Atlanta, Georgia 30312 Dear Mr. Wright: Reference is made to my Memorandum of October 18 to Mr. J. C. Johnson, Model Cities Director, and my subsequent discussion with you re construction of low-cost single-family houses on scattered lots in the Model Cities area, as a means of getting some tangible housing improvements started in the area as soon as possible. Yesterday,mI talked with a reputable builder who is ready and willing to construct immediately one or more "Imperial Homes", on a trial basis, on the home owner's lot(s) in the Model Cities area, to be financed under Section 235 of the 1968 Housing Act. I understand that limited funds for implementing this program may be available to the local FHA office next week. In any event, application can be made under Section 221 d (2) and transferred to 235. Under the 235 program the owner must occupy a unit of a 1-2 family dwelling and is required to pay 20% of his monthly income to the purchase (maximum mortgage is $15,000). The difference between the 20% income payment and the monthly payment on principal, interest, taxes and insurance (if the purchase had been financed at market interest rates) above a 1-3% interest rate, according to family income, may be subsidized to the mortgagee directly by FHA. If youvand your staff will find owner(s) of scattered lots in the Model Cities area who.would like to have a home(s) constructed on their lot(s) under this program and occupy the home(s), I will be glad to put the builder in touch with them for selection of houses and filing of application with FHA, A subdivision "Die" developed exclusively with these houses may be seen near Jonesboro just off Highway I-75. The builder is also ready and willing to purchase vacant lots in the Model Cities area on which to construct and sell these houses to qualified purchasers, providing the land cost per unit is reasonable.  ‘Mr. James L. Wright, Jr. October 25, 1968 Page 2 Under this program it is doubtful that a builder could afford to pay more than $1,500 per unit for the land on streets which have utilities already installed, Similar financing is available for rehabilitating residential structures to be sold to owner-occupants. It appears that this is the most feasible way of getting much needed residential improvements started right way in appropriate portions of the Model Cities area. Very truly yours, Malcolm D.

Some title or cther of the 300- plus page bill gets in the news almost daily as another industry is touched in some way, and it has been said by those with au- ‘thority that the bill is, without doubt, the most comprehensive housing program in American history. In addition to providing hous- ( ing for low-income families, the bill provides for some _ profit- making opportunities for real estate men. And, as National Real Estate Board President Lyn E. Davis has pointed out, there are a number of sections designed to aid middle-income families across the country by éasing the stringency in the mortgage market. NOT BY LOBBY Davis said last weck that these provisions did not result from lobbying efforts, but “from the realization by senators and representatives that the severe tightening in the mortgage mar- ket in 1966 affected more than those who wanted to buy or sell a house—it had a dampening ef- and passed on to partner-build- ers. Under Title ITI, the act pro- vides for FHA to insure home improvement loans or loans to rental projects that are already financed with FHA mortgages. Loans are limited to 90 per cent of the improvements and to an amount not to exceed the “total mortgage limitation when added to the mortgage balarice. EASIER TERMS While providing a means to improve older areas of the na- tion's cities, this title also will stimulate business in the con- struction and home improve- ment business. Easier terms provide an added incentive to home owners to make improve- “ments. The top amount on home improvement loans has been raised from $3,500 to $5,000.

The corporation will work with private investors in a partnership arrangement. The partnership will subscribe _up to 25 per cent of initial equity investments in the development of low and moderate housing de- velopments. In addition large discounts will be obtained by the corporation through a mass na- tional group purchasing pool the first time. There is no limit as to price on these morigages. All the incentives are too nu- merous to mention but run all the way from government- backed property insurance in high-risk areas to financing aid for college building programs. Lyn Davis summed it up with this statement: ‘‘With the im- provement in market, the innovations created by the 1968 Housing Act, the many other optimistic signs, in- creased availability and accessi- bility of homes for Ameticans is likely to be the most important aspect of housing in 1969.” finance additions to multi-family |, of FHA’s estimate of the value| the mortgage] growth in the economy and the) freee swe 2}  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Text Any textual data included in the document /¥ lye Syyeod October 18, 1968 MEMORANDUM To: Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. The attached document, LPA Letter No. 454, provides ample means for rapid clearance of slum pockets in Atlanta and eens of the sites for so-called Low-cost Public Housing. I consider this document worthy of your attention and careful reading in its entirety. Some of the pertinent portions have been marked for your convenience. I urgently recommend that the procedures authorized in this document be executed during the City’s first year’s application under the Neighbor Development Program. It is the most practical and feasible means of clearing the bad slum pockets and converting those areas to much needed and more profitable use (standard housing). The key to accomplishment however is re-use of the land. To qualify, the designated re-use of the land in several instances may have to be « changed from its current zoning to Residential. It is likely that in the areas involved, there will be little or no public objection or protests to such zoning changes. This will accomplish a three-fold purpose: 1. Clear the City of most of its worst slum pockets. 