GLADIN, Director September I], 1969 Mr. Cecil A. Alexander, Chairman Housing Resources Committee a. Finch, Alexander, Barnes, Rothschild / and Paschal] 44 Broad Street ae Atlanta, Georgia Wa Dear Cecil: We are delighted to have the support of the Housing Resources Committee in attempting to include "highly critical areas, such as Plunkettown and Lightning, in the 1970 NDP application for execution purposes". As you will recall, we attempted to include these two areas in the 1969 NDP application. However, they failed to be included due to lack of local financing. We are making the same attempt again this year to include these two areas in the 1970 NDP application. As yet, we still do not know whether local financing wil! enable us to include them. Relative to the last Whereas clause and item d (last paragraph of the Resolution), this is not a matter to be taken up with HUD. Under NDP this procedure of "pooling" miscellaneously derived local non-cash credits is, in fact; permissible and encouraged by HUD. Nonetheless, the Director of Finance took the position last year, and it is presumed he will do so again this year, that each area included in the NDP application should be self-supporting and be supported by a five-year financing plan. Let's assume, for example, that there were a surplus of local non-cash grants-in-aid in Bedford Pine under NDP in 1969 and 1970 and further, it was decided to use this surplus to finance and include new areas (such as Plunkettown and Lightning) in the 1970 NDP application. Further, let's assume that Bedford-Pine in 1971, 1972 and 1973 had need of using these surplus credits it had generated in prior years. The point being that by using al! surplus credits there would be no reserve for future years and the city would face a cash deficit in 1973, 1974 and 1975 in financing Bedford-Pine; also, possibly a cash deficit in financing the new areas added in 1969 and 1970. Mr. Cecil A. Alexander -2- September II, 1969 While we share the concern that highly critical areas need to be included in annual NDP applications, financial stability and financial restraints do play a major role. The answer to this dilemma is one on which the Planning Department and the Finance Department concur and have recommended to a recent joint meeting of the Planning and Development Committee and the Finance Committee on this very matter. This city must make an annual, fixed appropriation of cash for NDP and Urban Renewal purposes, which sum can be counted on and used to finance future NDP applications and to get on with this matter of working in highly critical areas instead of just talking about them.

Also, Federal reservations and sites are needed for an additional l, 936 Public Housing units in order to meet the City 1 s 5-year goal in this important category. Under existing Federal policies, the Housing Authority of the City of Atlanta is authorized to produce (build, buy or lease) and operate Public Housing units ·within 10 miles distance of Atlanta City Limits, provided the locations are not within the jurisdiction of another legally constituted Housing Authority and if the governing body of the administrative jurisdiction in which the developments are to be located consents and agrees to provide the necess a ry community facilities. Since the FHA 235 and 236 housing programs do not require Workable Programs nor form a l agreement by the local a dmini s tr a tive bodies to pro v ide community facilities, there is an opportunity under these progr a ms for developments to be loc a ted in almost any administrative jurisdiction within the Atla nta Metropolita n are a .

We also feel that not all future Public Housing units or Federally assisted 1noderate income housing should be locate d within the City of Atlanta . We further feel that within the City of Atlanta, Public Housing should be dispersed a nd that Public Housing developments outside the City should be located near sources of employment for the occupa nts, in developments of not to e x c e ed 200- 300 units each. We also believe that home ow nership for both mode rate and low-income fa milie s should b e encour a ged, whe r e ever po s sible a nd tha t priva t e e nte rpris e should continua lly be enc ouraged to produce needed housing in all c a tegories.

