(The majority of these losses were due to disapprovals of sites, a large portion of which were denials of zoning petitions . ).1,246 units originally listed have been dropped from totals in this report,- because of too high rentals. B.In view of the difficulties encountered in zoning and getting other approvals on sites proposed for large multifamily developments, it is ?pparent that the Low-Income Housing Program will have to lean heavily on Developers and Builders providing a substantial portion of the requirements on small scattered sites by both Conventional and Federal assisted financing. Also Public Housing in small projects, to include small developments on scattered sites is strongly advocated, for future development. C.No proposal has yet been made for the construction of units(even efficiencies) to rent or s e ll for as per mo. although the London Towne Houses, a 22l(d) 3 Co-op development now approaching completion, is with its one bedroom unit selling at 69 dollars a mo. The City's greatest need is the $30-$50 per Mo. purchase range, which appears to have little chance of accomplishment, without substantial government low as $50 near this rentalsubsidy. . D.Prefab distributors ~nd conventional builders have interesting potential houses to offer but, because of fear of local Cod es difficulties, are currently erecting very few single-fam~ly houses in Atlanta to sell in the $10,000-$15,000 range for wh ic h there is a strong demand and market. Perhaps the greatest difficulty is availability of suitably priced land within the Ci ty Limits. Economics for this price-range sales housing requires land which will cost the developer not more than $1,500 per unit. A 5,000 sq. ft. lot is considered ample for this type house which should reduce land costs by 33 1/3%; most houses in this price range are currently being erected in Atlanta on R-5 lots having a minimum size of 7,500 sq. ft.

It is estimated that 26,178 households will require housing assistance in 1975 and 23,03 will require stindiay assistance in 1983. Resolving existing imbalances will not be ena. Redevelopment must be systematically programmed over a suitable length of time.

Both of these densities are, according to local custom, relatively high. However, in view of the raw acreage needed (30% should be added for streets, commumity facilities, parks, etc.) much higher densities may have to be considered. The answer to the question of how to resolve housing imbalances lies within The beginning of an accelerated redevelopment the question of how to begin. © program dictates a more efficient and coordinated effort in housing and redevelopment planning.

This crash program should be geared to providing on-the-ground low £ cost hous sing for an expected 1967-8 displacement of 1,800 families from pubdlic projects now underway along with an additional expectation of ),900 families needing housing assistance as a result of four new high priority urban sienna projects recently proposed.* : } ; The contemplated breakdown of this immediate ("crash" program) need is: 2,25 omer housing units at a modest cost of from $12,500 to $17,500 and 7,275 rental units. The rental unit breakdown for this "crash" two-year program is expected to bee 1,220 units in the $55 or less rental. range; 2,620 units in the $98 to $80 rental range and 32 units in the $80 to $115 per month rental range. About 11,850 of these units are expected to be one-bedroom units; 2,350 two-bedroom; 1,300 three~bedroom; and, 1,200 four or more bedroom. “New urban renewal projects proposed for accelerated action are: the East Atlanta Project with 1,072 families to be displaced; the Vine City project with 2,32) families to be displaced; the.

In addition, an affirmative relocation program for Atlanta must include changes in organization, procedures, and policies aporopriate 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 disolacement. It also reveals the need for overall coordination oO of community development efforts; better record 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. Tne following recommendations have been devised to meet the needs outlined. Tney are paesented 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 paaskaanen necessary for effective long range relocation and relocation housing planning. 4 3 Recommendation 3 That a Housing Nesources Bureau be established 4g a major division within the proposed Community usetlopnitit 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. fudt.3a Po 4 -}s 71h nt oLa hs A yee ee inter, 4 fy ry + Weaiedne T - we wee * a | ape mel It is the intent of this recommendation that "Housing Planning" be eclevated 4 ° ea eae 5 Oe aaa Seely se = Ae ee ee = . a i wat ones ft “ Stee et +L to a position never before achieved in Atlanta as a hizhly technical entity with y Bl nf r ie maar amas Laursen elt ne el ee aaa Aas) et oe its own staff.

Nils Boe. now head of the Department cf Intergov- ernmental Affairs. He said Nixon already is mov- ing toward ‘ ‘decentralization of government” and cited designa- tion of Atlanta as onc of 10 decision-making headquarters for regional federai offices as “one milestone” in that endea- vor. “Over many years,” said Boe, “this has been talked about. No {one before has had the political fortitude to put it inte effect.” But at the same time, the former governor, who is alsoa former tegislator, ur ‘ged a a slow- program from the nation’s legis. | lier speaker from the Nixon!

