Invitational notice, list of those invited, with attendance of members and guests indicated, and other related documents are attached to the file copy only of these minutes. The primary purpose of the mee ting was to consider a proposal made by William L. Moore for rezoning of a tract of land in Land Lot 30, 14 th Distric t (FF) (annexed to t he Cit y of Atlanta, December 1, 1968) for 700 units of cooperative Townhouses and 200 units of rental apartments, all to be financed under FHA Section 221 d(3). Chairman Alexander called the meeting to order and announced that before he took up the main item on the Agenda (consideration of a particular zoning proposal), he wished to discuss briefly some other matters. He then read a proposed letter to be sent to Representative Julian Bond (copy attached to the file copy of these minutes) supporting in principle Bond's Bill on the suspension of rent (through payment into an escrow account) on dwell i ngs certified by the Building Department as unfit f or human habitation. Seven (7) exceptions (changes) however were suggested as result of a poll of the entire membership of the HRC, the wesults of whic h were 26-for, 3-f or with reservations and 2-against. T h e Cha irma n then referred t o a requirement f or the HRC to submit by March 15 i ts pla n for the 1969 Summer Program in cert~in c e ntral core areas of the Ci ty. In t his connection , the Chairman emphasized the need f or: 1. An overall rezoning of the City to provide for the City 's future development needs , to include a dequate areas for low and medium income housing ; and 2. Establishment of some emergency housing to prov ide liv i ng accomod ations for special cases which repeatedly occur. The Chairman recognized Roger F . Rupnow, Assistant Professor of City Planning at Georgia Tech , who explained briefly a project which a group of his students proposed to undert~ke during the Spring quarter commencing about Aprill on s study preparing a plan for future development for the Southwest area of Atlanta. The plan is to be submitted to the City as a recommendation for consideration by the City in developing a plan for this area. �I 2 The students' group proposes to work closely with the residents of this area and with the City of Atlanta as to their wishes on existing zoning an~ future development needs, to include low and moderate income housing in the area. ,, Mr. Gladin, City Planning Director, informed the Committee that a group of civic organizations in the area, known as Federation of Southwest Clubs has requested preparation of a plan for the future development o f the Gouthwest area and had essentially as k ed the Zoning Committee for a moritorium on zoning changes in the area until such a pl an could be developed. Mr . Gladin further stated that this is impractical and cannot be done; that the Land Use Pl~n for the City, adopted by the Board of Aldermen about a year ago, is intenCed to f orm a ba sis for more detailed studies which are contemplated, but not yet developed. / The Chairman said that he felt the HRC should cooperate with the citizens of the area f or development of such a plan. That development of such plan should definitely provide for a reasonable amount of low and medium income housing in the general area and that a time limit should be established for development o f such a plan . ,· / A motion was then made by Mr . Archer Smith, and seconded by Mr. Bob Winn that the HRC go on record as being in full support of the following Resolution: " IBE XT RESOLVED, that the need for low-income housing b e given foremost consideration by the Fede ra tion of Southwest Clubs in its deliberations and studies as to the best use of zoning of the Southwest Atlanta land and further that a timeta ble b e established f or the compl etion of the plan . Further that the HRC offers its full as sist ance to the Federation of Southwest Clubs in preparati on o f its plan ." After brief discussion, the Res o lution was ad opted withou t any dissenting voteGo The Ch3irman then introduced Mr . w. L. Moore , Developer, and Mr. Nicholas Berryman, Promote~ to present their proposal . These C3 Ct~Gn~ n together presented a proposal for rezoning a large tract of land on both sides of Kimberly Road, S.W. - LL 30, 14th District (FF) - which w2s annexed to the City last. f'n rr:,~o r ~ ·· The proposed development (copy of plat attached to file copy) consisted of 700 units of sales housing for which 90% of the units in any phase of the development must be pre-sold from pre-built samples before FHA commitment is approved for that phase; also 200 units of rental apartments; all 900 units under FHA 221 d(3); furthermore, development of 40-50 single-family houses on an adjacent tract to the north, which would not require rezoning. �3 A school site of 9t acres on the south side of the project has already been negotiated with t he School Board for construction of an elementary school to serve t he project and adjoining area. It was also pointed out that the School Board has plans for a high school just north of the project. It was also explained that the plan provides for only two ent r ances and exits off Kimberly Road to the Townhouse portion of the development, with no through traffic, but all on interior streets and that the complete development would be accomplished over a five-year period. It was pointed out t hat the prop osed development has been f avorably recommended b y t he At l ant a - Fulton County Joint Planning Board. Mr. Gl adin stated that the proposed l ocation apparently has or will have adequate communi ty facilities. The Chairman p ointed out that c urrently the HRC is seek ing new direction as to i ts future ro le a nd mission a n d that if the HRC should forma l l y endorse t h is pro ject now, whicb is in the s~me ge nera l a rea o f a some wha t s imi l ar prop osal which ~o a aloe ~t r o ngl y opposed by citizens of the area a nd de n ied by the Board of Al dermen a b out 3 weeks ago, that this might b e prema ture and which probably wou ld b e cons i dered as i n opposition t o o r in conflict with recent propos als for pre parat i on o f a pla n for development of the entire Southwest area a nd the r e fore might d o more harm t han good i n obta ining approval of propose d rezoning. The Chairman also point e d out that due to a previous commitment wh ic h ha, a s Vi ce-Cha i r ma n o f A. R. M. P.c., h nd made to the Federa t i o n