convenience. There was only desultory talk about TUFF's
grievances, the principal issue TUFF presented to the
authority being the future and not the past. That meeting
concluded when the Authority agreed to "study" the proposed
Bill of Rights. When Mrs. Mandy Griggs asked Mr. Stern how
TUFF would have to wait for a response, Mr. Stern informed
her that he "hoped" to have a response "within six months"
but could make no promises.

P. S.
I have just learned from Mrs. Griggs, Chairman
of TUFF, that the housing authority has demanded
of her a substantial payment for "excess gas" and
has refused to accept her rent unless she is willing
to tender the excess payment.

Dear Johnny:
The present status of TUFF is as follows:

On January 16th, the Executive Board of TUFF had
a meeting with the Board of Commissioners of the Atlanta
Housing Authority, and presented to AHA a "Tenants' Bill
of Rights", a copy of which I have enclosed for your
convenience. There was only desultory talk about TUFF's
grievances, the principal issue TUFF presented to the
authority being the future and not the past. That meeting
concluded when the Authority agreed to "study" the proposed
Bill of Rights. When Mrs. Mandy Griggs asked Mr. Stern how
TUFF would have to wait for a response, Mr. Stern informed
her that he "hoped" to have a response "within six months"
but could make no promises.

On February 3rd, TUFF called a meeting of community
leaders to discuss tenants' grievances against the Atlanta
Housing Authority. The following organizations were repre-
sented at that meeting:

Good Government Atlanta

Southern Christian Leadership Conference

Metropolitan Atlanta Summit Leadership
Conference

Approximately seventy people were in attendance and at
the close of the meeting, Reverend B. J. Johnson recommended
that those present support the efforts of TUFF to obtain the
Tenants' Bill of Rights they had requested,and support TUFF
in any other way possible.

The Motion was unanimously carried and the partici-
pants of the meeting then determined to have a mass meeting

The group agreed to meet late in February. The
leaders of TUFF and the leaders of the organizations
represented at the February 3rd meeting are now making
plans for that mass meeting.

According to my most recent information, the Boards

of Directors of the following organizations have endorsed
TUFF's Bill of Rights and pledged to support TUFF:

Metropolitan Atlanta Summit Leadership
Conference

Concerned Clergy

Good Government Atlanta

Georgia Council on Human Relations, and

Metropolitan Atlanta Housing Conference,

As TUFF's legal advisor, I am, as you might imagine,
anxious to avoid any situation in which my clients would
find themselves at odds with legally constituted authority.
Mr. John Robinson February 10th, 1969

The rigid and uncompromising position of the housing
authority, however, has now angered a large segment of
informed opinion in Atlanta. Anything your office can
do to assist my clients would be greatly appreciated.

The voices of these p ople might not always be right, but they must be

a general public review of AHA policie and procedures and revlelon Qf

I do not intend to imply that AHA is ;right or wrong ui any way eo far a

Thirty-one years ago the Atlanta Housing Authority was established to
provide for decent shelter for the less fortunate citizens of Atlanta.

Under the Authority leadership, the very first low-rent public housing»
project in America was built - Techwood Homes. Since that time, AHA
has built and operated some 10,550 units of public housing and has
almost 1, 587 units under construction for occupancy very soon.

At the same time, AHA has been the administrative arm for the City
of Atlanta urban redevelopment program. Like the public housing
program, the urban renewal program has long been ae as one
of the most outstanding in the United States.

No one can deny this fact!

The Atlanta Housing Authority has been a moving force behind the

Over the years since the inception of AHA, we have seen staggering
changes in the economic, social and political face of Atlanta, AHA,
like many other successful forces in the city, has been an agent for
much of this change. It has, in fact, undergone much change in itself.