Presumably he will have a slightly more receptive audience than among his stale chief ex- ecutive colleagues — bul not noticeably so. Legislative representatives of the 10 most populous states met privately here Wednesday after- noon and about came to agree- ment to do what the National Governors’ Conference, except- ing Maddox, did earlier in the fall in Colorado Springs: Say let Washington pick up the tab on welfare and Medicaid. who cerher in| -| BUT ON THE TOPIC at hand pn fo j n offi. | stlve a problem is io turn it ;over fo the federal govern- | meni.” Be added: “We can buy free: u from our responsibilities as stats Jenders only by selling fsome of cur freedom and some of our strength.” Indianapolis Mavor Richard 'C. Lugar, an aflemoon speaker, jealled reverue-sharing befween t states and eilies as imporiant fas the federal program. ‘The Indianapolis mayor earlier held ha press conference at which he told how his city accornplshed | sows ermmental consolidation with outlying areas. 1 t 1 ' t ‘ ' j—-money-dividing—he said: | “Phe 1967 Indiana General As- sembly voled to share & per cent of stute sales and income tax | revenues with Indiana counties jlo afford a degree of preperty ; tax velief, but this reventte shar- ling was not renewed in ihe 1969 iGeneral Assembly, “indiana cilies have never! been in more difficult straiis, | be it they share this condition wilh other Ai nerican cilies, gen- lerally.” He said, though, revenue- sharing alone will not correct! what he called “serious struc- | fural deficiencies in staie and, local governments.” “As local leaders,” he went: on, ‘we have demanded money i but have shown much less vigor in demanding reform. Our cities are an assorted mixture of 22,- 600 corporations with half occu-- pving less than one-sauare mile of territory, with almest all’ claiming ability to solve each and every crisis on a local. basis.” MAYOR LUGAR suggested to the Jegislaters the Indi: anapolis move of taking “ihe hard road of structural reform to obtain unity.” Ne described Indianapolis as “a united city of 800,000 Ameri- cans oceupying almost 402- square miles of Marion Coun- ty.” He added: “We are rich and poor, black and white, oid and young work- ing together and tooled up ia do a great job of self-government al the local level wilh tax funds which we have generated. “We want our share of reve- nué froin the United States and: from the State of Indiana lo per- j form those functions which fed- feral and state authorities have | AETeed we could do best.” y | i '  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I I / I ( r e. MINUTES - Housing Resources Committee October 8, 1969 The regular 1nonthly meeting of the Housing Resources Com1nittee wa s held at 10:30 A. M., Wednesday , October 8, 1969, in Committee Room 2, Second Floor, City Hall. Invitational notice, Agenda, list of those invited, with attendance of members and guests indicated, and other related documents are attached to the file copy of these minutes. Chairman Alexander opened the meeting by explaining the preparation of, and filing by the City on September 19, 1969, an appiication for consideration by HUD for designation of Atlanta as a prototype housing site City, under 11 0peration Breakthrough 11 ; that two sites were proposed, i.e., a fragmented site in 3 portions in the Model Ci.ties area and a 33. 6 acre composite site at the intersection of Carrol and Har v ill Roads, N. W. It was also expl a ined that Atlanta h ad been omitted in the initial invitations by HUD and that a very short time was available in which to prepare and submit the applicati_o n, after Atlanta was invited to do so. The Chairman complemented Urban East, Housing Consultant Firm, which assembled the a pplication, and other participants in preparation of the application, including Model Cities, Housing Authority, Planning Departme nt, State Planning Bureau, Atla nta Chamber of Commerce and M etropolita n Planning Commission. He also_ commented on favora ble supporting endorsements submitted by a large number of Agencies, business firms, religious groups and civic organizations.