of Sou thwest Clubs to s upport their r equ est fo r prepara tion o f an ove r a l l pla n f or t he are a , he f e l t that he should divorc e himself fr om t he iss ue a nd t ur ne d the meet ing over to Mr . ArcheT Smith , a member of t he Execut ive Commi t tee . Mr . Smith ruled tha t since o nl y 4 ou t o f 9 members o f the Execu t ive Committee were actually present, ( a fif t h ha d attended the meeting earlie r , but had left ), that a quo rum did no t exist and that therefore action coald not be ta ken either for or agains t the proposal . In response to q ueries from several members o f t he Committee as to certain neGded chanees in organization and new direction for future ac tion and emphasis by the Committee , the Chairman ~dvised that such is being considered but as yet he was not in position to do anything definite in this respect; that the Committee now has in the pipeline sufficient units to meet the r-mc 2-year goa l of 9 , 800 units and the 5-year goal of 16 , 800 units, except for Public Housing ; that it appears, for the t ime being, this is perhaps the only field in wh ich the Committee should work aggressively. Motion was made , seconded and after some discussion w~s adopted that the HRC invite the Mayor to meet with the Committee �4 / in a Special Meeting in the near future to discuss the current basic purp o se and future direction of the Committee . Mr . Watkins anno unced to the Committee that under FHA 221 d ( 3) or 236 that 20% · of the units in any development may c ome under Rent Supplement , thus pro viding for some variati o n in economic status of the occupants . Mr . Archer Smith made a motion which was seconded and carried that T . U. F . F . and representatives of the Housing Authority be invited to appear before the HRC to discuss their views , policies and concerns . In view of the fact that the ,dRC Exec u tive Committee did not have a quorum available for official transaction of business, no action was ta ken on the Resolution.

Mr. Gladin stated that the proposed location apparently has or will have adequate community facilities, The Chairman pointed out that currently the HRC is seeking new direction as to its future role and mission and that if the HRC should formally endorse this project now, which is in the same general area of a somewhat similar proposal which was alse strongly opposed by citizens of the area and denied by the Board of Aldermen about 3 weeks ago, that this might be premature and which probably would be considered as in opposition to or in conflict with recent proposals for preparation of a plan for development of the entire Southwest area and therefore might do more harm than good in obtaining approval of proposed rezoning. The Chairman also pointed out that due to a previous commit- ment which he, as Vice-Chairman of A.R.M.P.C., had made to the Federation of Southwest Clubs to support their request for preparation of an overall plan for the area, he felt that he should divorce himself from the issue and turned the meeting over to Mr. Archer Smith, a member cf the Executive Committee. Mr. Smith ruled that since only 4 out of 9 members of the Executive Committee were actually present, (a fifth had attended the meeting earlier, but had left), that a quorum did not exist and that therefore action could not be taken cither for or against the proposal, In response to queries from several members of the Committee as to certain needed changes in organization and new direction for future action and emphasis by the Committee, the Chairman advised that such is being considered but as yet he was not in position to do anything definite in this respect; that the Committee now has in the pipeline sufficient units to meet the HRC 2-year goal of 9,200 units and the 5-year goal of 16,800 units, except for Public Housing; that it appears, for the time being, this is perhaps the only field in which the Committee should work aggres- Sively.

Smith's Memorandum of March 14, 1969, to Mr. Wofford pertaining to first batch ofvweflylists from the Housing Authority of families certified for Public Housing, the following is offered: Hasty perusal of the 45 certifications indicates that only 11 locations listed appear to actually justify Housing Code notices (4 of these already had Housing Code notices, and notices were prepared on 4 others as result of these inspections); a few may have been justified because of overcrowding. The remaining 34 certifications because of sub-standard housing conditions or overcrowding include: Public Housing unit in Perry Homes outside of the City Limits i given which could not be found Remainder apparently unjustified (in opinion of Housing Code Inspectors) Attention is invited to paragraph 4 of my Memorandum to you of February 26 (copy attached) in which I pointed out the fallacy of the Housing Authority accepting the tenants’ word for sub<standard conditions of housing as a basis for application for Public Housing. This practice is clearly confirmed in communication of February 28, 1969, from the Chief Tenant Selection Officer to Mr. Smith (copy of which is enclosed), This is obviously the principal reason for the abuse indicated in Mr. Smith's Summ@ry Memorandum to Mr. Wofford. Unless this is corrected, no amount of effort on the part of the City can ever prodiice enough Public Housing in Atlanta. The attached material appears to be positive evidence of why the current procedure should be changed, as proposed by Building Department Officials, that a prospective applicant for Public Housing Mr. R. Earl Landers March 21, 1969 Page 2 because of inadequate housing conditions should first request and obtain a certificate from the Housing Code Division that the unit occupied is sub-standard or overcrowded to the extent that relocation is justified; and that such certification be presented to Housing Authority Tenant Selection Officials before certification for Public Housing is considered. I recommend that the Housing Authority be requested to adopt such procedure immediately. One other detail brought out during my discussion with Housing Authority Officials was that in reporting certification for Public Housing to the Building Department, an estimated date for move would be included (although it was mutually admitted that such dates would be tentative}. This does not appear to have been done in these instances. It should be included in future reports. Sincerely, Malcolm D.

