Sweat, Jr. Chief Administrator Office of the Mayor City Hall . Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mr 0 Sweat: The Interagency Council on Alcohol and Drugs is composed of 150 public and private agency and organization representatives who are concerned and interested in the problem of alcoholism and drug abuse. It is chaired by Dr. James L. Goddard whose background in Public Health and Pure Foods and Drugs has lent immeasurable support and knowledge to the Council. The Interagency Council was established to carry on a program of · e ducation, coordinate existing services and stimulate the developme nt of new ones . At present there is a tremendous amount of public interest in drug abuse and many groups are eager to do something about it . There are now 4 proposals rf or Drug Treatment Centers which the Interagency Council is e valuating in order to make recommendations f or implementation. The se pl ans all require support from the city administration. Since the Council is composed of and has access to most of the drug specialists in the area the judgment s it makes s hould be valid and obj e ctive . We wi ll be glad to supply you with our findings and act as a clearing house for all drug treatment proposals .

ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303 ALENE F. UHRY, Editor TELEPHONE 577-2250 January, 1970 SPECIAL EDITION LOOKING AHEAD Eugene Branch, Chairman of the Community Council's Board of Directors, has carefully reviewed our activities of the year just ended, and now looks ahead to 1970. We believe Communique readers will be interested in the following program Mr. Branch envisions: The beginning of a new year is a good time for an organization to pause long enough to consider where it is in the achrevement of its goals and where it is going. Since others are due the credit, I think it not immodest of me to say that I believe the Council did a good job in 1969. However, rather than dwell on the 1969 activities, it would seem more helpful to mention some of the activities which will be given priority in 1970. In addition to the normal and on-going activities of the Social Research Center and Permanent Conference, the following illustrate the activities which will be given emphasis in 1970: 1. Community Coordinated Child Care (4-C) The 4-C program is a federal program designed to develop a coordinated program to provide services to childre n--and thus make better use of the community's funds and resources in providing such services. Atlanta was named a pilot community and the Council was named the delegate agency. A Steering Committee composed of parents, representatives of day care agencies and organizations has been elected and is at work. Much of our staff time will be devoted to this activity. This is an outgrowth of our Child Development Project. 2. Day Care Action Subcommittee ~he very fine work of this Subcommittee will be continued in 1970. Its function is to stimulate interest in day care and help develop new day care resources. In 1969 ,the Subcommittee published a Day Care Manual which provides a step-by-step guide to those interested in planning and developing a day care center. The response has been so enthusiastic that we are swamped with requests by church groups and others for technical assistance. This important activity also arose out of our Child Development Project. �3. Coordination of Services and Planning One of the most important on-going activities of the Council is that of bringing together planning and service agencies in an effort to provide coordination of planning and services. The existing funds and resources for dealing with our urgent urban problems are extremely limited and all agencies have an obligation to jointly plan and coordinate their activities in dealing with the problems which are their major concern. Space does not permit an adequate description of the Council's work activities in coordination but.. periodic reports will be given in Communique. 4. Emergency Assistance Every effort to identify the most urgent problems in our five-county area has resulted in high priority being given to the need for developing more resources for emergency assistance. There are many aspects of the problem. An Emergency Assi8tance Committee has been organized and has begun to function. It has determined to work first on developing resources to deal with the problems arising out of evictions. Hundreds of families are evicted each year and there is no organized program to help the evicted families with such needs as storage space for furniture, temporary shelter, f ood etc. 5. Other Special Activities (a) Welfare Committee. Practically everyone agrees that our entire welfare program must be overhauled. A Welfare Committee is studying various income maintenance programs, including the Administration ' s Family Assis tance Act, and will make periodic reports. {b) Advisory Committee for Information and Referral. This Committee was formed to a s s i st in the improvement of information and referral service in the metropolitan Atlanta area and to devise means for improving servi ces to meet the most urgent ne eds identi f ied by such s e rvice. Among o t he r things , thi s Committe e will he lp f ocus attention on t he most serious ummet needs in our area. (c) Fourte enth Street Mult i -Purpose