HUD will control land th:i;ough leases, options to purchase and purchases. HUD will assum.e management control of the demonstration program. July!, 1971 Housing units will be sold and occupied. Mr. Howard Open shaw, Director of Redevelopment of the Housing Authority was then called upon to present the overall Neighborhood Development Program_ Proposed Activities for 1970. Mr. Openshaw summarized the proposed overall program as shown in the attached (Encl. 1) and emphasized the probable necessity for cut back, as indicated in letter of September 23, 1969, from Region III of HUD (attached as part of Encl. 1) . Mr . O penshaw then introdu ced Mr. Robert Barnett, Project Manager of the Vine City NDP project and Mrs. Dorothy Bolden, Vice-Chairman of the Vine City PAC (Project Ar.ea Committee). Mr. Barnett very ably explained in detail the process used in developing the plan, through citizen participation (planning with citizens of the area rather than for them) and coordination with various agencies involved. He showed the current over all plan as approved by the PAC and the specific area marked out for execution in 1970. The overall plan includes: a 24-acre park, commercial area, garden type apartments (no more than 2 story), town houses, single-family residences, and a community area (including a day care center). The proposed activities for the 1970 target area are shown in enclosure 1. Mr. Openshaw then introduced Mr. Harry Adley, President of Adley and Associates and Mr. Fred Kerpel and Mr. Lavern Parks, associated with Mr. Adley, Consultants for the Edgewood NDP area. He also introduced Mr. Curtis Parrish, Project Manager, Edgewood NDP . · Mr. Adley made an excellent color slide presentation of the development process and resulting plans of the Edgewood (formerly known as East Atlanta) NDP area. See enclosure l for proposed activities for 1970. In order to conserve time, further discussion of proposed activities in the NDP areas was concluded. I �I,.~--.. . ,....__,,_ Page Three The Chairman then asked Mr. Copenshaw if there was anything the HRC could do to assist in preventing the drastic cut back in Atlanta's anticipated Federal capital grant funds for 1970 ?; and called upon HRC members for comment. Motion was made by Mr. Frank Clarke, seconded by Mr . Richard H a rvey and after conside rable discussion, was unanimously adopted that a letter be written to the Secretary of HUD, with copy to the Regional Administrator, pointing out the disastrous effects such a cut back would have on Atlanta's current and future NDP activities and u1:ging that every consideration possible oe extended Atlanta in not reducing the Federal capital grant funds. (Copy of letter to Secretary Romney is attached, Encl. 3 ). The Chairman then called on reports f_rom Panel Chairmen, starting with Mr. Frank J. Clarke, Chairman of the Construction and Design Panel. Mr. Clarke presented a formal written rerort of his Panel, copy attached (Encl. 2), which includes: 1. His Panel's planned activities for the remainder of 1969; 2. A proposed letter for Mayor Allen to deliver to his successor recommending continuation of the HRC and the activities of the Construction and D e sign Panel; 3. A report developed in his office by an Urban Corps intern pertaining to Atlanta's Codes. Mr. Clarke re c ommended that the report on codes be a ccepted by the HRC a nd copie s transmitte d to the Building Offici a l a nd Cha irman of the Building Committee , Board of Alderm e n. The Cha irman aske d if there was a ny objections? As there w a s no objection from any member of the HRC, this will be done.

