I The committee expressed its concern about a tract immediately to the north lying in unincorporated . Fulton County which, upon approval of this annexation petition, would become landlocked and asked if it could be included along with this petition. Mr. Gladin explained this is one type of problem you incur in the petition route and it could not be legally included, but could be brought up at the next filing period in May, 1970. The committee felt this would be highly desirable and should be encouraged at that time. Mr. Eugene Anderson, part-owner of the tract which would become appeared speaking for himself and Mrs. Schneider, also part-owner, be willing to have their property annexed; that, however, he could for Mr. Steinmetz, another owner, but Mr. Steinmetz had told him to be annexed. landlocked, stating they would not officially speak he would be willing In answer to questioning by Mr. Cook, Mr. Anderson stated the C-1 zoning approved by the · county was done so as part of an overall Medical Complex proposal which subsequently fel I_ through much to their regret and loss, and there is no commercial development in the area presently. There being no further discussion, the_ matter was referred to Executive Session. In Executive Session, upon unanimous vote, this petition was approved by the committee. 1 . B. PUBLIC HEARING - ANNEXATION PETITION BY JOHN E. LIVADITIS GARMON ROAD. There was no opposition present. A detailed report relative to this petition certifying its compliance with State Enabling Le gislation and app licabl e city ordinances was presented to ea ch committee member pre sent and the staff recommended approva l . The property li es in Land Lot 177 of the 17th District and is approximately 2 acres in si z e. Mr. G ladi n stated the property is presently zoned R- 1 (Reside ntial) a nd would be annexed as R-1; that all services are available, or can be provided upon request (lettersto this e ffect are a part of the report). (- ,, Mr. Li vaditis was present a long with his representative, Robert Smith . Mr . Smith acknowledged the y were aware of the fact there a re no existing sewers to the property and . the present plans are to use two septic tanks, but the y are hopeful of working out an easement agreement with the adjoi ning property owner to connect with an outfall �Minutes Planning and Development Committee July 18, 1969 - Page Three sewer 150 feet from Mr. Livaditis 1 property line. Mr. Cook called to Mr. Smith's attention a letter in the report from the Public Works Department stating that sanitary sewer is not available for the property to be annexed on Garmon Road and would not be available until approved by the property owners along this section. Mr. Smith stated they realized securing the easement would be difficult but were still hopeful it could be worked out, and in the meantime, the septic tanks are an alternative. Mr. Smith stated Mr. Livaditis is ready to begin bricking the house and doesn't have any water; since there is a charge to tap onto the water fo r property outside the city, he wanted to know if final approval of this petition by the Board of Aldermen would be expedited to relieve him from having to pay this charge. A check with the Water De partment indicated that if this committee approves the annexation peti t ion today, they would not charge Mr. Livaditis to tap onto the water prior to final approval of the petition. Messrs. Smith and Livaditis expressed their appreciation to the committee. The matter was then refe rred to Executive Session, and upon unanimous vote, this petition was approved by the committee. 2. STATUS OF RECERTIFICATION OF WORKABLE PROGRAM Pie rce Mahon y explaine d tha t the Planning staff is progressing rapidly toward completion of work fo r recerti fi ca t ion of the Wo rka ble Prog ram for a two- ye a r period, ra t he r than one ye a r which has been approve d in the past . He stated the re have bee n considerable revisi ons in the req uire me nts of the p rog ram fo r recert ification, mak ing it much more diffic ul t to pu t toge ther a nd committi ng us to a much more sol id app roach . He comme nted brie fl y on some o f the new aspe c ts of the progra m, such a s the housing and re loca ti on element and the departme nt's antici pa ted part icipa tio n in the HUD 701 p la nning p rog ra m. He explained a federa l requireme nt fo r particip ati o n in the 701 progra m is that one portion of the p lanning studies be a housing study; further, the person ne l situation throughout the city , especia lly in the te ch nica l and p rofe ssiona l leve l', is getting' serious and the Planning Department ho pe s to so lve some o f its prob lem s by hiring tempo rary personnel on 701 planning programs w ho coul d move into permanent planning vacancies as they occu r. He went on to say these new requirements, particularly housing planning fo r low and moderate income families, points up the critical need for the Urban Information System �c. Minutes Planning and Development Committee July 18, 1969 - Page Four for the city, because of the various and sundry data which can be obtained from it on immediate notice, and he urged the committee's support in implementation of this system. He presented a draft of "Workable Program Five-Year Goals II and stated the city wi II be committed to these goals and emphasized the need to begin considering an advance two-year budget. Considerable discussion then ensued about the status of the Mayor's Housing Program. Colonel Jones of the Housing Resources Committee stated that the city is about halfway through the initial five-year program. He cited figures for the two and one-half year period, stating we have under construction and completed approximately 8,000 units, and we have in the pipeline more units than the original goal of 17,000. He sta ted, however, a lot of !re units in planning are being lost because we do not have properly zoned locations to put them on. Mr. Cook asked on what basis units are classified as being in the "planning stage". C·. .• Mr. Jones explained they are put in this category when a rezoning application is filed and a proposal is submitted; if the zoning is denied, they are taken out; that more zonings for this purpose have been denied than approved. He cited the loss of 21,000 units through recent rezoning denials . Mr. Cook state d this doesn't concur with figures he obtained from the Planning Department. Mr. Gladin explained the staff analysis referre d to was done about a ye ar ago and at that time the zoning approvals were running about 80-90%; that the staff is in the process of p reparing an up-to- date analysis o{ the housing program . Mr. Cook ds ked for and was furnished with a copy of Mr. Jones' late st housing report. Afte r a cu rsory examination, Mr . Cook expressed conce rn ab out the disc repancy in fi g ures contai ned in the repo rt and those sta ted ora lly by Colone l J ones. Being a me mbe r of the Zoning Committee, he state d he was tired of charges being made that the ci ty's housing goa ls we re not be ing me t because of rez oning de nial s as he did not be li e ve this to be the case, a nd he finds it very confusing and frustating to be unable to justify his positi on whe n he is unabl e to secure re li ab le statis tics; that he would Iike statisti cs differen ti a ting wha t pe rce ntage of the 8,000 uni ts quoted by Colone l J ones is ac tually low and moderate income housi ng . Mr. Kennedy stated he ha d ve ry strong rese rvations that this perce ntage was q uite low , that as stated by Mr. G ladi n , the Plann ing staff is in the process of ana lyz ing the Housing Program for the la st two and one- ha lf years a nd he fe lt this report would produce the type statistics Mr. Cook is looking for. C. �( _ Minutes Planning and Development Committee July 18, 1969 - Page Five -: Mr. Gladin stated he realized the problems in working with the housing figures, and again this points up the need for good management procedures, which need to be standardized, and the Urban Information System for quick delivery of these statistics over a period of time. He also commented on the need for more emphasis on the city's total housing needs. Mr. Cook directed the staff to prepare a letter for his signature to Colonel Jones requesting clarification on the following: l. Is the actual number of units under construction and completed for the last two and one-half years the 8,000 oral figure given by Colonel Jones, or the 12,000 figure in his report of May 15, 1969; 2. What percentage of this figure is for low and moderate income housing; 3. The method used for determining what is low and moderate income housing, the name of the projects and the number of units in each project. He stated that in looking at the May 15 report and oral figures by Colonel Jones, it would appear we a re moving backwards and this prompted Mr. Flanigen to remark he had no doubt but what the program is "slipping". _p.?) ~ it: it 1to.~1 ' w if) ~ w n. With additi anal reference to the housing question, Mr. Mahony stated that at the last meeting of the Housing Resources Committee, the Legal Panel discussed the need for establishing a Housing Planning Agency within the city government to relieve the Housing Resources Commi t te e membe rs who are present ly spending an inord inate amount of time doing su rveys and research in the field of housing . He stated the logical place for such a housing function would be in the Planning Depa rtment, particularly in light of the 701 planning p rogram; that the staff would like the committe e's support; and he prese nted a le tter for Mr. Cook 's signa tu re as Chai rman of the Planning and De ve lopmen t Commi ttee supporting the department's position . Colone l Jo ne s sta ted tha t the Legal Panel has been studying this matter, but the y have no t subm itted a posi tion report to Mr . Ale xander a nd he does not kn ow what type of report w il I be subm it te d if and whe n it is, and he felt any action by t his committee on this matter would be pre mature a t t his ti me . ~ ~ ~ Q:: 0 0 c·-~ C!) M r. Gladin stated the letter does not request an y fina l a ction; tha t it mere ly makes a recommendation for the Ho using Re sou rces Committee t o consider in making their recommendation. Colonel Jones stated he sti II felt the letter was in anticipation of something and prematu re. �Minutes Planning and Development Committee July 18, 1969 - Page · Six Mr. Mahony commented that the Planning Deportment fee Is very strong Iy about this and consequently wanted to take a positive approach, rather than waiting for a proposal from the Housing Resources Committee and reacting. The committee unanimously approved the letter and Mr. Cook appended his signature thereto. Referring back to the status report on the Workable Program, Mr. Gladin stated the staff hopes to present the final draft to this committee July 28, 1969 for review, and will request committee approval at a meeting on August I, 1969; it will then be forwarded to the ne x t meeting of the Board of Aldermen where, hopefully, it will be finally approved and hand delivered that same afternoon to HUD. This will give HUD ample review time prior to the October expiration date for last year's recertification. *** *** ** Mr. Mahony explained the City of Mountain View, Clayton County and the City of Atlanta have common problems in the Plunkettown area which require joint study and action to solve. The following Resolution to initiate such action was approved: - (~ A RESOLUTION BY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT COMM!

DEPARTME N T OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT WASH I NGTON , D. C. 204 10 �• PREFACE FOR WORKABLE PROGRAM HANDBOOK 'Ihis Handbook sets forth a new approach and revised requirements to guide localities that are carrying out a Workable Program for Community Improvement. It represents the first major revision of the Workable Program procedures since enactment of the statutory provision in 1954-, We have several objectives which we hope will be achieved by the revision. One is to respond to the many changes that have taken place in our urban areas over the years. Another is to ensure that our requirements for the Workable Program are focused on performance by localities in dealing with the problem of slums and blight~-not just on compliance with operational procedures. Above all, the purpose is to give local communities both flexibility an4 the responsibility to develop effective programs to achieve the objectives of the statute in light of the particular nature of problems and conditions existing in each locality. ' ' '.Ihe substitution of performance standards for certain formal elements of the Workable Program does not represent any easing in current substantive requi rements. Nor does the Handbook envision any reduction in efforts by communities now participating in the program. The introduction of a performance-oriented approach hopefully will result in a more effective attack on the major problems facing the community. I am confident that, after more than a decade of experience with the Workable Program, the Federal-local partnership has the maturity to operate effectively under the new approach of this Handbook and thereby we can make more meaningful progress toward overcoming the urgent problems facing our cities and towns today. Robert C. Weaver Secretary 1 11/ 68 �WORKABLE PRCGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT RHA 7100.11 • FOREWORD This Handbook sets forth revised policies, requirements, and procedures for communities required to carry out a Workable Program for Community Improvement in connection with the use of certain Departmental housing and renewal programs to help overcome probiems of slums and blight. -Workable Program Guides containing illustrative and advisory information will be issued to supplement this Handbook. The revised policies and requirements set forth herein are effective upon issuance of this Handbook. Tnose communities which already have submitted or· have substantially completed documentation in support of an application for certification or recertification of a Workable Program need not revise the material . However, communities may use the revised forms described in this Handbook immediately . After March 31, 1969, all applications for certification or recertification of a Workable Program must be in conformance with the revised policies and requirements. The primary objective of the revision is to provide a fle:x:i.ble and performance-oriented framework within which communities may demonstrate reasonable continuing progress toward· achieving the goals sought by the statutory requirement for a Workable Program and those established by the community to implement them. The revision also modifies reporting and documenta~ion requirements and provides new criteria for evaluating community performance. The revised Workable Program concentrates on four essential areas: a. The · adoption and enforcement of housing, building, and related codes. b. The establishment of an effective action-oriented planning and programming process. c. The developnent of programs to meet low- and moderate- income housing needs and to meet relocation needs of families , individuals, and business concerns displaced by governmental action. ii 11/68 �WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNI'IY IMPROVEMENT • IRHA 7100.1 d. I The involvement of citizens, including poor and minority groups, in Workable Program activities and in related HUDassisted housing and renewal programs. The intent of this Handbook is to strengthen the Workable Program as a flexible and meaningful tool to help communities organize and carry out its community improvement programs. The Handbook envisions no lessening of effort by communities which h~ve been participating under previous Workable Program guidelines. Rather, it is anticipated that communities will make greater :grogress toward achieving the obj ectives of the statute with the increased flexibility provided by the Handbook to concentrate local efforts and tailor specific needs and problems facing the community. Applications for certtfic?tion in accordance with the requirements of this Handbook which propose a program with an overall leve l of effort below that made in the past, will not be acceptable. Certifications and recertifications of Workable Programs will be e ffective for two years. Field reviews of progress will be made as necessary by HUD Regional Office staff midway through the certification period to provide advice and t echnical assistance. HUD-assisted programs to which the Workable Program applies are listed in Chapter 1, paragraph 5. A community intending to make application for financial assistance under any of these pro grams should become familiar with the policies and requirement s set forth in this Handbook. An understanding of these policies and requirements will facilitate the preparation of the application for certification or recertification of the community 's Workable Program and thus help to expedite the processing of applications for financial assistance for specific programs. 10/ 68 iii �J - HtJD REGIONAL OFFICES RIDIONAL ADMINISTRATOR ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER I Judah Gribetz 26 Federal Plaza, New York, N.Y. 10007 Area Code 212 264-8068 Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode· Island, Vermont n Warren P.

SUMMARY OF WORKABLE PROGRAM PURPOSES AND REQUIREMENTS STATU'IORY PROVISION. The Housing Act of 1949, as amended, requires as a condition of certain financial assistance, the following: 11 ••• a workable program for co~unity improvement (which shall include an official plan of action, as it exists from time to time, for effectively dealing with the problem of urban slums and blight within the community and for the establishment and preservation of a well-planned community with well-organized environment for adequate family life) for utilizing appropriate private and public resources to eliminate and prevent the develoµnent or spread of slums and urban blight, to encourage needed urban rehabilitation, to provide for redevelopnent of blighted, deteriorated, or slum areas, or to undertake such of the aforesaid activities or other feasible community activities as may be suitably employed to achieve the objectives of such a program." The statute also requires the ad.option and effective enforcement of a minimum standards housing code, as described in Chapter 4. In addition to the Workable Program requirements contained herein, communities are advised that various HUD-assistance programs may contain additionab separate requirements tailored to meet specific program needs (e.g. relocation requirements of the urban renewal program, general planning requirements for water and sewer, or open space land grants). See Chapter 3, paragraph 7, for further information. 2. BASIC PURPOSE OF STATU'IORY PROVISION. The basic purpose of the Workable Program requirement is to ensure that communities desiring to utilize funds for renewal and housing programs understand the array of forces that create slums and blight and are willing to recognize and .take the steps within their power to prevent and overcome urban blight. The Workable Program is based on recognition that the Federal and local relationship is one of partnership in the task, and that Federal funds for renewal and housing projects cannot, by themselves, be effective unless localities exercise the full range of their powers in community efforts on a sustained and coordinated basis to the objective of preventing and eradicating slums and blight. 3. SUMMARY OF WORKABLE PROORAM REQUIREMENTS, The specific requirements of the Workable Program are based on the statutory objectives described above and are designed to provide a flexible framework Page 1 u/63 �T WORKABLE PRCGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT " I l RHA 7100.1 J CHAPTER 1 for organizing community efforts to eliminate and prevent slums and blight. The Workable Program calls for progress in the following four areas: a. Code Adoption and Enforcement. The adoption of housing, building, and related codes, and development of an effective code enforceme nt program which is at least adequate to de a l with areas having high priority need for en£orcement, including both blighted areas and basically sound but deteriorating neighborhoods, and which is gear ed toward eventual community-wi de compliance with such codes. b. Planning and Programming. The establishment of a continuing public planning and programming process which develops action programs within a comprehensive planning framework for overcoming the major physical, social, and e conomic problems related to the slum and blighted areas of the community, and for establishing and preserving a well- planned community with suitable l i ving environment for family life . c. Housing and Relocation. The development of a centralized or coordinated program for assisting in the relocation of all persons and business concer_n;, displace d by public action in the community and the development of a proi~ ~ to expand the supply of housing for l ow- and mode rate-inc0u1E. famili es on the basis of equa l opportunity. d. Citizen Involvement . The establishment of programs designed to achieve meaningful involvement of citizens, including poor and minority groups , in planning and carrying out HUD-ass i sted programs related to th e Workable Program. A detailed explanati on of th e policies and r equirements for each of the above four areas is s e t forth in subseque nt chapte rs of this Handbook. 4. LOCAL ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS. In carrying out Workabl e Program responsibil i ties, many different local agencies and offices will necessarily b e involved, together with various public a nd private institutions, organization s , and individuals. For e xample , building departments, planning agencies, health offices, housing authorities, urban renewal agencies, neighborhood organizat i ons, private builder s and dev e l opers may b e involved to proyide the wide range of resources needed to meet Workable Program obj ectives. While no specific a dministrative s tructure i s r equired by the Workable Progr am, a community will be expect e d to meet t he gene ral r equirement for establi shme nt of an administrative me chanism 11/68 Page 2 �,.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF ADMINISTRATION. Workable Program applications will be evaluated in light of the varying conditions, backgrounds, problems, and traditions of the par-ticula~ community. In view of the difficulty of establisQing predetermined standards of compliance having equal applicability to all communities throughout the nation, the Department's review and determination will be guided by the statutory requirements, the adequacy of the community's proposed effort as measured against the magnitude of the job to be done, and the constraints of available Federal, State, and local resources. A second major consideration governing the evaluation of application for recertification will be evidence of reasonable continuing progress toward meeting the statutory goals and objectives and -those set forth by the community. 2. REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLJs;:.ATION CONTENT. The Workable Program is the locality's program, and it i s the r esponsibility of the locality to establish goals, action programs , and time t able s for accomplishment in each of the four elements discussed in subsequent chapters. The goals, action programs, and timetables must be approved by the Department, except where otherwise indicated in Chapter 5, pa r agraph 3. Because the emphasis is on the locality 's responsibi l ity to develop its own program tailbred to its own needs and abilities rather than on complying with speci fic Departmental requirements, the community's application must contain sufficient evidence and detail to permit an objective basis for review and evaluation . Therefore, the application must clearly and specifically describe what the community inte nds to do during the next certification period in each of the four Workable Program elements. When applying for r ecertification, the application must also clearly describe what ste ps the community t ook in the l ast period, in order to provide a basis for measurement of the community ' s continuing progress toward meeting the agree d-upon goals and objectives. In developing its "work program" in each of the four elements for the next certification period , the community must also show how the proposed act ivit ies are related to a n analysis of the problems or needs, and t o longer-range tar ge t s for accomplishment. For exampl~ in deve loping a program to meet the r equirement of Chapter 6 to expand the supply of housing for low- and moderate-income families, the applicat ion should show the relationship of it s proposed program and timet ables to an anal ysis of needs in the community and to its longer-range goals or targe ts for expansion of such supply. The questions included in Application Form 1081 are designed to e licit the information and evidence required to provide a reasonable basis for approving or disapproving the community ' s Workable Program Application. Page 1 10/68 �WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT ~HA 7100.1 • I \ ) CHAPTER 2 3. 4. CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION OF WORKABLE PROGRAM APPLICATION. In reviewing a community' s application for certification or recertification of a Workable Program, the Department's assessment will be based on the followin g factors: a. Problem Analysis. Adequacy of the community's analysis of the problems and needs where required by the Workable Program elements. b. Long-Ra nge Goals . Adequacy and reasonableness of the longrange goals and targets for accompli shment proposed by the community for overcoming such problems . c. Action Programs. Adequacy of the specific a ctions and timetables proposed- to be taken by the community during the next period of certification to deal with the problems identifi ed, in light of available resource s and the magnitude of the problems . d. Progress. Demonstration of r easonable continuing progress toward meeting goals and objectives specified by the community. BASIS FOR DETERMINING ACCEPTABILITY . The acceptability of a community's initi a l appl ication for ; certification will be base d on the adequacy of the problem or nee d ana lysis in each of the e l ement s , th e extent to whi ch longer-range goals or targe t s have been identifi ed in r e lation to need, and the adequacy of the proposed action programs, in light of both need and available resources . The acceptability of an application for r ecertifi cation will b e based on t he performance of the community in meeting the goa l s, t argets, and timetable s agr ee d to at the last certification, as well as on the extent to which the proposed l ev e l of e f f ort r epresent s continui ng progr ess fr om the l a s t per i od t oward meeting its longer-range targe t s . When unexpe cte d developments or changed conditions prevent a community from meeting its agr eed- to obj e ctives and time tabl~s, the application for r e certificat ion must include a de tailed explanation of the r ea sons . .) 10/68 Page 2 �WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMEN'T' I RHA 7100.11 CJW>TER 3 ,, CHAPTER 3. 1. ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR WORKABLE PROGRAM CERTIFICATION FILING OF APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATION. Form HUD-1081 is to be used by the community to apply for certification or recertification of its Workable Program. Careful attention to the preparation of format and content will obviate the need for correspondence with the community and thus help to expedite the review and evaluation of the application and its approval. An original and three copies of Form HUD-1081 are to be submitted to the appropriate HUD Regional Office. An application for recertification should be submitted at least 60 days prior to expiration of the community's current Workable Program certification. A community desiring to discuss Workable Program policies and requirements or to obtain assistance and guidance in the preparation of the required Form 1081 should communicate with the HUD Regional Office. 2. GOVERNING BODY APPROVAL OF THE WORKABLE PROO-RAM. Before being submitted to the Regional Office, the application for certification and recertification on Form HUD-1081 must be approved by the executive head and the governing~- body of the community. 3. NOTIFICATION OF APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL. The HUD Regional Office will advise the applicant community of approval or disapproval of the Workable Program application for certification. a. Reasons for Disapproval or Conditional Approval. Applicati9ns may· be disapproved or conditionally approved for ~ither of two reasons listed below; an explanation of the basis for such action will be provided to the community. (1) Failure by the community to carry out the plan of action and timetable it proposed for the last certification period. In the event of disapproval or conditional approval for this reason, the community will be advised of the actions it must take to carry out the plans or steps it initially proposed but did not take and did not provide justification for not taking. ( 2) Inadequacy of plans, programs, and timetables -proposed by the community for the next certification period. In the event of disapproval or conditional approval for this reason, the community will be informed of the nature of Page 1 10/ 68 �WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT I Rl!A 7100.1 • I CHAPTER 3 the inadequacy of its proposed plans and programs, and will be requested to submit additional information needed to remedy such inadequacies. b. 4. Time Limit. Applications that are conditionally approved will provide a reasonable, definite time limit for accomplishment of required actions. In the event of a conditional approval, applications for financial assistance under the applicable HUD programs will be processed, but final approvals will be withheld until the Workable Program is fully approved. ( Once a community's application is approved, no further requirements will be imposed during the period of certification.) CERTIFICATION PERIOD. All Workable Program certifications are for a two-year period. If certification of a Workable Program has expired, the execution of contracts for assistance is precluded with respect to the applicable programs listed in Chapter 1, paragraph 5. Certification is deemed not to expire, however, but rather to continue in effect for the following purposes: a. To provide Federal assistance under Title I of the Housing Act of 1949 for any urban project in the locality with respect to which a loan and grant contract is executed prior to the expiration date. -~.-: i b. To provide Federal assistance under the United States Housing Act of 1937 for any low-rent public housing being undertaken by the locality with respect to which a contract for annual contributions or capital grant is executed prior to the ex-. piration date. c. To provide mortgage and home improvement loan insurance under Section 220 of the National Housing Act with respect to property in the locality situated in: 10/68 (1) The area of any urban renewal project for which a loan and grant contract is executed prior to the expiration date, or (2) Any urban renewal area not involving Federal aid under Title I of the Housing Act of 1949 respecting which prior to the expiration date the Secretary of Housing and Urban Developnent has certified that he has approved the urban renewal plan for the area, that such plan conforms to the general plan for the locality as a whole, and that there exist the -necessary authority and financial capacity to ensure the completion of such urban renewal plan . Page 2 �WORl<".ABLE PROORAM FOR COMMUNITY JMffiOVE:MENT I • RHA 7100.11 CHAPTER 3 d. 5, To provide mortgage insurance under Section 221(d)(3) of the National Housing Act with respect to property in the locality for which a pre-application analysis has been made by the Federal Housing Administration and it has agreed in writing to accept a formal application prior to the expiration date, or located in the area of any urban renewal project for which a loan and grant contract is executed prior to the expiration date. CERTIFICATION LAPSE. Where a Workable Program certification has expired and a lapse has occurred , the community will be required to show the progress made in meeting Workable Program r equirements not only during the period in which the Workable Program was in effect, but also during the lapse d period. Thus, it is important that a community anticipate the expiration -date and initiate the actions necessary to prepare an application for recertification sufficiently in advance of this dat so that lapse may be avoided. 6. .'TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO COMMUNITIES . 7, RELATIONSHIP OF WORKABLE PR(X;RAM AND URBAN RENEWAL REQUIREMENTS. Communities intending to apply for urban renewal assistance should be aware of the following statutory requirements: In accordance with Section lOl(d) of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, the Department will endeavor to the maximum extent possible, to assist communities in meeting their Workable Program objectives. Field reviews of progress will be made as necess~ry midway through the period of certification and Regional Office staff will be available to the ext ent resources permit to provide consultation , advice , and t echnical assistance. a. No loan or grant contract may be e ntered into for an urban renewal project unless the Workable Program 11 is of sufficient scope and content to furnish a basis for evaluation of the need for the urban renewal project, and such project is in accord with the program. 11 b. The plan for an urban r enewal project must "conform to the general plan of the locality as a whole and to the Workable Program . . . " c. In entering into any contract for advances for surveys, plans, and other preliminary urban renewal work, the Secretary must "give consideration to the extent to which appropriate local public bodies have undertaken positive programs (through the adoption, modernization, administration, and enforcement of housing, zoning, building and other local laws, codes, and regulations . . . ) for (1) preventing the spread or recurrence Page 3 10/68 �i' WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT I RHA 7100.1 J CHAPTER 3 in the community of slums and blighted areas, and (2) encouraging housing cost reductions through the use of appropriate new materials, techniques, and methods in land and residential planning, design, and construction, the increase of efficiency in residential construction, and the elimination of restrictive practices which unnecessarily increase housing costs." d. HUD will not authorize a Federal aid contract for a Neighborhood Development Program (NDP) unless there is in existence a certified Workable Pro gram which is of sufficient scope and content to furnish a basis for evaluation of the need for the proposed NDP activities and such activities are in accord with the Workable Program. Communities are advised that because of the above statutory provisions, requirements for urban r enewal assistance may differ from those nec essary for Workable Program certification purposes in the following ways: a. Evaluation of Urban Renewal Need. With respect to subparagraphs a. and d., above, a community int ending to apply for urban renewal or NDP assistance should ensure that the studies undertaken in connection with the planning and programming requirement describ ed in Chapte;r, 5 are of sufficient scope and quality to provide a basis for evaluation of the need for the urban renewal project or NDP activities. In general, the studies carried out under th e Workable Program should be adequate to determine that the area is sufficiently blighted or deteriorated to qualify for an urban renewal or NDP program. Information should be included to illustrate both building and environmental deficiencies, such as overcrowded conditions, exce·ssive densiti es, and so forth . For further information on urban renewal eligibility requirements see RHA 7205.1 of the Urban Renewal Handbook, Chapter 1, General Eligibility Requirements. A community may, if it so wishes, supplement its' Workable Program submission with other related studies having a bearing, such as a Community Renewal Pro gram, General Neighborhood Renewal Program, or other similar studies. b. Renewal Plans. With respect to b ., above, the Urban Renewal Handbook sets forth the following minimum elements of a general plan: land use plan, thoroughfare plan, community facilities plan, public improvement s program, zoning ordinance and map and subdivision regulations . The preparation of such plans ( except for a zoning ordinance or other comparable memo for guiding land usage) is not a prerequisite to the approval of the Workable Program, though many communities may find the preparaof them helpful in the development of general plans to guide 10/68 Page 4 �I.. I WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT RHA 7100.11 CHAPTER 3 • community growth and development, which is a Workable Program requirement describ ed in Chapter 5. In addition, for purpose s of approving specific urban renewal proj ects, a greater de gree of planning completion may be required than would be necessary for Workable Program purposes, e spe cially in smaller communities and others seeking initial certification or recertification. c, .., Codes. With respect to c., above, a community intending to apply for urban renewal assistance is advised that approval of the housing, building , and other code r equir ements of the Workable Pro gram will constitute compliance for urban. r e newal purpose s with Se ction lOl(a) of the Housing Act of 1949, and no additional information will be r equired for that purpo s e. 8. AVAILABILITY OF WORKABLE PR03RAM AS PUBLIC DOCUMENT. Since th e Workable Pro gram is a publi c docume nt , i t must be made available for public perusal a nd examination. At the ir reque st, copies should be made available by the locality to citizen groups and organizations which should be encourage d to participate in the 'develoµn ent and implementation of the Workable Pro gram. 9. GUIDES . Supplementary guide s will be issue d to provide communities with advi ce and illustrat ions in conne ction with carryi ng out the Workable Pro gr am, including des crJption of the s cope a nd conte nt of compr ehensive pl~nni ng progr ams, ways of organizing and carrying out effe ctive r e lo cation and code enforcement pro grams, and means for encouraging and deve loping citi zen involvement.