2. Provide sites for much needed Public Housing, which are | very hard to come by; and 3. Put the land involved to a much more practical and profitable use than has thus far been obtainable under existing zoning, or than is likely to occur in the foreseeable future, under the existing zoning. Many other cities in the South-East are taking advantage of this program and are doing just what is proposed above. In formulating, the City’s first year's application under the Neighbor- hood Development Program, I strongly feel that the following features should be insisted upon by you; and I recommend their inclusion in the program: 1. In addition to Bedford-Pine, Model Cities, and certain specific changes in existing Urban Renewal projects, that Fiseue stews, the worst portions of Lightening, Vine City, EEL: Se ES LP PN a eae ae eee Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. Page Two October 18, 1968 East Atlanta and all of Clarendale be included in the first year's program. The latter has substantial white support in the neighborhood and because of its location is important to the program far beyond its size. 2. In the project application for the portion of Plunkettown within the City limits of Atlanta, and similar portions of other areas, that documentation in the application include provision that if and when Urban Renewal ' project plans for any of the areasare adopted and approved that acquisition may then start promptly in such area(s) (during the first year's program) in hardship cases, 3, That the entire Model Cities area be included in the first year's NDP application, in order that applicable home owners in the entire area may qualify for and benefit from Federal Rehabilitation Assistante in the form of 3% direct Federal Loans and $3,000 Federal Grants. This will not be possible unless the entire Model Cities area (it qualifies) is included in the NDP. 4, That rehabilitation in the Model Cities area be accomplished by the City, rather than by the Housing Authority, utilizing both the City and Housing Authority Inspectors. This is believed to be the most feasible procedure in view of the extent of current trained staffs available and should produce the fastest results. (The Housing Authority was originally given responsibility for rehabilitation in Urban Renewal projects, when the City had only 5 Housing Code Inspectors and the Federal Government would contribute 2/3 of the cost of the Inspectors in Urban Renewal areas, but not in the rest of the city.

C. 20410 April 9, 1968 OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR RENEWAL AND HOUSING ASSISTANCE LOCAL PUBLIC AGENCY LETTER NO. 454 SUBJECT: (SUPERSEDES NO. 281~) Using the Urban Renewal Program to Provide Low Cost Public Housing Sites To encourage housing for low-income families, it is HUD policy to use the urban renewal program to provide sites for low-rent public housing, and to expedite the provision of such housing. (See LPA Letter No. 418 for a discussion of HUD policy pertaining to the designation of urban renewal projects for "priority consideration" if they contribute to the national goal of expanding the housing supply for low and moderate income fmnilies.) C Use of the urban renewal program to provide such sites is particularly advantageous in high-cost housing areas since it absorbs the Vhigh cost of acquisition of built-up land, site cle~rance and relocation. In addition, project property for low-rent public housing is made available at the special prices provided under Section 1O7(b) of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended. In areas with high per-unit costs, where public housing is necessary as a relocation resource to serve other urban renewal projects, the Department will give special consideration to Survey and Planning Applications for se~arate single-purpose public housing site p rojects, or other projects involving substantial amounts of public housing. ! These projects may acquire and clear sites, or acquire housing for rehabilitation by a Local Housing Authority (LEA) for low-rent public housing. Several techniques may be used separately, or in combination, to expedite the carrying out of such projects: ~. Hanclling of such sites or L,ousing as single-purpose urban renewal projects. 2. Acquisition of land under an Early Land Acquisition Loan. 3. Carrying out project execution activities with local funds during the planning stage. .I �.. 2 1. ~ 4. Priority staging of acquisition, site preparation work, and land disposal during the execution stage. 5. Arranging for site preparation work to be carried out by the IJIA. PUBLIC HOUSWG SITES PS SEPARATE URBAN RENEWAL PROJECTS An urban renewa.l pro~ ·c t for the exclusive use of low-rent public housing is particularly useful to meet the relocation housing needs of low-income families in other urban renewal projects. Such a singlepurpose project may be separat.ed in planning from another urban renewal project or may be in a separate location. i While such a project must meet basic urban renewal requirements, it may be planned and carried out much more rapidly, and simply, than . multiple - use projects. Jyoject area selectj.on--Aside from eligibility factors, planning considerations are limited to the suitability and the boundaries of the project area for housing uses. . prban renewal pla.u--The urban renewal plan and the report on planning proposa.ls will be very simple. The l snd use plan vi.11 .be limited to a single use , residential, and the controls and other elements of the plan and report will be correspondingly simplified. ~~nd Di spo~al--Since the real property will be connnitted to a single public use, land utilization and marketability studies and reports, evidence of mortgage fi nancing and certain other documentation will not be pertinent. Since the weal Housing Authority is committed, at an a.greed price, to purche.se the site from the LPA, before Part II of the Lo3ll and Grant Application is approvea., disposition activities related to the public housing project or site will be comparatively minor during the execution phase. They will consist primarily of appraisal and price determinations, in accordance with the provisions of Section 107(b), and preparation of disposition instruments. FinanciA,_~ plan~..rr'he noncash local grant-in~aid credit for the local public housing contribution, under Section 107(b) of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended by the Housing Act of 1964, may provide the loca.l share of net project cost of the urban renewal project. Therefore, no further commitments for financing the local share may be necessary. This does not, of course, preclude the funlishing by the locality of additional noncash grants- in- aid for pooling purposeso ') -- 1 �3 2. . ACQJlISITl ON OF Ll\Jfil UNDER EARLY LOJ-ID ACQUISITION LOAN If early land acquisition activities are pennitted by State or local law, the LPA mey apply for an Early Land Acquisition Loan to finance the acquisition of. land, property management, relocation of site occupants, and demolition and site clearance during the planning stage. When land is to be disposed of for low-rent public housing, a commitment by the LHA, . guaranteed by the Department of Housing E!Jld Urban Development (DJHUD) under an Annual Contribution Contract (Ace), to assume responsibility for any loss to the Federal Government if an urban renewal project is not carried out, will be accepted in lieu qf a commitment by the local governing bogy. Early land acquisition will expedite the completion of site preparation work, and delivery of the site for the public housing project after execution of the loan and grant contract. 3. CARRY nm C our EXECUTION ACTIVITIBS WITH LOCAL FUNDS DURrnG PLAlUUNG If it will contribute to the acceleration of the acquisition, preparation and• disposal of low-rent public housing sites, HUD may issue a "Letter of Consent" a:cthorizing the LPA to undertake these activities ·with locaJ. funds during the planning staee. t/ . A .,Letter of Consent 11 (as used for this and other purposes) is merely a determination that expenditures made by the LPA in carrying out the specified activities will not be excluded f'rom gross project cost solely be'cause they were incurred prior to the effective date of a contract for loan and grant, or the issuance of a project expenditures budget. However, for the costs to be eligible for inclusion in gross project cost, the .activities authorized by the Letter must be carried out in f'ull confonnance with all HUD policies and requirements applicable under an executed contra ct for loan and grD.nto The LPA should consult with the HUD Regional Office concerning the requirements to be met before a "Letter of Consent" mey be issued. 4. PRIORITY STAGING OF PROJECT EXECUTION ACTIVITIES The LPA mey give priority to the acquisition, preparation, and disposal of low-rent public housing sites in multi-purpose projects during the execution stage. While this will not permit as much acceleration as the carrying out of separate single- purpose public housing projects, the construction and colliJ )letion of ne.w public hoµsing frequently can be . carried out whil~ acquisition, relocation, ·rehabilitation, and site clearance ( �4 activ~ties are still underway in other .parts of the project. Frequently, activities can be expedited in both . single-purpose and multi-purpose projects. For example, the HUD Regional Office may authorize the LPA to contract for second land acquisition appraisals prior to the submission of Part I of the loan and grant applications if: 5. ' (1) the boundaries of the low-rent public housing site have been finuly established1 (2) the public housing use is consistent with the urbaii renewal plan being prepared for the project area, and (3) such action is necessary to assure completion of the appraisal vork before execution of the loan and grant contract. SITE CLEARANCE AND PREPARA.TION BY LOCAL HOUSlliG AlJrH0RITY i In some cases, considerable time mey be saved if the LHA carries out site clearance and preparation actiyj_ties. The lJIA may carry out site clearance and preparation activities under a ~ontract or other -written agreement (see Urban Renewal Manual, Section 30-2-1); or land in the low-rent public housing site may be disposed of with existing improvements, and responsibility for site clearance e.nd preparation activities included in the LHA's contract with Housing Assistance Administration. l In any case, the LPA is responsible for carrying out r elocation of site occupants and making r elocation peyments in accordance with the approved Relocation Program using its ovm staff or contracting \Tith the LHA or othe r s_gency.

PUBLIC HOUSING SITES AS SEPARATE URBAN RENEWAL PROJECTS An urban renewal project for the exclusive use of low-rent public housing is particularly useful to meet the relocation housing needs of low-income families in other urban renewal projects. Such a single- purpose project may be separated in planning from another urban renewal project or may be in a separate location. While such a project must meet basic urban renewal requirements, it may be planned and carried out much more rapidly, end simply, than multiple-use projects.

The land use plan will be_ limited to a single use, residential, and the controls and other elements of the plan and report will be correspondingly simplified. Land Disposal--Since the real property will be committed ‘to a single public use, lend utilization and marketability studies and reports, evidence of mortgage financing and certain other documentation will_not be pertinent. Since the Local Housing Authority is committed, at an agreed price, to purchase the site from the LPA, before Part II of the Loan end Grant Application is approved, disposition activities related to the public housing project or site will be: comparatively minor during the execution phase. They will consist primarily of appraisal and price determinations, in accordance with the provisions of Section 107(b), end preparation of disposition instruments. Financing plan--The noncash local grant-in-aid credit for the local public housing contribution, under Section 107(b) of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended by the Housing Act of 1964, may provide the local ' share of net project cost of the urban renewal project. Therefore, no further commitments for financing the local share may be necessary. This does not, of course, preclude the furnishing by the locality of additionel noncash grants-in-aid for pooling purposes. 