Notes Malcolm Do Jo s Housing Coor 'inator I_ . I �HOUSING RESOURCES COMM ITTEE Jano 15, 1969 NOTES A. 13 p764 units proposed did not materialize, of which 13,260 were included in the previous report of Nov. 15 , 1968, a nd 504 additional units are listed in this report, as Losto (The majority, but not all, of these losses was due t o disappr ov als of sites and proposed rezoningo) a. Proposed locations for low-income housing are coordinated through the Plano Depto for adequacy of Community · Facilit ies , existing or proposed. Proposals are also reviewed periodically with the School Department for adequacy o f school fa c il ities. ,~. Th e Tr avelers Insurance Company has financed 75 new single fa mily low-cost houses in the Thomasville Urban Renewal proj ect ar e a under the FHA 221 d(2) insured mortgage _programo Equitable has made $1,000,000 available t o Atlanta Mortgage Br ok erage Coo for financing low-cost homes at favorable rateso Interest is still increasing in d evelopme nt of home-owners h ip housingo D. In view of difficulties encountered in zoning and getting other approvals on sites proposed f or large multi-family d e v elopments , it is apparent that the Low-income Housing Program will have to lean heavily on Developers and Builder s provid ing a subs tantial portion of the requirement on small scattered sites by both Conventional and Federal assisted financi n g. Also Publ i c Housing in small projects, to include small developments on scattered sites is strongly advocated, f or future development. E.

Summary of Public Housing in Atlanta Prelast AI ws 2 Notes Malcolm D. Ja Housing Coor caathe AS Be F. bs HOUSING RESOURCES COMMITTEE Jan, 15, 1969 NOTES 13,764 units proposed did not materialize, of which 13,260 were included in the previous report of Nov. 15, 1968, and 504 additional units are listed in this report, as Lost. (The majority, but not all, of these losses was due to disapprovals of sites and proposed rezoning.) Proposed locations for low-income housing are coordinated through the Plan. Dept. for adequacy of Community Facilities, existing or proposed. Proposals are also reviewed periodically with the School Department for adequacy of school facilities, The Travelers Insurance Company has financed 75 new single family low-cost houses in the Thomasville Urban Renewal project area under the FHA 221 d(2) insured mortgage program. Equitable has made $1,000,000 available to Atlanta Mortgage Brokerage Co. for financing low-cost homes at favorable rates. Interest is still increasing in development of home-owner- ship housing. In view of difficulties encountered in zoning and getting other approvals on sites proposed for large multi-family develop- ments, it is apparent that the Low-income Housing Program will have to lean heavily on Developers and Builders providing a substantial portion of the requirement on small scattered sites by both Conventional and Federal assisted financing. Also Public Housing in small projects, to include smail developments on scattered sites is strongly advocated, for future development, No proposal had yet been made for construction of units (even efficiency or 1 bedroom) to rent or sell for as low as $50 per month, although the London Towne Houses, a 221 d(3) co-op development now under construction, is approaching this, with its one bedroom unit selling at $69 per month. The City's greatest need is in the $30-%50 per month rental- purchase range, which appears to have little chance of accomplishment, with substantial governmental subsidy. Prefab distributors and conventional builders have interesting potential houses to offer but, because of fear of local Codes, difficulties are currently erecting very few single-family houses in Atlanta to sell in the $10,000-$15,000 range for which there is a strong demand and market. Perhaps the greatest difficulty is availability of suitably priced land within the City Limits. Economics for this price-range sales housing requires land which will not cost the developer more than $1,500 ° per unit, (A 5,000 sq. ft. lot is considered ample for this type house; most houses in thisprice range are currently being ~ erected in Atlanta on R-5 lots having a minimum size of 7,500 sq. ft.} Imperial Homes of Griffin, Ga., manufacturers of pre-cut sectionalized frame houses, has deveioped a 24'x36', 3 bedroom & bath house designed to sell, to the occupant for $8,000 to go on’ his land; and is developing a 4 bedroom & bath house to sell similarly for about $9,000, National Homes of Lafayatte, Ind, is erecting 200 units of pre-built, 4 bedroom, bath and % units in Chicago and is doing the site planning and landscaping. This firm was recently successful bidder, through design competition, for construction of 600 medium and low-income housing units on the Honor Farm #1 site.