Page 5 10/68 �WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMEN'r RHA 7100.1 • CHAPTER 7 CHAPTER 7. CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT 1. REQUIREMENTS FOR CITIZEN I NVOLVEMENT. A guiding principle of Departmental policy is to in sure that citizens have the opportunity to participate in policies and prograijls which affect their welfare. Therefore, the Workable Program requires clear evidence that the community provides opportunities for citizens, including those who are poor and members of minority groups, to participate in all HUD assisted programs for which a Workable Program is a requirement, and in the community's plan to expand the supply of low- and moderate-income housing. (S ee Chapter 1, paragraph 5 for li st of applicable HUD programs.) The community will also be expected to show what progress has be en made durin g each certification period to achi eve an adequate and effective degree of citizen involvement. 2. PRINCIPLES AND PURPOSES OF CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT, The growing complexity of urban deve lopme nt and gove rnment organization make it essential that widespr ead opportunities for citizen involvement be created, including opportunities for poor and minority groups, for many reasons. In some cases, existing local institutions seem unable to identify the serious proplems of many citizens, as the citizens define them. In turn, th e people may feel cut off from their public r epresentative·s', and lack understanding of what government is doing to and for them. At the same time, traditional acts of pa rticipa.tion--voting , attendance at meetings, letters to Congressmen-- are frequently ineffective in dealing with the immediate problems raised by increasingly l ar ge and complex programs having direct impact on peoples' lives. For these reasons, new forms of collaborative relationships between citizens and government, new means for participation in the decision-making process, need to be developed. Recognizing th e need for experimentation and innovation, the Workable Program does not contain any specific requirements for the form that citizen participation must take. Tne choice of mechanisms depends upon the needs of the particular community and the structure of the local government. However, there are certain principles and objectives which should underlie the community's effort. One is that the community's responsibility does not end with the establishment of a particular mechanism or . set of mechanisms. The Workable Program requires continuing effort on the part of the community to improve and expand the opportunities for creative forms of participation and collaboration that both ensure repres entation by poor and minority groups. as well as enable government to take effective, purposeful, and expert action to deal with the problems and needs facing the community. It is essentia l that the participation be satisfying, rewarding, and not frustratin g if it is to achieve the basic objective of cr eating and sustaining a vo luntary union and mutual trust between governand its citizens. p 338- 597 0 - 60 - J Page 1 11/68 �WORKABLE PROORAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT I RHA 7100.1 " CHAPTER 7 3, EXAMPLES OF CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT ACTIVITIES. It is important that the community deve lop specific plans for achieving and maintaining adequate and e ffective citizen involveme nt in the programs covere d. A community may establish a new community-wide advisory committee embracing all major interests~ including the poor and members of minority groups or may create several new special-purpose groups, or may make b ette r utilization of existing organi zations. Communities which already have establishe d ef.fective citizen advisory committees for Workable Program purposes are encouraged to retain them and improve their effectiveness. Communities participating in the Mode l Cities program or other programs involving a high degree of citizen participation are encouraged to coordinate the citizen involvement activities under the Workable Program with the citi zen pa rtic ipat ion r equirements of th ese programs , where applicable. In addition to establishing appropriate organizational means for citizen involvement, a community may wish to take such steps as the following in orde-r - t o- further the objectives of this element: a. .. .. , , , b. The developfilent of specific function s for c itizen committees, such as having t hem hold public hearings , prepare comments on Workable Program appli cation s , evalua t e proj ect pla n s , conduct interviews and surveys of neighborhood residents ' views, etc. The development of specific methods by which the community can establi sh a basis for insuring there will be fa ir and reasonable r epr esentativeness of advisory committee s participa ting in th e Workable Program. For example , one method by which to compo se a community-wide advisory committee might be to choose repres entatives in equal proportions, from private neighborhood groups, government program-connected advisory groups, and civic groups. / 4. c. The establi shment of a planning group t o he l p develop new ideas and t e chniques for generating greater involvement among poor and di sadva ntaged groups . d. The pr ovision of funds and technical assistance to neighborhood and other advisory groups so they may become be tter informed and equippe d t o deal with complex redevelopment problems. e. The assignment of specific activities in HUD- assiste d pro j ects to de signate d ne ighborhood groups, such as evaluating site and design cons ide r ations, e stablishing information centers, and making recommendations with r espect to housing project regulation s.

'---· · The City of Atlanta is pres ent ly engaged in eight Urban Renewal Projects and five Neighborhood Developme nt Program Projects (3 in execution, 2 in Thes e projects are fund ed jointly by the City and the planning only).

The funding arrangement calls for a contribution equal to one~third of the Net Project costs from tha City with the· re~ rnaini.ng two--thirds being suppJied by ·che Federal Gov ernmen t. The City's share may b e in the form of ca sh contributions or non-ca sh grants-in-aid, th e se grnrits-in- aid are demo lition and removal work, project or site i ~prov eme nt s , public and supporting facilities, and other s such as credits fro~ construc~ion of public housings.

January, 1968 OUTLIN"E .INTRODUCTION IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIZATION PROCEDURES FOR PLANNING PROBLEM ANALYSIS, GOAIB & PROGRA..M STRATEGY STATEMENT - GUIDE TO COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN PLANNI NG (1) Discussion Reports (2) Distributien of Rep0rts ATTACHMENTS Discussion Reports Chart Report #1 - Problem .Analysis, Sample Outline �IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIZATION If the planning of the Model Neighborhood Program is to be successful, it is absolutely essential that all key participants ·i.ir the program are well organized. This means that the following organi zational matters should be accomplished before planning begins. 1. The Model Neighborhood Executive Boa rd should be formed to act as the ultimate authori ty of the pr@gram. It should allow representation from all levels of gover-JLment - city, county, state, and federal; residents of the Model Nei ghborhood area; and residents of the city-at-large. 2. The Model Neighborhood staff should be f ormed, including the executive director, the three chief planners and the technical staff. 3. Stable local organizations which adequ at el y represent the residents of the various neighborhoods in the area should be in operation. While those organizations should be representative of the interests of all residents and give everyone a voice in their affairs, they should not be se cumbersome that they cannot work effectively with the planners. In other words, it will be physica.JJ..v impossible for the planners to carry all of their work directly to the 'grass roots' organizations of the area. This may be necessary for some key issues, but for the most part planners will have to work with a small committee of 10-20 persons if they are to accomplish anything worthwhile. �COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN PLANNING OF MODEL NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAM INTRODUCTION The Model Neighborhood Program offers an excellent opportunity to bring about basic improvements in one of the most problematic areas of Atlanta. The area selected for the pr0gram contains all the varied and complicated forms of urban blight which plague American cities today, from overcrowded, su~standard housing to incompatible land use mj_xtures to poer street conditions and inadequate community facilities to all facets of socio-economic poverty and deprivation. Most of these conditions have deep roots and are so complex and of such a nature that it will take nothing less than a special concentrated long-term effort to eliminate them. So far no major city in the country has been successful in eliminating them. The Model Neighborhood Program can bring about t he special concentrated effort which is needed to alleviate the conditions of the ' Model Neighborhood' area. It is designed to pool the resources of the city, county, state, and federal governments along with tho se of private interest groups to make a total attack on the serious and widespread problems of the area for a period of several years. The funds it provides will support the pr gram through the planning and implementation stages. However, if the Model Neighborhood Program is to avoid the mistakes of many previous efforts to help slwn residents it is very important that the pr gram be carefully planned and that local residents be involved throughout all stages of planning. The purpose of this report is to show how c mmunity par ticipation ean be effectively fitted into the planning f the M del Nei~hborho0d Pr gram. -2- �Hence the neighborhood groups of the area should be capable of fer.ming such a cemmittee which can wor k with the planners and relay this work to the 'grass ro0ts' groups . It has been suggested that the steering committee of the various neighb0rhood gr oups in the area serve this function . PROCEDURES FOR PLANNING The federal government has set the pr ocedure s for the planning of the Model NeighborhQod Program. The period allowed f or planning is one year, beginning with the date of the congressional announcement of the program (Nov. 15, 1967 - Nov• . 15, 1968). During t his period t he foll0wing planning items have to be submitted to the fe de ral government for approval: 1. Problem Analysis, Goals & Progra~ Strategy Statement 2. Five -Year Pl an 3. Firs t-Year Action Progr am 4. Pl anning and Evaluation Progr am S. Statement of Administ rative St ructLITe for Impl ement ation Of t hese planning submission requirements , the firs t one - the Problem Analysis, Goals and Program St rategy'Statemeht - i s probably the most important, as it will set the stage for the rest of the planning effort. It will establish the general orientation of the Five-Year Plan and the FirstYear Action Program and will initiate the general procedures for community participation in planning. Thus, it can serve as a guide as to how the local residents will be involved in plam1ing. -3- �PROBLEM ANALYSIS, GOALS AND PROGRAM STRATEGY STAT~j§JIT-GUIDE TO COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN PLANNING The preparation of the Problem Analysis, Goals and Program Strategy is divided into three stages or milestones: Strategy. Problem Analysis; Goals; and It is intended that the Model Neighborhood planning staff and the community will be working cl0sely toget her in this preparation so that the best of their ideas will go into the f inal statement submitted to HUD. (1) DISCUSSION REPORTS The basis 0f the working relationship between the Model Neighborhood planning st aff and community will cent er ar oLU1d discussion repor ts to cover each milestone: Problems; Goals; and Strategy. These reports will be done by the planning staff and designed to st imulate discussion among t he r esi dents . They will not be the f inal word on anything, but merely present t he information available to the pl anning st aff so as to initi ate community involvement and discussion on t he significant pl anni ng is sues. The community will be able to criticize , add to and/or subtract from the reports . F0r exampl e , t he f irst r epor t will cover the subject: Problem Analysis and attempt to identify and survey the major condi t ions and problems of the Model Neighborhood area which ju st ify treatment. a. It will: define and document the major conditi0ns And problems as far as available data will allow and according to f ollowing categories: employment; housing ; schools; recreation ; land use; health services; family, legal services; police protection.; ,and 'ether. -4- �b. preseBt the i..nforrnati0n in a simple and concise manner so th2t lay citizens will have a minimum amount of tr<:mble in reading it. c. provide a brief questionnaire on which residents can rate the priority of problems in their community according to the above categories in (a). d. provide space in which residents caD criticize the contents of the report, i.e., redefine problems, r eorganize data, contribute additional ideas, etc. (2) DISTRIBUTION OF REPORTS The reports are to be distributed to each of the six communicities in the Model Neighborhood area. They will include infonnation on the area as a whole and on the particular community to which it is distributed. It probably will not be feasible to get written responses from all residents ef the area. But perhaps certain people frem each community could be responsible for surveying the responses of the residents, summarizing them, and writing them down to be ret urned to the planning staff. The reports will be all wed to circulate for a maximum period of two weeks. This should give enough time for r esidents to gather up their written responses te the report. Also during this time it would be desirable to have a general meeting in each community, whe r e residents can _freely express their own ideas ab0ut the subj ect matter of the report. After this circulation period which hopefully will br ing about fruitful dialogue and exchanges between the planners and the cormnunity, the planning staff should then be in a position to draw up final reports on Pr blems, Goals and St rategy which fully incorporate the ideas of �the residents. These reports would then make up the final Problem Analysis, Goals, and Pregram Strategy Sta tement .