2. ACQUISTTTON OF LAND UNDER EARLY LAND ACQUISITION LOAN If early land acquisition activities are permitted by State or local law, the LPA may apply for an Early Land Acquisition Loan to finence the acquisition of. land, property management, relocation of site occupants, and demolition and site clearance during the planning stage. When land is to be disposed of for low-rent public housing, @ commitment by the LHA,. guaranteed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (D/HUD) under an Annual Contribution Contract (ACC), to assume responsibility for any loss to the Federal Government if an urban renewal project is not carried out, will be accepted in lieu of @ commitment by the local governing body. Early land acquisition will expedite the completion of site preparation work, and delivery of the site for the public housing project after execution of the loan and grant contract. 3- CARRYING OUT EXECUTION ACTIVITIES WITH LOCAL FUNDS DURING PILANNING If it will contribute to the acceleration of the acquisition, preparation and»disposal of low-rent public housing sites, HUD may issue a "Letter of Consent” acthorizing the LPA to undertake these activities with local funds during the planning stage. - : A "Letter of Consent” (as used for this and other purposes) is merely a determination that expenditures made by the LPA in carrying out the specified activities will not be excluded from gross project cost solely because they were incurred prior to the effective date of a contract for loan and grant, or the issuance of a project expendi- tures budget. However, for the costs to be eligible for inclusion in gross project cost, the activities authorized by the Letter must be carried out in full conformance with all HUD policies and require= ments applicable under an executed contract for loan and grant. The LPA should consult with the HUD Regional Office concerning the reguirements to be met before a "Letter of Consent" may be issued. h. PRIORTTY STAGING OF PROJECT EXECUTION ACTIVITIES The LPA may give priority to the acquisition, preparation, and disposal of low-rent public housing sites in multi-purpose projects during the execution stage. While this will not permit as much acceleration as the carrying out of separate single-purpose public housing projects, the construction and completion of new public housing frequently can be. carried out while acquisition, relocation, rehabilitation, and site clearance activities are still underway in other parts of the project. Frequently, activities can be expedited in both single~purpose and multi-purpose projects. For exemple, the HUD Regional Office may authorize the LPA to contract for second land acquisition appraisals prior to the submission of Part I of the loan and grant applications if: (1) the boundaries of the low-rent public housing site have been firmly established, (2) the public housing use is consistent with the urben renewal plan being prepared for the project area, and > (3) such action is necessary to assure completion of the eppraisal work before execution of the loan and grant contract. 5.' SITE CLEARANCE AND PREPARATION BY LOCAL HOUSING AUTHORITY In some cases, considerable time may be saved if the LHA carries out site clearance and preparation activities. The LHA may carry out site clearance and preparation activities under a contract or other written agreement (see Urban Renewal Manual, Section 30-2-1); or soa land in the low-rent public housing site may be disposed of with existing improvements, and responsibility for site clearance snd preparation activities included in the LHA's contract with Housing Assistance Administration. In any case, the LPA is responsible for carrying out relocation of site occupants and making relocation payments in accordance with the approved Relocation Program using its own staff or contracting with the LHA or other egency. The LPA shall not dispose of improved land in the low-rent public housing site before the buildings have — been vacated. eS es Don Hummel Assistant Secretary 226783-P HUD-Wash., D.

Johnson, Director Model Cities Program 673 Capitol Avenue, S. W. Atlanta, Georgia 30312 Dear Johnny: Yesterday I visited the factory of Imperial Homes (manufacturers of pre-cut and sectionalized framed houses) ranging in price from $8, 000. 00 to $45, 000. 00. I was impressed with the thoroughness, economy of pre-cutting, packaging and quality of materials and workmanship being used in this operation. This firm is just coming up now {not yet on the market) with a 24' x 36', 3 bedroom and bath house with 287 cu. ft. of general storage area which they claim is designed to sell under the Farmers‘ Home Administration program for $8,000.09, to the occupant, to go on his lot. This firm is also developing" a 4 bedroom and bath house which they “hope” to sell under the same program for $9, 099. 00 to the occupant, to go on his lot. Two options are an additional half bath with ceramic tile floor for $410. 00 extra and an outside attached storage area for $/50.00 extra. The President of the firm is Mr. M. .0. Gustafson, and the business address of the plant is 1520 Kalamazoo Avenue, Griffin, Georgia, phone 404-228-8477. Imperial Homes generally selis wholesale te local builders. These houses are packaged and delivered on flat bed trailers (one house per trailer for small houses). Truckage cost to Atlanta is only $36, 00. (This price appears to be symbolic of their entire operations. ) Mr. Johnson Page Two October 18, 1968 Mr. Gustafson claims that there is a reasonable profit in these houses for local builders and that normally a small house can be framed up in a day and trimmed out in another day. The manufacturer states that all of these houses meet both FHA and VA standards and that FHA will insure the mortgages on these houses up to 40 years. Mr. Gustafson has offered to undertake a sales promotional campaign direct to owners of existing vacant lots in Atlanta (where houses have been demolished under the housing code) if he is provided with a list (locations) of vacant residential lots in the central city, together with the names and mailing addresses of the owners. Many of these houses can be adapted 80 as to go end-wise on narrow lots. It has occurred to me that this would be worth exploring for the Model Cities area. I have a catalogue in color of these houses and a set of plans on the $8,000 and $9,990 houses, which I will be glad to show to you and/or other members of your staff. Sincerely, Malcolm D.