I m inclined to gr e with the Building_ Department in this respect, but have requeated the Building Depar·t ment in making its :requests to th~ Housing Au bority for r ·e location to be as specific as pr ctical . In general, relocation consists of two categories , i . e ., f milies living in Urban Ren al proj ects and those living outside of Urban Ree al projects . The Housing Authority is authorized to provide fin ncial relocation ssistance to f milies residin in Urban Rene al areas . These families also get number one pr iority for Public Housing . The Housing Authority claims that this presents no major proble, but that the principal delaying factor in reloc ation of fa iliea residing outside of Urb n Rene al projects is finanoial in btlity of tbe families to provide funds for drayaga , utility eter deposits and first month ' rent . Tbes families g t second priority for PubliQ Housing, if requir d to move because of Housing Code En1orcement nd third priority , if moving of tbeir own volition .

B. Satteffield, Gilbert Boggs and Howard Grigsby of the Housing Authority and on February 25 with Bill Wofford and Jim Smith of the Building Department to insure appropriate coordination pertaining to the attached Memorandum. As a result of these discussions, the Housing Authority has agreed to report to the Building Department (Housing Code Division) on a weekly basis, the names and addresses of families and individuals which they have “certified” to move into Public Housing, because of substandard housing conditions. This report is to also include an appropriate date of anticipated move. Upon receipt of this report, the Building Department proposes to inspect the locations involved within two working days after receiving the reports and to initiate appropriate action where necessary for compliance with the Housing Code. (The only fallacy that I can see with respect to this arrange- ment is that currently the Housing Authority takes the prospective tenants’ word that they are living in substandard housing and apparently makes no verification of this. In discussing this point with the Building Department, it appears that before certifing a family to move into Public Housing, because of living in sub- standard housing, the family involved should first request and obtain a certificate from the Housing Code Division that the unt is substandard and then present such certificate to the Housing Authority.) The Building Department has been submitting requests to the Housing Authority from the Housing Code Division and the Codes Compliance Office (as result of Court action) separately for re location of families. The Housing Authority has heretofore re~ ported back to the Building Department on a monthly basis those families which they have relocated, a | Mr. R. Earl Landers February 26, 1969 Page 2 (The Building Department has now decided to consolidate its reports, through the Housing Code Division only, to the Housing Authority, and the Housing Authority has agreed to report relocations back to the Housing Code Division on a weekly basis.) The Housing Authority has requested, and the Building Department has agreed, that requests for relocation be more specific than they have been in the past in order to provide better understanding as to why relocation is necessary and determination as to when it should be accomplished, : Mr. Satterfield suggested that he did not think that the Housing Authority should approach a family to provide relocation assistance until the property and the need therefor, had been adjudicated by the Courts; that otherwise the Housing Authority might create antagonism on the part of the Landlord, or disturbance of the tenants, er both and therefore be criticized as acting unconstitutionally. I pointed out that this would be entirely too slow and would not accomplish the desired results and that such delay is unacceptable, It also developed that on the initial visit by a Housing Authority Relocation Worker to a family, that attempt is made then and there to arrange for relocation (normally this is unsuccessful). Mr. Persells suggested that perhaps the first visit to the property by the Housing Authority Relocation Worker should be purely exploratory to find out what the Gircumstances are, with view to subsequently making staff determination as to appropriate action which should be taken. I heartidly agree, However, it was then brought out by the Housing Authority that this type of visit is more in the nature of social work and that the Housing Authority has no Social Workers; only Relocation Workers. It seems to me that the solution is obvious. The Relocation Workers should determine the social aspects, as part of their relocation assignment, before the tenanés or the landlords are notified that relocation is mandatory. If the initial visit was done quitly and on an exploratory basis, much anxiety and disturbances on the part of the tenant; and annoyance and hostility on the part of the landlord would be considerably reduced and in most instances could conceiveable be eliminated all together. The Housing Authority feels that in many btances the requests from the Building Department for relocation are everly simplified in that the names and niimbers of people are usually not provided and, if relocation is being requested in order to reduce overcrowding, eee te r8quired to move and ones permitted to remain are not Spec ° Mr. R. Earl Landers February 26, 1969 Page 3 The Building Department feels that these details are functions which could and should be determined by the Relocation Workers, as part of their relocation assignments, using the Housing Code as a guide and should not be expected of the Housing Code Inspectors. I am inclined to agree with the Building Department in this respect, but have requested the Building Department in making its requests to the Housing Authority for relocation to be as specific as practical. In general, relocation consists of two categories, i.e., families living in Urban Renewal projects and those living outside of Urban Renewal projects. The Housing Authority is authorized to provide financial relocation assistance to families residing in Urban Renewal areas, These families also get number one priority for Public Housing. The Housing Authority claims that this presents no major problem, but that the principal delaying factor in relocation of families residing outside of Urban Renewal projects is financial inability of the families to provide funds for drayage, utility meter deposits and first month's rent. These