Summary of S ituation re HUD 's Experimential Housing Pr oject July 15, 1968 April 22 - Mr . H. Ralph Ta ylor, As~istant Se c reta~y of HUD , wrote Mayor Al len explaining the proposed proJect and asked if tlanta wished to participate . The letter stated in part: " These experiments will be carried out only in cities which are willing to cooperate in the development of innovative techniques aimed at generating a h i gher level of housing construction for l ow-income families", and "The Depa rtment will be committing not o nly substantial research funds in this effort, but als o tens of millions of dollars of program funds from several program sources." May 6 - Mayor Allen replied to Secretary Taylor, stating that we definitely want Atlanta included among the cities to be selected for the Experimental Housing project and expressing desire to cooperate fully. ( Atlanta 's application for Model Ci ties stated that Atlanta is prepared to amend applica tion of its codes and ordinances within the Model Cities area as appropriate . ) June 21 - Mayor Allen 's letter of ay 6 acknowledged by Secretary Tayl or, assuring that ev ery possible consideration will be giv en Mayor Alle n ' s recomme nd ation and he would be pleased to advis e when final decision is reached . May 8 - S tudy t e am of ABT-DMJM ( ABT Associates, Inc ., and Da niel, Ma nn , Johnson and Mendenhall) headed by Mr . Allan W. Ca meron, visited Atlanta . Initial conference wa s held with Dan Sweat. Remainder of day, team was escorted ab ou t town by Malc olm Jones who made appointments with key indivials as requested by team and accompanied team representatives on visits . Team was provided a l l materials and records requested. Ma y 24 -2 5 - En larged study team visited Atlanta. Dan Sweat's office made appointments in advance with those requested and his office was made available for use by the team. Malc o lm Jones agai n escorted team members abou t town and arranged for additional interviews and materials requested . May 27 - 28 Malcolm Jones again assisted Mr. James B . Frisby, t eam consultant , in obta i ning additional materials desired. Every possible courtesy was shown the team and complete cooperation given its ~epresentatives by all concerned. The team expressed satisfaction and pleasure re recepti o n and coope:iat ion furnished in Atlanta and ind ica ted that Atlanta would have high priority in its recommendations. June 18 - Mr . Fra nk Shakelford o f Alst on, Miller and Gaines wr ote to Se natois Talmadge and Russell and to Representative Fl etcher Thompson requesting their a~sistance in getting ABT- DMJ M selected as contractor for P hase II and stating that Atlanta is one o f the 15 cities selected . (This reference to Atlanta appears to be prematur e and in error , since the survey report was not due in HUD until June 15) . Al l 3 recipients of Shackelford ' s le tte ~ contacted the Secre tary of the De partment of Housing and Urban Development i n response to Shakelfo rd ' s r e quest. July 2 - Shackel f ord wrote another letter to each o f the above . Members of Congress expressing distress over Atlanta not being included in the 12 cities s e lected and reques ted that HUD be ur ge d to reconsider for selection of 15 ins tead of 12 cities and include At l anta as o ne of t hose to be added. Fletche r Th ompson has written to Secre tary We aver urging such rec o nsidera tion. Action o f Se nators Russell a nd Ta lmadge is not yet known. (Apparently the basis of information on which Mr .