MEMORANDUM DATE: 10/3/68 TO: Dr. E. D. Harrison FROM: R. E. Winn SUBJECT: Luncheon Meeting of the Construction and Design Panel, Housing Resources Committee, September 24, 1968, on the Georgia Tech Campus. Those present were Vice Chai:nnan Moreland Smith, Mr. Cecil Alexander , Colonel Malcolm Jones , Mr. He:nnan Rus sell, Mr . Henry Alexander, Mr . Robert C. Watki ns , and Mr. D. P. Elliott. The following guests were also present: Mr. Malcolm Little, Director of City Planning, Georgia _Tech; Mr. Johnny Johnson, Dir ector of Model Cities Program, City of Atlanta; Mr . James Wright, Physical Planning Coordinator, · Mqdel Cities Program, City of Atlanta; and Mr. Wayne Moore , Metropolitan Planning Commission. Reverend John A. Middleton, Mr. James Moore and Dr. E. D. Harrison could not be present. Dr. Harris on was r epres ent ed by Mr . Bob Winn. Mr. Smith presided and called on Colonel Jones to review the status of the Housing Resources Committee and to state Chairman Alexander's recent charge to the Construction and Design Panel. Colonel Jones stated that as of now some 3,000 housing units have been completed and 5,000 are under construction which relate,. to t he Committge ' g ~hargg ! A lax-ge m1mber of uni ts are now i n planning and Col onel Jones f eels some 6,000 of these may r each t he const ructi on stage . Colonel J ones stated they were hoping to analyze the program and future charges to the Housing Resources Committee with Mayor Allen within a few days. Colonel Jones a l s o commented on a joint meeting of the Housing Resourc es Committ ee with t he Board of Alderm~n ' s Planni ng and Development and Building Committees . The bui ld i ng cod es of Atlanta were considered and Mr . Woffor d, Build i ng Officia l, was present . Mr . Wof fo r c felt that th e codes of t he City of Atlanta were sufficient to meet the needs that exist. v The Housing Res ources Committee has suggested that exceptions be made to the codes f or specific needs . Mr . Wofford request ed spec i f ic r ecommendations for changes or exceptions to t he code be made r ather t han charges unsubstantiated by documentation . Accordingly, the Con~truction and Des i gn Panel is now charged with examini ng t he code s i tuat ion , and with working with contractors , devel oper s and others to draft these r ecommendat i ons and remain in communicat i on with a l l c oncerned regar ding t his work. Mr. Cecil Alexander, Chairman of t he Housing Res ources Comm itt ee, stated that he felt the Model Cities Program i s the key s t one of our ef fort s and that he feels a major r eason we ha ve not as yet been chosen by HUD for experimental housing i s because our codes ar e not liber a l enough. He noted t hat a series of studies ha ve been made by the Metropolitan Planning C0;nmission and t hat Mr. Moore ( pres ,~i~t at t his meeting ) is willing to help on t his most t echnical s ubject. Mr . Alexander i el t that all we can do v is to .spot specif i c deficiencies and to make r ecommennRt ions ; t hat we cannot r ewrite t he codes . He suggested the fo::.-1owing: (1 ) a r ev i •·w• of code studies already performed ; ( 2) communications with prefabricated hous i ng manufacturers as t o th e ir experi ences concerning codes; ( 3) communications with HUD concerning t hei r requirements; ( 4) communications with the bu ilding inspectors, plumbing inspectors, electrical inspectors and so f orth. Mr. Johnny Johnson, Director of the_ Mod el Cities Program for t he City of Atl anta, stated that he felt a need to create and i nnovate in housing is E;:JSPl icit in t he Model Cities -Program requirements. He feels t hat a part of the problemmight well be in �-2- Vthe interpretation of the existing codes rather than in the cod~ itself in many cases. He feels that the Model Cities Program should be able to do some things which are different and that they need support for these. They will seek: to receive some freedom through the Mayor's Office, Board of Aldermen and the Building Inspector's Office to innovate with new techniques and new materials. i Mr. Johnson noted that demonstration cities have not yet been named by HUD and that if Atlanta is .1J9.med we must be ready to take advantage of 1this program. His office has engaged 'tric Hill & Company to make a study of the modifications necessary. in the codes of Atlanta to implement Model City Programs. A cqpy of their findings will be provided to the Panel. ' Mr. Jim Wright of the Model Cities Program stated that so far the study by Eric ijill & Company has suggested three criteria for codes: (1) they should be based on performance as much as possible; (2) there should be as few specific restrictions as ppssible, and; (3) an "or equal" clause should be inserted whenever specifics are made a part of the code. He noted that these standards will be necessary to prop·e rly administer the Model Cities Program. Mr. Wright believes that New York City has such a code and possibly the City of Chicago also. Mr. Johnson stated that some 7,000 housing units in the Model Cities area are --,. substandard. Thus, six or seven thousand new units will be needed in the next several years in an area which comprises only 4% of Atlanta's land area· just to relocate these residents. Mr. Moore, of the Metropoli~ an Planning Commission, felt that writing codes is unnecessary and impossible. He stated that there are four model codes and that regardless of claims, the Atlanta code is not the same as national codes. He stated that they vary considerably and that the plumbing code in particular is far from any national code and that most prov isions in it are arbitrary. These differences should be easy to detect and he feels the Plumbing Inspection Department should be required to justify the requirements which vary from National Standards. Mr. Moore suggested that to make a quick step a recommendation should be made to go to one of the model codes because there is no provision in the plumbing code, for example, for ammendment except by action of the Board of Aldermen on each specific point. - -:: ~ ~ 1' ~ tJ Mr. Moore suggested that the Panel try to get the Southern Standard Code accepte~ and noted that the administrative offices for this code provide for profess ional evaluation of new method s. Mr. Malcolm Little stated that the Southern Code is better --t than the National Codes because the latter are not revised often and the Southern Code is. ~ Mr. Alexander commented on the experience .of National Homes in th e Thomasville Urban Renewal Area in seeking wa ivers or exceptions to the code. Basically two houses were to be built as demons tration units. One deficiency