families get second priority for Public Housing, if required to move because of Housing Code Enforcement and third priority, if moving of their own volition. However, the Housing Authority has no funds for providing the iniiial financial assistance required for the last two categories and consequently, frequently, weeks and sometimes even months elaspe before the families involved are able to accumulate enough cash with which to meet these initial relocation expenses. As a result, the Housing Authority has proposed that it be permitted to use, as an experiment, $2,000 from relocation funds allocated to it from the City of Atlanta, as a revolving fund and from which the Housing Authority would, on its own determinationy make no interest rate loans of from $10 to $100 to such families, to be repaid to the Housing Authority on a weekly basis over a period of time not to exceed one year. Since it has been pointed out by the Administative Assistant that the City of Atlanta appropriated funds cannot be used for this purpose, I have contacted Bob Watkins, Director of the Greater Atlanta Housing Development Corporation, suggesting that his fund make a grant of $2,500 to the Housing Authority for use by the Housing Authority as a revolving fund for the purpose indicated above and that in consideration of such granty#, the Greater Atlanta Housing Development Corporation require the Housing Authority to hake a semi-annual report to it as to the utilization and status of such fund. Bob Watkins thinks that he can get favorable action on this proposal within 10 days, a tei Mr. R. Earl Landers February 26, 1969 Page 4 If this should fail, Dan Sweat has contacted Jim Parham of EQOA who thinks that his organization may be able to assist by permitting the Housing Authority to draw against certain EOA funds for the purpose described above. I am requesting both the Housing Authority and the Building Department to follow up closely on the effectiveness of coordination and cooperation efforts enumerated in this paper and to advise me of any breakdown which occurs or of improvement in procedures which should be established, Sincerely, Maicolm D.

Alexander, Chairman Housing Resources Committee Attached (Encl. 1) is copy of Memo from Eric Hill Associates to Collier Gladin, entitled "Expanded Means To Lower Cost Housing”. Collier has discussed this briefly with Dan Sweat with view to under~- taking an updated and expanded study of the housing portion of the CIP. This would presumably be done by Eric Hill Associates. Dan feels, and so do I, that the initiation of any major up= dating study on housing in Atlanta should be initiated by the Housing Resources Committee, Eric Hill Associates is perhaps the best housing, planning consultant firm I know and there is little contained in the attached proposal with which I disagree. However, it seems somewhat in- appropriate to initiate another major study when we have not yet been able to implement the recommendations of the previous study, although we are fully aware of the major factors which are still holding up implementation of the previous study. The following are some of the more important of these; a. The number one problem of course is getting site approvals. b. Other difficulties which have not been adequately corrected and for which specific recommendations were made formally by the Housing Resources Committee to the Zoning and Planning andsDevelopment Committees of the Board of Aldermen, August 2, 1968, include; 3. “Revision of the Ordinance governing non-conforming use of land to allow structural changes in improving dwelling units to meet requirements of the Housing Code."  ae CREE ee a aa aa ara > = = Mr, Cecil A. Alexander February 24, 1969 Page 3 I was called upon by a City Official for current figures on units Completed, Under Construction and in Planning in the Low-income Housing Program. The best I could offer was to provide figures as of November 15, 1968. I have not been able to compile a more recent report, although, it is known that the figures have changed considerably Since the November 15 report. 5. Attached (Encl. 5) are copies of recant Memos from this office to Mr. Satterfield of the Housing Authority in an effort to obtain some essential data pertaining to Public Housing and to encourage coordination efforts toward insuring rehabilitation of existing substandard units, from which occupants move into Public Housing. In addition, the CIP contained a specific recommendation for establishment of a Housing Resources Bureau. Extract of the proposal is attached (Encl. 6). About 2 years ago, I provided Mr. Sweat with a brief concept, including tentative proposed organizational structure and personnel considered necessary to implement such an activity. If established, that organization should probably function under the guidance and as a facility of the Housing Resources Committee, with a specific Housing Committee of the Board of Aldermen designated to steer and carry the program's activities through the Board of Aldermen to fruition. Realizing the local Administration's desire to reduce rather than add Departments and in order to avoid appearances of empire building, I have thus far refrained from recommending establishment of a Housing Bureau or Department. However, although a good start has been made in housing, I feel that we have barely scratched the surface of the overall housing needs of the City during the next 20 years; and that this problem can best be attacked through an increase in, and elevation of, Housing Resources facilities. Perhaps the time has now come when we should seriously consider expansion of such facilities and follow the recommendations of the CIP by establishing a small Housing Bureau or Department, In summary, the proposal of Eric Hill Associates is in general practical. However, I cannot see any particular advantage of such additional study at this time, unless there is, or will be, ample organization and political structure for implementation of its findings. This does not exist now and should be a prerequisite to initiation of such a major new study. Recommendation (if made) for such organization and political structure should, in my opinion, originate with the Housing Resources Committee. Mr. Cecil A, Alexander February 24, 1969 Page 4 Sincerely, Malcolm D, Jones Housing Coordinator MDJ/me Enclis:1.Expanded Means To Lower Cost Housing 2.Draft dated February 10, 1968 3.Memo dated February 11, 1969 4.Memo dated October 31, 1968 5.Memos dated February 11, 1969 6,Extract from CIP co: Mr. Dan E.