Text Any textual data included in the document Summary of Situation re HUD's Experimential Housing Project July 15, 1968 April 22 - Mr. H. Ralph Taylor, Assistant Secretary of HUD, wrote Mayor Allen explaining the proposed project and asked if Atlanta wished to participate. The letter stated in part: "These experiments will be carried out only in cities which are willing to cooperate in the development of innovative techniques aimed at generating a higher level of housing construction for low-income families", and "The Department will be committing not only substantial research funds in this effort, but also tens of millions of dollars of program funds from several program sources." May 6 - Mayor Allen replied to Secretary Taylor, stating that we definitely want Atlanta included among the cities to be selected for the Experimental Housing project and expressing desire to cooperate fully. (Atlanta's application for Model Cities stated that Atlanta is prepared to amend application of its codes and ordinances within the Model Cities area aS appropriate.) June 21 - Mayor Allen's letter of May 6 acknowledged by Secretary Taylor, assuring that every possible consideration will be given Mayor Allen's recommendation and he would be pleased to advise when final decision is reached. May 8 - Study team of ABT-DMJM (ABT Associates, Inc., and Daniel, Mann, Johnson and Mendenhall) headed by Mr. Allan W. Cameron, visited Atlanta. Initial conference was held with Dan Sweat. Remainder of day, team was escorted about town by Malcolm Jones who made appointments with key indivials as requested by team and accompanied team representatives on visits. Team was provided all materials and records requested. May 24-25 - Enlarged study team visited Atlanta. Dan Sweat's office made appointments in advance with those requested and his office was made available for use by the team. Malcolm Jones again escorted team members about town and arranged for additional interviews and materials requested. May 27-28 - Malcolm Jones again assisted Mr. James B. Frisby, team consultant, in obtaining additional materials desired. Every possible courtesy was shown the team and complete cooperation given its representatives by all concerned. The team expressed satisfaction and pleasure re reception and coopemwtion furnished in Atlanta and indicated that Atlanta would have high priority in its recommendations. June 18 - Mr. Frank Shakelford of Alston, Miller and Gaines wrote to Senators Talmadge and Russell and to Representative Fletcher Thompson requesting their assistance in getting ABT-DMJM selected as contractor for Phase II and stating that Atlanta is one of the 15 cities selected. (This reference to Atlanta appears to be premature and in error, since the survey report was not due in HUD until June 15). All 3 recipients of Shackelford's letter contacted the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development in response to Shakelford's request. July 2 - Shackelford wrote another letter to each of the above. Members of Congress expressing distress over Atlanta not being included in the 12 cities selected and requested that HUD be urged to reconsider for selection of 15 instead of 12 cities and include Atlanta as one of those to be added. Fletcher Thompson has written to Secretary Weaver urging Such reconsideration. Action of Senators Russell and Talmadge is not yet known. (Apparently the basis of information on which Mr. Shakelford wrote letters on July 2 requesting reconsideration by HUD and inclusion of Atlanta in the list of selected cities) was result of telephone call from Mr. Francis Green in Washington, whose law firm was engaged as General Counsel by ABT-DMJM for its survey. Myr. Green accompanied the survey team to Atlanta on its second visit and consulted with Alston, Miller and Gaines at that time. Summary July 15, 1968 Page 2 According to reliable source, certain officials from Washington, D.C., in position to know the inside story, passed through Atlanta July 7 and advised a local person here interested in this project, that Atlanta would probably not be included among the cities to be selected for the Experimental Housing project because HUD was seeking cities in which the building codes are not too restrictive. 2, Malcolm D.

However, sources close to the project say that the ABT-DMIM group was selected first in a competition among 19 firms, Two weeks later, the sources say, Westinghouse and Buildings Systems Development received contracts and the three are in competition now for the second stage of the program.

Sweat, Jr. Director of Governmental Liaison On May 8 and again on May 24 and 25 a team of consultants from ABT A s sociates and Daniel, Mann, Johnson and Mendenhall from Cambridge, Massachusetts, under contract with HUD, conducted a survey of Atlanta, as one of 25 cities, in interest of Experimental Housing, preferably in Model Cities areas, or at least in close proximity to Model Cities areas. Similar surveys were being conducted simultaneously by two other consultant teams, each assigned 25 additional cities, as Phase I of HUD 1 s special E x perimental Housing program. The mission of the team is to report to HUD by June 15, 1968, its recommendations of cities and specific projects in those cities for HUD to invest $60, 000, 000 during a two year period on Experimental Housing projects, to get underway as soon as possible, and in any event by Spring, 1969, at the latest. Phase II (development) of the program is to be carried out by a prime contractor to be selected by HUD. On May 6, Mayor Allen responded to a letter from Mr . Ralph H . Taylor, A s sistant Secretary of HUD, stating that Atlanta is interested in the E x p e rime ntal Housing program; offered to cooperate with it ; and reque ste d that Atlanta be inc2.uded in the list of cities to be selected for this project.