was that there were not enough electrical outlets. Another is that plastic waste lines and preassembled copper supply lines and fiberglass tubs and backsplashes were not in accordance with the code ·• . The preassembled copper and plastic lines were fought because "plumbers should not be working in a factory, but outside where it is healthier." He noted, however, that the Building Inspection and Electrical Inspection units have both said that they would send inspectors to a factory at the expense of the manufacturer. The Plumbing Inspection Department so far has not agreed to send inspectors to a factory if the factory is located outside of the City of Atlanta. �-3- Mr. Alexander proposed we consider the slogan "Model Codes for Model Cities." Colonel Jones noted that HUD has started on some experimental construct ion projects on low-cost housing units. One is at Ashburn, Georgia, and one is in Pinellas County, Florida. One deals with low-cost single family units and the other with "golden age" units for the elderly. The following steps were decided to be neces sary by the Panel: 1. 2• 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Coordinate efforts of the Panel with the Model Cities Program. the Southern Building Code idea for implementation in Atlanta. Pursue the National Electr ical Code (Southern Code does not have Electrical Code) for implementation in Atlanta. Contact National Homes and other manufacturers concerning their experiences with codes here and elsewhere. Contact major manufacturer s who would be involved and get their views and enlist their support if possible. Contact Mr. Wof ford and ot her members of t he Building Inspection Department; Keep them inf or med. Try to enlist t hem. Follow up with Mr. Moore concerning the efforts of the Metropolitan Planning Commission in coordination with the Panel. .Pursue Mr. Johns on noted that the Model Cities Program· in Atlanta· is'hoping to build a multi-unit condominium which is des i gned to meet the Sout her n Code Standards as well as other projects in Atlanta by Mar h of 1969,as demonstration units. He noted that i t will be necessary to pr ovi de housing f or any r esidents displaced while construction is going on. ~ . . Mr. Little said that the School of City Planning will be doing a study of mobile t-ype housing which will cons id er the ·attitudes of people toward l i ving in that type of housing. Mr. Smit h a dj ourned the meeting and s t ated t hat he or Dr . Harris on would reconvene the. Panel in the near future . In t he meantime , he will be f oll ow i ng up with various members concer ning t he items discussed today. The meeting was adjour ned. Colonel Malcolm J ones provi ded t his i nformation f or the recor d : I t is h is under standing that a state code has been adopted which applies to manufactured housing of the mobile home type and stated that additional information could be obtained from Mr. John B. ~ \1)l ey, Jr., Executive Vice Pr es i dent, Sout heaster n Mobile Homes I nstitute , Inc., Suite A-1, 348 Ea st Paces Ferry Road,·N. E. , At lanta , Georgia , 30305. His tel ephone number is 261-6166. · Colonel Jones called me on Wednesday , September 25, and stated that a telephone conversation with representa;=ives of National Homes ha s indicated that no code revision .. was necessary , nor any formqfrf waiver, for installation of a number of installations in Chicago's low-income housing program. Mr. Schmidt of National Hornes Acceptance Corporation, in Atlanta, gave t his information . . It originated with Mr. Price, Chairman of the Board of National Homes : Colonel Jones further stated that Mr. Willard Wirth of National Hom.e s in Lafayette, Indiana, is making a study to see what changes would be necessary in the City of Atlanta's codes to make the same units used in Chicago acceptable in Atlanta . · cc: Mr. Moreland Smith Mr. Cecil Alexander Mr. Malcolm Jones v � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Thus, six or seven thousand new units will be needed in the next several years in an area which comprises only 4% of Atlanta's land area just to relocate these residents. _ Mr. Moore, of the Metropolitan Planning Commission, felt that writing codes is unnecessary and impossible. He stated that there are four model codes and that regardless of claims, the Atlanta code is not the same as national codes. He stated that they vary considerably and that the plumbing code in particular is far from any national code and that most provisions in it are arbitrary. These differences should be easy to detect and he feels the Plumbing Inspection Department should be required to justify the requirements which vary from National Standards. Mr. Moore suggested that to make a quick step a recommendation should be made we to go to one of the model codes because there is no provision in the plumbing code, o for example, for ammendment except by action of the Board of Aldermen on each specific > point. o , Mr. Moore suggested that the Panel try to get the Southern Standard Code accepted: and noted that the administrative offices for this code provide for professional evaluation of new methods. Mr. Malcolm Little stated that the Southern Code is better -——»> than the National Codes because the latter are not revised often and the Southern Code is. Mr. Alexander commented on the experience of National Homes in the Thomasville Urban Renewal Area in seeking waivers or exceptions to the code. Basically two houses ~ 7 were to be built as demonstration units. One deficiency was that there were not enough electrical outlets. Another is that plastic waste lines and preassembled copper supply lines and fiberglass tubs and backsplashes were not in accordance with the code.. The preassembled copper and plastic lines were fought because "plumbers should not be working in a factory, but outside where it is healthier." He noted, however, that the Building Inspection and Electrical Inspection units have both said that they would send inspectors to a factory at the expense of the manufacturer. The Plumbing Inspection Department so far has not agreed to send inspectors to a factory if the factory is located outside of the City of Atlanta, =S.. Mr. Alexander proposed we consider the slogan "Model Codes for Model Cities." Colonel Jones noted that HUD has started on some experimental construction projects ' on low-cost housing units. One is at Ashburn, Georgia, and one is in Pinellas County, Florida. One deals with low-cost single family units and the other with "golden age" units for the elderly. The following steps were decided to be necessary by the Panel: 1. Coordinate efforts of the Panel with the Model Cities Program. 