The demands of the Tenants United for Fairness (TUFF) is a manifestation

The voices of these people might not always be right, but they must be

It is my thought that the best interests of all the city could be served by
a general public review of AHA policies and procedures and revision of

I do not intend to imply that AHA is right or wrong in any way so far as
charges of TUFF are concerned. But I do feel that AHA, through its owh

Attached is the AHA letter for the Mayor's

Please read over the paragraph on the
second page which I have clipped. I have
circled the word on Dan's draft which I
wasn't sure of - I believe it is "Commissioners".
You might be able to tell if this is the right
word or not. I'm not sure!
Also, do we need to send copies to anyone?
Dan didn't indicate whether we should or
not. If we do, I'll need to ma_k e Xerox
copies before it is mailed.

December 3rd, 1968
Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
Mayor, City of Atlanta
City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Mayor Allen:
Tenants United For Fairness (TUFF) is an organization
dedicated to obtaining fair treatment for the residents
of public housing in Atlanta.
Its members include public
housing tenants, other members of the low-income community
who have been or may be in the future tenants in public
housing, and other individuals who are sympathetic to the
goals of the organization.
As you will recall, TUFF selected the November 8th meeting
of the National Association of Housing and Redevelopment
Officials (NARRO) at the Marriott Motel to bring to the
attention of the public the d e plorable conditions of life
in the AHA projects. When a group of TUFF members appeared
before you at that meeting to seek your assistance in their
dealings with the Atlanta Housing Authority, you generously
offered your help and sympathy.
The purpose of this letter is to respond to your offer, and
to ask you to meet with us and to use the power and prestige
of your office to bring about a resolution of our conflicts
with the Atlanta Housing Authority .
As you know, our individual grievances are numerous, and~
to us, deeply distressing. They involve hundreds of
incidents including the AHA's arbitrary decisions to dig up
all of the gardens at Capitol Homes; they involve the fines
and rule s imposed by the housing authority in a manner that
seems to us unfair; and they involve a general atmosphere
of bullying and intimidation.
�Honorable Ivan Allen
December 3, 1968
--Page 2
We would not, however, seek to burden you with our individual
problems. We turn to you because the entire system of public
housing in Atlanta is operated in an arbitrary manner, without
any concern whatsoever for the rights, desires or legitimate
aspirations of the tenants. We turn to you for assistance in
making basic structural changes in the operation of the Atlanta
Housing Authority.
In brief, we would like to discuss the necessity for tenant
participation in the management of public housing, and the
necessity for a tenant review board or hearing panel empowered
to hear all tenant complaints and to review all decisions of
the local housing managers.
We are not alone in realizing the necessity for greater tenant
involvement in the operation of public housing, nor in recognition of the necessity for housing authorities to realize
that public housing residents have rights that must be protected.
As one example of the nationwide concern with these questions,
we have attached to this letter a copy of the questions posed
by NARRO to its November 8 Workshop, asking:
1.
How are The H..~A Social Goals Being Implemented in
Public Housing? and;
2.
What Does Tenant Participation Mean?
Many of the questions asked by NARRO point directly to the
abusive practices we seek to change. We have also attached
a copy of the proposed Bill of Rights For Public Housing
Tenants. This Bill of Rights was drafted by and has been
presented by The Housing Law Center of the Earl Warren Institute
to HUD for adoption. We believe that Atlanta can and should
l ead the nation by being the first city to adopt it as a guideline
for the AHA.
In light of the foreg oing, we the undersigned tenants of public
housing and members of TUFF request that you meet with our
representatives to discuss ou r problems. We also request that
you assist us by arranging for ou r representatives to meet with
representatives of the AHA so that our grievances and our
requests may be presented to them.
�Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr.
December 3rd, 1968

we sincerely believe that many of our differences with
the Atlanta Housing Authority can be resolved through
frank and sincere negotiations. We seek the opportunity
for such negotiations at the earliest possible date, and
implore you to assist us in our endeavors.

you assist us by arranging for our representatives to meet with
representatives of the AHA so that our grievances and our
requests may be presented to them.
Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. December 3rd, 1968 --Page 3

We sincerely believe that many of our differences with
the Atlanta Housing Authority can be resolved through
frank and sincere negotiations. We seek the opportunity
for such negotiations at the earliest possible date, and
implore you to assist us in our endeavors.

Sincerely,