I have a list of most of those with whom they talked and notes on some of the interviews. I feel that the team accomplished as much as could reasonably be expected during such a short period and that its members were generally pleased with what they learned about conditions in Atlanta and progress being made in the low-income housing program here. With respect to Model Cities, Mr. Johnson informed them that no specific site for new housing had yet been selected in the Model Cities area and that he was reluctant to even suggest a site, until such had been cleared with the Model Cities Executive Board. In response to queries from the team as to when this could be done, Mr. Johnson further e x plained that if policy determination is made at top City level, he thbught he could present the matter to his E xe cutive Board and obtain its approval within a couple of days or so . M r . Johnson w a s d efinite that such site should rtot b e ae uh• d and d e v e lope d thr ou h th - Hous 'ng Author ity und r no rmal Ur ban Ren wal processes ; that to do so would require so m u c h time and be inv olved so much in F ederal red tape, he thought the entire idea might as well be abandoned. D u ring discussion with Mr. Gladin, Mr. Gladin told the c onsultant s that a ny site to b e s e l ected for accelerated advance acquisition would have to be in the Cooper -Glenn area, as that area is slated to be the first Urban R enewal project in the Model Cities area. I personally disagree with the theory that the first experimental housin g proj ect in Model Cities should be in the Coope r - Glenn area. I feel that a more centr a lly lo cated and prominently situated s ite could and should be selected and obtained through some form of advance acquisition ; and that this would give a greater boost to Model Cities and benefit the C ity as a whole more than selection of a site in the Cooper-Glenn area for this purpose. �Mr. Sweat Page Three June 7, 1968 Since Model Cities is to be developed under direct superv1s10n of the Mayor and the City of Atlanta and not as a super Urban Renewal area; and due to the interest and pressure which HUD is now directing to experimental housing, I am of the opinion that authority could be obtained from HUD for early acquisition of almost any reasonable site which the City might designate in the Model Cities area. I feel that (1) approximately a four block area (about 10 acres) centered on the intersection of Connally Place and Crumley Street, S. E. or (2 ) a similar size area centered on the intersection of Reed and Love Streets, S. E. , would provide a suitable location for early acquisition for experimental housing and would cause a minimum of displacement (which will eventually have to be done any way ). This is not likely to be done , however, without specific guidance and direction from the 1\/rayor's Office. Both of the locations indicated above have been shown to and discussed with Jim Wright of the Model Cities staff and their location marked on a map turned over to him. In this connection I call your attention to marked portions {page 3 and 4 ) of the attached copy of Minutes of the Housing Resources Executive Committee meeting of May 2, 1968. I recomme nd that the Model Cities staff be direct e d to c ause s e l e ction soon of a site for housing (preferably experimental) and that formal request be made as soon as possible to HUD to authorize such acquisition, subject to eventual application of such Federal financial assistance as might e ventually apply in the Model Citie s area.

MINUTES HOUSING RESOURCES EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE AND LOW-INCOME HOUSING COORDINATING GROUP MEETING May 2, 1968 The regular montly meeting of the Housing Coordinating Group and Housing Resources Committee Executive Group was held in Corr.mittee Room 2, City Hall, May 2, 1968, at 10:00 a.m. Copies of the invitational notices, agenda, record of those attending and reference documents are attached to the file copy of these minutes. Chairc3 u Cecil n. Alexznder presided. Mr. Alexander opec ?1 the nceting by asking Mr. Archer Smith to give the Committee a report on school construction. Mr. Smith presented the following two proposals: (1) Approach the Sta te Sc hool Building Authority about them leasing school buildings and then sub-leasing them to the City. The State could lease the premises from the developer for 30/40 years and turn then o er to the City of Atlanta on a sub-lease basis. It would take a political decision by the State to re-vamp procedures to allow this. One advantage to this proposal would be that it would apply to all school systems if they so desire. (This was considered perhaps the simplest course of action.) {2) Have a local constitutional amendment passed allowing the City Sc hool Board to enter into leases on a long term basis. This loc a l ~~end~ent would be the more solid way and the local a~endment would be easier to pass. Mr. Alexander asked if the School Board had been approached to see which course of action they would prefer? Mr. Smith stated that they had not, officially, but the