Cente r. The Council ha s leased a hous e on Juni per Street to be used as a community cen ter f o r t he Four t eenth St reet area . I t is funct i oning and has been well -receive d . The foc u s will be on a volunt a r y medica l clini c, a counsel i ng c enter and a t wenty-four hour informati on and ~eferral service . This facilit y is being operated at t he pre sent t ime entire ly by volunteers . The Center can meet a great neea a nd we 'l l keep you up to da t e on i t s activi ti e s i n Communique. (d ) Interagency Counc il on Al c ohol a nd Drugs . Th is Council is simply a " coming together ' of establ ished agencies concerned with problems related to the use of alcohol and drugs. It provides a means by which such agencies can work together. The Council has divided itself into the following five Task Forces: Resources and Exis ting Facilities and Services, Education, Treatment and Counseling, Speakers Bureau, and Legal Aspects and Legislation. You've received some information on this important and interesting activity and more will be forthcoming. - -- (e) Expanded Public Information Service. We have improved our methods of get·ting valuable information to the general public and will give greater emphasis to this activity. The information gathered by our Research Center and through our various programs, if properly and attractively passed on to the general public, will provide our area with a better informed citizenry. This greater understanding of our problems will in time result in an improvement in services and funds to meet the problems. �ll The above are simply illustrative of the variety of activities in which the Council is engaged. The Child Development Project revealed the need for further work on such problems as retardation of children, the need for twenty-four hour child care, learning difficulties etc. Volunteer Atlanta The Council is a .sponsor of Volunteer Atlanta and will continue to assist this project. As you may recall, Volunteer Atlanta was brought about largely by the Council and is sponsored by the Council, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the Atlanta Junior League, the Community Chest, and E.O.A. Its object is to recruit, train and place volunteers in public and private agencies throughout the five-county area. We think this can be one of the most important projects begun in the Atlanta area during recent years. Assistance to Groups The Council is receiving an ever increasing number of 1·equests for technical assistance from agencies, neighborhood groups, and civic organizations. Agencies are requesting assistance in reviewing their programs; neighborhoods are seeking assistance in the drafting of proposals for resident-determined programs; and civic organizations are asking for suggestions as to the type of programs in which they might be effectively involved Thus, technical assistance to neighborhood groups and direct service agencies is becoming a major role of the Council. We think this role should be emphasized and that means must be devised to adequately provide such assistance. The Council is.basically a collection of staff, accumulated information and experience, and skill, and whenever its assistance can make agencies, neighborhood groups, churches and civic organizations more effective in their work, we add to the funds and resources being put to effective use in our community. This type of . assistance is one of the most important functions the Council can perform. t Program Development During the early part of 1970, we expect to organize a Program Development Committee for the Council. This Committee will be made up of Board members and individuals who are n~t on the Board. Its function will be to provide a means for continually reviewing the work activities of the Councii and assisting in the establishment of priority for its programs. The Council is a social planning organization which can be an important resource in the community only if it retains its vitality and flexibility. If the Council had become rigid in devising its programs, its people and resources would not have been available to engage in some of the activities described above which maintain a balance between continuity in those activities which look to long range improvement and flexibility sufficient to give the community the benefit of the skill and information available through the Council's resources. The Program Development Committee will provide a means for retaining the Council's vitality and balance in its work activities. Obviously there is a great deal to be done to make our five-county area a better place in which to live. I think it equally obvious that there is a great deal with which to do the job if we plan and work together with imagination, enthusiasm and a sense of urgency. So let's roll up our sleeves and see what we can accomplish together in 1970. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

