mr. Clark and advised that he would take up this matter with Mr. Alexander. There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 11:30 a.m. Respectfully submitted, P Pye CER ZS oF TD cacy Malcolm D.

(c) Insuring that the human factors in housing are given full play. (d) Informing the public of the housing problem in Atlanta. Goals: The City's goals in the low cost housing new construction program, based on Findings o of the recently completed CIP study and as announced by the Mayor in Housing Conference on November 15, 1966 are: 9,800 units during calendar years 1967 and 1968. 2,333 units each year during the next succeeding 3 year period. 16,800 units total by end of 1971. Accomplishments to Date: 72 separate projects have been proposed, totaling 15,391 units in the following categories: Firm 4,286 units Probable 2,578 units Total* 7,264 units In Sight Under Gansii- “46k eration Doubtful 3,663 Total Proposed 15,391 of which 6,149 units, previously consideres are currently in jeopardy due to objections from various sources as to locations. “Includes 1,140 units of Public Housing + 144 units leased for Public rousing. Major Problems: (a) See "Problem Areas" attached dated April 20, 1967, revised. (b) Also see attached: 1. Memorandums dated April 25, 1967 and May 24, 1567 pertaining vo gnmunt of land in the City appropriately zoned for construction of low cost housing: and, 2. “Statement of Necessity" undated, extracted From proposed zoning application.  3. Letter to the Mayor from RUD, dated May 5, 1967, attached. 4, Two news clippings dated May 8 and 9, respectively. Discussion: The above factual data and attached papers clearly illustrate where the difficu. lie and suggest some obvious indicated solutions. The program cannot be successfully carpied out, unless these problems are resolved. In the initial Housing Conference last November the City called on private enterpriss %c assist in a large measure in this program. While initial efforts have succeeded in ovo- ducing the 7, 264 units in sight listed above, t.. »s is little reason to assume an cp timistic attitude toward future efforts. At this time combinations o ba zoning probDiems, land costs, code requirements and general uncertainty percaining te program have severely curtailed future prospects. Many developers and builders attempted to participate in the program are confronted with insurmountable obstacles and are withdrawing. Several cevelopers are holding up on submitting zoning petitions becaus- o Ph el £ discouragement as to favorable action. Ts a wy = 5 ny He + . atone s08 seta. ote In order for the Housing Resources Committee to perform its assigned mission, there problems should be placed before the elected city officials and the public. For ex (a) Zoning throughout the City is now being analyzed to insure that the current needs of the entire city are being met. (b) Citizens should be encouraged to realize and accept the fact that in a large and rapidly growing =) city, such as Atlanta, single family houses cannot be made available Fh or all citizens and that many must of necessity reside in multi-family housing units (either rental or co-op.) (c) In zoning matters, pertaining to an overall community problem, Aldermen should w act on needs of the City as a whole, as opposed to local neighborhood pressures. (d) Provisions for decent and adequate housing is the number one priority for the City and is a necessary prerequisite for solving many other problems. (e) Compliance with HUD's announced policy of discouraging public housing i ba - areas of racial concentration has severely limited the availability of sites. (f) Land in adequate quantitites, and at prices which make low cost housiny economically feasible, are apparently not available in all segments ef che City. (g) More local churches and civic groups should be encouraged to program as non-profit sponsors. (h) An over-all non-profit housing fund should be created to promote all these: Recommended Action: Fh (a) Submission by the HRC to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen a briebk aweitoen port on current status of the low cost housing program. (b) The Housing Resources Committee to actively support re-zoning netitiens which are reasonable and in interest of furthering the nousing program. (c) Conduct promptly a hard-hitting Public Information campaign inforaing the public of the current difficulties encountered and offering concrete positive suggesticns fer their solution.

He also st~ted that there were severa l difficulties in locating rental housing sites., partially because of the racial problems i~ Atlanta, and gave his interpretation of the May 5, 1967 letter from HUD, pertaining to HUD ' s reluctence to approve Public Housing sites in racially concentrated areas . Dr. Vivian Henderson, Land Acquis i tion Pane l, stated that this did not necessarily hold true in all case s ; that he did not thin~ the announced HUD policy was intended to apply to racially ir.tegrated projects in previo usly all white neighborhoodso Dp. Henderson alsc asked about his Panel's previous request for a list of possible sites for locating low-cost housing . Mr . Jones explained that this has been requested from t~e Planning Department, but not yet prepared; however, that he has been provided ttith a group of Land Lot sheets showing va cant property (with current zoning) in the eastern half of the city; and these locations were being looked into. �Page Two Dr .