Invitational notice, Agenda, list of those invited, with attendance of members and guests indicated, and other related documents are attached to the file copy of these minutes, Chairman Alexander opened the meeting by explaining the preparation of, and filing by the City on September 19, 1969, an application for consideration by HUD for designation of Atlanta as a prototype housing site City, under ''Operation Breakthrough"; that two sites were proposed, i,e., a fragmented site in 3 portions in the Model Cities area and a 33.6 acre composite site at the intersection of Carrol and Harvill Roads, N.W. It was also explained that Atlanta had been omitted in the initial invitations by HUD and that a very short time was available in which to prepare and submit the application, after Atlanta was invited to do so, The Chairman complemented Urban East, Housing Consultant Firm, which assembled the application, and other participants in preparation of the application, including Model Cities, Housing Authority, Planning Department, State Planning Bureau, Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and Metropolitan Planning Commission, He also commented on favorable supporting endorsements submitted by a large number of Agencies, business firms, religious groups and civic organizations, Schedule was announced as follows: July 11, 1969 Briefing Session (original - did not include Atlanta) September 19, 1969 Proposals Due October 3, 1969 HUD will complete preliminary site evaluation October 17, 1969 HUD inspection teams will complete site inspections November 28, 1969 HUD will announce selection of eight prototype sites Page Twe January 1, 1970 Sites must be cleared and ready for development March 1, 1970 Site improvements will begin June 1, 1970 ' First housing units will be shipped and installed July 1, 1970 Construction and testing period begins, HUD will control land through leases, options to purchase and purchases. HUD will assume management control of the demonstration program. July 1, 1971 Housing units will be sold and occupied, Mr. Howard Openshaw, Director of Redevelopment of the Housing Authority was then called upon to present the overall Neighborhood Development Program Proposed Activities for 1970. Mr. Openshaw summarized the proposed overall program as shown in the attached (Encl. 1) and emphasized the probable necessity for cut back, as indicated in letter of September 23, 1969, from Region III of HUD (attached as part of Encl, 1). Mr. Openshaw then introduced Mr. Robert Barnett, Project Manager of the Vine City NDP project and Mrs. Dorothy Bolden, Vice-Chairman of the Vine City PAC (Project Area Committee), Mr. Barnett very ably explained in detail the process used in developing the plan, through citizen participation (planning with citizens of the area rather than for them) and coordination with various agencies involved, He showed the current ‘overall plan as approved by the PAC and the specific area marked out for execution in 1970. The overall plan includes; a 24-acre park, commercial area, garden type apartments (no more than 2 story), town houses, single-family residences, anda community area (including a day care center), The proposed activities for the 1970 target area are shown in enclosure l. Mr. Openshaw then introduced Mr. Harry Adley, President of Adley and Associates and Mr. Fred Kerpel and Mr, Lavern Parks, associated with Mr, Adley, Consultants for the Edgewood NDP area. He also introduced Mr. Curtis Parrish, Project Manager, Edgewood NDP. Mr. Adley made an excellent color slide presentation of the development process and resulting plans of the Edgewood (formerly known as East Atlanta) NDP area. See enclosure | for proposed activities for 1970. In order to conserve time, further discussion of proposed activities in the NDP areas was concluded.  Page Three The Chairman then asked Mr. Copenshaw if there was anything the HRC could do to assist in preventing the drastic cut back in Atlanta's anticipated Federal capital grant funds for 1970?; and called upon HRC members for comment, Motion was made by Mr. Frank Clarke, seconded by Mr. Richard Harvey and after considerable discussion, was unanimously adopted that a letter be written to the Secretary of HUD, with copy to the Regional Administrator, pointing out the disastrous effects such a cut back would have on Atlanta's current and future NDP activities and urging that every consideration possible be extended Atlanta in not reducing the Federal capital grant funds. (Copy of letter to Secretary Romney is attached, Encl. 3). The Chairman then called on reports from Panel Chairmen, starting with Mr, Frank J. Clarke, Chairman of the Construction and Design Panel. Mr. Clarke presented a formal written report of his Panel, copy attached (Encl. 2), which includes: i. His Panel's planned activities for the remainder of 1969; 2. A proposed letter for Mayor Allen to deliver to his successor recommending continuation of the HRC and the activities of the Construction and Design Panel; 3. A report developed in his office by an Urban Corps intern pertaining to Atlanta's Codes, Mr. Clarke recommended that the report on codes be accepted by the HRC and copies transmitted to the Building Official and Chairman of the Building Committee, Board of Aldermen, The Chairman asked if there was any objections? As there was no objection from any member of the HRC, this will be done. Courtesy copies of the report on codes had previously been presented to Mr. W. R. Wofford, Building Official, before presentation of the report to the Housing Resources Committee, Mr. Wofford, who had previously been invited to the meeting, responded unfavorably to the report on codes and specifically requested that certain members of his Department be permitted then to express their views and reactions to portions of the report which pertain to their special activities.

They were all hostile and negative in their comments and expressed strong dissatisfactior with the report, insofar as it pertained to their activities. Page Four Mr. Archer Smith, Chairman of the Legal Panel, commented that he did not consider the report pertaining to the codes as criticism or condemnation of the Building Department, but rather in the nature of an inquiry for clarification to laymen. He also asked Mr. Wofford that since the Atlanta Building Code is based on the National Building Code, with modifications pertaining to Atlanta, if an index of the changes applicable to Atlanta only has been prepared, in order to provide quick determination of the Atlanta changes by builders and architects familiar with the National Building Code, without them having to take hours of reading and comparison between the two, in order to determine what are the Atlanta changes? Mr. Wofford replied that such has not been prepared, but that changes can be determined by comparison between the two codes. Mr. Alexander commented that if such a listing was available that it would be quite a convenience to architects and he presumed likewise to builders, Since it was past time to adjourn the meeting, the Chairman announced that he would not call for additional Panel Reports nor complete the remainder of the Agenda, One item of interest under Other Business (not taken up during the meeting) was announcement September 30 by the Housing Authority of the offering for bids of the first and thus far only tract of land in the Model Cities area for redevelopment.