2. Pursue the Southern Building Code idea for implementation in Atlanta. 3. Pursue the National Electrical Code (Southern Code does not have Electrical Code) for implementation in Atlanta. 4, Contact National Homes and other manufacturers concerning their experiences with codes here and elsewhere. 5. Contact major manufacturers who would be involved and get their views and enlist their support if possible. 6. Contact Mr. Wofford and other members of the Building Inspection Department. Keep them informed. Try to enlist them. 7. Follow up with Mr. Moore concerning the efforts of the Metropolitan Planning Commission in coordination with the Panel. Mr. Johnson noted that the Model Cities Program in Atlanta is‘ hoping to build a multi-unit concominium which is designed to meet the Southern Code Standards as well as . other projects in Atlanta by March of 1969.as demonstration units. He noted that it will be necessary to provide housing for any residents displaced while construction is going on. Mr. Little said that the School of City Planning will be doing a study of mobile type housing which will consider the attitudes of people toward living in that type of housing. Mr. Smith adjourned the meeting and stated that he or Dr. Harrison would reconvene the Panel in the near future. In the meantime, he will be following up with various members concerning the items discussed today. The meeting was adjourned. Colonel Malcolm Jones provided this information for the record: It is his under- standing that a state code has been adopted which applies to manufactured housing of the mobile home type and stated that additional information could be obtained from Mr. John B. MOmley, Jr., Executive Vice President, Southeastern Mobile Homes Institute, Inc., Suite A-l, 348 East Paces Ferry Road,’N. E., Atlanta, Georgia, 30305. His telephone number is 261-6166. Colonel Jones called me on Wednesday, September 25, and stated that a telephone conversation with represent. apives | of National Homes has indicated that no code revision: was hecessary, nor any form ‘ef waiver, for installation of a number of installations in Chicago's low-income housing program. Mr. Schmidt of National Homes Acceptance Corporation, in Atlanta, gave this information. - It originated with Mr. Price, Chairman of the Board of National Homes. Colonel Jones further stated that Mr. Willard Wirth of National Homes in Lafayette, Indiana, is making a study to see what changes would be necessary in the City of Atlanta's codes to make the same units used in Chicago acceptable in Atlanta. ec: Mr. Moreland Smith Mr, Cecil Alexander Mr. Malcolm Jones ,  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This tour was sponsored jointly by the IIllC and EOA, Inc. The bus •as arranged for by EOA. List of those invited, with attendance indicated, agenda, project data and other related documents are attsched to the file copy of these minutes only. The first area visited on the tour was the Bedford-Pine Urban Renewal Area. Mr. Lester Parsells, Associate Executive Director of the Housing Authority, acted as narrator during the tour through the Bedford-Pine area. This area is located near downtown .Atlanta and is North, East and Southwest of the new Civic Center on Piedmont Avenue. This is one of our worst slums. The Urban Renewal project is still in the Planning stage, but is expected to get in execution soon, perhaps under the newly approved Neighborho~d Development Program of the 1968 Housing Act. It will take about - 2½ years from now to clear the land in the clearance port i on. The reason fo r it taking so long is that it will have to be ta ken block by block . Many of the families in this area will have to be relocated. Some of the houses or buildings ~1 1 1· not be demolished but will be rehabilitated, Th·e \'lest side of Pz r kway Drive, South of Forrest Avenue, in the Bedford-Pine area i s to be used for Commerical development and the East side of Pa r kway Drive, South of Forrest Avenue, is intended for the Georgia Baptist Hos pit al Expa ns ion program. The people are work ing toge the r to help cle a n up the a r eas and a re work ing on a rat control pr og ram i n the a rea. Th e fi r st s t o p wa s Whe~t Stree t Garden Apa rtments in the Butler St reet Urba n Re newa l area . Th ls is a 221 d{3) pro ject, Non•pro f it and Re n t Suppl ement . The non-profit s ponsor is t he Wheat Stre et Baptist Churc h. The ? a stor is Rev. Wi l l i am Ho lmes Borders . The Whe a t Street Garden Apa r t ments are being developed in three phases. In Phase I there are 280 u nits , which are all two bedrooms with the rent for the upstairs apartme n t s at $74.00 and the downstairs apartments a t $71.00. This section was completed just before the current accelerated low-income ho~sing program started. Ph~se II of the project bas 84 units with rent for a one bedroom apartment being $79. 0 0 and the rent on the 3 bedroom apartments being $98. 00. The cost per unit of Phase II was $10, 912 of FHA Commitment. In Ph~se III of the projec t there �Page 2 are 108 units of three bedrooms at $140.00 with $80.00 a month Rent Supplement. The cost per unit of P hase XII is $12,500, FHA Commitment. We then traveled to another section of the City which is commonly !mown as "Lightening". Lightening is located almost in the heart of the City between Northside Drive and Marietta Street. This are~ is zoned M-2 (Heavy Industry). Most of the housing is d ilapidated and the streets are so narrow that it is almost impossible to get a car through them. Old, abandoned cars line most of the streets of the area, which h i nder the safety of the area. People from this area and many of the other slum areas are being hired for $1.60 an, hour to clean up the streets and to work with the small children. Li ghtening is considered the worst s l um in At lanta . A wal k through portions of this area, brought the tour group into first hand contact with the slum conditions which exist in this and other similar areas. The realization of the need for clearance and rebuildingaf something useful in this area was dramatic. The bus then took us t o and through the Vine City area . Vine City has long been considered for an Urban Renewal project. The main prob lem that lies here is l ack o f citizen agreement on participation. Here like in many o f the other slum areas, the houses are built r ight next to each other, with roofs and floors about to c ave in. P lumbing, which is no t up to standard, is a hazard to t he safety and health o f pe o ple in this area. We then traveled t o the Frie ndship Center in the Unive r sity Urban Ronewal area .