Text Any textual data included in the document Position Paper HOUSING LOCATIONS PANEL Housing Resources Committee For families in the lowest income brackets, $3,000 and below, which is generally considered poverty level, low-rent Public Housing has to date been the only aehent means of providing standard housing. Other Federal assisted programs, Bich as the FHA 221 d(2) (Single-family home ownership); the 221 d(3) (Thus far the work horse of the multi-family low- income housing program); and the 235, 235 (j) and 236 programs authorized in the 1968 Housing Act, are all designed to provide standard housing for those families whose incomes are just above the Public Housing level but not sufficient to enable them to compete for standard housing in the private enterprise open market, as it is now constituted, Recent survey, conducted by a private group, showed that more than 80% of the existing and projected Public Housing units in the Atlanta Metropolitan area are located within the City of Atlanta. Furthermore, the FHA 221 d(3) moderate income housing program is prohibited by Federal law from going in any area that does not have a certified Workable Program. (None of the Counties in the Atlanta Metropolitan area have certified Workable Programs.) This restriction however does not apply to the FHA 235 or 236 moderate income housing programs authorized by the 1968 Housing Act, Since the metropolitan area outside the Atlanta City Limits provides job opportunities and employment for sucha large portion of the Atlanta Metropolitan population and constitutes the primary base for the growth of the Metropolitan area, it is only just and reasonable that low-rent Public Housing units and Federally Page Two assisted moderate income housing be more equitably distributed beyond the City Limits of Atlanta. At the present time, in Atlanta's current housing program, locations are needed for 2,261 Public Housing units to meet reservations already requested by the City and approved by the Housing Assistance Administration of HUD. Also, Federal reservations and sites are needed for an additional 1, 936 Public Housing units in order to meet the City's 5-year goal in this important category. Under existing Federal policies, the Housing Authority of the City of Atlanta is authorized to produce (build, buy or lease) and operate Public Housing units ‘within 10 miles distance of Atlanta City Limits, provided the locations are not within the jurisdiction of another legally constituted Housing Authority and if the governing body of the administrative jurisdiction in which the developments are to be located consents and agrees to provide the necessary community facilities. Since the FHA 235 and 236 housing programs do not require Workable Programs nor formal agreement by the local administrative bodies to provide community facilities, there is an opportunity under these programs for develop- ments to be located in almost any administrative jurisdiction within the Atlanta Metropolitan area, We, members of the Housing Locations Panel of the Housing Resources Committee, believe that adequate physical sites exist (but not without serious problems as to availability), both within the City Limits of Atlanta and in the unincorporated areas of adjacent counties, to meet current and future low- income housing needs, without detriment to any group or neighborhood, However, Page Three many tests such as zoning, government agency approval, price, utilities, and availability must be passed, These tests greatly limit site acquisition. We also feel that not all future Public Housing units or Federally assisted moderate income housing should be located within the City of Atlanta. We further feel that within the City of Atlanta, Public Housing should be dispersed and that Public Housing developments outside the City should be located near sources of employment for the occupants, in developments of not to exceed 200-300 units each, We also believe that home ownership for both moderate and low-income families should be encouraged, where ever possible and that private enterprise should continually be encouraged to produce needed housing in all categories, We welcome all efforts to produce housing through private enterprise and hope that ways and means will be found to create housing through this traditional method. We further feel that Atlanta urgently needs a comprehensive review of the Zoning Ordinance and complete rezoning of the entire City (not done since 1954) in order to best meet the City's needs in many fields, to include adequate provision for low-income housing of all categories. Since residential construction is largely channeled cost-wise in economic strata, through requirements on minimum lot sizes authorized for respective Zoning Districts, thereby limiting upper brackets on construction costs which are practical for the various categories, it follows that apartment zoning might just as logically also have several categories, with some particular categories geared to low-rent Public Housing and to Federally assisted housing programs, suchas the FHA 221 d(3), 235 and 236, Page Four We therefore recommend and urge the following: a, Prompt mutual cooperation and assistance of public bodies in the Atlanta Metropolitan area in providing adequate sites for low-income housing, including Public Housing, preferably in small developments not exceeding 200-300 units each, distributed throughout the Atlanta Metropolitan area and insofar as feasible, in reasonable proximity to sources of employment for the occupants, That home ownership projects be sponsored and encouraged where ever possible for both moderate and low-income families.