Total elapsed time from original contact with Housing Authority to actual securing of contract with Housing Authority was 23 months and 2 days, with 10 days additional in which to start construction, This is not a large or complicated project; only 160 units, I know from constant contact with Developer that he proceeded in a methodical businesslike manner and did not let any grass grow under his feet unnecessarily. Step by step procedure and length of time involved is amply documented in the attached chronology. Mr. Cecil A, Alexander October 27, 1969 Page Two Suggest that copies of the attached be provided Region III of HUD, Urban America and NAHRO for study and analysis, with view toward simplifying procedure and reducing time required to process applications and get proposed Turnkey projects into execution, Sincerely, Malcolm D, Jones Administrative Coordinator for Housing MDJ:mc Encl: Proposed Public Housing Project - 2451 Jonesboro Road, S.

Se~tember 30, 1969 A BACKGROUND PAPER ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM_ (NDP) The Problem The Neighborhood Development Program (NDP), which ~-, as - launched under the last Administra tion upon pa ss a g e of- the 1968 Housing Act, has generated a d emand for funds which far exceeds the money tha t can be mad e ava ila bl e for the prog r a m. -- Approxima tely 1,200 communities are presently participating or have applications pending in the urban renewal program, of which NDP is a part. About 300 cities have submitted, or a re on the verge of submitting, NDP applica tions. The estimated requ e st s for funds fro m the s e 300 citi e s for this year threat en, and by 1971 would cl early exceed, the tota l amount of money ·availabl e for the e n t ire prog r a m, ev en if no ren ewa l a ctiviti e s are funded in any of the other 900 non-NDP communities. !,. In part, the large d emand for NDP st ems from the f a ct that whe n the prog r a m was l aunched a nd the citi e s wer e e ncouraged . to fil e a pplica tion s, they we r e g ive n no limitat ions, nor wer e the y give n r eason to think the ir full funding ex pecta tion s wo uld not b e approv ed. This Administra tion h a s thus been confront ed with a pres e nt a nd pot e ntia l dema nd for NDP which ha s mad e it es sen t i a l to impo se ma nageme nt c ontrol s on NDP funding .