School Board would probably go a long with either method. Mr . Jones suggested that the Committee authorize the Legal Panel to contact the School Bo ard and see which they would prefer a nd then pursue that course. A motion was made , seconded a nd adopted that the Legal Panel be so authorized. Mr. John Ch~p~an appe~red before the Committee to discuss a proposal for buildinr. l ow-income housing. He said housing for the lowest inco~e families would pro~ably need to be financed by the Federal govern~ent; that housing for medium income families could be financed through private corporations. He was suggesting dwelling units with rent ra nge~of $70-$80-$90 for 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms respectively. He proposed forming a limited profit corporation, the mer.!bers of which would eac h put up a certain amount of front money, with the intent of building developments which would produce 4-5% profit, instead of the customery 1415% profit. He proposed using private conventional financing �2 entirely, with no connection with Federal assisted programs. He adv~sed he would try to contact several private corporations about putting up money a t a reasonable rate of interest and that if he got enough response from private corporations that this could be done, he would inform the Committee of the reaction he received from this idea. Mr. Alexander con mented on and referred to an article by Vincent T. Burke, in the Los n ngeles Times, March 18, 1968, relating how certain Negro families in Washington had been assisted by a tiny non-profit "Home Buyers" group in obtaining home ownership witho ut ~ny a ssistance from Federal programs or organi~a tior.s. (Cc r y o f the article is attached to the file copy of the~e ~i nutes.) Mr. Pers e l ls re p0r tec.i t o the Con:::1i ttee on the Honor Farm No. 1 Site proposed con ce pt . He presented a map showing approximately 120 acres bet ween the Federal Penitentiary and the Thomasville Ur b a n Re nc~ a l Project t ha t the Federal government proposes to tur n over t o t~e City f o r urban improvement, including hous ing . He expln i ned tha t the portion of the property to be developed f o r hous il-:g and rela ted cmnmercial could be either turned over directly oy HUD to developers, turned over to the City to put ou for bids, or go to Atlanta Housing Authority for develop~ ent through process of Ur ban Renewal. fl meeting of the Al d erma nic P l2 n ning and Development Committee is to be held to cons id er wh a t should b e done. Mr. Persells also advised that a n ew p~ r k ar e a i s to be develope d and an El e mentary School and a " Middle School" ar e to be constructed in the area. The question wa s a sked a b out how housing could be developed in the shortest le ngth of time. Mr. Persells responded we would b e una ble to st ar t b uilding unt i l a stre et and sewer system was b e g un; t hat i s the biggest d ela y. I t wa s sugge sted that the l a nd could be s old t o a developer a nd h e could put in the stree t system simult aneous wi t h t he h o us i ng d e v e lopme nt. Tw o cho i c es we r e recommend e d : (1) The Ci t y o r d e velopers could g o in a nd p ut in the street and ut i lities at their e xpe ns e o f about $270 ,000. 00 . (2 ) Have streets put in b y the Housin g Autho r ity as an Urban RedevelopEent expense. Mr . Pars ells expl~inod that fro~~fi n a ncial sta nd poi nt and time eleme nt , the il03w f avorable sollution would be to have the Housing Authori . y put i n the street Gnd sewer system at Urban Redevelopment expeLse , b e c a use the schools would have to be built any way, and the City ~ould receiv e credit for the schools which would more than pay for the expense of putting streets and sewers in and that they could be put in while the developers were getting their plans approved by the Federal government. �r 3 Mr. Persells advised that topographical maps and surveys had already been made. He also reported that there was a small triangle of land the Federal government doesn't own; stated there were some title difficulties and the only sure way and quickest way to get clear title to the property would be condemnation proceedings through the Urban Re newal process. The Land to be developed for housing and related commercial is to be offered for sale on May 27, 1968, to developers, with proposals called for. Additional land, 17 single-family lots, is to be added to the Thomasville Urban Renewal Site for sale, with ground breaking between May 20-28. Approximately 50 acres of the 120 acre tract of land would be available for housing. Mr. Archer Smith, made a motion that a formal resolution be drawn up that the Housing Resources Committee goes on record as urging the support of the New-Town-In-Town project concept conditioned upon a substantial portion of the project to be developed for lowest-income housing. If this condition is not met, then the Housing Resour ces Committee goes on record as opposed to the project as presently planned. Motion was seconded and unanimously adopted, with instructions that copies go to the Housing Authority, Mayr Ivan Al