(This being only partially implemented now.) ¢ 6. “Adoption of a revised district zoning map based on the new Land Use map, to include adequate areas for low-income howing." on this matter. The more pertinent of these are: i. The Second Annual Report (FUTURE DIRECTION Section) which spelled out certain recommend- ations for future course of action for the housing program and called for a revised statement of mission from the Mayor for the Committee. Copy of draft proposed (2-10-69) for revised mission is attached (Encl, 2). It contained, among other things, suggestion that a joint study of the housing needs of the City be conducted by the Housing Authority, Planning Department and the Housing Resources Committee. Such study might substitute for, or be absorbed in, the proposed study by Eric Hill Associates, Some suggestions for a more practical approach to solving the low-income housing problems are contained in Memo to Dan Sweat, February 11, 1969, copy attached (Encl. 3), Proposal for specific housing and related activities for the recently approved Urban Observatory are contained in Memo to Mr. Sweat, October 31, 1968, copy attached (Encl. 4). It is doubtful however, that 211 of the proposed activities can be assumed by the Urban Observatory, certainly not initially. The Housing Coordinator has repeatedly pointed out the need for, and requested the services of, a Statistical Clerk to keep up-to-date and periodically reproduce the Low-Income Housing Inventory Report. That important report cannot be kept current, through existing facilitiés.of the Housing Resources Committee office.

Relocation housing meeting these requirements should be available at the time of displacement. Inherently, these matters need to be handled on a case by casa basis. . B b, Monitoring needs for housing assistance program use beyond tne immediate requirements for relocation housing serving families displaced by governmental action. The success of this technical job could be an important poost in economic activity as well as in im- proving the quality of the overall housing stock, Cs Providing assistance to developers and to potential clients in the use of new and expanded housing programs. Requirements for new Federal housing assistance programs cre more complex and the implications of new technology in planning their use are also more complex. A formalized greater degree of coordination behyeen the Planning Department, the Housing Authority, the Regional Office of =, HHA, developers, ard clients will be required if meximum program use is to be realized. Existing . t . e weaknasseas in such coordincted efforts need =“. o b2 examined, rigid and outdated constraints need to be examined, and recommendations directly related to these matters should be presented to the Board of Aldermen. Resultant recommendations should point to alternative actions in achieving ae ° . . ° e coordination monitoring and assistance and improving the potential use of housing pregrams in Atlanta, . ‘ The envisioned total study needs, then, include: 10.

Alexander, Chairman See!" eth au/erds Housing Resources Committee je = = Finch, Alexander, Barnes, Rothschild and Paschal 1Oth Floor Standard Federal Building 44 Broad Street, N.¥W. Atlanta, Georgia 30363 Bear Cecil: It is with regret that I was unable to attend the Second Annual Meeting of the Housing Resources Committee on December 12, 19658. However, I have received and read with interest the Comnittce's report and wish to thank the Housing Resources Committee for a job well done. I note that although our initial replacement goals of low and medium incone housing are in the pipeline, those figures do not take into consideration interim growth of the City, formation of now fanilies and any ine-nigration which may occur. These factors will undoubtedly increase our roquironents in the low-income housing field. Also, it is necessary to follow through after units get in the “pipelins"™ to insure completion when they are mest necded. I note in the "FUTURE DIRECTION" portion of the Comaittce's report that you request consideration by the Mayor and Board of Alderinan ef the proposals nunecrated therein and a revised statement of missien for the Counittce, It is ny undorstanding that copies of the Comnittes's report have been provided all members of the Board of Aldermen and I feel sure will receive synpathetic consideration, With respect to revised nissioa, as we are all sadly aware, in spite of our efforts and acconplishnents to date, in the low-income housing field, there still exist: several sizable slum pockots in the City. Until these can be elininated, through the Neighborhood Developncnt Progran, or otherwise by private enterprise, I want the Comiitice to renain in tact and work agsressively tovard our ultimate goal of providing a decent, safe and sanitary dwelling unit for all of our citizens, To this end I suggest that your Committee concentrate on the followings: 1. Endeavor to get loveincone housing developed near sources of enploynent for the occupants. 