Dear Mayor Allen:

Ebenezer Baptist Church is moving into the field of helping to
supply good housing for low and moderate income families. This pro-
minent Negro church has been awarded the contract for land in the
Rawson-Washington Urban Redevelopment Area on which they will build
a total of 152 housing units, including a 12-story building designed
for senior citizens, financed under FHA's 221 (d)(3) program.

We hope you will attend the contract signing on Thursday, July
20th, at 2:00 P.M. at the office of the Atlanta Housing Authority.
This proposed residential project endeavors to provide a meaningful
total community complex for this area, and representatives of the
press, radio and television have been invited. A copy of the pres
invitation is enclosed.

Most sincerely,

EOHACAL

Lester H. Persells
Director of Redevelopment