It has determined to work first on developing resources to deal with the problems arising out of evictions, Hundreds of families are evicted each year and there is no organized program to help the evicted families with such needs as storage space for furniture, temporary shelter, food etc, 5. Other Special Activities (a) Welfare Committee, Practically everyone agrees that our entire welfare program must be overhauled. A Welfare Committee is studying various income maintenance programs, including the Administration's Family Assis- tance Act, and will make periodic reports. (b) Advisory Committee for Information and Referral. This Committee was formed to assist in the improvement of information and referral service in the metropolitan Atlanta area and to devise means for improving services to meet the most urgent needs identified by such service, Among other things, this Committee will help focus attention on the most serious unmet needs in our area, (c) Fourteenth Street Multi-Purpose Center, The Council has leased a house on Juniper Street to be used as a community center for the Fourteenth Street area, It is functioning and has been well-received. The focus will be on a voluntary medical clinic, a counseling center and a twenty-four hour information and referral service, This facility is being operated at the present time entirely by volunteers, The Center can meet a great need and we'll keep you up to date on its activities in Communique. (d) Interagency Council on Alcohol and Drugs. This Council is simply a “coming together" of established agencies concerned with problems related to the use of alcohol and drugs. It provides a means by which such agencies can work together, The Council has divided itself into the following five Task Forces: Resources and Existing Facilities and Services, Education, Treatment and Counseling, Speakers Bureau, and Legal Aspects and Legisla- tion. You've received some information on this important and interesting activity and more will be forthcoming. (e) Expanded Public Information Service, We have improved our methods of getting valuable information to the general public and will give greater emphasis to this activity. The information gathered by our Research Center and through our various programs, if properly and attractively passed on to the general public, will provide our area with a better informed citizenry, This greater understanding of our problems will in time result in an improvement in services and funds to meet the problems, The above are simply illustrative of the variety of activities in which the Council is engaged, The Child Development Project revealed the need for further work on such problems as retardation of children, the need for twenty-four hour child care, learning difficulties etc, Volunteer Atlanta The Council is a sponsor of Volunteer Atlanta and will continue to assist this project. As you may recall, Volunteer Atlanta was brought about largely by the Council and is sponsored by the Council, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the Atlanta Junior League, the Community Chest, and E.0,A, Its object is to recruit, train and place volunteers in public and private agencies throughout the five-county area, We think this can be one of the most important projects begun in the Atlanta area during recent years, Assistance to Groups The Council is receiving an ever increasing number of requests for technical assistance from agencies, neighborhood groups, and civic organi- zations, Agencies are requesting assistance in reviewing their programs; neighborhoods are seeking assistance in the drafting of proposals for resident-determined programs; and civic organizations are asking for sugges- tions as to the type of programs in which they might be effectively involved Thus, technical assistance to neighborhood groups and direct service agencies is becoming a major role of the Council. We think this role should be emphasized and that means must be devised to adequately provide such assistance, The Council is’ basically a collection of staff, accumu- lated information and experience, and skill, and whenever its assistance can make agencies, neighborhood groups, churches and civic organizations more effective in their work, we add to the funds and resources being put to effective use in our community. This type of assistance is one of the most important functions the Council can perform. Program Development During the early part of 1970, we expect to organize a Program Develop- ment Committee for the Council. This Committee will be made up of Board members and individuals who are not on the Board. Its function will be to provide a means for continually reviewing the work activities of the Councii and assisting in the establishment of priority for its programs. The Council is a social planning organization which can be an important resource in the community only if it retains its vitality and flexibility. If the Council had become rigid in devising its programs, its people and resources would not have been available to engage in some of the activities described above which maintain a balance between continuity in those acti- vities which look to long range improvement and flexibility sufficient to give the community the benefit of the skill and information available through the Council's resources, The Program Development Committee will provide a means for retaining the Council's vitality and balance in its work activities, Obviously there is a great deal to be done to make our five-county area a better place in which to live. I think it equally obvious that there is a great deal with which to do the job if we plan and work together with imagination, enthusiasm and a sense of urgency.