I The committee expressed its concern about a tract immediately to the north lying in unincorporated . Fulton County which, upon approval of this annexation petition, would become landlocked and asked if it could be included along with this petition. Mr. Gladin explained this is one type of problem you incur in the petition route and it could not be legally included, but could be brought up at the next filing period in May, 1970. The committee felt this would be highly desirable and should be encouraged at that time. Mr. Eugene Anderson, part-owner of the tract which would become appeared speaking for himself and Mrs. Schneider, also part-owner, be willing to have their property annexed; that, however, he could for Mr. Steinmetz, another owner, but Mr. Steinmetz had told him to be annexed. landlocked, stating they would not officially speak he would be willing In answer to questioning by Mr. Cook, Mr. Anderson stated the C-1 zoning approved by the · county was done so as part of an overall Medical Complex proposal which subsequently fel I_ through much to their regret and loss, and there is no commercial development in the area presently. There being no further discussion, the_ matter was referred to Executive Session. In Executive Session, upon unanimous vote, this petition was approved by the committee. 1 . B. PUBLIC HEARING - ANNEXATION PETITION BY JOHN E. LIVADITIS GARMON ROAD. There was no opposition present. A detailed report relative to this petition certifying its compliance with State Enabling Le gislation and app licabl e city ordinances was presented to ea ch committee member pre sent and the staff recommended approva l . The property li es in Land Lot 177 of the 17th District and is approximately 2 acres in si z e. Mr. G ladi n stated the property is presently zoned R- 1 (Reside ntial) a nd would be annexed as R-1; that all services are available, or can be provided upon request (lettersto this e ffect are a part of the report). (- ,, Mr. Li vaditis was present a long with his representative, Robert Smith . Mr . Smith acknowledged the y were aware of the fact there a re no existing sewers to the property and . the present plans are to use two septic tanks, but the y are hopeful of working out an easement agreement with the adjoi ning property owner to connect with an outfall �Minutes Planning and Development Committee July 18, 1969 - Page Three sewer 150 feet from Mr. Livaditis 1 property line. Mr. Cook called to Mr. Smith's attention a letter in the report from the Public Works Department stating that sanitary sewer is not available for the property to be annexed on Garmon Road and would not be available until approved by the property owners along this section. Mr. Smith stated they realized securing the easement would be difficult but were still hopeful it could be worked out, and in the meantime, the septic tanks are an alternative. Mr. Smith stated Mr. Livaditis is ready to begin bricking the house and doesn't have any water; since there is a charge to tap onto the water fo r property outside the city, he wanted to know if final approval of this petition by the Board of Aldermen would be expedited to relieve him from having to pay this charge. A check with the Water De partment indicated that if this committee approves the annexation peti t ion today, they would not charge Mr. Livaditis to tap onto the water prior to final approval of the petition. Messrs. Smith and Livaditis expressed their appreciation to the committee. The matter was then refe rred to Executive Session, and upon unanimous vote, this petition was approved by the committee. 2. STATUS OF RECERTIFICATION OF WORKABLE PROGRAM Pie rce Mahon y explaine d tha t the Planning staff is progressing rapidly toward completion of work fo r recerti fi ca t ion of the Wo rka ble Prog ram for a two- ye a r period, ra t he r than one ye a r which has been approve d in the past . He stated the re have bee n considerable revisi ons in the req uire me nts of the p rog ram fo r recert ification, mak ing it much more diffic ul t to pu t toge ther a nd committi ng us to a much more sol id app roach . He comme nted brie fl y on some o f the new aspe c ts of the progra m, such a s the housing and re loca ti on element and the departme nt's antici pa ted part icipa tio n in the HUD 701 p la nning p rog ra m. He explained a federa l requireme nt fo r particip ati o n in the 701 progra m is that one portion of the p lanning studies be a housing study; further, the person ne l situation throughout the city , especia lly in the te ch nica l and p rofe ssiona l leve l', is getting' serious and the Planning Department ho pe s to so lve some o f its prob lem s by hiring tempo rary personnel on 701 planning programs w ho coul d move into permanent planning vacancies as they occu r. He went on to say these new requirements, particularly housing planning fo r low and moderate income families, points up the critical need for the Urban Information System �c. Minutes Planning and Development Committee July 18, 1969 - Page Four for the city, because of the various and sundry data which can be obtained from it on immediate notice, and he urged the committee's support in implementation of this system. He presented a draft of "Workable Program Five-Year Goals II and stated the city wi II be committed to these goals and emphasized the need to begin considering an advance two-year budget. Considerable discussion then ensued about the status of the Mayor's Housing Program. Colonel Jones of the Housing Resources Committee stated that the city is about halfway through the initial five-year program. He cited figures for the two and one-half year period, stating we have under construction and completed approximately 8,000 units, and we have in the pipeline more units than the original goal of 17,000. He sta ted, however, a lot of !re units in planning are being lost because we do not have properly zoned locations to put them on. Mr. Cook asked on what basis units are classified as being in the "planning stage". C·. .• Mr. Jones explained they are put in this category when a rezoning application is filed and a proposal is submitted; if the zoning is denied, they are taken out; that more zonings for this purpose have been denied than approved. He cited the loss of 21,000 units through recent rezoning denials . Mr. Cook state d this doesn't concur with figures he obtained from the Planning Department. Mr. Gladin explained the staff analysis referre d to was done about a ye ar ago and at that time the zoning approvals were running about 80-90%; that the staff is in the process of p reparing an up-to- date analysis o{ the housing program . Mr. Cook ds ked for and was furnished with a copy of Mr. Jones' late st housing report. Afte r a cu rsory examination, Mr . Cook expressed conce rn ab out the disc repancy in fi g ures contai ned in the repo rt and those sta ted ora lly by Colone l J ones. Being a me mbe r of the Zoning Committee, he state d he was tired of charges being made that the ci ty's housing goa ls we re not be ing me t because of rez oning de nial s as he did not be li e ve this to be the case, a nd he finds it very confusing and frustating to be unable to justify his positi on whe n he is unabl e to secure re li ab le statis tics; that he would Iike statisti cs differen ti a ting wha t pe rce ntage of the 8,000 uni ts quoted by Colone l J ones is ac tually low and moderate income housi ng . Mr. Kennedy stated he ha d ve ry strong rese rvations that this perce ntage was q uite low , that as stated by Mr. G ladi n , the Plann ing staff is in the process of ana lyz ing the Housing Program for the la st two and one- ha lf years a nd he fe lt this report would produce the type statistics Mr. Cook is looking for. C. �( _ Minutes Planning and Development Committee July 18, 1969 - Page Five -: Mr. Gladin stated he realized the problems in working with the housing figures, and again this points up the need for good management procedures, which need to be standardized, and the Urban Information System for quick delivery of these statistics over a period of time. He also commented on the need for more emphasis on the city's total housing needs. Mr. Cook directed the staff to prepare a letter for his signature to Colonel Jones requesting clarification on the following: l. Is the actual number of units under construction and completed for the last two and one-half years the 8,000 oral figure given by Colonel Jones, or the 12,000 figure in his report of May 15, 1969; 2. What percentage of this figure is for low and moderate income housing; 3. The method used for determining what is low and moderate income housing, the name of the projects and the number of units in each project. He stated that in looking at the May 15 report and oral figures by Colonel Jones, it would appear we a re moving backwards and this prompted Mr. Flanigen to remark he had no doubt but what the program is "slipping". _p.?) ~ it: it 1to.~1 ' w if) ~ w n. With additi anal reference to the housing question, Mr. Mahony stated that at the last meeting of the Housing Resources Committee, the Legal Panel discussed the need for establishing a Housing Planning Agency within the city government to relieve the Housing Resources Commi t te e membe rs who are present ly spending an inord inate amount of time doing su rveys and research in the field of housing . He stated the logical place for such a housing function would be in the Planning Depa rtment, particularly in light of the 701 planning p rogram; that the staff would like the committe e's support; and he prese nted a le tter for Mr. Cook 's signa tu re as Chai rman of the Planning and De ve lopmen t Commi ttee supporting the department's position . Colone l Jo ne s sta ted tha t the Legal Panel has been studying this matter, but the y have no t subm itted a posi tion report to Mr . Ale xander a nd he does not kn ow what type of report w il I be subm it te d if and whe n it is, and he felt any action by t his committee on this matter would be pre mature a t t his ti me . ~ ~ ~ Q:: 0 0 c·-~ C!) M r. Gladin stated the letter does not request an y fina l a ction; tha t it mere ly makes a recommendation for the Ho using Re sou rces Committee t o consider in making their recommendation. Colonel Jones stated he sti II felt the letter was in anticipation of something and prematu re. �Minutes Planning and Development Committee July 18, 1969 - Page · Six Mr. Mahony commented that the Planning Deportment fee Is very strong Iy about this and consequently wanted to take a positive approach, rather than waiting for a proposal from the Housing Resources Committee and reacting. The committee unanimously approved the letter and Mr. Cook appended his signature thereto. Referring back to the status report on the Workable Program, Mr. Gladin stated the staff hopes to present the final draft to this committee July 28, 1969 for review, and will request committee approval at a meeting on August I, 1969; it will then be forwarded to the ne x t meeting of the Board of Aldermen where, hopefully, it will be finally approved and hand delivered that same afternoon to HUD. This will give HUD ample review time prior to the October expiration date for last year's recertification. *** *** ** Mr. Mahony explained the City of Mountain View, Clayton County and the City of Atlanta have common problems in the Plunkettown area which require joint study and action to solve.

DEPARTME N T OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT WASH I NGTON , D. C. 204 10 �• PREFACE FOR WORKABLE PROGRAM HANDBOOK 'Ihis Handbook sets forth a new approach and revised requirements to guide localities that are carrying out a Workable Program for Community Improvement. It represents the first major revision of the Workable Program procedures since enactment of the statutory provision in 1954-, We have several objectives which we hope will be achieved by the revision. One is to respond to the many changes that have taken place in our urban areas over the years. Another is to ensure that our requirements for the Workable Program are focused on performance by localities in dealing with the problem of slums and blight~-not just on compliance with operational procedures. Above all, the purpose is to give local communities both flexibility an4 the responsibility to develop effective programs to achieve the objectives of the statute in light of the particular nature of problems and conditions existing in each locality. ' ' '.Ihe substitution of performance standards for certain formal elements of the Workable Program does not represent any easing in current substantive requi rements. Nor does the Handbook envision any reduction in efforts by communities now participating in the program. The introduction of a performance-oriented approach hopefully will result in a more effective attack on the major problems facing the community. I am confident that, after more than a decade of experience with the Workable Program, the Federal-local partnership has the maturity to operate effectively under the new approach of this Handbook and thereby we can make more meaningful progress toward overcoming the urgent problems facing our cities and towns today. Robert C. Weaver Secretary 1 11/ 68 �WORKABLE PRCGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT RHA 7100.11 • FOREWORD This Handbook sets forth revised policies, requirements, and procedures for communities required to carry out a Workable Program for Community Improvement in connection with the use of certain Departmental housing and renewal programs to help overcome probiems of slums and blight. -Workable Program Guides containing illustrative and advisory information will be issued to supplement this Handbook. The revised policies and requirements set forth herein are effective upon issuance of this Handbook. Tnose communities which already have submitted or· have substantially completed documentation in support of an application for certification or recertification of a Workable Program need not revise the material . However, communities may use the revised forms described in this Handbook immediately . After March 31, 1969, all applications for certification or recertification of a Workable Program must be in conformance with the revised policies and requirements. The primary objective of the revision is to provide a fle:x:i.ble and performance-oriented framework within which communities may demonstrate reasonable continuing progress toward· achieving the goals sought by the statutory requirement for a Workable Program and those established by the community to implement them. The revision also modifies reporting and documenta~ion requirements and provides new criteria for evaluating community performance. The revised Workable Program concentrates on four essential areas: a. The · adoption and enforcement of housing, building, and related codes. b. The establishment of an effective action-oriented planning and programming process. c. The developnent of programs to meet low- and moderate- income housing needs and to meet relocation needs of families , individuals, and business concerns displaced by governmental action. ii 11/68 �WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNI'IY IMPROVEMENT • IRHA 7100.1 d. I The involvement of citizens, including poor and minority groups, in Workable Program activities and in related HUDassisted housing and renewal programs. The intent of this Handbook is to strengthen the Workable Program as a flexible and meaningful tool to help communities organize and carry out its community improvement programs. The Handbook envisions no lessening of effort by communities which h~ve been participating under previous Workable Program guidelines. Rather, it is anticipated that communities will make greater :grogress toward achieving the obj ectives of the statute with the increased flexibility provided by the Handbook to concentrate local efforts and tailor specific needs and problems facing the community. Applications for certtfic?tion in accordance with the requirements of this Handbook which propose a program with an overall leve l of effort below that made in the past, will not be acceptable. Certifications and recertifications of Workable Programs will be e ffective for two years. Field reviews of progress will be made as necessary by HUD Regional Office staff midway through the certification period to provide advice and t echnical assistance. HUD-assisted programs to which the Workable Program applies are listed in Chapter 1, paragraph 5. A community intending to make application for financial assistance under any of these pro grams should become familiar with the policies and requirement s set forth in this Handbook. An understanding of these policies and requirements will facilitate the preparation of the application for certification or recertification of the community 's Workable Program and thus help to expedite the processing of applications for financial assistance for specific programs. 10/ 68 iii �J - HtJD REGIONAL OFFICES RIDIONAL ADMINISTRATOR ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER I Judah Gribetz 26 Federal Plaza, New York, N.Y. 10007 Area Code 212 264-8068 Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode· Island, Vermont n Warren P.

SUMMARY OF WORKABLE PROGRAM PURPOSES AND REQUIREMENTS STATU'IORY PROVISION. The Housing Act of 1949, as amended, requires as a condition of certain financial assistance, the following: 11 ••• a workable program for co~unity improvement (which shall include an official plan of action, as it exists from time to time, for effectively dealing with the problem of urban slums and blight within the community and for the establishment and preservation of a well-planned community with well-organized environment for adequate family life) for utilizing appropriate private and public resources to eliminate and prevent the develoµnent or spread of slums and urban blight, to encourage needed urban rehabilitation, to provide for redevelopnent of blighted, deteriorated, or slum areas, or to undertake such of the aforesaid activities or other feasible community activities as may be suitably employed to achieve the objectives of such a program." The statute also requires the ad.option and effective enforcement of a minimum standards housing code, as described in Chapter 4. In addition to the Workable Program requirements contained herein, communities are advised that various HUD-assistance programs may contain additionab separate requirements tailored to meet specific program needs (e.g. relocation requirements of the urban renewal program, general planning requirements for water and sewer, or open space land grants). See Chapter 3, paragraph 7, for further information. 2. BASIC PURPOSE OF STATU'IORY PROVISION. The basic purpose of the Workable Program requirement is to ensure that communities desiring to utilize funds for renewal and housing programs understand the array of forces that create slums and blight and are willing to recognize and .take the steps within their power to prevent and overcome urban blight. The Workable Program is based on recognition that the Federal and local relationship is one of partnership in the task, and that Federal funds for renewal and housing projects cannot, by themselves, be effective unless localities exercise the full range of their powers in community efforts on a sustained and coordinated basis to the objective of preventing and eradicating slums and blight. 3. SUMMARY OF WORKABLE PROORAM REQUIREMENTS, The specific requirements of the Workable Program are based on the statutory objectives described above and are designed to provide a flexible framework Page 1 u/63 �T WORKABLE PRCGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT " I l RHA 7100.1 J CHAPTER 1 for organizing community efforts to eliminate and prevent slums and blight. The Workable Program calls for progress in the following four areas: a. Code Adoption and Enforcement. The adoption of housing, building, and related codes, and development of an effective code enforceme nt program which is at least adequate to de a l with areas having high priority need for en£orcement, including both blighted areas and basically sound but deteriorating neighborhoods, and which is gear ed toward eventual community-wi de compliance with such codes. b. Planning and Programming. The establishment of a continuing public planning and programming process which develops action programs within a comprehensive planning framework for overcoming the major physical, social, and e conomic problems related to the slum and blighted areas of the community, and for establishing and preserving a well- planned community with suitable l i ving environment for family life . c. Housing and Relocation. The development of a centralized or coordinated program for assisting in the relocation of all persons and business concer_n;, displace d by public action in the community and the development of a proi~ ~ to expand the supply of housing for l ow- and mode rate-inc0u1E. famili es on the basis of equa l opportunity. d. Citizen Involvement . The establishment of programs designed to achieve meaningful involvement of citizens, including poor and minority groups , in planning and carrying out HUD-ass i sted programs related to th e Workable Program. A detailed explanati on of th e policies and r equirements for each of the above four areas is s e t forth in subseque nt chapte rs of this Handbook. 4. LOCAL ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS. In carrying out Workabl e Program responsibil i ties, many different local agencies and offices will necessarily b e involved, together with various public a nd private institutions, organization s , and individuals. For e xample , building departments, planning agencies, health offices, housing authorities, urban renewal agencies, neighborhood organizat i ons, private builder s and dev e l opers may b e involved to proyide the wide range of resources needed to meet Workable Program obj ectives. While no specific a dministrative s tructure i s r equired by the Workable Progr am, a community will be expect e d to meet t he gene ral r equirement for establi shme nt of an administrative me chanism 11/68 Page 2 �,.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF ADMINISTRATION. Workable Program applications will be evaluated in light of the varying conditions, backgrounds, problems, and traditions of the par-ticula~ community. In view of the difficulty of establisQing predetermined standards of compliance having equal applicability to all communities throughout the nation, the Department's review and determination will be guided by the statutory requirements, the adequacy of the community's proposed effort as measured against the magnitude of the job to be done, and the constraints of available Federal, State, and local resources. A second major consideration governing the evaluation of application for recertification will be evidence of reasonable continuing progress toward meeting the statutory goals and objectives and -those set forth by the community. 2. REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLJs;:.ATION CONTENT. The Workable Program is the locality's program, and it i s the r esponsibility of the locality to establish goals, action programs , and time t able s for accomplishment in each of the four elements discussed in subsequent chapters. The goals, action programs, and timetables must be approved by the Department, except where otherwise indicated in Chapter 5, pa r agraph 3. Because the emphasis is on the locality 's responsibi l ity to develop its own program tailbred to its own needs and abilities rather than on complying with speci fic Departmental requirements, the community's application must contain sufficient evidence and detail to permit an objective basis for review and evaluation . Therefore, the application must clearly and specifically describe what the community inte nds to do during the next certification period in each of the four Workable Program elements. When applying for r ecertification, the application must also clearly describe what ste ps the community t ook in the l ast period, in order to provide a basis for measurement of the community ' s continuing progress toward meeting the agree d-upon goals and objectives. In developing its "work program" in each of the four elements for the next certification period , the community must also show how the proposed act ivit ies are related to a n analysis of the problems or needs, and t o longer-range tar ge t s for accomplishment. For exampl~ in deve loping a program to meet the r equirement of Chapter 6 to expand the supply of housing for low- and moderate-income families, the applicat ion should show the relationship of it s proposed program and timet ables to an anal ysis of needs in the community and to its longer-range goals or targe ts for expansion of such supply. The questions included in Application Form 1081 are designed to e licit the information and evidence required to provide a reasonable basis for approving or disapproving the community ' s Workable Program Application. Page 1 10/68 �WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT ~HA 7100.1 • I \ ) CHAPTER 2 3. 4. CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION OF WORKABLE PROGRAM APPLICATION. In reviewing a community' s application for certification or recertification of a Workable Program, the Department's assessment will be based on the followin g factors: a. Problem Analysis. Adequacy of the community's analysis of the problems and needs where required by the Workable Program elements. b. Long-Ra nge Goals . Adequacy and reasonableness of the longrange goals and targets for accompli shment proposed by the community for overcoming such problems . c. Action Programs. Adequacy of the specific a ctions and timetables proposed- to be taken by the community during the next period of certification to deal with the problems identifi ed, in light of available resource s and the magnitude of the problems . d. Progress. Demonstration of r easonable continuing progress toward meeting goals and objectives specified by the community. BASIS FOR DETERMINING ACCEPTABILITY . The acceptability of a community's initi a l appl ication for ; certification will be base d on the adequacy of the problem or nee d ana lysis in each of the e l ement s , th e extent to whi ch longer-range goals or targe t s have been identifi ed in r e lation to need, and the adequacy of the proposed action programs, in light of both need and available resources . The acceptability of an application for r ecertifi cation will b e based on t he performance of the community in meeting the goa l s, t argets, and timetable s agr ee d to at the last certification, as well as on the extent to which the proposed l ev e l of e f f ort r epresent s continui ng progr ess fr om the l a s t per i od t oward meeting its longer-range targe t s . When unexpe cte d developments or changed conditions prevent a community from meeting its agr eed- to obj e ctives and time tabl~s, the application for r e certificat ion must include a de tailed explanation of the r ea sons . .) 10/68 Page 2 �WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMEN'T' I RHA 7100.11 CJW>TER 3 ,, CHAPTER 3. 1. ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR WORKABLE PROGRAM CERTIFICATION FILING OF APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATION. Form HUD-1081 is to be used by the community to apply for certification or recertification of its Workable Program. Careful attention to the preparation of format and content will obviate the need for correspondence with the community and thus help to expedite the review and evaluation of the application and its approval. An original and three copies of Form HUD-1081 are to be submitted to the appropriate HUD Regional Office. An application for recertification should be submitted at least 60 days prior to expiration of the community's current Workable Program certification. A community desiring to discuss Workable Program policies and requirements or to obtain assistance and guidance in the preparation of the required Form 1081 should communicate with the HUD Regional Office. 2. GOVERNING BODY APPROVAL OF THE WORKABLE PROO-RAM. Before being submitted to the Regional Office, the application for certification and recertification on Form HUD-1081 must be approved by the executive head and the governing~- body of the community. 3. NOTIFICATION OF APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL. The HUD Regional Office will advise the applicant community of approval or disapproval of the Workable Program application for certification. a. Reasons for Disapproval or Conditional Approval. Applicati9ns may· be disapproved or conditionally approved for ~ither of two reasons listed below; an explanation of the basis for such action will be provided to the community. (1) Failure by the community to carry out the plan of action and timetable it proposed for the last certification period. In the event of disapproval or conditional approval for this reason, the community will be advised of the actions it must take to carry out the plans or steps it initially proposed but did not take and did not provide justification for not taking. ( 2) Inadequacy of plans, programs, and timetables -proposed by the community for the next certification period. In the event of disapproval or conditional approval for this reason, the community will be informed of the nature of Page 1 10/ 68 �WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT I Rl!A 7100.1 • I CHAPTER 3 the inadequacy of its proposed plans and programs, and will be requested to submit additional information needed to remedy such inadequacies. b. 4. Time Limit. Applications that are conditionally approved will provide a reasonable, definite time limit for accomplishment of required actions. In the event of a conditional approval, applications for financial assistance under the applicable HUD programs will be processed, but final approvals will be withheld until the Workable Program is fully approved. ( Once a community's application is approved, no further requirements will be imposed during the period of certification.) CERTIFICATION PERIOD. All Workable Program certifications are for a two-year period. If certification of a Workable Program has expired, the execution of contracts for assistance is precluded with respect to the applicable programs listed in Chapter 1, paragraph 5. Certification is deemed not to expire, however, but rather to continue in effect for the following purposes: a. To provide Federal assistance under Title I of the Housing Act of 1949 for any urban project in the locality with respect to which a loan and grant contract is executed prior to the expiration date. -~.-: i b. To provide Federal assistance under the United States Housing Act of 1937 for any low-rent public housing being undertaken by the locality with respect to which a contract for annual contributions or capital grant is executed prior to the ex-. piration date. c. To provide mortgage and home improvement loan insurance under Section 220 of the National Housing Act with respect to property in the locality situated in: 10/68 (1) The area of any urban renewal project for which a loan and grant contract is executed prior to the expiration date, or (2) Any urban renewal area not involving Federal aid under Title I of the Housing Act of 1949 respecting which prior to the expiration date the Secretary of Housing and Urban Developnent has certified that he has approved the urban renewal plan for the area, that such plan conforms to the general plan for the locality as a whole, and that there exist the -necessary authority and financial capacity to ensure the completion of such urban renewal plan . Page 2 �WORl<".ABLE PROORAM FOR COMMUNITY JMffiOVE:MENT I • RHA 7100.11 CHAPTER 3 d. 5, To provide mortgage insurance under Section 221(d)(3) of the National Housing Act with respect to property in the locality for which a pre-application analysis has been made by the Federal Housing Administration and it has agreed in writing to accept a formal application prior to the expiration date, or located in the area of any urban renewal project for which a loan and grant contract is executed prior to the expiration date. CERTIFICATION LAPSE. Where a Workable Program certification has expired and a lapse has occurred , the community will be required to show the progress made in meeting Workable Program r equirements not only during the period in which the Workable Program was in effect, but also during the lapse d period. Thus, it is important that a community anticipate the expiration -date and initiate the actions necessary to prepare an application for recertification sufficiently in advance of this dat so that lapse may be avoided. 6. .'TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO COMMUNITIES . 7, RELATIONSHIP OF WORKABLE PR(X;RAM AND URBAN RENEWAL REQUIREMENTS. Communities intending to apply for urban renewal assistance should be aware of the following statutory requirements: In accordance with Section lOl(d) of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, the Department will endeavor to the maximum extent possible, to assist communities in meeting their Workable Program objectives. Field reviews of progress will be made as necess~ry midway through the period of certification and Regional Office staff will be available to the ext ent resources permit to provide consultation , advice , and t echnical assistance. a. No loan or grant contract may be e ntered into for an urban renewal project unless the Workable Program 11 is of sufficient scope and content to furnish a basis for evaluation of the need for the urban renewal project, and such project is in accord with the program. 11 b. The plan for an urban r enewal project must "conform to the general plan of the locality as a whole and to the Workable Program . . . " c. In entering into any contract for advances for surveys, plans, and other preliminary urban renewal work, the Secretary must "give consideration to the extent to which appropriate local public bodies have undertaken positive programs (through the adoption, modernization, administration, and enforcement of housing, zoning, building and other local laws, codes, and regulations . . . ) for (1) preventing the spread or recurrence Page 3 10/68 �i' WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT I RHA 7100.1 J CHAPTER 3 in the community of slums and blighted areas, and (2) encouraging housing cost reductions through the use of appropriate new materials, techniques, and methods in land and residential planning, design, and construction, the increase of efficiency in residential construction, and the elimination of restrictive practices which unnecessarily increase housing costs." d. HUD will not authorize a Federal aid contract for a Neighborhood Development Program (NDP) unless there is in existence a certified Workable Pro gram which is of sufficient scope and content to furnish a basis for evaluation of the need for the proposed NDP activities and such activities are in accord with the Workable Program. Communities are advised that because of the above statutory provisions, requirements for urban r enewal assistance may differ from those nec essary for Workable Program certification purposes in the following ways: a. Evaluation of Urban Renewal Need. With respect to subparagraphs a. and d., above, a community int ending to apply for urban renewal or NDP assistance should ensure that the studies undertaken in connection with the planning and programming requirement describ ed in Chapte;r, 5 are of sufficient scope and quality to provide a basis for evaluation of the need for the urban renewal project or NDP activities. In general, the studies carried out under th e Workable Program should be adequate to determine that the area is sufficiently blighted or deteriorated to qualify for an urban renewal or NDP program. Information should be included to illustrate both building and environmental deficiencies, such as overcrowded conditions, exce·ssive densiti es, and so forth . For further information on urban renewal eligibility requirements see RHA 7205.1 of the Urban Renewal Handbook, Chapter 1, General Eligibility Requirements. A community may, if it so wishes, supplement its' Workable Program submission with other related studies having a bearing, such as a Community Renewal Pro gram, General Neighborhood Renewal Program, or other similar studies. b. Renewal Plans. With respect to b ., above, the Urban Renewal Handbook sets forth the following minimum elements of a general plan: land use plan, thoroughfare plan, community facilities plan, public improvement s program, zoning ordinance and map and subdivision regulations . The preparation of such plans ( except for a zoning ordinance or other comparable memo for guiding land usage) is not a prerequisite to the approval of the Workable Program, though many communities may find the preparaof them helpful in the development of general plans to guide 10/68 Page 4 �I.. I WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT RHA 7100.11 CHAPTER 3 • community growth and development, which is a Workable Program requirement describ ed in Chapter 5. In addition, for purpose s of approving specific urban renewal proj ects, a greater de gree of planning completion may be required than would be necessary for Workable Program purposes, e spe cially in smaller communities and others seeking initial certification or recertification. c, .., Codes. With respect to c., above, a community intending to apply for urban renewal assistance is advised that approval of the housing, building , and other code r equir ements of the Workable Pro gram will constitute compliance for urban. r e newal purpose s with Se ction lOl(a) of the Housing Act of 1949, and no additional information will be r equired for that purpo s e. 8. AVAILABILITY OF WORKABLE PR03RAM AS PUBLIC DOCUMENT. Since th e Workable Pro gram is a publi c docume nt , i t must be made available for public perusal a nd examination. At the ir reque st, copies should be made available by the locality to citizen groups and organizations which should be encourage d to participate in the 'develoµn ent and implementation of the Workable Pro gram. 9. GUIDES . Supplementary guide s will be issue d to provide communities with advi ce and illustrat ions in conne ction with carryi ng out the Workable Pro gr am, including des crJption of the s cope a nd conte nt of compr ehensive pl~nni ng progr ams, ways of organizing and carrying out effe ctive r e lo cation and code enforcement pro grams, and means for encouraging and deve loping citi zen involvement. Pending i ssuance of the Guides , questions and r eque sts for technica l assistance should be dire ct ed to the Regional Offi ce. Page 5 10/68 �WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMEN'r RHA 7100.1 • CHAPTER 7 CHAPTER 7. CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT 1. REQUIREMENTS FOR CITIZEN I NVOLVEMENT. A guiding principle of Departmental policy is to in sure that citizens have the opportunity to participate in policies and prograijls which affect their welfare. Therefore, the Workable Program requires clear evidence that the community provides opportunities for citizens, including those who are poor and members of minority groups, to participate in all HUD assisted programs for which a Workable Program is a requirement, and in the community's plan to expand the supply of low- and moderate-income housing. (S ee Chapter 1, paragraph 5 for li st of applicable HUD programs.) The community will also be expected to show what progress has be en made durin g each certification period to achi eve an adequate and effective degree of citizen involvement. 2. PRINCIPLES AND PURPOSES OF CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT, The growing complexity of urban deve lopme nt and gove rnment organization make it essential that widespr ead opportunities for citizen involvement be created, including opportunities for poor and minority groups, for many reasons. In some cases, existing local institutions seem unable to identify the serious proplems of many citizens, as the citizens define them. In turn, th e people may feel cut off from their public r epresentative·s', and lack understanding of what government is doing to and for them. At the same time, traditional acts of pa rticipa.tion--voting , attendance at meetings, letters to Congressmen-- are frequently ineffective in dealing with the immediate problems raised by increasingly l ar ge and complex programs having direct impact on peoples' lives. For these reasons, new forms of collaborative relationships between citizens and government, new means for participation in the decision-making process, need to be developed. Recognizing th e need for experimentation and innovation, the Workable Program does not contain any specific requirements for the form that citizen participation must take. Tne choice of mechanisms depends upon the needs of the particular community and the structure of the local government. However, there are certain principles and objectives which should underlie the community's effort. One is that the community's responsibility does not end with the establishment of a particular mechanism or . set of mechanisms. The Workable Program requires continuing effort on the part of the community to improve and expand the opportunities for creative forms of participation and collaboration that both ensure repres entation by poor and minority groups. as well as enable government to take effective, purposeful, and expert action to deal with the problems and needs facing the community. It is essentia l that the participation be satisfying, rewarding, and not frustratin g if it is to achieve the basic objective of cr eating and sustaining a vo luntary union and mutual trust between governand its citizens. p 338- 597 0 - 60 - J Page 1 11/68 �WORKABLE PROORAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT I RHA 7100.1 " CHAPTER 7 3, EXAMPLES OF CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT ACTIVITIES. It is important that the community deve lop specific plans for achieving and maintaining adequate and e ffective citizen involveme nt in the programs covere d. A community may establish a new community-wide advisory committee embracing all major interests~ including the poor and members of minority groups or may create several new special-purpose groups, or may make b ette r utilization of existing organi zations. Communities which already have establishe d ef.fective citizen advisory committees for Workable Program purposes are encouraged to retain them and improve their effectiveness. Communities participating in the Mode l Cities program or other programs involving a high degree of citizen participation are encouraged to coordinate the citizen involvement activities under the Workable Program with the citi zen pa rtic ipat ion r equirements of th ese programs , where applicable. In addition to establishing appropriate organizational means for citizen involvement, a community may wish to take such steps as the following in orde-r - t o- further the objectives of this element: a. .. .. , , , b. The developfilent of specific function s for c itizen committees, such as having t hem hold public hearings , prepare comments on Workable Program appli cation s , evalua t e proj ect pla n s , conduct interviews and surveys of neighborhood residents ' views, etc. The development of specific methods by which the community can establi sh a basis for insuring there will be fa ir and reasonable r epr esentativeness of advisory committee s participa ting in th e Workable Program. For example , one method by which to compo se a community-wide advisory committee might be to choose repres entatives in equal proportions, from private neighborhood groups, government program-connected advisory groups, and civic groups. / 4. c. The establi shment of a planning group t o he l p develop new ideas and t e chniques for generating greater involvement among poor and di sadva ntaged groups . d. The pr ovision of funds and technical assistance to neighborhood and other advisory groups so they may become be tter informed and equippe d t o deal with complex redevelopment problems. e. The assignment of specific activities in HUD- assiste d pro j ects to de signate d ne ighborhood groups, such as evaluating site and design cons ide r ations, e stablishing information centers, and making recommendations with r espect to housing project regulation s.