len, Jr., Members of the Board of Aldermen and to Mr. Baxter, of HUD . Mr . Howland announced that the CACUR non-profit housing development corporation has now selected five units for rehabilitation under 221 (h) and expected to have them under way within 60 days. Mr . Alexander then a s ked Mr . Jones to explain a proposal he had been working on for accelerated low-income housing development in the Model Cities area. Mr. Jones explained the concept and stated that a development team was very anxious to get a tract of about 10 acres f ..cfr an experimental housing development to stzrrt this summer. He read a letter just received by the Mayor from Mr. H. Ra lph Taylor, Assistant Secretary, HUD, proposing a HUD sponsored experimental · housing project in Model Cities area in selected cities to be carried out by a pri~e contractor to be selected by HUD; and inquiring if P.tla nta desired to cooperate? Mr. Jones eKplained that this tied ind irec tly with the proposal he has been working on; that because of multiple ownerships, it is virtually impossible for private dev elopers to acquire land in the Mode l Cities area for this purpose; that therefore he has studied the area and looked at certain sites, with others~ including a representative of Model Cities, and has selected two tentative sites, having badly dilapidated housing which will in all probability be demolished any way, and has marked these on a map for consideration of the Model Cities staff. �I 4 Mr. Jones proposed "advanced land acquisition" to be requested in the Model Cities area on such a site to be sleeted so they would get started on construction of approximately a 10 acre site as soon as possible. A motion was made, seconded and adopted that the Housing Resources Committee recommends that a su i table site be selected in the Model Cities area f or accelerated development of low-income housing (preferably under the experimental housing concept) and that application be made to HUD for authority to acquire the site under the "advance land acquisition" procedures; that copies be provided the Planning and Development Commmittee, Mayor and Board of Aldermen and HUD. Mr. Persells stated that he concurred and that the Housing Authority would go·in·soon with a request that the entire Model Cities area be placed under a GNRP so that this could be done as part of an Urban Renewa l Project within the Model Cities area. He requested support of the HRC to the Planning and Development Committee, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen and to HUD on that proposal so that the "advance land acquisition" could be legally implemented. The Committee agreed to support the GNRP proposal for this purpose. • Mr. P:lexander informed the Committee of g r ound-breaking on the first Turnke y Housing project in Atlanta on Hollywood Road, N.W. at 2 :00 p.m. on May 9 , 1968. All were invited ; that Mayo r Ivan Allen , Jr., would o ffi c ially break the ground for the 202-ttnit development. Copies o f the announcement , prepared by the . Housing Authori t y were distributed. It was announced that the report fr om the Ad Hoc Committee on Low-inc ome Housing Analysis will not be ready and that it would be discussed at a later da~e. Mr .

Alexander presided. Mr. Alexander oper:3 the meeting by asking Mr. Archer Smith to give the Committee a report on school construction. Mr. Smith presented the following two proposals: (1) Approach the State School Building Authority about them leasing school buildings and then sub-leasing them to the City. The State could lease the premises from the developer for 30/40 years and turn them over to the City of Atlanta on a Sub-lease basis. It would take a political decision by the State to re-vamp procedures to allow this. One advantage to this proposal would be that it would apply to all school systems if they so desire. (This was considered perhaps the simplest course of action.) (2) Have a local constitutional amendment passed allowing the City School Board to enter into leases on a long term basis. This local amendment would be the more solid way and the local amendment would be easier to pass. Mr. Alexander asked if the School Board had been approached to see which course of action they would prefer? Mr. Smith Stated that they had not, officially, but the School Board would probably go along with either method. Mr. Jones suggested that the Committee authorize the Legal Panel to contact the School Board and see which they would prefer and then pursue that course. A&A motion was made, seconded and adopted that the Legal Panel be so authorized. Mr. John Chapman appeared before the Committee to discuss a proposal for building lcw-income housing. He said housing for the lowest income families would probably need to be financed by the Federal government; that housing for medium income families could be financed through private corporations. He was suggesting Gwelling units with rent. range-of $70-$80-$90 for 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms respectively. He proposed forming a limited profit corporation, the members of which would each