We believe Communique readers will be interested in the following program Mr. Branch envisions: The beginning of a new year is a good time for an organization to pause long enough to· consider wher·e it is in the achi-evement of its goals and where it is going. Since others are due the credit, I think it not immodest of me to say that I believe the Council did a good job in 1969. However, rather than dwell on the 1969 activities, it would seem more helpful to mention some of the activities which will be given priority in 1970. In addition to the normal and on-going activities of the Social Research Center and Permanent Conference, the following illustrate the activities which will be given emphasis in 1970: 1. Community Coordinated Child Care (4-C) The 4-C program is a federal program designed to develop a coordinated program to provide services to children--and thus make better u se of the community's funds and resources in providing such services. Atlanta was named a pilot community and the Council was named the delegate agency. A Steering Committee compos ed of parents , representatives of day care agencies and organizations has been elected and is at work. Much of our staff time will be devoted to this activity. This is an outgrowth of our Child Development Project. 2. Day Care Action Subcommittee The very fine work of this Subcommittee will be continued in 1970. Its function is to stimulate interest in day care and help develop new day care resources. In 1969 ,the Subcommittee published a Day Care Manual which provides a step-by-step guide to those interested in planning and developing a day- care center. The response has been so enthusiastic that we are ~wamped with requests by church groups and others for technical assistance. This important activity also arose out of our Child Development Project. �3. Coordination of Services and Planning One of the most important on-going activities, of the Council is that of bringing together planning and service agencies in an effort t o provide coordination of planning and services.

Every effort to identit'y the most urgent problems in our five-county area has resulted in high priority being given to the need for developing more resources for emergency assistance. There are many aspects of the problem. An Emergency Assi8tance Committee has been organized and has begun to funotion.

Hundreds of families are evicted each year and there is no organized program to help the evicted families with such needs as stor age space for furniture, temporary shel ter, f ood etc. 5.

The Child Development Project revealed the need for further work on such problems as retardation of children, the need for t wenty-four hour child care, learning difficulties etc. Volunteer Atlanta The Council is a sponsor of Volunteer Atlanta and will continue to assist this project. As you may recall, Volunteer Atlanta was brought about largely by the Council and is sponsored by the Council, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the Atlanta Junior League, the Community Chest, and E.O.A. Its object is to recruit, train and place volunteers in public and private agencies throughout the five-county area. We think this can be one of the most important projects begun in the Atlanta area during recent years. Assistance to Groups The Council is receiving an ever increasing number of requests for technical assistance from agencies, neighborhood groups, and civic organizations. Agencies are requesting assistance in reviewing their programs; neighborhoods are seeking assistance in the dr--dfting of proposals for resident-determined programs; and civic organi zations are asking for suggestions as to the type of programs in which they might be effectively involved Thus, technical assista nce to neighborhood groups and direct service agencies is becoming a major role of the Council. We think this role should be emphasized and that means must be devised to adequately provide such assistance.

The Council is a s oc ial pl anning organization which can be an important resource in the community onl y if it ret ains i ts vital ity and flexibility.

Day Care Action Subcommittee The very fine work of this Subcommittee will be continued in 1970, Its function is to stimulate interest in day care and help develop new day care resources, In 1969 the Subcommittee published a Day Care Manual which provides a step-by-step guide to those interested in planning and developing a day care center, The response has been so enthusiastic that we are swamped with requests by church groups and others for technical assistance, This important activity also arose out of our Child Develop- ment Project. ae Coordination of Services and Planning One of the most important on-going activities of the Council is that of bringing together planning and service agencies in an effort to provide coordination of planning and services, The existing funds and resources for dealing with our urgent urban problems are extremely limited and all agencies have an obligation to jointly plan and coordinate their activities in dealing with the problems which are their major ooncern., Space does not permit an adequate description of the Council's work activities in coordi- nation but periodic reports will be given in Communique, 4, Emergency Assistance Every effort to identify the most urgent problems in our five-county area has resulted in high priority being given to the need for developing more resources for emergency assistance. There are many aspects of the problem, An Emergency Assistance Committee has been organized and has begun to funG- tion. It has determined to work first on developing resources to deal with the problems arising out of evictions. Hundreds of families are evicted each year and there is no organized program to help the evicted families with such needs as storage space for furniture, temporary shelter, food etc, 5. Other Special Activities (a) Welfare Committee, Practically