JONES Housing Coordinator MEMORANDUM TO: Mr. Dan E. Sweat, Jr. Director of Governmental Liaison In connection with the recent attempt to resolve an apparent impasse (requested by owner of the Chamberlain Apartments, a 30 unit 221 d(3) project, on Chamberlain Street in the Butler Street Urban Renewal area) the following situation was brought to light. The architect submit~ed complete and detailed plans to the Building Department, including Heating and Ventilating, and obtained a building permit. Subsequently, the Heating and Ventilating Division declined to go along with the heating plans by insisting on an additional heating duct in the kitchen area, for which the logical location was a boxed-in channel near the ceiling, through which gas pipes had already been installed, thus preventing the addition of a heat duct. The Architect claims this was shown on the original drawings submitted to the Building Department; and, at time of issuance of the building permit, nothing was said about the Heating and Ventilating plans being unsatisfactory. This was confirmed by the Contractor and by representative of the Heating and Ventilating Division. It developed that this situation arose because the plans, when initially submitted to the Building Department, and on which the building permit was issued, were not shown to, or coordinated with, the Heating and Ventilating Division. This appears to be a common practice and the particular controversy in this instance could have been easily avoided, if internal coordination between Divisions in the Building Department had been accomplishedo An engineer has told me that he estimates that the lack of internal lateral coordination within the Building Department on plans submitted to it, costs the Heating and Ventilating contractors alone approximately $1,000,000 a year. �Mr. Dan E. Sweat, Jr. March 18, 1969 Page 2 I have also been advised that on occassions similar internal coordination within the Building Department is not accomplished with the Plumbing and Electrical Divisions on plans when initially submitted. The explanation given for this is that frequently the Plumbing and Electrical plans are not completely developed at the time the building permits are applied for. This is frequently true, however, it appears that examination of tQe plans by the Heating and Ventilating, Plumbing and Electrical Divisions at the time they are initially submitted and being studied by the Buildng Division for issu~nce of building permits would cause detection of most inadequancies and or major conflicts with interests of other Divisions within the Building Department. This is a contention I made repeatedly, when in the Building Department, by specific recommendations on several occassions in an effort to get this accomplished. Such procedure appears to me to be basic and is practiced in many cities. Recommend a positive ·procedure be established in the Building Department that before building permits are issued, appropriate plans be referred to the Heating and Ventilating and Air-Conditioning Divisions, Plumbing Division and Electrical Division and State Fire Marshall Representatives in the Building Department for examination and coordination and that such coordination be accomplished and recorded on such plans, or on attached routing card, showing dates and individuil.s responsible.

HOUSING RESOURCES COMMITTEE Analysis of Housing Authority Report on Residence of Tenants (3-10-69) | Interviews were made in all projects. | 4,130 families were interviewed out of approximately 10,500 in occupancy. This should provide a fair sampling. Leased Housing and McDaniel Street project reflect most recent occupancy and therefore should be indicative of current trends. Percentages have been calculated on Summary Report and on | Leased Housing and McDaniel Street Project (separately). Question 1, indicates that Overall and in McDaniel Street project less than 10% of the families have lived within the City Limits under five years; and in Leased Housing about 15% have lived in the City Limits under five years. Additional boxes "5-10 yrs." and "10-20 yrs." and ‘dver 20 yrs." would give greater value to Question 1, Question 2 indicates that Overall, about 18% of the occupants have lived in Public Housing less than a year; in Leased Housing 78% less than a year; and in the McDaniel Street project 86% less than a year. Overall, 36% have lived in Public Housing over five years, in Leased Housing 6% over five years and in the McDaniel Street project 9% over five years, Question 3, "what place did tenant come from" is somewhat vague since no period of time is indicated. Apparently at some time in their lives 3,570 tenants moved into Atlanta from other areas and 560 were lifetime residents of Atianta. The answer to Question 2 indicates that 3,773 or 91.3% of the 4,130 tenants interviewed have lived within the Atlanta City Limits over five years and that only 13 of the tenants have lived in Atlanta less than one year. Question 3 should be clarified prior to any further surveys being made. Perhaps it should indicate where tenant lived 2-3 years prior to time limit of at least one year, now required for establishing residency in Atlanta, before becoming eligible for Public Housing: On next survey, Question 3 should alee include a fourth box (Inside City Limits of Atlanta). PAGE 2 8. Question 4 "Reason for coming to Atlanta" shows consistency throughout that; "To get better jobs’ - predominates. “To live with relatives" - is second most predominant reason. "To get better housing" - is third most predominant reason given. However, any or all of the reasons giver could involve housing, as is shown by the fact that regardless of primary ' peason for coming to Atlanta all of these now occupy Public Housing.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