January, 1968 OUTLIN"E .INTRODUCTION IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIZATION PROCEDURES FOR PLANNING PROBLEM ANALYSIS, GOAIB & PROGRA..M STRATEGY STATEMENT - GUIDE TO COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN PLANNI NG (1) Discussion Reports (2) Distributien of Rep0rts ATTACHMENTS Discussion Reports Chart Report #1 - Problem .Analysis, Sample Outline �IMPORTANCE OF ORGANIZATION If the planning of the Model Neighborhood Program is to be successful, it is absolutely essential that all key participants ·i.ir the program are well organized. This means that the following organi zational matters should be accomplished before planning begins. 1. The Model Neighborhood Executive Boa rd should be formed to act as the ultimate authori ty of the pr@gram. It should allow representation from all levels of gover-JLment - city, county, state, and federal; residents of the Model Nei ghborhood area; and residents of the city-at-large. 2. The Model Neighborhood staff should be f ormed, including the executive director, the three chief planners and the technical staff. 3. Stable local organizations which adequ at el y represent the residents of the various neighborhoods in the area should be in operation. While those organizations should be representative of the interests of all residents and give everyone a voice in their affairs, they should not be se cumbersome that they cannot work effectively with the planners. In other words, it will be physica.JJ..v impossible for the planners to carry all of their work directly to the 'grass roots' organizations of the area. This may be necessary for some key issues, but for the most part planners will have to work with a small committee of 10-20 persons if they are to accomplish anything worthwhile. �COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN PLANNING OF MODEL NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAM INTRODUCTION The Model Neighborhood Program offers an excellent opportunity to bring about basic improvements in one of the most problematic areas of Atlanta. The area selected for the pr0gram contains all the varied and complicated forms of urban blight which plague American cities today, from overcrowded, su~standard housing to incompatible land use mj_xtures to poer street conditions and inadequate community facilities to all facets of socio-economic poverty and deprivation. Most of these conditions have deep roots and are so complex and of such a nature that it will take nothing less than a special concentrated long-term effort to eliminate them. So far no major city in the country has been successful in eliminating them. The Model Neighborhood Program can bring about t he special concentrated effort which is needed to alleviate the conditions of the ' Model Neighborhood' area. It is designed to pool the resources of the city, county, state, and federal governments along with tho se of private interest groups to make a total attack on the serious and widespread problems of the area for a period of several years. The funds it provides will support the pr gram through the planning and implementation stages. However, if the Model Neighborhood Program is to avoid the mistakes of many previous efforts to help slwn residents it is very important that the pr gram be carefully planned and that local residents be involved throughout all stages of planning. The purpose of this report is to show how c mmunity par ticipation ean be effectively fitted into the planning f the M del Nei~hborho0d Pr gram. -2- �Hence the neighborhood groups of the area should be capable of fer.ming such a cemmittee which can wor k with the planners and relay this work to the 'grass ro0ts' groups . It has been suggested that the steering committee of the various neighb0rhood gr oups in the area serve this function . PROCEDURES FOR PLANNING The federal government has set the pr ocedure s for the planning of the Model NeighborhQod Program. The period allowed f or planning is one year, beginning with the date of the congressional announcement of the program (Nov. 15, 1967 - Nov• . 15, 1968). During t his period t he foll0wing planning items have to be submitted to the fe de ral government for approval: 1. Problem Analysis, Goals & Progra~ Strategy Statement 2. Five -Year Pl an 3. Firs t-Year Action Progr am 4. Pl anning and Evaluation Progr am S. Statement of Administ rative St ructLITe for Impl ement ation Of t hese planning submission requirements , the firs t one - the Problem Analysis, Goals and Program St rategy'Statemeht - i s probably the most important, as it will set the stage for the rest of the planning effort. It will establish the general orientation of the Five-Year Plan and the FirstYear Action Program and will initiate the general procedures for community participation in planning. Thus, it can serve as a guide as to how the local residents will be involved in plam1ing. -3- �PROBLEM ANALYSIS, GOALS AND PROGRAM STRATEGY STAT~j§JIT-GUIDE TO COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN PLANNING The preparation of the Problem Analysis, Goals and Program Strategy is divided into three stages or milestones: Strategy. Problem Analysis; Goals; and It is intended that the Model Neighborhood planning staff and the community will be working cl0sely toget her in this preparation so that the best of their ideas will go into the f inal statement submitted to HUD. (1) DISCUSSION REPORTS The basis 0f the working relationship between the Model Neighborhood planning st aff and community will cent er ar oLU1d discussion repor ts to cover each milestone: Problems; Goals; and Strategy. These reports will be done by the planning staff and designed to st imulate discussion among t he r esi dents . They will not be the f inal word on anything, but merely present t he information available to the pl anning st aff so as to initi ate community involvement and discussion on t he significant pl anni ng is sues. The community will be able to criticize , add to and/or subtract from the reports . F0r exampl e , t he f irst r epor t will cover the subject: Problem Analysis and attempt to identify and survey the major condi t ions and problems of the Model Neighborhood area which ju st ify treatment. a. It will: define and document the major conditi0ns And problems as far as available data will allow and according to f ollowing categories: employment; housing ; schools; recreation ; land use; health services; family, legal services; police protection.; ,and 'ether. -4- �b. preseBt the i..nforrnati0n in a simple and concise manner so th2t lay citizens will have a minimum amount of tr<:mble in reading it. c. provide a brief questionnaire on which residents can rate the priority of problems in their community according to the above categories in (a). d. provide space in which residents caD criticize the contents of the report, i.e., redefine problems, r eorganize data, contribute additional ideas, etc. (2) DISTRIBUTION OF REPORTS The reports are to be distributed to each of the six communicities in the Model Neighborhood area. They will include infonnation on the area as a whole and on the particular community to which it is distributed. It probably will not be feasible to get written responses from all residents ef the area. But perhaps certain people frem each community could be responsible for surveying the responses of the residents, summarizing them, and writing them down to be ret urned to the planning staff. The reports will be all wed to circulate for a maximum period of two weeks. This should give enough time for r esidents to gather up their written responses te the report. Also during this time it would be desirable to have a general meeting in each community, whe r e residents can _freely express their own ideas ab0ut the subj ect matter of the report. After this circulation period which hopefully will br ing about fruitful dialogue and exchanges between the planners and the cormnunity, the planning staff should then be in a position to draw up final reports on Pr blems, Goals and St rategy which fully incorporate the ideas of �the residents. These reports would then make up the final Problem Analysis, Goals, and Pregram Strategy Sta tement .

I The committee expressed its concern about a tract immediately to the north lying in unincorporated . Fulton County which, upon approval of this annexation petition, would become landlocked and asked if it could be included along with this petition. Mr. Gladin explained this is one type of problem you incur in the petition route and it could not be legally included, but could be brought up at the next filing period in May, 1970. The committee felt this would be highly desirable and should be encouraged at that time. Mr. Eugene Anderson, part-owner of the tract which would become appeared speaking for himself and Mrs. Schneider, also part-owner, be willing to have their property annexed; that, however, he could for Mr. Steinmetz, another owner, but Mr. Steinmetz had told him to be annexed. landlocked, stating they would not officially speak he would be willing In answer to questioning by Mr. Cook, Mr. Anderson stated the C-1 zoning approved by the · county was done so as part of an overall Medical Complex proposal which subsequently fel I_ through much to their regret and loss, and there is no commercial development in the area presently. There being no further discussion, the_ matter was referred to Executive Session. In Executive Session, upon unanimous vote, this petition was approved by the committee. 1 . B.

Mr. Cook called to Mr. Smith's attention a letter in the report from the Public Works Department stating that sanitary sewer is not available for the property to be annexed on Garmon Road and would not be available until approved by the property owners along this section. Mr. Smith stated they realized securing the easement would be difficult but were still hopeful it could be worked out, and in the meantime, the septic tanks are an alternative. Mr. Smith stated Mr. Livaditis is ready to begin bricking the house and doesn't have any water; since there is a charge to tap onto the water fo r property outside the city, he wanted to know if final approval of this petition by the Board of Aldermen would be expedited to relieve him from having to pay this charge. A check with the Water De partment indicated that if this committee approves the annexation peti t ion today, they would not charge Mr. Livaditis to tap onto the water prior to final approval of the petition. Messrs. Smith and Livaditis expressed their appreciation to the committee. The matter was then refe rred to Executive Session, and upon unanimous vote, this petition was approved by the committee. 2.

He went on to say these new requirements, particularly housing planning fo r low and moderate income families, points up the critical need for the Urban Information System �c. Minutes Planning and Development Committee July 18, 1969 - Page Four for the city, because of the various and sundry data which can be obtained from it on immediate notice, and he urged the committee's support in implementation of this system. He presented a draft of "Workable Program Five-Year Goals II and stated the city wi II be committed to these goals and emphasized the need to begin considering an advance two-year budget. Considerable discussion then ensued about the status of the Mayor's Housing Program. Colonel Jones of the Housing Resources Committee stated that the city is about halfway through the initial five-year program. He cited figures for the two and one-half year period, stating we have under construction and completed approximately 8,000 units, and we have in the pipeline more units than the original goal of 17,000. He sta ted, however, a lot of !re units in planning are being lost because we do not have properly zoned locations to put them on. Mr. Cook asked on what basis units are classified as being in the "planning stage". C·. .• Mr. Jones explained they are put in this category when a rezoning application is filed and a proposal is submitted; if the zoning is denied, they are taken out; that more zonings for this purpose have been denied than approved. He cited the loss of 21,000 units through recent rezoning denials . Mr. Cook state d this doesn't concur with figures he obtained from the Planning Department. Mr. Gladin explained the staff analysis referre d to was done about a ye ar ago and at that time the zoning approvals were running about 80-90%; that the staff is in the process of p reparing an up-to- date analysis o{ the housing program . Mr. Cook ds ked for and was furnished with a copy of Mr. Jones' late st housing report. Afte r a cu rsory examination, Mr . Cook expressed conce rn ab out the disc repancy in fi g ures contai ned in the repo rt and those sta ted ora lly by Colone l J ones. Being a me mbe r of the Zoning Committee, he state d he was tired of charges being made that the ci ty's housing goa ls we re not be ing me t because of rez oning de nial s as he did not be li e ve this to be the case, a nd he finds it very confusing and frustating to be unable to justify his positi on whe n he is unabl e to secure re li ab le statis tics; that he would Iike statisti cs differen ti a ting wha t pe rce ntage of the 8,000 uni ts quoted by Colone l J ones is ac tually low and moderate income housi ng . Mr. Kennedy stated he ha d ve ry strong rese rvations that this perce ntage was q uite low , that as stated by Mr. G ladi n , the Plann ing staff is in the process of ana lyz ing the Housing Program for the la st two and one- ha lf years a nd he fe lt this report would produce the type statistics Mr. Cook is looking for. C. �( _ Minutes Planning and Development Committee July 18, 1969 - Page Five -: Mr. Gladin stated he realized the problems in working with the housing figures, and again this points up the need for good management procedures, which need to be standardized, and the Urban Information System for quick delivery of these statistics over a period of time. He also commented on the need for more emphasis on the city's total housing needs. Mr. Cook directed the staff to prepare a letter for his signature to Colonel Jones requesting clarification on the following: l. Is the actual number of units under construction and completed for the last two and one-half years the 8,000 oral figure given by Colonel Jones, or the 12,000 figure in his report of May 15, 1969; 2. What percentage of this figure is for low and moderate income housing; 3. The method used for determining what is low and moderate income housing, the name of the projects and the number of units in each project. He stated that in looking at the May 15 report and oral figures by Colonel Jones, it would appear we a re moving backwards and this prompted Mr. Flanigen to remark he had no doubt but what the program is "slipping". _p.?) ~ it: it 1to.~1 ' w if) ~ w n. With additi anal reference to the housing question, Mr. Mahony stated that at the last meeting of the Housing Resources Committee, the Legal Panel discussed the need for establishing a Housing Planning Agency within the city government to relieve the Housing Resources Commi t te e membe rs who are present ly spending an inord inate amount of time doing su rveys and research in the field of housing . He stated the logical place for such a housing function would be in the Planning Depa rtment, particularly in light of the 701 planning p rogram; that the staff would like the committe e's support; and he prese nted a le tter for Mr. Cook 's signa tu re as Chai rman of the Planning and De ve lopmen t Commi ttee supporting the department's position .