put up a certain amount of front money, with the intent of building developments Which would produce 4-5% profit, instead of the customery 14- 15% profit. He proposed using private conventional financing 2 entirely, with no connection with Federal assisted programs. He advised he would try to contact several private corporations about putting up money at a reasonable rate of interest and that if he got enough response from private corporations that this could be done, he would inform the Committee of the reaction he received from this idea. Mr. Alexander commented on and referred to an article by Vincent T. Burke, in the Los fngeles Times, March 18, 1968, relating how certain Negro families in Washington had been assisted by a tiny non-profit "Home Buyers" group in obtaining home ownership without any assistance from Federal programs or organizations. (Ccpy of the article is attached to the file copy of these minutes.) : Mr. Persells reported to the Committee on the Honor Farm No. 1 Site proposed concept. He presented a map showing approximately 120 acres between the Federal Penitentiary and the Thomasville Urban Renewal Project that the Federal government proposes to turn over to the City for urban improvement, including housing. He explained that the portion of the property to be developed for housines and related commercial could be either turned over directly by HUD to developers, turned over to the City to put out for bids, or go to Atlanta Housing Authority for development through process of Urban Renewal. 4 meeting of the Aldermanic Planning and Development Committee is to be held to consider what should be done. Mr. Persells also advised that e@ new park area is to be developed and an Elementary School and a "Middle School" are to be constructed in the area, The question was asked about how housing could be developed in the shortest length of time. Mr. Persells responded we would be unable to start building until a street and sewer system was begun; that is the biggest delay. It was suggested that the land could be sold to a developer and he could put in the street system Simultaneous with the housing development. Two choices were recommended: (1) The City or developers could go in and put in the street and utilities at their expense of about $270,000.00. (2) Have streets put in by the Housing Authority as an Urban Redevelopment expense. Mr. Persells explsined that fronaf financial standpoint and time element, the most favorable sollution would be to have the Housing Authority put in the street and sewer system at Urban Redevelopment expeuse, because the schools would have to be built any way, and the City would receive credit for the schools which would more than pay for the expense of putting streets and sewers in and that they could be put in while the developers were getting their plans approved by the Federal government.  3 Mr. Persells advised that topographical maps and surveys had already been made. He also reported that there was a small triangle of land the Federal government doesn't own; stated there were some titie difficulties and the only sure way and quickest way to get clear title to the property would be condemnation proceedings through the Urban Khenewal process. The Land to be developed for housing and related commercial is to be offered for sale on May 27, 1968, to developers, with proposals called for. Additional land, 17 single-family lots, is to be added to the Thomasville Urban Renewal Site for sale, with ground breaking between May 20-28. Approximately 50 acres of the 129 acre tract of land would be available for housing. Mr, Archer Smith, made a motion that a formal resolution be drawn up that the Housing Resources Committee goes on record as urging the support of the New-Town-In-Town project concept conditioned upon a subStantial portion of the project to be developed for lowest-income housing. If this condition is not met, then the Housing Resources Committee goes on record as opposed to the project as presently planned. Motion was seconded and unanimously adopted, with instructions that copies go to the Housing Authority, Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr., Members of the Board of Aldermen and to Mr. Baxter, of HUD. Mr. Howland announced that the CACUR non-profit housing development corporation has now selected five units for re- habilitation under 221 (h) and expected to have them under way Within 60 days. Mr. Alexander then asked Mr. Jones to explain a proposal he had been working on for accelerated low-income housing develop- ment in the Model Cities area. Mr. Jones explained the concept and stated that a development team waS very anxious to get a tract of about 10 acres for an experimental housing development to start this summer. He read a letter just received by the Mayor from Mr. H. Ralph Taylor, Assistant Secretary, HUD, proposing a HUD sponsored experimental ‘housing project in Model Cities area in selected cities to be carried out by a prime contractor to be selected by HUD; and inquiring if Atlanta desired to cooperate? Mr. Jones explained that this tied indirectly with the proposal he has been working on; that because of multiple ownerships, it is virtually impossible for private developers to acquire land in the Model Cities area for this purpose; that therefore he has studied the area and looked at certain sites, with others, including a representative of Model Cities, and has selected two tentative sites, having badly dilapidated housing which will in all probability be demolished any way, and has marked these on a map for consideration of the Model Cities staff.  