SIMON MRS. MARY STEPHENS DR. J. RANDOLPH TAYLOR s MR. NAT WELCH . Executive Director On March 20, I took four very carefully selected welfare mothers to Washington so that they could tell their stories directly to their representatives. Here are the comments made by each: A. Senator Talmadge 1. "I don't think the Congress or the state is going to let people go hungry. "! 2. He said that he had voted last year to delay the ''freeze" and 'I see no reason why I should not do so this year, "' 3. Talmadge was disturbed that approximately 50% of welfare cases involved husbands who deserted their families. He strongly feels that State and Federal laws on this should be "tightened up." B. Senator Russell. He was ill. We talked with Charles Campbella top aid who had these comments: l. Russell had received more mail this year on the freeze than on practically any other subject. 2. Russell believes in: a. Increasing Day-Care Center programs (''we have many good federal programs that are inadequately funded"). b. Extending aid to help: people find jobs. 3. ''Those who are able to work should work; those who are unable to work should receive welfare benefits. The difficulty is to separate those in need from those who should not be on the welfare rolls." 4, If it came up for a vote, Campbell predicted that Russell would vote to extend the freeze another year. C, Congressman Ben Blackburn 1, We talked with him for a solid hour. He described our visit as "helpful, "'  . j i bs 2 J . 2 JOMMUNITY RELATIONS COMMISSION .

Although he is rot prepared to vote ''yes'' now, he predicted that sre a Weds the freeze would be extended. Excanbe Director 3. He is concerned that the situation is getting worse and the present program is not working. 4. Although he believes in a balanced budget, he said he advocates training programs strongly enough to go into debt to pay for them. 5. He asked for detailed information about children on welfare in Fulton and DeKalb County. a. Total number of children receiving benefits ages 0 to 5, 5 to 10, '10 to 15 and so forth. b. Number of one child families, two child families, 5 and above, etc. c. Families with fathers who have deserted them, d. Percentage of illegitimate children involved. e. Federal and State statues on fathers who desert, D. Congressman Fletcher Thompson 1, Concerned that the Federal Government is spending more money than it is taking in. 2. "There is practically nothing Icando. This matter is in the hands of Wilbur Mills (Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee). He rules this Committee with an iron hand." 3., Thompson did practically all the talking and we had a chance to say very little. He spent a great deal of time talking about the welfare situation in New York City. We told him, 'We had come to discuss the hungry people in Fulton County, Georgia." 4. "This is not just an Atlanta or Georgia problem but a national problem" 5. "The tax Reger e are sereaming about high taxes and reducing expenditures, ' 6. lasked him was there anything else I should tell the press on our visit other than his concerns. Thompson said, "I can't think of anything else." Our visit was well reported in the Journal, (Gonetution, WSB-TV, WAGA-TV, and five radio stations.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Alexander, Chairman Housing Resources Committee Re my memo to you of February 24, 1969, (copy attached), Please note the second paragraph, advising that Dan Sweat feels that the initiation of any major updating study on housing in Atlanta should be initiated by the HRC. I agree with Dan that, because of our progress to date in the low-income housing field,in order to maintain the prestige of the HRC, any formal proposal for initiation of a major updating study as to future low and medium income housing needs in Atlanta, should come from the HRC, rather than from some cther Department or Agency. Whether or not you agree with my conclusions about the matter as summarized in the last paragraph of the attached memo, as time progresses we will definitely need updating in- formation on housing requirements as to family incomes, type, number, size and cost of units. We simply do not have the facilities in this office, as currently set up, to attempt asstudy of the nature and scope required, A very good illustration of this need is the request today from the National Urban Coalition to provide by April 3 an estimate of anticipated number of subsidized housing units to be constructed in Atlanta in the next three years which might be committed to a market assembly program (See attached news clipping from this morning's Atlanta Constitution. I had hoped that the new direction which we as a Committee should take would be forth coming before this, but apparently it hasn't, I feel that Eric Hill Associates is as well qualified as any firm to prepare a comprehensive updating housing study | and I found little with which to disagree in their outline proposal, However, Mr. Gates feels that Eric Hill Associates a a ce a a Mr, Cecil A. Alexander March 25, 1969 Page 2 does not give recognition or credit to others for being familiar with the Federal Housing programs, which he, of course, certainly is. I think, however, that in a study all of these programs will have to be considered and analyzed in order to provide a logical basis for alternatives and conclusions reached, ‘I suggest that the Eric Hill proposal be placed on the Agenda of our next HRC Executive Committee meeting and formal action be — taken on it by our Committee. ‘At this stage, I would be inclined to recommend favorable action by our Committee for a request to the Mayor and Board of Aldermen for such a study.