Referring back to the status report on the Workable Program, Mr. Gladin stated the staff hopes to present the final draft to this committee July 28, 1969 for review, and will request committee approval at a meeting on August I, 1969; it will then be forwarded to the ne x t meeting of the Board of Aldermen where, hopefully, it will be finally approved and hand delivered that same afternoon to HUD.

M., Friday, July 18, 1969. Committee members present: Rodney Cook, Chairman Q. V. Williamson Jack Summers John Flanigen Committee members absent: Gregory Griggs Charlie Leftwich George Cotsakis Hugh Pierce Edwin Sterne, ) Housing Authority Frank Etheridge ) The Chairman called the meeting to order and the following business was considered: 1. A. PUBLIC HEARING - ANNEXATION PETITION BY JULIUS SCHNEIDER MEDICAL FOUNDATION, INC., COLUMBUS UNION CONFERENCE ASSOCIATION OF SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST AND EUGENE A, ANDERSON. Charles Watkins, First National Bank Building, was present representing the three property owners involved. Two other persons were present in support of the annexation. There was no opposition. The staff presented a detailed report to each committee member present relative to this petition, certifying that it meets all requirements set forth by the State Enabling Legislation and applicable city ordinances, and recommended its approval. The property in question lies in Land Lot 29 of the I4th District of Fulton, formerly Fayette County, and involves 69.1 acres; of the total acreage, 46.6 acres is zoned A-1 apartments; I7 acres is zoned R-3 and a smaller C-1 tract lies in Fulton County. Mr. Gladin explained the city would be annexing this property under the zoning most closely related to the existing county zoning, which in this instance is practically identical to the county's. All city services to the area are available, or can be provided upon request (letters to this effect from the appropriate city departments are included in the report). In answer to questioning by Mr. Summers, Mr. Watkins stated the owners wish to come into the city for the services that are available and to make their land more marketable for housing and sale of apartments. Minutes Planning and Development Committee July 18, 1969 - Page Two The committee expressed its concern about a tract immediately to the north lying in unincorporated Fulton County which, upon approval of this annexation petition, would become landlocked and asked if it could be included along with this petition. Mr. Gladin explained this is one type of problem you incur in the petition route and it could not be legally included, but could be brought up at the next filing period in May, 1970. The committee felt this would be highly desirable and should be encouraged ai that time, Mr. Eugene Anderson, part-owner of the tract which would become landlocked, appeared speaking for himself and Mrs. Schneider, also part-owner, stating they would be willing to have their property annexed; that, however, he could not officially speak for Mr. Steinmetz, another owner, but Mr. Steinmetz had told him he would be willing to be annexed. In answer to questioning by Mr. Cook, Mr. Anderson stated the C-1 zoning approved by the county was done so as part of an overall Medical Complex proposal which subsequently fell through much to their regret and loss, and there is no commercial development in the area presently. There being no further discussion, the matter was referred to Executive Session. In Executive Session, upon unanimous vote, this petition was approved by the committee. KRREKEEEEEE 1. B. PUBLIC HEARING - ANNEXATION PETITION BY JOHN E. LIVADITIS - GARMON ROAD. There was no opposition present. A detailed report relative to this petition certifying its compliance with State Enabling Legislation and applicable city ordinances was presented to each committee member present and the staff recommended approval. The property lies in Land Lot I77 of the I7th District and is approximately 2 acres in size. Mr. Gladin stated the property is presently zoned R-1 (Residential) and would be annexed as R-1; that all services are available, or can be provided upon request (letfersto this effect are a part of the report). Mr. Livaditis was present along with his representative, Robert Smith. Mr. Smith acknowledged they were aware of the fact there are no existing sewers to the property and the present plans are to use two septic tanks, but they are hopeful of working out an easement agreement with the adjoining property owner to connect with an outfall a %, / ' Minutes Planning and Development Committee July 18, 1969 - Page Three sewer 150 feet from Mr. Livaditis' property line. Mr. Cook called to Mr. Smith's attention a letter in the report from the Public Works Department stating that sanitary sewer is not available for the property to be annexed on Garmon Road and would not be available until approved by the property owners along this section. Mr. Smith stated they realized securing the easement would be difficult but were still hopeful it could be worked out, and in the meantime, the septic tanks are an alternative. Mr. Smith stated Mr. Livaditis is ready to begin bricking the house and doesn't have any water; since thereis a charge to tap onto the water for property outside the city, he wanted to know if final approval of this petition by the Board of Aldermen would be expedited to relieve him from having to pay this charge. A check with the Water Department indicated that if this committee approves the annexation petition today, they would not charge Mr. Livaditis to tap onto the water prior to final approval of the petition. Messrs. Smith and Livaditis expressed their appreciation to the committee. The matter was then referred to Executive Session, and upon unanimous vote, this petition was approved by the committee. KEKKKEKEKKE o 2. STATUS OF RECERTIFICATION OF WORKABLE PROGRAM Pierce Mahony explained that the Planning staff is progressing rapidly toward completion of work for recertification of the Workable Program for a two-year period, rather than one year which has been approved in the past. He stated there have been considerable revisions in the requirements of the program for recertification, making it much more difficult to put together and committing us to a much more solid approach. He commented briefly on some of the new aspects of the program, such as the housing and relocation element and the department's anticipated participation in the HUD 70! planning program. He explained a federal requirement for participation in the 70I program is that one portion of the planning studies be a housing study; further, the personnel situation throughout the city, especially in the technical and professional level, is getting serious and the Planning Department hopes to solve some of its problems by hiring temporary personnel on 70! planning programs who could moveinto permanent planning vacancies as they occur. He went on to say these new requirements, particularly housing planning for low and moderate income families, points up the critical need for the Urban Information System Minutes | Planning and Development Committee July 18, 1969 - Page Four | for the city, because of the various and sundry data which can be obtained from it on immediate notice, and he urged the committee's support in implementation of this system. He presented a draft of "Workable Program Five-Year Goals" and stated the city will be committed to these goals and emphasized the need to begin considering an advance two-year budget. Considerable discussion then ensued about the status of the Mayor's Housing Program. Colonel Jones of the Housing Resources Committee stated that the city is about halfway through the initial five-year program. He cited figures for the two and one-half year period, stating we have under construction and completed approximately 8,000 units, and we have in the pipeline more units than the original goal of 17,000.

Mr. Gladin explained the staff analysis referred to was done about a year ago and at that time the zoning approvals were running about 80-90%; that the staff is in the process of preparing an up-to-date analysis of the housing program. Mr. Cook asked for and was furnished with a copy of Mr. Jones' latest housing report. After a cursory examination, Mr. Cook expressed concem about the discrepancy in figures contained in the report and those stated orally by Colonel Jones. Being a member of the Zoning Committee, he stated he was tired of charges being made that the city's housing goals were not being met because of rezoning denials as he did not believe this to be the case, and he finds it very confusing and frustating to be unable to justify his position when he is unable to secure reliable statistics; that he would like statistics differentiating what percentage of the 8,000 units quoted by Colonel Jones is actually low and moderate income housing. Mr. Kennedy stated he had very strong reservations that this percentage was quite low, that as stated by Mr. Gladin, the Planning staff is in the process of analyzing the Housing Program for the last two and one-half years and he felt this report would produce the type statistics Mr. Cook is looking for. ) BOORUM & PEASE “ Minutes Planning and Development Committee July 18, 1969 - Page Five Mr. Gladin stated he realized the problems in working with the housing figures, and again this points up the need for good management procedures, which need to be standardized, and the Urban Information System for quick delivery of these statistics over a period of time.

Colonel Jones stated that the Legal Panel has been studying this matter, but they have not submitted a position report to Mr. Alexander and he does not know what type of report will be submitted if and when if is, and he felt any action by this committee on this matter would be premature at this time. Mr. Gladin stated the letter does not request any final action; that it merely makes a recommendation for the Housing Resources Committee to consider in making their recommendation.

Text Any textual data included in the document FUNDING OF UPp/n RENEWAL AND NETGHSORHOCD DEVSLOFMENT PROGRAM PROJECTS APRIL 29, 1969 The City of Atlanta is presently engaged in eight Urban Renewal Projects and five Neighborhood Development Program Projects (3 in execution, 2 in planning only). These projects are funded jointly by the City and the Federal Government. The funding were calls for a contribution equal to one-third of the Net Project costs from the City with the re- maining two-thirds being supplied by the Federal Government. The City's share may be in the form of cash contributions or non-cash grants-in-aid, these grants-in-aid are demolition and removal work, project or site improvements, public and supporting facilities, and others such as credits from construction of public housings. At present, the eight Urban Renewal projects presently in execution are summarized as follows: Net Project Costs $60 million! Local Non-Cash Grants-In-Aid 20 million Local Cash and Real Estate Credits 1 million This points very emphatically to the fact that our present Urban Renewal program has been financed almost completely through the use of non-cash grants-in-aid, The results of this policy can be seen in the long delays encountered in the closing out of these projects, some of which date back into the 1950's. The cash used for these projects has come from money set aside in the 1957 and 1963 General Obligation Bond Issues and totaling $3.2 million. There- fore, we have, at present, $2.1 million of unencumbered funds available from this source, Of this amount, $1.7 is presently expected to be needed lof this amount $4.5 million or 74% has been incurred as interest charges. ee to meet the cash requirements of the Bedford=Pine Neighborhood Development Program Project in 1970. The non-cash contributions of $20 million are the eligible portion of total expenditures totaling about $29 million and have some of the following forms. School $11.4 million Section 1072 & Special Credits 1.3 million Streets 4.7 million Parks «7 million Water Improvement e6 million Sewer Improvements 06 million Special Facilities e3 million Traffic Improvements . el million Other e3 million —— es $20.0 million we ee Some of the problems encountered because of the use of non-cash contribu- tions (94.8% of total city funding) as the City's source of funding Urban Renewal activities are: 1. Butler Street A. Middle School with a total estimated cost of $2 million has been delaying the close of this project, but should be under contract by August of 1969. 2. Rawson ~ Washington 7 A. tetenboehood Facilities, Building with a total estimated cost of $1 million of which $150,000 will be an eligible project cost.

Elementary School with an estimated cost of $1.5 million and expected to be under contract by August of 1969. B. An expansion of the existing elementary school with an esti~ mated cost of $700,000 and at present unfunded. C. Park with an estimated cost of $75,000 which is also presently unfunded, 4. Thomasville A. Elementary school with $1.5 million estimated cost and ex- pected to be under contract by August, 1969, B. Park with estimated cost of $126,000 which is at present unfunded, C. Tw primary schools with $1 million estimated total cost and a middle school with an estimated cost of $2 million are un-= funded and no source is seen until at least June of 1971. The advent of the Neighborhood Development Program has brought to an end the period during which the City could pledge an improvement and then wait until funding became available before completing it. Under the texms of an NDP agreement, the City must have completed or have under contract all non-cash grants-in-aid pledged for that particular year or contribute the required amount in cash, 23. Our present NDP projects were funded for 1969 from already existing improve~ ments or supporting facilities amounting to a total City committment of $10.8 million. This supports a total Neighborhood Development Program of $32.4 million. The 1970 program is expected to have the following City requirements: : Cash Non-Cash Bedford-Pine $1.7 million $ .2 million Model Gities 1.5 million 1.3 million Edgewood el millica «2 million Vine City el million «2 million $3.4 million $1.9 million Be ere ee ote This would support a total program of $19.9 million and would increase greatly if the Edgewood and Vine City projects were expanded to a signi- ficaht level of activity. This means that to support the fairly light level of activity projected for 1970, the City will need approximately $1.7 million. If any new areas are added or the level of activity increased this would increase from $2.5 to $4.0 million for 1970, The possible sources of funds include; 1. General Funds - This »urce is already under considerable pressure and no relief is presently anticipated. 2. The G O. Bonds already approved. for issue in the amount of $4 million annually. The financing of Neighborhood heveliomment Programs fm these bonds would require the use of almost this entire amouht every year and could very likely become embroiled in legal tangles, 3. Another possibility is a special Neighborhood Development Program General Obligation Bond Issue of $10 - $20 million in 1970 with another issue 4 or 5 years later or the obtaining of voter approval to issue G. 0. Bonds for this purpose in the amount of $3-5 million per year. This approach is naturally subject to the whims of the public, and, there- fore, of uncertain dependability. 4, Perhaps the best method would be thxough the obtaining of a new rvevenve source, by state approval, such as a sales tax or a payroll] tax of which a certain portion would be earmarked for Neighborhool Development Programs, Of course in the pursuit of a new source of revenue we are at loggerheads with the state and may not be able to obtain a satisfactory revenue source. Regardless of the method you favor in obtaining the needed funds, it is imperative, if the City of Atlanta is to maintain its progressive image and to continue its dramatic development, that a source be found; because the continuation of a significant program of restoration and rehablitation of the central core of Atlanta is a vital element in the continued evolution of our City.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN PLANNING OF MODEL NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAM City Planning Department City Hall Atlanta, Ga.

This means that the following organi zational matters should be accomplished before planning begins. 1. The Model Neighborhood Executive Boa rd should be formed to act as the ultimate authori ty of the pr@gram. It should allow representation from all levels of gover-JLment - city, county, state, and federal; residents of the Model Nei ghborhood area; and residents of the city-at-large. 2. The Model Neighborhood staff should be f ormed, including the executive director, the three chief planners and the technical staff. 3. Stable local organizations which adequ at el y represent the residents of the various neighborhoods in the area should be in operation. While those organizations should be representative of the interests of all residents and give everyone a voice in their affairs, they should not be se cumbersome that they cannot work effectively with the planners. In other words, it will be physica.JJ..v impossible for the planners to carry all of their work directly to the 'grass roots' organizations of the area. This may be necessary for some key issues, but for the most part planners will have to work with a small committee of 10-20 persons if they are to accomplish anything worthwhile. �COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN PLANNING OF MODEL NEIGHBORHOOD PROGRAM INTRODUCTION The Model Neighborhood Program offers an excellent opportunity to bring about basic improvements in one of the most problematic areas of Atlanta. The area selected for the pr0gram contains all the varied and complicated forms of urban blight which plague American cities today, from overcrowded, su~standard housing to incompatible land use mj_xtures to poer street conditions and inadequate community facilities to all facets of socio-economic poverty and deprivation. Most of these conditions have deep roots and are so complex and of such a nature that it will take nothing less than a special concentrated long-term effort to eliminate them. So far no major city in the country has been successful in eliminating them. The Model Neighborhood Program can bring about t he special concentrated effort which is needed to alleviate the conditions of the ' Model Neighborhood' area. It is designed to pool the resources of the city, county, state, and federal governments along with tho se of private interest groups to make a total attack on the serious and widespread problems of the area for a period of several years. The funds it provides will support the pr gram through the planning and implementation stages. However, if the Model Neighborhood Program is to avoid the mistakes of many previous efforts to help slwn residents it is very important that the pr gram be carefully planned and that local residents be involved throughout all stages of planning. The purpose of this report is to show how c mmunity par ticipation ean be effectively fitted into the planning f the M del Nei~hborho0d Pr gram. -2- �Hence the neighborhood groups of the area should be capable of fer.ming such a cemmittee which can wor k with the planners and relay this work to the 'grass ro0ts' groups . It has been suggested that the steering committee of the various neighb0rhood gr oups in the area serve this function . PROCEDURES FOR PLANNING The federal government has set the pr ocedure s for the planning of the Model NeighborhQod Program. The period allowed f or planning is one year, beginning with the date of the congressional announcement of the program (Nov. 15, 1967 - Nov• . 15, 1968). During t his period t he foll0wing planning items have to be submitted to the fe de ral government for approval: 1. Problem Analysis, Goals & Progra~ Strategy Statement 2. Five -Year Pl an 3. Firs t-Year Action Progr am 4. Pl anning and Evaluation Progr am S. Statement of Administ rative St ructLITe for Impl ement ation Of t hese planning submission requirements , the firs t one - the Problem Analysis, Goals and Program St rategy'Statemeht - i s probably the most important, as it will set the stage for the rest of the planning effort. It will establish the general orientation of the Five-Year Plan and the FirstYear Action Program and will initiate the general procedures for community participation in planning. Thus, it can serve as a guide as to how the local residents will be involved in plam1ing. -3- �PROBLEM ANALYSIS, GOALS AND PROGRAM STRATEGY STAT~j§JIT-GUIDE TO COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN PLANNING The preparation of the Problem Analysis, Goals and Program Strategy is divided into three stages or milestones: Strategy. Problem Analysis; Goals; and It is intended that the Model Neighborhood planning staff and the community will be working cl0sely toget her in this preparation so that the best of their ideas will go into the f inal statement submitted to HUD. (1) DISCUSSION REPORTS The basis 0f the working relationship between the Model Neighborhood planning st aff and community will cent er ar oLU1d discussion repor ts to cover each milestone: Problems; Goals; and Strategy. These reports will be done by the planning staff and designed to st imulate discussion among t he r esi dents . They will not be the f inal word on anything, but merely present t he information available to the pl anning st aff so as to initi ate community involvement and discussion on t he significant pl anni ng is sues. The community will be able to criticize , add to and/or subtract from the reports . F0r exampl e , t he f irst r epor t will cover the subject: Problem Analysis and attempt to identify and survey the major condi t ions and problems of the Model Neighborhood area which ju st ify treatment. a. It will: define and document the major conditi0ns And problems as far as available data will allow and according to f ollowing categories: employment; housing ; schools; recreation ; land use; health services; family, legal services; police protection.; ,and 'ether. -4- �b. preseBt the i..nforrnati0n in a simple and concise manner so th2t lay citizens will have a minimum amount of tr<:mble in reading it. c. provide a brief questionnaire on which residents can rate the priority of problems in their community according to the above categories in (a). d. provide space in which residents caD criticize the contents of the report, i.e., redefine problems, r eorganize data, contribute additional ideas, etc. (2) DISTRIBUTION OF REPORTS The reports are to be distributed to each of the six communicities in the Model Neighborhood area. They will include infonnation on the area as a whole and on the particular community to which it is distributed. It probably will not be feasible to get written responses from all residents ef the area. But perhaps certain people frem each community could be responsible for surveying the responses of the residents, summarizing them, and writing them down to be ret urned to the planning staff. The reports will be all wed to circulate for a maximum period of two weeks. This should give enough time for r esidents to gather up their written responses te the report. Also during this time it would be desirable to have a general meeting in each community, whe r e residents can _freely express their own ideas ab0ut the subj ect matter of the report. After this circulation period which hopefully will br ing about fruitful dialogue and exchanges between the planners and the cormnunity, the planning staff should then be in a position to draw up final reports on Pr blems, Goals and St rategy which fully incorporate the ideas of �the residents. These reports would then make up the final Problem Analysis, Goals, and Pregram Strategy Sta tement .

Most of these conditions have deep roots and are so complex and of such a nature that it will take nothing less than a special concentrated long-term effort to eliminate them. ‘So far no major city in the country has been successful in eliminating then, The Model Neighborhood Pregram can bring about the special concentrated effort which is needed to alleviate the conditions of the 'Model Neighborhood! area, It is designed to pool the resources of the city, county, state, and federal governments along with those of private interest groups to make a tetal attack on the serious and widespread preblems of the area for a period of several years. The funds it provides will suppert the pregram through the planning and implementation stages, However, if the Model Neighborhood Program is te avoid the mistakes of many previeus efferts to help slum residents it is very impertant that the program be carefully planned and that local residents be involved threughout all stages of planning.

The period allowed for planning is one year, beginning with the date of the congressional announcement of the program (Nov. 15, 1967 - Novs 15, 1968).

It will establish the general orientation of the Five-Year Plan and the First- Year Action Pregram and will initiate the gencral precedures for community participation in planning. Thus, it can serve as a guide as to how the lecal residents will be involved in planning. PROBLEM ANALYSIS, GOALS AND PROGRAM STRATEGY STATSMENT-GUIDE TO COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN PLANNING The preparation of the Problem Analysis, Goals and Program Strategy is divided into three stages or milestones: Problem Analysis; Goals; and Strategy. It is intended that the Model Neighborhood planning staff and the community will be working closely together in this preparation so that the best of their ideas will go into the final statement submitted to HUD. (1) DISCUSSION REPORTS The basis of the working relationship between the Model Neischborhood planning staff and community will center around discussion reports to cover each milestone: Problems; Goals; and Strategy. These reports will be done by the planning staff and designed to stimulate discussion among the residents, They will not be the final word on anything, but merely present the information available to the planning staff so as to initiate community involvement and discussion on the significant planning issues. The community will be able to criticize, add to and/or subtract from the reports, For example, the first report will cover the subject: Problem Analysis and attempt te identify and survey the major conditions and preblems of the Model Neighborhood area which justify treatment. It will: a. define and decument the major conditions «nd problems as far as available data will allow and according to follewing categories: empleyment; housing; scheels; recreation; land use; health services; family, legal services; police protection; and ‘ether, b. present the information in a simple and concise manner so thet lay citizens will have a minimum amount of trouble in reading it. C. provide a brief questionnaire on which residents can rate the priority of problems in their comunity according to the above categories in (a). d. provide space in which residents can criticize the contents of the report, i.e., redefine problems, reorganize data, contribute additional ideas, etc. (2) DISTRIBUTION OF REPORTS The reports are to be distributed to each of the six communicities in the Model Neighborhood area. They will include information on the area as a whole and on the particular community to which it is distributed. It probably will not be feasible to get written responses from all residents of the area. But perhaps certain people from each community could be responsible fer surveying the responses of the residents, summarizing them, and writing them down to be returned to the planning staff, The reports will be allewed to circulate for a maximum period of two weeks. This should give enough time for residents to gather up their written responses te the report. Also during this time it would be desirable to have a general meeting in each community, where residents can freely express their own ideas about the subject matter ef the repert. After this circulation period which hopefully will bring about fruitful dialogue and exchanges between the planners and the community, the planning staff should then be in a position to draw up final reports en Preblems, Goals and Strategy which fully incorporate the ideas of the residents, These reports would then make up the final Problem Analysis, Goals, and Program Strategy Statement.