It has been very succecsful rationally in providing a stabilizing influence in home cvnerc=hip for ilcw-income famalies. We then rode through the McDaniel Street Public Housing project located on McDanicl <treet between 1-20 and Georgia Ave. Mr. Perselis again acted as narrator as we went through this project. The project has 650 units with 310 completed on 7-25-68 Page 4 and 340 units are under construction. This project was built on Urban Renewal iand at an average construction cost of approximately $14,500 per unit. According to Mr. Persells, the total cost per unit, including land and administrative expense, is in the neighborhood of $18,500 per unit. The project includes approximately 149 high-rise apartments for the elderly, a community house and an administration and maintenance house, We then returned back to City at 12:22 p.m. and the meeting was adjourned. Editorial Comment: it was cleariy obvious to those on this teur that various pockets of slum conditions of the worst sort Still exist in Atianta; that they can only be eliminated through positive and drastic action by the City; that reuse of the land in these areas, needs to be reanalyzed and change of current or anticipated zoning in some areas carefully considered to permit greater residential use; and that in general, current Federal assisted low-income housing projects are providing very creditable housing fcr Low-income occupants.

Text Any textual data included in the document Authority and FHA, &@s well as informat Justification For Senior Typist Clerk Needed to gather, mintain and prepare the Status Report, on monthi basis. of the Low and Medium Income Housing Program. The report aonetate o ree (3) Sections: Project Inventory, Summary and Index. It currently contains 109 separate projects and the number is constantly growing. The status of each project is constantly changing during planning and development, which in the large projects may extend several years. It is very important that the Status Report on the Low-income Housing Program be maintained and kept current, as it is the only composite record of low and medium income housing in the City. The data is assembled from periodic reports specially requested from,and submitted by, the Planning Department, Building Division, Housing Code Division, Housing : jon obtained directly from builders and developers; and from other Departments and Agencies on certain projects, Project sponsors, owners and managers should also be contacted to determine breakdown of units by bedroom composition and verification of rental prices, etc. Detailed information such as number of units, with bedroom composition, rentals or purchase prices, extent of utilities furnished and status of @evelopment of each project is necessary for providing essential and timely information on the projects to Relocation Services and to the Public who may be interested in occupying the units. Requirements are constantly increasing from the Public and government officials for information contained in this report. The information is also invaluable to the City in documenting annual revisions of the Workable Program and in providing data on relocation capabilities of the City in connection with applications for Urban Renewal and Neighborhood Development Program projects thoughout the City, and especially as pertains to the Model Cities area. The person charged with this function could be administratively assigned to another Department, but, to be most effective, should work directly with and under the supervision of the Housing Coordinator. To date, this report has been prepared, only sketchily and i produced much too infrequently, by the Housing Coordimtor, who cannot devote the time to it which is required, and still perform his other promotional and coordinating functiom in connection with the Low-income Housing Progran. If the Low-Income Housing Program should change direction soon to reflect expanding activities in the Model Cities program and the placing of greater emphasis in other directions, on more involved activities such as the Urban Coalitian, it will be more important than ever that someone be available, familiar with and able to keep - the Low-income Housing Status Report on a current and continuing asis,. Justification for Housing Consultant Financial support for the services of Mr. W. ¥. Gates, former Chief Underwriter of FHA in Atlanta (and subsequently at national level)as a Housing Consultant to the HRC, has been provided thus far by Urban America, Inc. However, Urban America feels that the Atlanta program has advanced sufficiently so that its financial support for = Services of Mr. Gates should now be withdrawn and be assumed by the city. Mr. Gates’ experience gs,a Chief Underwriter and trouble shooter for FHA, together with his many contacts with FHA officials on a personal basis and intimate knowledge of Metropolitan Atlanta, makes his services a very valuable asset to the Housing Resources Committee in a Consultant capacity for the Low-income Housing Program. i i ll  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