Mr. Jones proposed "advanced land acquisition" to be requested in the Model Cities area on such a site to be ‘ slected so they would get started on construction of approximately a 10 acre site as soon as possible. A motion was made, seconded and adopted that the Housing Resources Committee recommends that a Suitable site be selected in the Model Cities area for accelerated development of low-income housing (preferably under the experimental housing concept) and that application be made to HUD for authority to acquire the site under the "advance land acquisition" procedures; that copies be provided the Planning and Development Commmittee, Mayor and Board of Aldermen and HUD. Mr. Persells stated that he concurred and that the Housing Authority would gO in’soon with a request that the entire Model Cities area be placed under a GNRP so that this could be done as part of an Urban Renewal Project within the Model Cities area. He requested support of the BRC to the Planning and Development Committee, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen and to HUD on that proposal so that the "advance land acquisition" could be legally implemented. The Committee agreed to support the GNRP proposal for this purpose. Mr. flexander informed the Committee of ground-breaking on the first Turnkey Housing project in ftlanta on Hollywood Road, N.W. at 2:00 p.m. on May 9, 1968. All were invited; that Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr., would officially break the ground for the 202-unit development. Copies of the announcement, prepared by the Housing Authority were distributed. It was announced that the report from the Ad Hoc Committee on Low-income Housing Analysis will not be ready and that it would be discussed at a later date, Mr. flexander announced that a conference will be held May 29th at the Dinkler all day, consisting of debates and discussions on legal aspects, employment, workshops, etc., on equal opportunity in housing. Mr. Alexander explained briefly the progress made on Package Zoning. Question. was asked if a formal resolution has been adopted by the ARC Executive Committee on the proposed Package Zoning Plan, The Committee was advised that such resolution had already been adopted supporting this plan. Mr. flexander also stated it is anticipated that the plan would receive the support of humerous civic and business organizations and radio and television. Mr. Alexander read a Press Release from HUD afliouncing authorization of trailers (mobile homes) for temporary housing in Urban Redevelopment projects. 5 ‘ir. Alexander also commented on the necessity for positive action soon for improvement in the NASH-BANS area, through Urban Renewal or otherwise. The meeting adjourned at 12:00 noon.

Ralph Taylor Assistant Secretary Department of Housing and Urban Development Washington, D. C. 20410 Dear Secretary Taylor: | Your letter of April 22 informing us of the proposed low-cost housing experiment by HUD in perhaps 20 cities having Model Cities grants is most intriguing. We definitely want you to include Atlanta on your list as one of the cities willing to cooperate in the development of innovative techniques, particularly in our extensive Model Cities area, in interest of generating increased levels and | reducing construction costs of dwelling units for low-income families. On May 2 our Housing Resources Committee adopted a Resolution recommending early selection and development for low-income housing, as soon as possible, of approximately a ten acre portion of the worst residential section of our Model Cities area, through ‘advance land acquisition" procedure. We have also been approached by an Engineer, reputable local Contractor and Architect team which is anxious to obtain a site in our Model Cities area for construction of several hundred units of high density (40 units per acre) low-income housing, using a "patent applied for’ concept of precast concrete general purpose angle slabs that can be cast on-site and installed with a minimum of equipment and using primarily untrained local labor. The principal in thie team, Mr. John McNamara, Engineer of Savannah, Georgia, I understand has already contacted a couple of your people in Washington about his concept - Mr. Porter Driscoll, on a ee eh a a eS, Secretary Taylor Page Two May 6, 1968 Director, Architectural Division, FHA in HUD, and Mr. Deman, Assistant Commissioner for Technical Standards in HUD. We hope that you will keep us advised of the progress of this housing experiment and assure you of our desire to participate and willingness to cooperate in this venture.