everyone agrees that our entire welfare program must be overhauled. A Welfare Committee is studying various income maintenance programs, including the Administration's Family Assis- tance Act, and will make periodic reports. (b) Advisory Committee for Information and Referral, This Committee was formed to assist in the improvement of information and referral service in the metropolitan Atlanta area and to devise means for improving services to meet the most urgent needs identified by such service, Among other things, this Committee will help focus attention on the most serious ummet needs in our area, (c) Fourteenth Street Multi-Purpose Center. The Council has leased a house on Juniper Street to be used as a community center for the Fourteenth Street area, It is functioning and has been well-received, The focus will be on a voluntary medical clinic, a counseling center and a twenty-four hour information and referral: service, This facility is being operated at the present time entirely by volunteers, The Center can meet a great need and we'll keep you up to date on its activities in Communique. (ad) Interagency Council on Alcohol and Drugs. This Council is simply a “coming together" of established agencies concerned with problems related to the use of alcohol and drugs. It provides a means by which such agencies can work together. The Council has divided itself into the following five Task Forces: Resources and Existing Facilities and Services, Education, Treatment and Counseling, Speakers Bureau, and Legal Aspects and Legisla- tion. You've received some information on this important and interesting activity and more will be forthcoming. (e) Expanded Public Information Service, We have improved our methods of getting valuable information to the general public and will give greater emphasis to this activity. The information gathered by our Research Center and through our various programs, if properly and attractively passed on to the general public, will provide our area with a better informed citizenry, This greater understanding of our problems will in time result in an improvement in services and funds to meet the problems. The above are simply illustrative of the variety of activities in which the Council is engaged, The Child Development Project revealed the need for further work on such problems as retardation of children, the need for twenty-four hour child care, learning difficulties etc, Volunteer Atlanta The Council is a sponsor of Volunteer Atlanta and will continue to assist this project. As you may recall, Volunteer Atlanta was brought about largely by the Council and is sponsored by the Council, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the Atlanta Junior League, the Community Chest, and E.O.A, Its object is to recruit, train and place volunteers in public and private agencies throughout the five-county area, We think this can be one of the most important projects begun in the Atlanta area during recent years, Assistance to Groups The Council is receiving an ever increasing number of requests for technical assistance from agencies, neighborhood groups, and civic organi- zations, Agencies are requesting assistance in reviewing their programs; neighborhoods are seeking assistance in the drafting of proposals for resident-determined programs; and civic organizations are asking for sugges-— tions as to the type of programs in which they might be effectively involved Thus, technical assistance to neighborhood groups and direct service agencies is becoming a major role of the Council. We think this role should be emphasized and that means must be devised to adequately provide such assistance, The Council is’ basically a collection of staff, accumu- lated information and experience, and skill, and whenever its assistance can make agencies, neighborhood groups, churches and civic organizations more effective in their work, we add to the funds and resources being put to effective use in our community. This type of assistance is one of the most important functions the Council can perform, Program Development During the early part of 1970, we expect to organize a Program Develop- ment Committee for the Council. This Committee will be made up of Board members and individuals who are not on the Board. Its function will be to provide a means for continually reviewing the work activities of the Council and assisting in the establishment of priority for its programs. The Council is a social planning organization which can be an important resource in the community only if it retains its vitality and flexibility. If the Council had become rigid in devising its programs, its people and resources would not have been available to engage in some of the activities described above which maintain a balance between continuity in those acti- vities which look to long range improvement and flexibility sufficient to give the community the benefit of the skill and information available through the Council's resources, The Program Development Committee will provide a means for retaining the Council's vitality and balance in its work activities. Obviously there is a great deal to be done to make our five-county area a better place in which to live. I think it equally obvious that there is a great deal with which to do the job if we plan and work together with imagination, enthusiasm and a sense of urgency, So let's roll up our sleeves and see what we can accomplish together in 1970,  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A 52-member " Metropolitan Atlanta Council for Health" has been established, a detailed proposal for a five-year work program has been prepared and submitted, and an organizational structure for carrying out comprehensive health planning has been created. However, a number of new r and rather bold departures from tradition have been made , in an effort to implement, fully, the vision of Public Law 89- 749, the "Partnership for Health" act.