S. DEPARTME N T OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT WASH I NGTON , D. C. 204 10 �• PREFACE FOR WORKABLE PROGRAM HANDBOOK 'Ihis Handbook sets forth a new approach and revised requirements to guide localities that are carrying out a Workable Program for Community Improvement. It represents the first major revision of the Workable Program procedures since enactment of the statutory provision in 1954-, We have several objectives which we hope will be achieved by the revision. One is to respond to the many changes that have taken place in our urban areas over the years. Another is to ensure that our requirements for the Workable Program are focused on performance by localities in dealing with the problem of slums and blight~-not just on compliance with operational procedures. Above all, the purpose is to give local communities both flexibility an4 the responsibility to develop effective programs to achieve the objectives of the statute in light of the particular nature of problems and conditions existing in each locality. ' ' '.Ihe substitution of performance standards for certain formal elements of the Workable Program does not represent any easing in current substantive requi rements. Nor does the Handbook envision any reduction in efforts by communities now participating in the program. The introduction of a performance-oriented approach hopefully will result in a more effective attack on the major problems facing the community. I am confident that, after more than a decade of experience with the Workable Program, the Federal-local partnership has the maturity to operate effectively under the new approach of this Handbook and thereby we can make more meaningful progress toward overcoming the urgent problems facing our cities and towns today. Robert C. Weaver Secretary 1 11/ 68 �WORKABLE PRCGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT RHA 7100.11 • FOREWORD This Handbook sets forth revised policies, requirements, and procedures for communities required to carry out a Workable Program for Community Improvement in connection with the use of certain Departmental housing and renewal programs to help overcome probiems of slums and blight. -Workable Program Guides containing illustrative and advisory information will be issued to supplement this Handbook. The revised policies and requirements set forth herein are effective upon issuance of this Handbook. Tnose communities which already have submitted or· have substantially completed documentation in support of an application for certification or recertification of a Workable Program need not revise the material . However, communities may use the revised forms described in this Handbook immediately . After March 31, 1969, all applications for certification or recertification of a Workable Program must be in conformance with the revised policies and requirements. The primary objective of the revision is to provide a fle:x:i.ble and performance-oriented framework within which communities may demonstrate reasonable continuing progress toward· achieving the goals sought by the statutory requirement for a Workable Program and those established by the community to implement them. The revision also modifies reporting and documenta~ion requirements and provides new criteria for evaluating community performance. The revised Workable Program concentrates on four essential areas: a. The · adoption and enforcement of housing, building, and related codes. b. The establishment of an effective action-oriented planning and programming process. c. The developnent of programs to meet low- and moderate- income housing needs and to meet relocation needs of families , individuals, and business concerns displaced by governmental action. ii 11/68 �WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNI'IY IMPROVEMENT • IRHA 7100.1 d. I The involvement of citizens, including poor and minority groups, in Workable Program activities and in related HUDassisted housing and renewal programs. The intent of this Handbook is to strengthen the Workable Program as a flexible and meaningful tool to help communities organize and carry out its community improvement programs. The Handbook envisions no lessening of effort by communities which h~ve been participating under previous Workable Program guidelines. Rather, it is anticipated that communities will make greater :grogress toward achieving the obj ectives of the statute with the increased flexibility provided by the Handbook to concentrate local efforts and tailor specific needs and problems facing the community. Applications for certtfic?tion in accordance with the requirements of this Handbook which propose a program with an overall leve l of effort below that made in the past, will not be acceptable. Certifications and recertifications of Workable Programs will be e ffective for two years. Field reviews of progress will be made as necessary by HUD Regional Office staff midway through the certification period to provide advice and t echnical assistance. HUD-assisted programs to which the Workable Program applies are listed in Chapter 1, paragraph 5. A community intending to make application for financial assistance under any of these pro grams should become familiar with the policies and requirement s set forth in this Handbook. An understanding of these policies and requirements will facilitate the preparation of the application for certification or recertification of the community 's Workable Program and thus help to expedite the processing of applications for financial assistance for specific programs. 10/ 68 iii �J - HtJD REGIONAL OFFICES RIDIONAL ADMINISTRATOR ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER I Judah Gribetz 26 Federal Plaza, New York, N.Y. 10007 Area Code 212 264-8068 Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode· Island, Vermont n Warren P.

SUMMARY OF WORKABLE PROGRAM PURPOSES AND REQUIREMENTS STATU'IORY PROVISION. The Housing Act of 1949, as amended, requires as a condition of certain financial assistance, the following: 11 ••• a workable program for co~unity improvement (which shall include an official plan of action, as it exists from time to time, for effectively dealing with the problem of urban slums and blight within the community and for the establishment and preservation of a well-planned community with well-organized environment for adequate family life) for utilizing appropriate private and public resources to eliminate and prevent the develoµnent or spread of slums and urban blight, to encourage needed urban rehabilitation, to provide for redevelopnent of blighted, deteriorated, or slum areas, or to undertake such of the aforesaid activities or other feasible community activities as may be suitably employed to achieve the objectives of such a program." The statute also requires the ad.option and effective enforcement of a minimum standards housing code, as described in Chapter 4. In addition to the Workable Program requirements contained herein, communities are advised that various HUD-assistance programs may contain additionab separate requirements tailored to meet specific program needs (e.g. relocation requirements of the urban renewal program, general planning requirements for water and sewer, or open space land grants). See Chapter 3, paragraph 7, for further information. 2. BASIC PURPOSE OF STATU'IORY PROVISION. The basic purpose of the Workable Program requirement is to ensure that communities desiring to utilize funds for renewal and housing programs understand the array of forces that create slums and blight and are willing to recognize and .take the steps within their power to prevent and overcome urban blight. The Workable Program is based on recognition that the Federal and local relationship is one of partnership in the task, and that Federal funds for renewal and housing projects cannot, by themselves, be effective unless localities exercise the full range of their powers in community efforts on a sustained and coordinated basis to the objective of preventing and eradicating slums and blight. 3. SUMMARY OF WORKABLE PROORAM REQUIREMENTS, The specific requirements of the Workable Program are based on the statutory objectives described above and are designed to provide a flexible framework Page 1 u/63 �T WORKABLE PRCGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT " I l RHA 7100.1 J CHAPTER 1 for organizing community efforts to eliminate and prevent slums and blight. The Workable Program calls for progress in the following four areas: a. Code Adoption and Enforcement. The adoption of housing, building, and related codes, and development of an effective code enforceme nt program which is at least adequate to de a l with areas having high priority need for en£orcement, including both blighted areas and basically sound but deteriorating neighborhoods, and which is gear ed toward eventual community-wi de compliance with such codes. b. Planning and Programming. The establishment of a continuing public planning and programming process which develops action programs within a comprehensive planning framework for overcoming the major physical, social, and e conomic problems related to the slum and blighted areas of the community, and for establishing and preserving a well- planned community with suitable l i ving environment for family life . c. Housing and Relocation. The development of a centralized or coordinated program for assisting in the relocation of all persons and business concer_n;, displace d by public action in the community and the development of a proi~ ~ to expand the supply of housing for l ow- and mode rate-inc0u1E. famili es on the basis of equa l opportunity. d. Citizen Involvement . The establishment of programs designed to achieve meaningful involvement of citizens, including poor and minority groups , in planning and carrying out HUD-ass i sted programs related to th e Workable Program. A detailed explanati on of th e policies and r equirements for each of the above four areas is s e t forth in subseque nt chapte rs of this Handbook. 4. LOCAL ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS. In carrying out Workabl e Program responsibil i ties, many different local agencies and offices will necessarily b e involved, together with various public a nd private institutions, organization s , and individuals. For e xample , building departments, planning agencies, health offices, housing authorities, urban renewal agencies, neighborhood organizat i ons, private builder s and dev e l opers may b e involved to proyide the wide range of resources needed to meet Workable Program obj ectives. While no specific a dministrative s tructure i s r equired by the Workable Progr am, a community will be expect e d to meet t he gene ral r equirement for establi shme nt of an administrative me chanism 11/68 Page 2 �,.

GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF ADMINISTRATION. Workable Program applications will be evaluated in light of the varying conditions, backgrounds, problems, and traditions of the par-ticula~ community. In view of the difficulty of establisQing predetermined standards of compliance having equal applicability to all communities throughout the nation, the Department's review and determination will be guided by the statutory requirements, the adequacy of the community's proposed effort as measured against the magnitude of the job to be done, and the constraints of available Federal, State, and local resources. A second major consideration governing the evaluation of application for recertification will be evidence of reasonable continuing progress toward meeting the statutory goals and objectives and -those set forth by the community. 2. REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLJs;:.ATION CONTENT. The Workable Program is the locality's program, and it i s the r esponsibility of the locality to establish goals, action programs , and time t able s for accomplishment in each of the four elements discussed in subsequent chapters. The goals, action programs, and timetables must be approved by the Department, except where otherwise indicated in Chapter 5, pa r agraph 3. Because the emphasis is on the locality 's responsibi l ity to develop its own program tailbred to its own needs and abilities rather than on complying with speci fic Departmental requirements, the community's application must contain sufficient evidence and detail to permit an objective basis for review and evaluation . Therefore, the application must clearly and specifically describe what the community inte nds to do during the next certification period in each of the four Workable Program elements. When applying for r ecertification, the application must also clearly describe what ste ps the community t ook in the l ast period, in order to provide a basis for measurement of the community ' s continuing progress toward meeting the agree d-upon goals and objectives. In developing its "work program" in each of the four elements for the next certification period , the community must also show how the proposed act ivit ies are related to a n analysis of the problems or needs, and t o longer-range tar ge t s for accomplishment. For exampl~ in deve loping a program to meet the r equirement of Chapter 6 to expand the supply of housing for low- and moderate-income families, the applicat ion should show the relationship of it s proposed program and timet ables to an anal ysis of needs in the community and to its longer-range goals or targe ts for expansion of such supply. The questions included in Application Form 1081 are designed to e licit the information and evidence required to provide a reasonable basis for approving or disapproving the community ' s Workable Program Application. Page 1 10/68 �WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT ~HA 7100.1 • I \ ) CHAPTER 2 3. 4. CRITERIA FOR EVALUATION OF WORKABLE PROGRAM APPLICATION. In reviewing a community' s application for certification or recertification of a Workable Program, the Department's assessment will be based on the followin g factors: a. Problem Analysis. Adequacy of the community's analysis of the problems and needs where required by the Workable Program elements. b. Long-Ra nge Goals . Adequacy and reasonableness of the longrange goals and targets for accompli shment proposed by the community for overcoming such problems . c. Action Programs. Adequacy of the specific a ctions and timetables proposed- to be taken by the community during the next period of certification to deal with the problems identifi ed, in light of available resource s and the magnitude of the problems . d.

The acceptability of a community's initi a l appl ication for ; certification will be base d on the adequacy of the problem or nee d ana lysis in each of the e l ement s , th e extent to whi ch longer-range goals or targe t s have been identifi ed in r e lation to need, and the adequacy of the proposed action programs, in light of both need and available resources .

ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR WORKABLE PROGRAM CERTIFICATION FILING OF APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATION. Form HUD-1081 is to be used by the community to apply for certification or recertification of its Workable Program. Careful attention to the preparation of format and content will obviate the need for correspondence with the community and thus help to expedite the review and evaluation of the application and its approval. An original and three copies of Form HUD-1081 are to be submitted to the appropriate HUD Regional Office. An application for recertification should be submitted at least 60 days prior to expiration of the community's current Workable Program certification. A community desiring to discuss Workable Program policies and requirements or to obtain assistance and guidance in the preparation of the required Form 1081 should communicate with the HUD Regional Office. 2. GOVERNING BODY APPROVAL OF THE WORKABLE PROO-RAM. Before being submitted to the Regional Office, the application for certification and recertification on Form HUD-1081 must be approved by the executive head and the governing~- body of the community. 3. NOTIFICATION OF APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL. The HUD Regional Office will advise the applicant community of approval or disapproval of the Workable Program application for certification. a. Reasons for Disapproval or Conditional Approval. Applicati9ns may· be disapproved or conditionally approved for ~ither of two reasons listed below; an explanation of the basis for such action will be provided to the community. (1) Failure by the community to carry out the plan of action and timetable it proposed for the last certification period. In the event of disapproval or conditional approval for this reason, the community will be advised of the actions it must take to carry out the plans or steps it initially proposed but did not take and did not provide justification for not taking. ( 2) Inadequacy of plans, programs, and timetables -proposed by the community for the next certification period. In the event of disapproval or conditional approval for this reason, the community will be informed of the nature of Page 1 10/ 68 �WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT I Rl!A 7100.1 • I CHAPTER 3 the inadequacy of its proposed plans and programs, and will be requested to submit additional information needed to remedy such inadequacies. b. 4. Time Limit. Applications that are conditionally approved will provide a reasonable, definite time limit for accomplishment of required actions. In the event of a conditional approval, applications for financial assistance under the applicable HUD programs will be processed, but final approvals will be withheld until the Workable Program is fully approved. ( Once a community's application is approved, no further requirements will be imposed during the period of certification.) CERTIFICATION PERIOD. All Workable Program certifications are for a two-year period. If certification of a Workable Program has expired, the execution of contracts for assistance is precluded with respect to the applicable programs listed in Chapter 1, paragraph 5. Certification is deemed not to expire, however, but rather to continue in effect for the following purposes: a. To provide Federal assistance under Title I of the Housing Act of 1949 for any urban project in the locality with respect to which a loan and grant contract is executed prior to the expiration date. -~.-: i b. To provide Federal assistance under the United States Housing Act of 1937 for any low-rent public housing being undertaken by the locality with respect to which a contract for annual contributions or capital grant is executed prior to the ex-. piration date. c. To provide mortgage and home improvement loan insurance under Section 220 of the National Housing Act with respect to property in the locality situated in: 10/68 (1) The area of any urban renewal project for which a loan and grant contract is executed prior to the expiration date, or (2) Any urban renewal area not involving Federal aid under Title I of the Housing Act of 1949 respecting which prior to the expiration date the Secretary of Housing and Urban Developnent has certified that he has approved the urban renewal plan for the area, that such plan conforms to the general plan for the locality as a whole, and that there exist the -necessary authority and financial capacity to ensure the completion of such urban renewal plan . Page 2 �WORl<".ABLE PROORAM FOR COMMUNITY JMffiOVE:MENT I • RHA 7100.11 CHAPTER 3 d. 5, To provide mortgage insurance under Section 221(d)(3) of the National Housing Act with respect to property in the locality for which a pre-application analysis has been made by the Federal Housing Administration and it has agreed in writing to accept a formal application prior to the expiration date, or located in the area of any urban renewal project for which a loan and grant contract is executed prior to the expiration date. CERTIFICATION LAPSE. Where a Workable Program certification has expired and a lapse has occurred , the community will be required to show the progress made in meeting Workable Program r equirements not only during the period in which the Workable Program was in effect, but also during the lapse d period. Thus, it is important that a community anticipate the expiration -date and initiate the actions necessary to prepare an application for recertification sufficiently in advance of this dat so that lapse may be avoided. 6. .'TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO COMMUNITIES . 7, RELATIONSHIP OF WORKABLE PR(X;RAM AND URBAN RENEWAL REQUIREMENTS. Communities intending to apply for urban renewal assistance should be aware of the following statutory requirements: In accordance with Section lOl(d) of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, the Department will endeavor to the maximum extent possible, to assist communities in meeting their Workable Program objectives. Field reviews of progress will be made as necess~ry midway through the period of certification and Regional Office staff will be available to the ext ent resources permit to provide consultation , advice , and t echnical assistance. a. No loan or grant contract may be e ntered into for an urban renewal project unless the Workable Program 11 is of sufficient scope and content to furnish a basis for evaluation of the need for the urban renewal project, and such project is in accord with the program. 11 b. The plan for an urban r enewal project must "conform to the general plan of the locality as a whole and to the Workable Program . . . " c. In entering into any contract for advances for surveys, plans, and other preliminary urban renewal work, the Secretary must "give consideration to the extent to which appropriate local public bodies have undertaken positive programs (through the adoption, modernization, administration, and enforcement of housing, zoning, building and other local laws, codes, and regulations . . . ) for (1) preventing the spread or recurrence Page 3 10/68 �i' WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT I RHA 7100.1 J CHAPTER 3 in the community of slums and blighted areas, and (2) encouraging housing cost reductions through the use of appropriate new materials, techniques, and methods in land and residential planning, design, and construction, the increase of efficiency in residential construction, and the elimination of restrictive practices which unnecessarily increase housing costs." d. HUD will not authorize a Federal aid contract for a Neighborhood Development Program (NDP) unless there is in existence a certified Workable Pro gram which is of sufficient scope and content to furnish a basis for evaluation of the need for the proposed NDP activities and such activities are in accord with the Workable Program. Communities are advised that because of the above statutory provisions, requirements for urban r enewal assistance may differ from those nec essary for Workable Program certification purposes in the following ways: a. Evaluation of Urban Renewal Need. With respect to subparagraphs a. and d., above, a community int ending to apply for urban renewal or NDP assistance should ensure that the studies undertaken in connection with the planning and programming requirement describ ed in Chapte;r, 5 are of sufficient scope and quality to provide a basis for evaluation of the need for the urban renewal project or NDP activities. In general, the studies carried out under th e Workable Program should be adequate to determine that the area is sufficiently blighted or deteriorated to qualify for an urban renewal or NDP program. Information should be included to illustrate both building and environmental deficiencies, such as overcrowded conditions, exce·ssive densiti es, and so forth . For further information on urban renewal eligibility requirements see RHA 7205.1 of the Urban Renewal Handbook, Chapter 1, General Eligibility Requirements. A community may, if it so wishes, supplement its' Workable Program submission with other related studies having a bearing, such as a Community Renewal Pro gram, General Neighborhood Renewal Program, or other similar studies. b. Renewal Plans. With respect to b ., above, the Urban Renewal Handbook sets forth the following minimum elements of a general plan: land use plan, thoroughfare plan, community facilities plan, public improvement s program, zoning ordinance and map and subdivision regulations . The preparation of such plans ( except for a zoning ordinance or other comparable memo for guiding land usage) is not a prerequisite to the approval of the Workable Program, though many communities may find the preparaof them helpful in the development of general plans to guide 10/68 Page 4 �I.. I WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT RHA 7100.11 CHAPTER 3 • community growth and development, which is a Workable Program requirement describ ed in Chapter 5. In addition, for purpose s of approving specific urban renewal proj ects, a greater de gree of planning completion may be required than would be necessary for Workable Program purposes, e spe cially in smaller communities and others seeking initial certification or recertification. c, .., Codes. With respect to c., above, a community intending to apply for urban renewal assistance is advised that approval of the housing, building , and other code r equir ements of the Workable Pro gram will constitute compliance for urban. r e newal purpose s with Se ction lOl(a) of the Housing Act of 1949, and no additional information will be r equired for that purpo s e. 8. AVAILABILITY OF WORKABLE PR03RAM AS PUBLIC DOCUMENT. Since th e Workable Pro gram is a publi c docume nt , i t must be made available for public perusal a nd examination. At the ir reque st, copies should be made available by the locality to citizen groups and organizations which should be encourage d to participate in the 'develoµn ent and implementation of the Workable Pro gram. 9. GUIDES . Supplementary guide s will be issue d to provide communities with advi ce and illustrat ions in conne ction with carryi ng out the Workable Pro gr am, including des crJption of the s cope a nd conte nt of compr ehensive pl~nni ng progr ams, ways of organizing and carrying out effe ctive r e lo cation and code enforcement pro grams, and means for encouraging and deve loping citi zen involvement. Pending i ssuance of the Guides , questions and r eque sts for technica l assistance should be dire ct ed to the Regional Offi ce. Page 5 10/68 �WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMEN'r RHA 7100.1 • CHAPTER 7 CHAPTER 7. CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT 1. REQUIREMENTS FOR CITIZEN I NVOLVEMENT. A guiding principle of Departmental policy is to in sure that citizens have the opportunity to participate in policies and prograijls which affect their welfare. Therefore, the Workable Program requires clear evidence that the community provides opportunities for citizens, including those who are poor and members of minority groups, to participate in all HUD assisted programs for which a Workable Program is a requirement, and in the community's plan to expand the supply of low- and moderate-income housing. (S ee Chapter 1, paragraph 5 for li st of applicable HUD programs.) The community will also be expected to show what progress has be en made durin g each certification period to achi eve an adequate and effective degree of citizen involvement. 2. PRINCIPLES AND PURPOSES OF CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT, The growing complexity of urban deve lopme nt and gove rnment organization make it essential that widespr ead opportunities for citizen involvement be created, including opportunities for poor and minority groups, for many reasons. In some cases, existing local institutions seem unable to identify the serious proplems of many citizens, as the citizens define them. In turn, th e people may feel cut off from their public r epresentative·s', and lack understanding of what government is doing to and for them. At the same time, traditional acts of pa rticipa.tion--voting , attendance at meetings, letters to Congressmen-- are frequently ineffective in dealing with the immediate problems raised by increasingly l ar ge and complex programs having direct impact on peoples' lives. For these reasons, new forms of collaborative relationships between citizens and government, new means for participation in the decision-making process, need to be developed. Recognizing th e need for experimentation and innovation, the Workable Program does not contain any specific requirements for the form that citizen participation must take. Tne choice of mechanisms depends upon the needs of the particular community and the structure of the local government. However, there are certain principles and objectives which should underlie the community's effort. One is that the community's responsibility does not end with the establishment of a particular mechanism or . set of mechanisms. The Workable Program requires continuing effort on the part of the community to improve and expand the opportunities for creative forms of participation and collaboration that both ensure repres entation by poor and minority groups. as well as enable government to take effective, purposeful, and expert action to deal with the problems and needs facing the community. It is essentia l that the participation be satisfying, rewarding, and not frustratin g if it is to achieve the basic objective of cr eating and sustaining a vo luntary union and mutual trust between governand its citizens. p 338- 597 0 - 60 - J Page 1 11/68 �WORKABLE PROORAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT I RHA 7100.1 " CHAPTER 7 3, EXAMPLES OF CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT ACTIVITIES. It is important that the community deve lop specific plans for achieving and maintaining adequate and e ffective citizen involveme nt in the programs covere d. A community may establish a new community-wide advisory committee embracing all major interests~ including the poor and members of minority groups or may create several new special-purpose groups, or may make b ette r utilization of existing organi zations. Communities which already have establishe d ef.fective citizen advisory committees for Workable Program purposes are encouraged to retain them and improve their effectiveness. Communities participating in the Mode l Cities program or other programs involving a high degree of citizen participation are encouraged to coordinate the citizen involvement activities under the Workable Program with the citi zen pa rtic ipat ion r equirements of th ese programs , where applicable. In addition to establishing appropriate organizational means for citizen involvement, a community may wish to take such steps as the following in orde-r - t o- further the objectives of this element: a. .. .. , , , b. The developfilent of specific function s for c itizen committees, such as having t hem hold public hearings , prepare comments on Workable Program appli cation s , evalua t e proj ect pla n s , conduct interviews and surveys of neighborhood residents ' views, etc. The development of specific methods by which the community can establi sh a basis for insuring there will be fa ir and reasonable r epr esentativeness of advisory committee s participa ting in th e Workable Program. For example , one method by which to compo se a community-wide advisory committee might be to choose repres entatives in equal proportions, from private neighborhood groups, government program-connected advisory groups, and civic groups. / 4. c.