C. 20410 OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY IN REPLY REFER TO: FOR DEMONSTRATIONS AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS APR 2 2 1968 Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor of Atlanta Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mayor Allen: I want to take this opportunity to inform you of what I believe is a most exciting experiment in building new housing for low- and moderateincome families within the Inner-City. Within the next several weeks, a prime contractor, most likely a joint venture of several firms, will be selected by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Th.is prime contractor will be expected to supervise and manage a variety of low-cost housing experiments in perhaps as many as 20 cities, most of which now have Model Cities grants. These experiments will be carried out only in cities which are wiling to cooperate in the development of innovative techniques aimed at generating a higher level of housing construction for low-income families. The prime contractor will seek out, study and evaluate new design, construction and management techniques and systems, as well as materials and components to be used in the experiments. Based on analysis and after consultation with city o:rficials and such interested private groups as l~bor unions, neighborhood organizations, builders, architects, sponsors and educators, the contractor will determine the kind of housing to be built in a specific neighborhood. The goal of the overall experiment is to obtain more housing value for each dollar spent in the development of good city housing for low-income families, and to identify the obstacles to building such housing. Where such housing is to be built within a designated model neighborhood, the experiment v.i.11 be carried out in the context of the Mod.el Cities planning and program implementation process. In any case, it seems essential that the groups mentioned above be consulted if this bold experiment is to work. Following the selection of the prime contractor, HUD will work with him to select cities which seem to have the capacity and willingness to carry out an experimental project for low-incane housing. The Department will be committing not on1y substantial research :f'unds in this effort, but also tens of millions of dollars of program funds from several program sources. �2 With the f'ull cooperation of' all who become involved in this experiment to better the nation's housing, and to make government more responsive to the most pressing housing needs, I believe that this can be a most significant step toward meeting the goal of' a decent home in a suitable living enviromnent for every American family.

Text Any textual data included in the document Ee Spe Cy" May 15, 1968 Honorable H. Ralph Taylor Assistant Secretary Department of Housing and Urban Development Washington, D. C. 20410 Dear Secretary Taylor: On March 10, 1967, the City of Atlanta submitted its application for a Comprehensive City Demonstration grant under the Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act of 1966. The application was developed by the HUD guidelines for these purposes entitled "Improving the Quality of Urban Life". The total cost of the Atlanta program was estimated for planning purposes at $500, 690. 00. On November 15, 1967, HUD announced the selection of Atlanta along with 65 other cities as initial recipients of Model Neighborhood Program grants. However, Atlanta unlike many of the other 65 cities received less than complete direct Federal funding for this program. Atlanta's program as determined by HUD was to receive $152,000 in direct Model Neighborhood Program grant funds (80/20 monies) with additional Federal monies to be made available through the CRP and 701 programs totalling $127,000. The latter are matched on a 1/3 + 2/3 basis. In addition, monies were also made available to Atlanta through the EDA program totalling $100, 000 but this was completely earmarked for economic planning purposes. On the surface, this was an impressive outlay of Federal funds and appeared satisfactory at the time; even moreso with the overtures made by HUD to the internal operating procedures to be worked out Secretary Taylor Page Two May 15, 1968 by HUD among its allied agencies relative to "cooperation", "Special processing and handling of materials pretaining to this program", etc. We, therefore, accepted this offer of Federal financial assistance in the spirit of innovative planning and financing on the part of HUD and proceeded to make known our intentions of retaining the original size and scope of the local program without alteration. Obviously, such a new Federal program is fraught with difficulties in attempting to make it operational. Staffing arrangements alone at the local level are monumental to say nothing of the work elements to be undertaken. Being that as it may, HUD has since the inception of the program promulgated certain technical memoranda which provide a further detailing of "required" work elements. Meanwhile, our staff has struggled along attempting to work out the necessary applications and obtain the additional Federal monies under this circuitous financial arrangement. 7 On March 15, 1968, the City submitted its 701 Application for Model Neighborhood Program planning purposes + its status at present is still ‘under going review" by HUD. An Amendatory Application for CRP grant funds for Model Neighborhood Program planning purposes is pending submission to HUD. Combined, each has caused the City to spend an undue amount of time and effort in attempting to utilize this qnique method 6# financing the Model Neighborhood Program in Atlanta. , Unbf}tunately, each application has had to be written to conform to the specifications of the reviewing agency of HUD thereby restricting and restraining maximum benefit to the Model Neighborhood Program, Neither of these applications provide us with the total flexibility and wherewithal needed by the City to undertake those work elements of the Model Neighborhood Program required by HUD in a satisfactory, proper and expeditious manner.