Alexander explained that there is a greater low-re ntal need in the city than apparently some members of the FHA underwriting staff feel justified . Mr. Jones said that the problems were not being over-pla yed because there were many prob le ms in trying to locate low-cost housing sites. He explained that this was the p0 r p ose of this meeting; to try to work out some of these problems. Dr. Henderson stated that many of the present problems appeared to be with the Planning Department , and they were not very good reasons. Mr. Alexander stated that the City is striving to get a workable Land Use plan which people feel that they can rely on. Mr. Dale Clark, Public Information Panel, asked if the Pla-nni"ng Department is represented on t his Committee. �Page Three Mro Jones st at ed t hot it is not; but t ha t we are wor king i n clo se contact with each other. i\lr Alexander stated t hat t he genera l fee l i:ie; is that i n some re sidential area s the zoning from single fa~i l y houses to a partments wi ll be a ne cessity o He asked the press not to mention any specif:i..c areas wne r e th i s ma y be poss ible, be cause there are no definite plans to this effect as yet .

The following members were present}; Mr. Cecil A, Alexander, Chairman De. Sanford S. Atwood, Co-Chairman Mr. Lee Burge, Chairman, Fihance & Non-Profit Funds Panel Mr. John C.

Gates, Consultant The Public Housing Panel and the Social Problems Panel were not represented at the meeting. Mr. Cecil A. Alexander, Chairman, presided. Mr. Alexander read the Housing Resources Committee's "White Paper" (copy attached) and explained the different divisions of this report. He then explained the other documents which were attached. He also stated that there were several difficulties in locating rental housing sites, partially because of the racial problems in Atlanta, and gave his interpretation of the May 5, 1967 letter from HUD, pertaining to HUD's reluctence to approve Public Housing sites in racially concentrated areas. Dr. Vivian Henderson, Land Acquisition Panel, stated that this did not necessarily hold true in all cases; that he did not think the announced HUD policy was intendéd to apply to racially integrated projects in previously all white neighborhoods, Dr. Henderson also asked about his Panel's previous request for a list of possible sites for locating low-cost housing. Me, Jones explained that this has been requested from the Planning Department, but not yet prepared; however, that he has been provided with a group of Land Lot sheets showing vacant property (with current zoning) in the eastern half of the citys; and these locations were being looled into. Page Two Dr. Henderson suggested that se need for such a list of available sites be reported to the Board sr Aldermen. Mr, Alexander reported that the Planning Committee initially prepsred a liist of sites comprising 800 acres of land that were considered available for use or that could be re-zgonéd. He also stated that the developers had already looked into these properties but that only four tracts had been oa come go far. Mr. Jones stated that he knew of only two, or possibly three, of these that had been actually approved by HUD. Mr, Alexander stated that one of the main problems was that the land developers could not always use the sites because ‘of locations, costs, and building codes. Mr. John C. Wilson “inance and Non-Profit Funds Panel, suggested that the Committee ccept all the land possible, because to provide all the housing required, all available land would be needed. Mr, Alexander stated that this Committee should take action one way or another to get these problems corrected before any further substantial developments can be made, Mr, Jones stated that it was this Committee's policy to consider any suitable location that was submitted or proposed and to try to get action based on merits of individual tracts. Mr, Lee Burge, Finance and Non-Profit Funds Panel, asked if this Committee was over-playing the housing problems, or if this was just the normal type of thing which resulted from trying to get through zoning changes, Housiae Authority and for - FHA approval of a housing development. Mr. Alexander explained that there is a greater low-rental need in the city than apparently some members of the FHA underwriting staff feel justified. Mr. Jones said that the problems were not being over-played because there were many problems in trying to locate low-cost housing sites. He explained that this was the purpose of this meeting; to try to work out some of these problems, Dr. Henderson stated that many of the present problems appezured to be with the Planning Department, and they were not very good reasons, Mr. Alexander stated that the City is striving to get a workable Land Use plan which people feel that they can rely on. Mr, Dale Clark, Public Information Panel, asked if the Planning