C. 20410  PREFACE FOR WORKABLE PROGRAM HANDBOOK This Handbook sets forth a new approach and revised requirements to guide localities that are carrying out a Workable Program for Community Improvement. It represents the first major revision of the Workable Program proce- dures since enactment of the statutory provision in 195). We have several objectives which we hope will be achieved by the re- vision. One is to respond to the many changes that have taken place in our urban areas over the years. Another is to ensure that our requirements for the Workable Program are focused on performance by localities in dealing with the problem of slums and blight--not just on compliance with operational procedures. Above all, the purpose is to give local communities both flexibility and the responsibility to develop effective programs to achieve the objectives of the statute in light of the particular nature of problems and conditions existing in each locality. The substitution of performance standards for certain formal elements of the Workable Program does not represent any easing in current sub- stantive requirements. Nor does the Handbook envision any reduction in efforts by communities now participating in the program. The intro- duction of a performance-oriented approach hopefully will result in a more effective attack on the major problems facing the community. I am confident that, after more than a decade of experience with the Workable Program, the Federal-local partnership has the maturity to operate effectively under the new approach of this Handbook and thereby we can make more meaningful progress toward overcoming the urgent problems facing our cities and towns today. Robert C. Weaver Secretary i 11/68 WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT RHA 7100.1 FOREWORD This Handbook sets forth revised policies, requirements, and procedures for communities required to carry out a Workable Program for Community Improvement in connection with the use of certain Departmental housing and renewal programs to help overcome problems of slums and blight. Workable Program Guides containing illustrative and advisory information will be issued to supplement this Handbook. The revised policies and requirements set forth herein are effective upon issuance of this Handbook. Those communities which already have submitted or have substantially completed documentation in support of an application for certification or recertification of a Workable Program need not revise the material. However, communities may use the revised forms described in this Handbook immediately. After March 31, 1969, all applications for certification or recertification of a Work- able Program must be in conformance with the revised policies and requirements. The primary objective of the revision is to provide a flexible and performance-oriented framework within which communities may demon- strate reasonable continuing progress toward achieving the goals sought by the statutory requirement for a Workable Program and those estab- lished by the community to implement them. The revision also modifies reporting and documentation requirements and provides new criteria for evaluating community performance. The revised Workable Program concentrates on four essential areas: a. The adoption and enforcement of housing, building, and related codes. b. The establishment of an effective action-oriented planning * and programming process. c. The development of programs to meet low- and moderate-income housing needs and to meet relocation needs of families, individuals, and business concerns displaced by governmental action. ii 11/68 WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT RHA 7100.1 d. The involvement of citizens, including poor and minority groups, in Workable Program activities and in related HUD- assisted housing and renewal programs. The intent of this Handbook is to strengthén the Workable Program as a flexible and meaningful tool to help communities organize and carry out its community improvement programs. The Handbook envisions no lessen- ing of effort by communities which have been participating under previous Workable Program guidelines. Rather, it is anticipated that communities will make greater progress toward achieving the objectives of the statute with the increased flexibility provided by the Handbook to concentrate local efforts and tailor specific needs and problems facing the community. Applications for certification in accordance with the requirements of this Handbook which propose a program with an overall level of effort below that made in the past, will not be acceptable. Certifications and recertifications of Workable Programs will be effec- tive for two years. Field reviews of progress will be made as necessary by HUD Regional Office staff midway through the certification period to provide advice and technical assistance. ; HUD-assisted programs to which the Workable Program applies are listed in Chapter 1, paragraph 5. A community intending to make application for financial assistance under any of these programs should become familiar with the policies and requirements set forth in this Handbook. An understanding of these policies and requirements will facilitate the preparation of the application for certification or recertification of the community's Workable Program and thus help to expedite the process- ing of applications for financial assistance for specific programs. 10/68 iii AT g9/0T HUD REGIONAL OFFICES ; REGIONAL ADDRESS AND GENERAL REGION ADMINISTRATOR TELEPHONE NUMBER JURISDICTIONAL AREA I Judah Gribetz 26 Federal Plaza, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, N.Y. 10007 New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Area Code 212 26)-8068 Tsland, Vermont TI Warren P.

SUMMARY OF WORKABLE PROGRAM PURPOSES AND REQUIREMENTS Le STATUTORY PROVISION. The Housing Act of 1949, as amended, requires as a condition of certain financial assistance, the following: ". . . a workable program for community improvement (which shall include an official plan of action, as it exists from time to time, for effectively dealing with the problem of urban slums and blight within the community and for the establishment and preservation of a well-planned community with well-organized environment for adequate family life) for utilizing appropriate private and public resources to eliminate and prevent the development or spread of slums and urban blight, to encourage needed urban rehabilitation, to provide for redevelopment of blighted, deteriorated, or slum areas, or to undertake such of the aforesaid activi- ties or other feasible community activities as may be suitably employed to achieve the objectives of such a program." The statute also requires the adoption and effective enforcement of a minimum standards housing code, as described in Chapter 4. In addition to the Workable Program requirements contained herein, communities are advised that various HUD-assistance programs may contain additional separate requirements tailored to meet specific program needs (e.g. relocation requirements of the urban renewal program, general planning requirements for water and sewer, or open space land grants). See Chapter 3, paragraph 7, for further information. 2. BASIC PURPOSE OF STATUTORY PROVISION. The basic purpose of the Workable Program requirement is to ensure that communities desir- ing to utilize funds for renewal and housing programs understand the array of forces that create slums and blight and are willing to recognize and take the steps within their power to prevent and overcome urban blight. The Workable Program is based on recognition that the Federal and local relationship is one of partnership in the task, and that Federal funds for renewal and housing projects cannot, by them- selves, be effective unless localities exercise the full range of their powers in community efforts on a sustained and coordinated basis to the objective of preventing and eradicating slums and blight. 3. | SUMMARY OF WORKABLE PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS. The specific require- ments of the Workable Program are based on the statutory objectives described above and are designed to provide a flexible framework Page 1 11/63 WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT RHA 7100.1 CHAPTER 1 for organizing community efforts to eliminate and prevent slums and blight. The Workable Program calls for progress in the follow- ~ ing four areas: a. Code Adoption and Enforcement. The adoption of housing, build- ing, and related codes, and development of an effective code enforcement program which is at least adequate to deal with areas having high priority need for enforcement, including both blighted areas and basically sound but deteriorating neighbor- hoods, and which is geared toward eventual community-wide compliance with such codes, * b. Planning and Programming. The establishment of a continuing public planning and programming process which develops action ¥* programs within a comprehensive planning framework for over- coming the major physical, social, and economic problems related to the slum and blighted areas of the community, and for establishing and preserving a well-planned community with suitable living environment for family life. c. Housing and Relocation, The development of a centralized or coordinated program for assisting in the relocation of all persons and business concerns displaced by public action in the community and the development of a proz> m to expand the supply of housing for low- and moderate-inccuwe families on the basis of equal opportunity. ad. Citizen Involvement. The establishment of programs designed to achieve meaningful involvement of citizens, including poor and minority groups, in planning and carrying out HUD-assisted programs related to the Workable Program. A detailed explanation of the policies and requirements for each of the above four areas is set forth in subsequent chapters of this Handbook. 4, LOCAL ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS, In carrying out Workable Program responsibilities, many different local agencies and offices will necessarily be involved, together with various public and private institutions, organizations, and individuals. For example, building departments, planning agencies, health offices, housing authorities, urban renewal agencies, neighborhood organizations, private builders and developers may be involved to provide the wide range of resources needed to meet Workable Program objectives. While no specific. administrative structure is required by the Workable Program, a community will be expected to meet the general - requirement for establishment of an administrative mechanism 11/68 Page 2 ~ WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT RHA 7100.1 CHAPTER 1 responsible to the chief executive for the purpose of providing leadership, supervision, and coordination of Workable Program activities.

GUIDELINES FOR EVALUATION OF WORKABLE PROGRAM APPLICATIONS 1. GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF ADMINISTRATION. Workable Program applica- tions will be evaluated in light of the varying conditions, backgrounds, problems, and traditions of the particular community. In view of the difficulty of establishing predetermined standards of compliance having equal applicability to all communities throughout the nation, the Department's review and determination will be guided by the statutory requirements, the adequacy of the community's proposed effort as measured against the magnitude of the job to be done, and the constraints of available Federal State, and local resources. A second major consideration governing the evaluation of application for recertification will be evidence of reasonable continuing progress toward meeting the statutory goals and objectives and those set forth by the community. REQUIREMENTS FOR APPLIGATION CONTENT. The Workable Program is the locality's program, and it is the responsibility of the locality to establish goals, action programs, and timetables for accomplish- ment in each of the four elements discussed in subsequent chapters. The goals, action programs, and timetables must be approved by the Department, except where otherwise indicated in Chapter 5, para- graph 3. Because the emphasis is on the locality's responsibility to develop its own program tailored to its own needs and abilities rather than on complying with specific Departmental requirements, the community's application must contain sufficient evidence and detail to permit an objective basis for review and evaluation. Therefore, the application must clearly and specifically describe what the community intends to do during the next certification period in each of the four Workable Program elements. When apply- ing for recertification, the application must also clearly describe what steps the community took in the last period, in order to provide a basis for measurement of the community's continuing progress toward meeting the agreed-upon goals and objectives. In developing its "work program" in each of the four elements for the next certification period, the community must also show how the proposed activities are related to an analysis of the problems or needs, and to longer-range targets for accomplishment. For example , in developing a program to meet the requirement of Chapter 6 to expand the supply of housing for low- and moderate-income families, the application should show the relationship of its proposed program and timetables to an analysis of needs in the community and to its longer-range goals or targets for expansion of such supply. The questions included in Application Form 1081 are designed to elicit the information and evidence required to provide a reasonable basis for approving or disapproving the community's Workable Program Application.

In re- viewing a community's application for certification or recertifi- cation of a Workable Program, the Department's assessment will be based on the following factors: a. Problem Analysis. Adequacy of the community's analysis of the problems and needs where required by the Workable Program elements. b. Long-Range Goals. Adequacy and reasonableness of the long- range goals and targets for accomplishment proposed by the community for overcoming such problems. ec. Action Programs. Adequacy of the specific actions and time- tables proposed to be taken by the community during the next period of certification to deal with the problems identified, in light of available resources and the magnitude of the problems. d. Progress. Demonstration of reasonable continuing progress toward meeting goals and objectives specified by the community. h, BASIS FOR DETERMINING ACCEPTABILITY, The acceptability of a com- munity's initial application for certification will be based on the adequacy of the problem or need analysis in each of the elements, the extent to which longer-range goals or targets have been identified in relation to need, and the adequacy of the pro- posed action programs, in light of both need and available resources. The acceptability of an application for recertification will be based on the performance of the community in meeting the goals, targets, and timetables agreed to at the last certification, as well as on the extent to which the proposed level of effort represents continuing progress from the last period toward meeting its longer-range targets. When unexpected developments or changed conditions prevent a community from meeting its agreed-to objec- tives and timetables, the application for recertification must include a detailed explanation of the reasons. 10/68 Page 2 ee ; WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT RHA 7100.1 CRAPTER 3 CHAPTER 3. ADMINISTRATIVE REQUIREMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR WORKABLE PROGRAM CERTIFICATION FILING OF APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATION, Form HUD-1081 is to be used by the community to apply for certification or recertifica- tion of its Workable Program. Careful attention to the prepara- tion of format and content will obviate the need for correspondence with the community and thus help to expedite the review and evaluation of the application and its approval. An original and three copies of Form HUD-1081 are to be submitted to the appropriate HUD Regional Office. An application for recertification should be submitted at least 60 days prior to expiration of the community's current Workable Program certifica- tion. A community desiring to discuss Workable Program policies and requirements or to obtain assistance and guidance in the prepara- tion of the required Form 1081 should communicate with the HUD Regional Office. GOVERNING BODY APPROVAL OF THE WORKABLE PROGRAM. Before being submitted to the Regional Office, the application for certifica- tion and recertification on Form HUD-1081 must be approved by the executive head and the governing body of the community. NOTIFICATION OF APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL. The HUD Regional Office will advise the applicant community of approval or disapproval of the Workable Program application for certification. a. Reasons for Disapproval or Conditional Approval. Applications may be disapproved or conditionally approved for either of two reasons listed below; an explanation of the basis for such action will be provided to the community. (1) Failure by the community to carry out the plan of action and timetable it proposed for the last certification period. In the event of disapproval or conditional approval for this reason, the community will be advised of the actions it must take to carry out the plans or steps it initially proposed but did not take and did not provide justification for not taking. (2) Inadequacy of plans, programs, and timetables: proposed by the community for the next certification period. In the event of disapproval or conditional approval for this reason, the community will be informed of the nature of Page 1 10/68 WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT RHA 7100.1 CHAPTER 3 the inadequacy of its proposed plans and programs, and will be requested to submit additional information needed to remedy such inadequacies. Time Limit. Applications that are conditionally approved will provide a reasonable, definite time limit for accomplishment of required actions. In the event of a conditional approval, applications for financial assistance under the applicable HUD programs will be processed, but final approvals will be with- held until the Workable Program is fully approved. (Once a community's application is approved, no further requirements will be imposed during the period of certification. ) 4, CERTIFICATION PERIOD. All Workable Program certifications are for a two-year period. If certification of a Workable Program has expired, the execution of contracts for assistance is precluded with respect to the applicable programs listed in Chapter l, paragraph 5. Certification is deemed not to expire, however, but rather to continue in effect for the following purposes: a. To provide Federal assistance under Title I of the Housing Act of 1949 for any urban project in the locality with respect to which a loan and grant contract is executed prior to the ex- piration date. sem To provide Federal assistance under the United States Housing Act of 1937 for any low-rent public housing being undertaken by the locality with respect to which a contract for annual contributions or capital grant is executed prior to the ex- piration date. To provide mortgage and home improvement loan insurance under Section 220 of the National Housing Act with respect to prop- erty in the locality situated in: (1) The area of any urban renewal project for which a loan and grant contract is executed prior to the expiration date, or (2) Any urban renewal area not involving Federal aid under Title I of the Housing Act of 1949 respecting which prior to the expiration date the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development has certified that he has approved the urban renewal plan for the area, that such plan conforms to the general plan for the locality as a whole, and that there exist the necessary authority and financial capacity to ensure the completion of such urban renewal plan. 10/68 Page 2 % wai? WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY JMFROVEMENT RHA 7100.1 CHAPTER 3 a. To provide mortgage insurance under Section 221(da)(3) of the National Housing Act with respect to property in the locality for which a pre-application analysis has been made by the Federal Housing Administration and it has agreed in writing to accept a formal application prior to the expiration date, or located in the area of any urban renewal project for which a loan and grant contract is executed prior to the expiration date. CERTIFICATION LAPSE, Where a Workable Program certification has expired and a lapse has occurred, the community will be required to show the progress made in meeting Workable Program requirements not only during the period in which the Workable Program was in effect, but also during the lapsed period. Thus, it is important that a community anticipate the expiration date and initiate the actions necessary to prepare an application for recertification sufficiently in advance of this dat so that lapse may be avoided. TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO COMMUNITIES. In accordance with Section 101(d) of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended, the Department will endeavor to the maximum extent possible, to assist communities in meeting their Workable Program objectives. Field reviews of progress will be made as necessary midway through the period of certification and Regional Office staff will be available to the extent resources permit to provide consultation, advice, and technical assistance. RELATIONSHIP OF WORKABLE PROGRAM AND URBAN RENEWAL REQUIREMENTS, Communities intending to apply for urban renewal assistance should be aware of the following statutory requirements: a. No loan or grant contract may be entered into for an urban renewal project unless the Workable Program "is of sufficient scope and content to furnish a basis for evaluation of the need for the urban renewal project, and such project is in accord with the program." b. The plan for an urban renewal project must “conform to the general plan of the locality as a whole and to the Workable Program..." ec. In entering into any contract for advances for surveys, plans, and other preliminary urban renewal work, the Secretary must “sive consideration to the extent to which appropriate local public bodies have undertaken positive programs (through the adoption, modernization, administration, and enforcement of housing, zoning, building and other local laws, codes, and regulations . . .) for (1) preventing the spread or recurrence Page 3 10/68  WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT RHA 7100.1 CHAPTER 3 in the community of slums and blighted areas, and (2) encour- aging housing cost reductions through the use of appropriate new materials, techniques, and methods in land and residential planning, design, and construction, the increase of efficiency in residential construction, and the elimination of restric- tive practices which unnecessarily increase housing costs." HUD will not authorize a Federal aid contract for a Neighbor- hood Development Program (NDP) unless there is in existence a certified Workable Program which is of sufficient scope and content to furnish a basis for evaluation of the need for the proposed NDP activities and such activities are in accord with the Workable Program. Communities are advised that because of the above statutory pro- visions, requirements for urban renewal assistance may differ from those necessary for Workable Program certification purposes in the following ways: a. Evaluation of Urban Renewal Need. With respect to subpara- graphs a. and d., above, a community intending to apply for urban renewal or NDP assistance should ensure that the studies undertaken in connection with the planning and programming re- quirement described in Chapter, 5 are of sufficient scope and quality to provide a basis for evaluation of the need for the urban renewal project or NDP activities. In general, the studies carried out under the Workable Program should be adequate to determine that the area is sufficiently blighted or deteriorated to qualify for an urban renewal or NDP program, Information should be included to illustrate both building and environmental deficiencies, such as overcrowded conditions, excessive densities, and so forth. For further information on urban renewal eligibility requirements see RHA 7205.1 of the Urban Renewal Handbook, Chapter 1, General Eligibility Require- ments. A community may, if it so wishes, supplement its' Workable Program submission with other related studies having a bearing, such as a Community Renewal Program, General Neighbor- hood Renewal Program, or other similar studies. Renewal Plans. With respect to b., above, the Urban Renewal Handbook sets forth the following minimum elements of a general plan: land use plan, thoroughfare plan, community facilities plan, public improvements program, zoning ordinance and map and subdivision regulations. The preparation of such plans (except for a zoning ordinance or other comparable memo for guiding land usage) is not a prerequisite to the approval of the Workable Program, though many communities may find the prepara- of them helpful in the development of general plans to guide 10/68 Page 4 YA WORKABLE PROGRAM FOR COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT RHA 7100.1 CHAPTER 3 community growth and development, which is a Workable Program requirement described in Chapter 5. In addition, for purposes of approving specific urban renewal projects, a greater degree of planning completion may be required than would be necessary for Workable Program purposes, especially in smaller communi- ties and others seeking initial certification or recertifica- tion. c. Codes. With respect to c., above, a community intending to apply for urban renewal assistance is advised that approval of the housing, building, and other code requirements of the Workable Program will constitute compliance for urban renewal purposes with Section 101(a) of the Housing Act of 1949, and no additional information will be required for that purpose. AVAILABILITY OF WORKABLE PROGRAM AS PUBLIC DOCUMENT. Since the Workable Program is a public document, it must be made available for public perusal and examination. At their request, copies should be made available by the locality to citizen groups and organizations which should be encouraged to participate in the development and implementation of the Workable Program. GUIDES. Supplementary guides will be issued to provide communities with advice and illustrations in connection with carrying out the Workable Program, including description of the scope and content of comprehensive planning programs, ways of organizing and carrying out effective relocation and code enforcement programs, and means for encouraging and developing citizen involvement. Pending issu- ance of the Guides, questions and requests for technical assistance should be directed to the Regional Office.