Your g uidance and help in both these areas are urgently needed. It is not an exaggeration to say that two or three decisions by you, now, can have an extremely important impact, not only on the success of health planning in this metropolitan area, but also on race relations in all aspects of community life, and even on the threatened "abolish Atlanta" movement.

Under this law, the States, and through them, areas within the States, must assume responsibility for comprehensive health planning. The Congress declared that "fulfillment of our national purpose depends on promoting and assuring the highest level of health attainable for every person, in an environment which contributes positively to healthful individual and family living; that attainment of this goal depends on an effective partnership, involving close intergovernmental collaboration, official and voluntary efforts. and participation of individuals and organizations; . that Federal financial assistance must be directed to support the marshalling of all health resources--national, State, and local--to assure comprehensive health services of high quality for every person, but without interference with existing patterns of private professional practice of medicine, dentistry, and related healing arts". The Atlanta metropolitan area was the first in Georgia to apply for and receive an "organizational grant" for the purpose of defining and developing an organization which will be capable of doing comprehensive health planning and obtaining community participation and support in the planning effort. This grant, from the U.S. Public Health Service, through the Georgia Office of Comprehensive Health Planning, supports the Community Council of the Atlanta Area in the professional and organizational effort necessary to instigate such an organization. Dr. Raphael B. Levine, of the Lockheed- · Georgia Company Systema Sciences Research Laboratory, has been named Director of the Comprehensive Areawide Health Planning, to accomplish these organizational objectives. r The term "comprehensive" means that every aspect of the health picture in the five-county metropolitan area must be taken into account in the planning process. This includes not only the treatment of illness and injury, but their prevention, and the compensation for any lasting effects which they may leave. Thus, in addition to the manifold activities of medical and paramedical personnel in the variety of health t reatment facilities, planning must consider environmental controls of the air, water, soil, food, disease vectors, housing codes and construction, waste disposal, etc. It must consider needs for the training of health personnel, for the improvement of manpower and facilities utilization, and for the access to health care. It includes the fields of mental health, dental health, and rehabilitation. It must be conc e rned with the means of paying for preventive measures and for health care. The term "planning" means, first, that problem areas and potential problem areas in the entire f i eld must be identified,and their magnitude s assessed. The trends of the problems must also be assessed, and projected for future years. Technical and organizational bottlenecks must be identified, and "planned around". Second, the community's resources ·in meeting its health needs must be equally carefully identified and projected, in terms of professional and subprofessional skills, facilities, and financial resources . � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Finally, planning must preserve and encourage the highest level of professional competence in the entire health system, and must make use of the insights of all concerned in the community health system. The overall task of putting together such an organization is thus seen to be a problem in "systems" analysis and development, Since the total resources of the community are likely to remain smaller than the demands which an ideal health system will place on the resources, rational and just methods of assigning priorities to the various needs must be developed. A cost-benefit analysis is essential to any such decision process, and, considering the literally hundreds of specific health needs in the community, it is likely that the cost-benefit model must rather soon make use of modern computer techniques. The Partnership for Health law requires that such planning be d o n e ~ people rather than for people. Therefore, maximum participation of health "consumers", healthprofessionals, governmental units and agencies, and other community organizations is a necessity. The law is telling the States and communities that they will be given increasing responsibility and power to determine their own best health interests, and that the current Federal practi~e of funding health-related projects through specific project-type grants (such as for specific facilities and specific disease processes) will phase into a system of "plock" grants to the states for use as local emphasis requires. Eventually, only communities which have organized themselves for comprehensive health planning may be eligihle to receive Federal support. The current Atlanta area project is a pioneering effort. No other communities in the country have progressed far enough along these lines to provide patterns as to what~ should do (or avoid). We have an opportunity to be of service not only to our own community, but to others as well. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