Department is represented on this Committee. Page Three fr, Jones stated that ¥ close contact with each other, Mr, Alexander stated that the general feeling is that in some residential areas the zoning from single family houses to apartments will be @ necessity. He asked the press not to mention any speci Tic areas wnere this ney be possible, because there are no definite plans to this effect as yet. Mr. Burge asked if it would not be neipful to create a link between the Housing Resources Committee and the Planning Department? Mr. Alexander stated that it would also be a good idea.to create such a relationship with the Board of Aldermen. Mr, Burge said, in relation to item (d) under “Disucussion" in the "White Paper", that he would 1ike to know how the zoning people felt about this. Dr. Henderson said that it was easy to discuss this problem but that it would not always work out in practice, and that tne real issue is the difficulty of locating in an area that does motwant housing developments. Mr, Burge asked the reason given by FHA for its action in connection with the sites near Magnolia Cemetary, Etheridge Drive, and Gun Club Road. Mr. Alexander referred the question to Mr. Gates for answer. Mr. Gates stated that proximity;to Rockdale Urban Renewal Project, in which about 1,500 units are to be constructed during the next four years, ould be taken into consideration in determining the probable market absorption in the general area. Both the City of Atlanta and the Federal Government have considerable investment in Rockdale, Mr, Alexander asked Mr. Jones to cive a report on possible locations Tor pre-fabricated houses in Atlanta. Me. Jones stated that there is some effort to build this type of house in Atlanta, but that there is difficulty because of the Atlanta Building Code. This code states that the plumbing, electrical, and heating fixtures be installed on site in Atlanta, and that the pre-fabricated houses come with these fixtures and electrical circutes already installed. However, there are plans being matic now for some sites on which pre- fabricated houses could be located by desiginating special areas Page Four where this type of housing could be installed. He also stated that the amount of land required to build a house on was too great economically in Atlanta for this type of house, and that there are also plans under way to correct this by permitting them to pe built on a 50! x 100! lot, or 60 x 83.33! (5,000 sq. feet instead of 7,500 sa. feet, which is now required.) Mr, Alexander stated that he thought that organizations such as Tech sould organize studies of the housing situation in Atlanta, which would be made available to this Committee. He asked Mr. Winn if the Construction and Design Panel were looking into this now? Me. Robert Winn, Construction and Design Panel, stated that there will be a:meeting of his panel a week from next Tuesday to discuss this, Mr, Jones inquired if the present meeting time and date for this Committee was satisfactory, and the reply was affirmative. He also stated that he had appeared before the Zoning Committee on severel occasions and felt that it would carry more influence with them if thts Committee could take definite action on some areas before he re-appeared. He stated that there were three sites in particular coming up for re-zoning hearings soon on which he would like for the Committee as a group to indorse and support, ie 1. Fairburn Road @. donesboro Road 3. North of Baker's Ferry Road Mr, Alexander stated that he fe lt that it was too soo# to take any definite acvion on these sites as yet.

Home owners in these areas are without recourse and are in the unhappy situation of having their homes condemned unless they can produce the necessary funds. It seems to me that these persons are entitled to relief. In effect they are in an area covered by U. S. Government action since the required workable program covers the entire city.

However, Mr. Alexander desires to discuss several of the items further with you and will look to you for suggestions as to action this Committee should take. Also we would like to have a brief report on the activities of each Panel. The Housing Inventory Report is being brought up to date, and should be available for our July 6 meeting. It should provide a clear picture of the current status of the program. We still do not have information on the following: Legal Panel--Chairman & Vice-Chairman Public Housing--Vice-Chairman Land Acquisition Panel--Chairman & Vice-Chairman Social Problems Panel--Vice-Chairman Please be prepared to provide us at the next meeting with names of those elected to the above positions. Also please let us know on the enclosed return address postal card if you plan to attend the meeting or, in the event you cannot attend the meeting, the name of some other member of your panel who will represent you at the meeting.