These projects are funded jointly by the City and the Federal Government. The funding scdawenest calls for a contribution . equal to one»third of the Net Project costs from the City with the re+ maining two»thirds being supplied by the Federal Government. The City's share may be in the form of cash contributions or non-cash grants-in-aid, these grants-in-aid are demolition and removal work, project or site improvements, public and supporting facilities, and others such as eredits from construction of public housings. At present, the eight Urban Renewal projects presently in execution are summarized as follows: 4 Net Project Costs $60 million! Local Non-Cash Grants-In-Aid 20 million : Local Cash and Real Estate Credits 1 million This points very emphatically to the fact that our present Urban Renewal program has been financed almost completely through the use of non-cash grants-in-aid, The results of this policy can be seen in the long delays encountered os the closing out of these projects, some of which date back into the 1950's, The cash used for these projects has come from money set aside in the 1957 and 1963 General Obligation Bond Issues and totaling $3.2 million, There« fore, we have, at present, $2.1 million of unencumbered funds available from this source, Of this amount, $1.7 is presently expected to be needed 2 . lof this amount $4.5 million or 74% has been incurred as interest charges, to meet the cash requirements of the Beaford-Pine Neighborhood Development Program Project in 1979.

The advent of the Neighborhood Development Program has brought to an end the period during which the City could pledge an improvement and then wait ert funding became available before completing it. Under the terms of an NDP agreement, the City must have completed or have under contract all non-cash grants-in-aid pledged for that particular year or contribute the required amount in cash. Our present MDP projects were funded for 1969 from already existing improve~ ments or supporting facilities amounting to a total City committment of $10.8 million. This supports a total Neighborhood Development Program of $32.4 million. The 1970 progrem is expected to have the following City requirements; Cash | Non-Cash Bedford-Pine $1.7 million $ .2 million fodel Cities 1.5 million 1.3 million Edgewood . el willion «2 million : Vine City _2k million o2 million $3.4 million $1.9 million This would support a total program of $19.9 million and would increase greatly if the Edgewood and Vine City projects were expanded to a signi- ficant level of activity. This means that to support the fairly light level of activity projected for 1970, the City will need approximately $1.7 willion. If any new areas are added or the level of activity increased this would increase from $2.5 to $4.0 million for 1970, The possible sources of funds include; 1. General Funds ~ This murce is already under considerable pressure and — no relief is presently anvierpaded, 2, The G. 0. Bonds already approved, for issue in the ananne of $4 million annually. The financing of Neighborhood Development Programs finm these bonds wevld requixe the use of almost this entire amount every year and could very likely become embroiled in legal tangles, 3, Another possibility is a special Neighborheod Development Progran General Obligation Bond Issue of $10 + $20 million in 1970 with another - issue 4 or 5 years later or the obtaining of voter approval to issue G. 0. Bonds for this purpose in the amount of $3-5 million per year,  Fh This appreach is naturally subject to ‘ims of the public, and, there+ fore, of uncertain dependability. 4, Pex thaps the best mathod would be through the obtaining of a new revenue ales tax or a payroll tax of which a 0 source, by state approval, such as a certain portion would be earmarked for Neighborhoal Development Programs, Of course in the pursuit of a new source of revenue we are at loggerheads with the state and may not be able to obtain a satisfactory revenue source, Regardless of the method you favor in obtaining the neeced funds, it is QD jiperative, if the City of Atlanta is to maintain its progressive image anc to continue its diamatic development, that a source be found; because the continuation of a sig gnificent program of restoration and rehablitation of the central core of Atlanta is a vital element in the continued evolution of our City.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

So far, only Morehouse College is part icipating . Emory and Georgia Tech indicated that they could not participate because of other building and activity programs this summer; 2, communicated with Coach Forbes, Morehouse's Director, individually, and discussed Morehouse's Proposal prior to submission. He later held a meeting with Dr. Forbes involving personnel from the City of Atlanta Parks and Recreation Department, Economic Opporuunity Atlanta and the Community Chest. At this meeting , the following proposed modification and changes were suggested and a greed to by Dr. Forbe s: a. The program would operate from 9:30-1:30 instead of 8:00a,m.-12:00 noon; b.

Fl etcher Coomb s ... �THE KENTUCKY YOUTH CONFERENCE The Kentucky Youth Conference was begun in 1967 by former Attorney General Robert Matthews to seek among the young people of Kentucky the leadership necessary to curb Kentucky's juvenile delinquency problem . In 1966 Kentucky got, for the first time, a roughly accurate look at its juvenile delinquency problem. In that year, the Attorney General's Office, in cooperation with the Department of Child Welfare, developed a voluntary and uniform juvenile offense reporting system . They found the over-all picture bleak, showing little end in sight to the rising tide of juvenile crime in the state of Kentucky. The Kentucky Youth Conference was designed to do something about this problem. It is based on the theory that y oung people, if given the opportunity, can themselves develop solutions to the problem of juvenile delinquency; that their energy, insight, and imagination cannot be overlooked; and that they should seize the l eadership in dealing with this problem. These concepts of the Conference became a reality in August of 1967 and again in August of 1968 when more than 800 high school age people from a ll parts of Kentucky gathered at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond to ask themselves what they could do about juvenile crime in their local communities. Their discussions, s timulated by exce llent speakers, programs , and the most comprehensive data on juvenile crime available , sparked many ideas for local projects . Youth Conference delegates have organized a teen jury in Henderson; a three - county Central T een Council in northern Kentucky involving county judges and police judges ; a youth employm e nt servic e in Versailles which, in its first year of operation, found jobs for s ome e ighty young people in the area; a nd a Boyd County program which has involved pre-teen children of indigent parents in the area in picnics and horseback riding . Many such programs throughout the Commonwe alth have met with such great success , unprece d e nted c ommunity interes t a nd widespread s upport tha t the annual Conferen ce will now remain a perm a n e nt ins titution in Ke ntucky. l �Delegates to the Conference have been sponsored in the past by more than twenty thousand Kentuckians representing corporations, labor unions, civic clubs, schools, and church organizations. These groups, along with various other foundations and youth organizations interested in the development of Kentucky youth and the prevention of juvenile delinquency, lend financial support to the Conference efforts. The Kentucky Youth Conference is now sponsored by the privately financed, non-profit Kentucky Juvenile Delinquency Prevention and Youth Development Foundation of Louisville, Kentucky and has begun a Sustaining Member Program intended to broaden its financial base, while giving Kentuckians a chance to participate in its efforts in an important and essential way. Throughout the entire state businesses, organizations and individuals recognize and support the tremendous potential of the Kentucky Youth Conference, and of Kentucky young people, to mobilize the resources of the state in effective combat against juvenile delinquency and to explore new areas of constructive citizenship for the young.

Atlanta, Ge orgia 30334 Re : Atlanta Youth Council Dear Mayor Allen: John Cox has tendered and the Executive Committee of the Youth Council has accepted his resignation from his job as Executive Director as of July 31, 1969. John is leaving the Youth Council to take Frank Thomas' job as Executive Director of the Butler Street Y. The Executive Committee of the Youth Council feels that John has served the Council diligently and effectively during his tenure as Executive Director. Before attempting to recruit a successor to John Cox, we wanted to ask y ou if you had any s uggestions for a s uccessor that we could offer to the committee in charge of selecting such a person and also to ask y ou if y our conception of the Youth Council or of the job to be filled had changed. As y ou may remember, there was some talk last Fall of conso lidating the Youth Council with another group s uch as the Crime Commission or the Community Relations Commi ssion. At that time, we were anxious to ge t the Council functioning and i t s pro g rams underwa y and did not want to ge t involved in a re-examinati o n of its p urposes or its p l ace in the structure o f City Government. That is still a fair assessment of the sentiment of the Executive Committee. Ne v e rthe l e s s , if changes in the status of the Council are contemplated, the Executive Committee felt that these changes should be known to it and taken into ac c ount in its p roce s s of rec ruiting a s ucces s or to John Cox .

Many of Atlant a ' s young teen-age children come to that community during the weekends and are exposed to the use of drugs. Also there are other people who come from outside of Atlanta who are not knowledgable about the dangers of drugs. Duane Beck bas asked the Youth Council to undertake a drug education program in the Hippy community and it is his suggestion that if it is to be effective it must avoid moralizing over the use of drugs and it must involve members of the community .

Said proposals are: Absenteeism Project; Central Coordination Services for Model Cities Youthi Juvenile Delinquency Prevention; and, United Youth Outreach. It is my understanding that the above projects were a part of the total program submitted to and approved by HUD. It is my further understanding that Jerry Luxemberger and John Cox appeared before the Executive Cormnittee to review and discuss the projects at which time questions were raised on the Absenteeism Proi!:_ct and the others were 11 all right 11 • Later Mr. Luxemberger conferred with Mr. Dan Sweat to obtain the general position of the Mayor concerning the Youth Council's Projects. It is my understanding that Mr. Luxemberger was informed that all of the projects were approved by the Mayor e xcept the Absenteeism Project. While we understand the broad responsibilities the Model Cities staff has in finalizing all of the projects submitted by the various agencies and organizations, the Youth Council Board is unable to ascertain reasons for the seemingly unusual delay in funding Council's projects.

I would specifically recommend that : 1. yo~th serve ob the Board of Youth Commie ion; 2. youth serve in an advisory c pacity to your City Planning Department; 3. youth rv Education; 4. youth rve 5. youth erve Agency; 6. youth rv in an advisory capacity to your Board of s con ulta.nts to your Recreation Dep rtin nt; con ultants to your Public Employm nt consultants to th Mayor' Office . �The problem of youth unrest is certainly one to be dealt with . This is not only true in Atlanta, but is the case in every major city in the nation. Atlanta's approach to dealing with this problem centers around the . general lack of services, commitments and interest on the part of larger communities . In this respect, the Atlanta Youth Council has been very effective in getting agencies to provide more services on a need basis; the result being those youth most in need of the services, receiving it. In addition, the total community has been alerted to the pressing need for providing adequate and effective services for all youth in the Metropolitan area . It is my feeling and while all of ful involvement sary ingredient that Atlanta has been very successful in this regard the youth problems have not been solved, the successof the total com.m unity on youth problems is the necesto succeesfully solving these problems; I hope this brief explanation has been helpful to you and will assist you in planning and coordinating the various services in your city.

The Youth Council, at its September meeting, decided that the Drug Education Project in the 14th Street area was an item which required further study by the Council and the Interagency Committee on Alcohol and Drugs before it could commit wholeheartedly to it. As you know, Lewis Dinkins has been trying to find some space in that community for housing a clinic sta rted last summer, a nd to date, has been unable to do so. We will certainly continue these efforts. Also, Lewis contacted Fulton County Health Department in efforts to ascertain resources which they had a vailable for drug educa tion and found tha t they were not substantial, to s ay the least . _After considerable discussion, the Youth Council Boa rd decided that any drug educ a tion a ctivity should be , a t present, under the juris diction of the Interagency Committee on Alcohol and Drugs which was c r eated in cooper ation with your organization . AN AGENCY OF THE CITY OF ATLANTA �-2- Because of its broader scope, the Interagancy Cormnittee, should consider how such an education project could be handled. For example: 1. What sources should be used for statements about drugs? 2. Which authorities should be considered correct? 3. Can statements be made? When · these preliminary decisions and guidelines are set by the Interagency Cormnittee, the Youth Council will be in a better position to set a course pf effective coordinati6n and action for these youth.

The City of Atlanta, in turn, designated E0A as the agency who will · receive such fundso This does not mean, nor has it ever meant, that this is an E0A project exclusively or an E0A delegate agency; this simply means that E0A's responsibility in this project has been the administrative input necessary for effective program implementation . The City Sanitation Division also co-sponsor e d this p r oject with specific responsibilities accepted by them as an equal to E0A, Atlanta Youth Council and all other sponsors and co-sponsors. Most of the agencies participating in this project have been fle x i ble enough to make sufficient input and provide sufficient re sources to move the project effectively at this point in time o However, some of us are still laboring under long - range and irrele vant concepts which tend to hamper and render ineffective any progress in this area. . . . . - -..- . - --.. - - ·-· . - " .- . . . ·- . �-2- As Director of the Rodent Control Project, I am requesting that you use the influence of your office to insure that such short comings be effectively dealt with and eliminated .

It was the inte nt of the Pre sid e nt's Council on Youth Opportunity that the CRP in HUD b e used simply as a conduit to provide funds to city youth agencies for summer planning and programming. There was no intent to require local CRP (CIP) agencies to justify the use of these funds as a part of the normal CRP program activities. This is also the understanding of John Edmunds. I see no reason w hy w e should not transfer the rema1n1ng funds from the 1968 approv al to the Youth Council immediately so they w_ill b e able to continue their present activities without interruption. Mr. E dmunds has informe d me th a t the $30, 000 for 1969 YOP activiti e s has been set aside by HUD in Washington for Atlanta's use. He will let us know shortly if your lette r can serve as th e 1969 application. 1~1y your::/ P// Sweat cc: Mayo r I van All en, J r.

In 1966 Kentucky got, for the first time, a roughly accurate look at its juvenile delinquency problem. In that year, the Attorney General's Office, in cooperation with the Department of Child Welfare, developed a voluntary and uniform juvenile offense reporting system . They found the over-all picture bleak, showing little end in sight to the rising tide of juvenile crime in the state of Kentucky. The Kentucky Youth Conference was designed to do something about this problem. It is based on the theory that y oung people, if given the opportunity, can themselves develop solutions to the problem of juvenile delinquency; that their energy, insight, and imagination cannot be overlooked; and that they should seize the l eadership in dealing with this problem. These concepts of the Conference became a reality in August of 1967 and again in August of 1968 when more than 800 high school age people from a ll parts of Kentucky gathered at Eastern Kentucky University in Richmond to ask themselves what they could do about juvenile crime in their local communities. Their discussions, s timulated by exce llent speakers, programs , and the most comprehensive data on juvenile crime available , sparked many ideas for local projects . Youth Conference delegates have organized a teen jury in Henderson; a three - county Central T een Council in northern Kentucky involving county judges and police judges ; a youth employm e nt servic e in Versailles which, in its first year of operation, found jobs for s ome e ighty young people in the area; a nd a Boyd County program which has involved pre-teen children of indigent parents in the area in picnics and horseback riding . Many such programs throughout the Commonwe alth have met with such great success , unprece d e nted c ommunity interes t a nd widespread s upport tha t the annual Conferen ce will now remain a perm a n e nt ins titution in Ke ntucky. l �Delegates to the Conference have been sponsored in the past by more than twenty thousand Kentuckians representing corporations, labor unions, civic clubs, schools, and church organizations. These groups, along with various other foundations and youth organizations interested in the development of Kentucky youth and the prevention of juvenile delinquency, lend financial support to the Conference efforts. The Kentucky Youth Conference is now sponsored by the privately financed, non-profit Kentucky Juvenile Delinquency Prevention and Youth Development Foundation of Louisville, Kentucky and has begun a Sustaining Member Program intended to broaden its financial base, while giving Kentuckians a chance to participate in its efforts in an important and essential way. Throughout the entire state businesses, organizations and individuals recognize and support the tremendous potential of the Kentucky Youth Conference, and of Kentucky young people, to mobilize the resources of the state in effective combat against juvenile delinquency and to explore new areas of constructive citizenship for the young.

The Executive Committee of the Youth Council feels that John has served the Council diligently and effectively during his tenure as Executive Director.

Many of Atlant a ' s young teen-age children come to that community during the weekends and are exposed to the use of drugs. Also there are other people who come from outside of Atlanta who are not knowledgable about the dangers of drugs. Duane Beck bas asked the Youth Council to undertake a drug education program in the Hippy community and it is his suggestion that if it is to be effective it must avoid moralizing over the use of drugs and it must involve members of the community .

Said proposals are: Absenteeism Project; Central Coordination Services for Model Cities Youthi Juvenile Delinquency Prevention; and, United Youth Outreach. It is my understanding that the above projects were a part of the total program submitted to and approved by HUD.

The Council serves as the overall coordinating agency for the city's Youth Opportunity Program . Said Council pulls together a Metro- Atlanta Youth Opportunity Council consisting of representatives f1>1>m several business , civic, religious, private and public groups . This Council makes recommendations to the Youth Council's Board regarding pr ogram pr iorities, d i stribution and h ours of operation. Such recommendations are made on the basis of researched and evaluated needs and gaps undertaken by the Council I s staff •.• in the areas of employment, recreation, education, .a rt, camping, transpo rtati on, volunteers, special events, social services, special programs and public relations . For your benefit, I am enclosing a copy of our 1969 Youth Oppor tunity Plan. It is my strong conviction that youth have a very essential and important role to play in any community, for youth, in fact, constitu the citizens of tomorrow. A big part of the urban problem i8 essentially a youth problem in terms of hwnan resources and development; and any urban planning must take into con ider tion this very important ingredient. 1 would recommend that youth be intimately involved in any coordinating activities aimed at helping youth. I would specifically recommend that : 1. yo~th serve ob the Board of Youth Commie ion; 2. youth serve in an advisory c pacity to your City Planning Department; 3. youth rv Education; 4. youth rve 5. youth erve Agency; 6. youth rv in an advisory capacity to your Board of s con ulta.nts to your Recreation Dep rtin nt; con ultants to your Public Employm nt consultants to th Mayor' Office . �The problem of youth unrest is certainly one to be dealt with . This is not only true in Atlanta, but is the case in every major city in the nation. Atlanta's approach to dealing with this problem centers around the . general lack of services, commitments and interest on the part of larger communities . In this respect, the Atlanta Youth Council has been very effective in getting agencies to provide more services on a need basis; the result being those youth most in need of the services, receiving it. In addition, the total community has been alerted to the pressing need for providing adequate and effective services for all youth in the Metropolitan area . It is my feeling and while all of ful involvement sary ingredient that Atlanta has been very successful in this regard the youth problems have not been solved, the successof the total com.m unity on youth problems is the necesto succeesfully solving these problems; I hope this brief explanation has been helpful to you and will assist you in planning and coordinating the various services in your city.

The Youth Council, at its September meeting, decided that the Drug Education Project in the 14th Street area was an item which required further study by the Council and the Interagency Committee on Alcohol and Drugs before it could commit wholeheartedly to it. As you know, Lewis Dinkins has been trying to find some space in that community for housing a clinic sta rted last summer, a nd to date, has been unable to do so. We will certainly continue these efforts. Also, Lewis contacted Fulton County Health Department in efforts to ascertain resources which they had a vailable for drug educa tion and found tha t they were not substantial, to s ay the least . _After considerable discussion, the Youth Council Boa rd decided that any drug educ a tion a ctivity should be , a t present, under the juris diction of the Interagency Committee on Alcohol and Drugs which was c r eated in cooper ation with your organization . AN AGENCY OF THE CITY OF ATLANTA �-2- Because of its broader scope, the Interagancy Cormnittee, should consider how such an education project could be handled. For example: 1. What sources should be used for statements about drugs? 2. Which authorities should be considered correct? 3. Can statements be made? When · these preliminary decisions and guidelines are set by the Interagency Cormnittee, the Youth Council will be in a better position to set a course pf effective coordinati6n and action for these youth.

The City of Atlanta, in turn, designated E0A as the agency who will · receive such fundso This does not mean, nor has it ever meant, that this is an E0A project exclusively or an E0A delegate agency; this simply means that E0A's responsibility in this project has been the administrative input necessary for effective program implementation . The City Sanitation Division also co-sponsor e d this p r oject with specific responsibilities accepted by them as an equal to E0A, Atlanta Youth Council and all other sponsors and co-sponsors.

This was included . as part of the Atlanta Community Improvement Program budg~t for 1968 in Amenclatory Application #2. We have been requested to relay several requests of the Atlanta Children and Youth Ser vices Council relative to continuing the Youth Opportunity Program. 1. That the Council be allowed continued use of those federal funds approved in Amendatory Application {t2, which have not been completely used to this point. In other words, in the approved budget period from February 21, 1968 to February 21, 1969, only $21,385 of the ori g inal $30,000 have been used for this project, leaving a residual of $8,615 in federal funds . ..-· �I I I f Mr, John T. Edmunds Page Two February 25, 1969 2. That the Council's original scope of services as sho\-m in Arnend a tory Application ff2 be reaffirmed and extended in time for 1969 by HUD. This action would be in lieu of the Council having to submit a new scop:? of ser vices in another Amendatory Application for 1969, and 3. In addition to the abo ve, the Council requests additio~al federal funds from HUD for the Youth Opportunity Progr am for 1969 in t he amount of $30,000. The Council again would provide the necessary $15,000 in local non-cash contributions. We would appreciate your review a nd concurrence in the abo~e requests.

SWEAT, JR., Director of Governmental Liaison Mr. Collier Gladin Director of Planning City of Atlanta 700 City Hall Atlanta, Georgia Dear Collier: Re: Your letter to John T. Edmunds of February 25, 1969 This is to request that you transfer the $8, 615 remaining in Amendatory Application #2 of the Community Improvement Program to the Atlanta Children and Youth Services Council. It was the inte nt of the Pre sid e nt's Council on Youth Opportunity that the CRP in HUD b e used simply as a conduit to provide funds to city youth agencies for summer planning and programming. There was no intent to require local CRP (CIP) agencies to justify the use of these funds as a part of the normal CRP program activities. This is also the understanding of John Edmunds. I see no reason w hy w e should not transfer the rema1n1ng funds from the 1968 approv al to the Youth Council immediately so they w_ill b e able to continue their present activities without interruption. Mr. E dmunds has informe d me th a t the $30, 000 for 1969 YOP activiti e s has been set aside by HUD in Washington for Atlanta's use.