2. &Encourase and cocperate in developnont of low and nediun income heusing in unincorporated areas of adjoining Counties, whit. 2  Mr. Cecil A. Porao 2 eur Jvanuary Se 5. G. Alexandor Stive for elimination of slum pockets within tho City, through inclusion of such areas in future annual increnents of the Neighborhood Davolopment Program and or by other means. Assist, where feasible, in rehabilitation of appropriate structures in all areas of the City, especially in the gray arcas.approaching Gecay. Encourage development of medium and hich priced housing within the City. Continue to encourage the development of advanced building methods in the areas of low income housing, Direct your attention to the social problcns involved in low income families and neighborhoods in changing patterns. In addition, I suggest that a joint study of the housing necds of “| the City be conducted by the Atlanta Housing Authority, the City Planning ¥ é . ape Benen and the Housing Resources Comnittee to determine the truco /extent of Atlanta's needs, It is ny understanding that A.R-1H.P.C. is conducting a survey of housing needs in the metropolitan area and it is suggested that you call upon them for assistance, Sincerely, Ivan Allen, Jr. Hayor  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Before Atlanta can proceed with e:-,,.,-panded code enforcement and urban r enewal activities it must increase its lo·,ri n come hous in~ s t ock . In addit ion, an aff irmative relocation program f or Atlanta must include chanees in orJanization, procedures , and policies .appropriate to the findi ngs of Section One of t his report. Section One shows the need for a definite syst~~ of low-to-moderat e income housing planning which will provide replacement housing at t he time of disolacement. It also reveals the need for overall coordination of community development efforts; better record keeping and data use; improved timing of relocat ion counseling services and survey; improved use ofex:isting r elocation resour ces ; and an improved policy of local initiative in providing l ocal assi stance to displacees when such aid is not available through existing progr ams. The f ollowing recommendations have been devised to meet the needs outlined. T'ney are presented in t wo categories: (1) recommendations of an interim nature f or immediate act ion to alleviate the present low-income housine shortar;e, and (2 ) re commendations on orgnnization, procedure , and policies considered necessary for effe ct ive long ranee r elocation and r elocation housing planning. Recma~cndation 3 That a Housing Resources Bureau be established a s a major division within t he pr oposed Community Development Department r ecommended as a part of th e r e organization pl an of the "Government of the Ci t y of Atlanta - A Survey Report" by t he Public Administration Servi ce • );; ;; i: •;: ~:: + • :· . :~ .. . .

Responsibili ty would be broadly bas ed and not narrowly confined to urban renewal obj ect ives. The major activity would be the plannine of housine resources t hrough research for all t ypes of displa cement and relocation needs; therefore, t his new t e chnical division could be called - for lack of a better name - "Housing Resources Bureau". The proposed Housing Resources Bureau shoul d have as its hea d an as s istant to the Community Development Department Director. It should be staffed with capable, inf ormed economic analysts and planner~ with demonstrated knowledge of t he housing i ndustry~ the community, and t he local housing market.

Text Any textual data included in the document INXTRA CT from ATLANTA'S GOMMUNITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM REPORT SECTION TWO: DEVELOPING AN AFFIRMATIVE RLOCATION PROGRAM * * * AN AFFIRMATIVE RELOCATION PROGRAM The factual analysis of relocation housing practices and relocation housing resources as related to those persons and families displaced by governmental action presented thus far results in one unavoidable conclusion: Atlanta does not have the nousing resources to meet the needs of persons to be displaced bv future governmental action. Before Atlanta can proceed with expanded code enforcement and urban renewal activities it must increase its low= income housing stock, In addition, an affirmative relocation program for Atlanta must include changes in organization, procedures, and policies apvropriate to the findings of Section One of this report. Section One shows the need for a definite system of low-to-moderate income housing planning which will provide replacement housing at the time of displacement. It also reveals the need for overall coordination of community development efforts; better récord keeping and data use; improved timing of relocation counseling services and survey; improved use of existing relocation resources; and an improved policy of local initiative in providing local assistance to displacees when such aid is not available through existing programs. The following recommendations have been devised to meet the needs outlined. They are presented in two categories: (1) recommendations of an interim nature for immediate action to alleviate the present low-income housing shortage, and (2) recommendations on organization, procedure, and policies aceaiaeven necessary for effective long range relocation and relocation housing planning. we * * Recommendation 3 That a Housing Resources Bureau be established oe a major division within the proposed Community Vevelopment Department recommended as a part of the reorganization plan of the "Government of the City of Atlanta = A Survey Report” by the Public Administration Service. fy od 4 It is the intent of this recommendation that "Housing Planning" be elevated to a position never before achieved in Atlanta as a highly technical entity with its own staff. Responsibility would be broadly based and not narrowly confined to urban renewal objectives. The major activity would be the planning of housing resources through research for all types of displacement and relocation needs; therefore, this new technical division could be called - for lack of a better name = "Housing Resources Bureau", The proposed Housing Resources Bureau should have as its head an assistant to the Community “evelopment Department Director. It should be staffed with capable, informed economic analysts and planners with demonstrated knowledge of the housing industry, the community, and the local housing market. This new governmental agency would have