Text Any textual data included in the document September 30, 1969 A BACKGROUND PAPER ON THE NEIGHBORHOOD DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM (NDP) The Problem The Neighborhood Development Program (NDP), which was launched under the last Administration upon passage of the 1968 Housing Act, has generated a demand for funds which far exceeds the money that can be made available for the program, = Approximately 1,200 communities are presently participating or have applications pending in the urban renewal program, of which NDP is a part, About 300 cities have submitted, or are on the verge of submitting, NDP applications, The estimated requests for funds from these 300 cities for this year threaten, and by 1971 would clearly exceed, the total amount of money ‘available for the entire program, even if no renewal activities are funded in any of the other 900 non-NDP communities. In part, the large demand for NDP stems from the fact that when the program was launched and the cities were encouraged to file applications, they were given no limitations, nor were they given reason to think their full funding expectations would not be approved, This Administration has thus been confronted with a present and potential demand for NDP which has made it essential to impose management controls on NDP funding. The Administration's Position The Administration firmly supports the NDP concept. The program is a valuable and flexible tool to aid cities in achieving their renewal objectives. The NDP is designed to make it possible to take rapid action on urgent needs and to take immediate advantage of available development opportunities within the boundaries of one or more renewal project areas in a given community. The Department firmly believes that the management controls imposed on NDP funding will preserve the NDP concept, fund as many city programs as possible, and deal in-a responsible manner with the funding crisis facing the program. The imposition of controls at this time is necessary because the Department has no right and no intention of starting--as some have advocated--a larger program than can . be funded, with a hope or wish that Congress will make the kind of rapid and major change in renewal funding levels that would be required. Moreover, the Administration has _a deep sense of responsibility to the residents of program:areas to avoid any further perpetuation of false expectations and promises which, based on the facts known today, have little or no hope of fulfillment. This is a practice which has understandably embittered many neighborhood residents in the past. : Availability of Funds The problem begins with the basic fact that the total amount of money that will be available for all renewal, including NDP activities, is likely to range between $850 million and $1 billion for FY 1970. The last Administration requested $1 billion in the budget it submitted in January 1969 for Title I urban renewal funding in FY 1970. Shortly after coming into office, this Administration submitted a request to Congress for the exact same amount. The House-passed appropriations bill cut that figure to $850 million, and Secretary Romney has strongly appealed to the Senate for a restoration of the full amount. Even if the Senate - approves a higher figure, it will still be subject to adjust- ment in conference with the Heuse, which will meet to resolve differences between the Senate and House passed bills. Out of whatever sum Congress appropriates, the Department must give consideration to a wide range ‘of needs in addition to NDP applications. The Department is faced with: regular urban renewal project applications from both NDP and non-NDP communities; requested increases for on-going renewal projects; and applications for such related programs as code enforcement, demolition, interim assistance in blighted areas, assistance to certified areas, and community renewal programs. , At the present time, the pipeline of pending applications for everything excluding NDP totals approximately $1.4 billion. _ It should be noted that shortly after the NDP legislation was enacted, the impending financial squeeze became apparent to the Bureau of the Budget under the last Administration. As . @ consequence it placed hard and fast limitations on the program in December 1968, in order to avoid an escalation of hopes and expectations that likely could not be funded. This resulted © in the funding of only 35 cities in FY 69. Nature of the Competing Demand - To help understand the problem facing the Department at \ the present time, it is necessary to look at how the Funds available in 1969 were actually spent: Needed increases for on-going renewal projects that were started in prior years, and have incurred increases in land and development costs above the original estimates: $409 million : Approval of new projects in cities which have previously participated in the program as well as in communities seeking assistance for the first time: $465 million Approval of such related programs as code enforcement, demolition, interim assistance in blighted areas, certified areas, and the Community Renewal Program: $105 million Approval of lst year NDP action program in 35 cities. (Represents the net amount of funds from the FY 1969 appropriations. - In addition, the lst year NDP action programs for these cities utilized $210 million, which the cities elected to transfer for that purpose from funds already under contract or reservation.) $100 million (net) .The above breakdown indicates the nature and dimension of the competing demand for the renewal dollar. While the Department plans to introduce policies and practices that will reduce the amount required for increases for on-going projects, this will necessarily be a gradual process that will not release significant sums of money for other purposes in the immediate future. With respect to the other components in the overall breakdown, the rates indicated above are likely to remain approximately the same, so long as NDP remains an optional rather than a mandatory approach for the cities. Congress established NDP as an optional program, and this Administration intends to preserve that free choice, without pressuring or coercing any community into adopting one approach over another. The Demand for NDP Funds In addition to the problem caused by all the competing _demands for renewal funds, the NDP itself has unleashed a rapidly escalating demand for funds, which this year threatens, “and by 1971 would clearly consume all available funds, leaving nothing for the 900 non-NDP communities. The following table shows the projected demand for NDP funds. It does not include any estimate of demand for any communities beyond the 322 which have already submitted, or are on the verge of submitting, NDP applications: (Figures in millions) ‘Catepory _ 1970 1971 35 cities already approved $375 $3751 287 applications pending or 9 under active preparation $858 $892 $1,233 $1,267 Footnotes: 1, Assumes no rate of increase over 1970 level of requests, even though the 1970 request represents _@ 22% increase over the $310 million gross level undertaken in 1969, 2. Includes $317 million of net new funds from FY 1970 appropriations, and $541 million which the cities propose to transfer to NDP use from funds already under contract or reservation. Prospects for Recapture of Funds At the outset of NDP, it was hoped that significant sums of money would be returned to the Department to permit funding of other NDP applications, through the relinquishment by the cities of funds already under contract or reservation which were in excess of the amount needed to fund the community's lst year NDP action program. This expectation proved illusory. Of the first 35 cities approved-for NDP, only 11 released more than they required just’ for their lst year NDP action program. In fact, on balance, thé 35 cities required $100 million from FY 1969 appropriations, in addition to the $210 million they elected to transfer for NDP purposes from funds already under contract or reservation. Thus there is little reason to expect that the NDP's will be a source for the recapture of funds in the future. Basis for New NDP Controls In an effort to preserve the NDP concept and its value as a flexible tool, the Administration has rejected arbitrary controls over the program, such as a $1 million ceiling or a 20-acre limitation on the size of any program. Guidelines covering the management of NDP applications will be forthcoming.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Cary: It has come to my attention that in one of the Sub-Committee reports enclosed with the Housing Resources Committee Second Annual Report, December 12, 1968, in referring to the Federai Aviation Agency (F.A.A.) a typographical error was made in the statement | "December 2, 1968, the F.H.A. has not answered the City's letter | regarding average price for the houses", The reference was | actually to FAA. rather than to F.H.A. All copies of the report ' in this office have been corrected. | ; | We wish to apologize to you for this typographical error. I am well aware of the extensive assistance and excellent cooperation which your office has given the City on the matter _to which the reference was made and I wish to take this opportunity | to thank you, not only for your help on this matter but, also for | your habitual cooperation with the Housing Resources Committee | in the low-income housing field. | Sincerely, Cecil A, Alexander | Chairman | CAA/MDJ/mc »f | ec: Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. Mr. Edward H.