the following responsibilities: Ae ‘Basearen Maintain a continuous inventory of housing in the City of Atlanta by size of unit, whether for sale or rent, condition of unit, type of unit compared to significant rent/cost ranges, and specific location. In addition, the Housing Resources Bureau would retain sufficient data on the characteristics of the low-income to moderate-income population and their housing locations and needs as necessary for a continual assessment of market potential. Although costly, the retention of such housing and population data would be an extremely valuable planning tool for both public and private interests. Futhermore, this function is seen as the only practical way definitive "client analyses" can be achieved to obtain the best possible housing balance in the area or to plan for maintaining that balance with the criteria attached to the various existing and proposed housing assistance programs. The Housing Resources Bureau would identify the potential of use of housing assistance programs in advance of all governmental community redevelopment projects. Through cooperation with the appropriate agencies the "Bureau" would program and initiate loan, grant, or unit reservations for housing assistance at a time sufficient to assure such houptne FantiPties are "on the ground" at the time people are displaced by governmental projects. B. Public Information Periodically, reports would be issued and distributed to realtors, devel- opers, banks, and concerned public or private agencics. These reports would indicate existing housing imbalances determined by comparing the characteristics of the existing housing stock tothe changing character of area ecomomy and population. C. Technical Assistance The Bureau would be responsible for providing designated city agencies with information on housing and population characteristics necessary to the major report forms required in the administration of their programs with the Federal Government (Workable Program forms, Survey and Planning Applications for urban renewal, public housing nacarvation information, etc.). Such information would be of a designated format confined.to housing and tenant “characteristics and provided at designated intervals. This responsibility would provide important consistency and, hopefully, improve understanding and accuracy of such data. The Housing Resources Bureau would purposefully solicit and encourage assistance and support from area realtors, developers, and the like, by offering special services in defining and describing special housing market needs, and, wnere appropriate, applying information on the potential use of governmental assistance programs for low-to moderate-income housing markets. * % cy a= 7 ee SA ee SR  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

JONES Housing Coordinator MEMORANDUM TO: Mr. Dan Eo Sweat, Jr. Director of Governmental Liaison Action on rezoning petitions recently, such as Sewell Road, Kimberly Road, Brownlee Road and Brownstown Road (still pending) for low-income housing projects has been most discouraging, but is understandable. This has convinced me that we are not going to get needed sites approved in the forseeable future unless we resort to different procedures. Also, I am convinced that it is not good for the City to repeatedly create such extensive hostility in substantial residential neighborhoods by continuing to attempt rezoning of areas for apartments when the cards are clearly stacked to loose. There must be more practical methods that could be employed, I suggest: 1. Utilization of existing slum areas, through NDP, for new developments of low-income housing, particularly Public Housing. This would create little or no opposition from residential neighborhoods, or otherwise, except perhaps the Planners, who consistently oppose legalizing housing in many such areas thru changes in actual or planned zoning. I refer specifically to portions of Lightning, Huff Road, a substantial area off old Marietta Road in the vicinity of Spring Avenue, Plunkettown and others. We must be practical and adjust some previous theortical concepts to meet the e xigencies of the actual situations in which we currently find ourselves. �Mr. Dan E.

[8sy7 CC~@1~~ J A zoning class in the graduate school of the i City Planning Department of Georgia Tech will begin work soon on a short-range plan designed to make zoning recommendations on vacant land in Southwest Atlanta. The recommendations will relate both to the reactions of the people in the neighborhoods concerned. and to city objectives, according to Tech Associate Professor Roger F . Rupnow. Rupnow says he hopes the class can get to work on the project around the first of April when a new quarter begins. The some 15 students, who are in Tech's twoyear City Planning graduate program. will, Rupnow hopes; generate their own program of work once they have been given the boundaries within which they are to work and have some knowledge of the zoning problems of the area. Then. these students will take their plan of work to the exe.cutive committee of the Federation of Southwest Clubs (FSC), explain it, and defend and modify it, if necessary. based on their conversation with the executive commit.tee. The boundaries laid out by FSC (the council made up of representatives o·r civic clubs on the south side, which is seeking both a short-range and long-range land-use plan for the area ) are Gordon Road on the north, Campbellton Road on the south, Donn_~lly Avenue on the east and Fulton Industrial Boulevard on the west. · Rupnow says the students will try to come up with a zoning plan for the entire area and. in arriving at this zoning plan. they hope to relate both the reactions of the people and to the city requirements.
