We are alarmed about continued reductions in second year
funds for ACEP. As of now we are told by regional U.S.

area which includes our total Mode~ Cities community.
I
In addition to these reductions in potential training
opportunities, these fund cuts have seriously diminished
the ability of certain program components to be staffed at
a level to give close, individual attention to the multiple
problems of CEP clients. Of particular significance is the
vital counseling and follow-up activity of Employment Service
personnel.
Even if the amount of funds available had not been reduced
it had been the concensus of planners (including business,
representatives of the poor, employment service, the schools,
U.S. Labor, and EOA) that the number of persons served should
be reduced and the length of training increased. This conclusion was the result of the first year's experience that
the socially and educationally crippled people enrolled in
CEP could not be upgraded in a brief training program. With
this substantial reduction in funds, however, the number of
training opportunities is drastically reduced and the potential impact of the program watered down significantly. Any
action which has this result is a danger to us and should
avoided if possible.

dollar cut in federal fund~ budgeted for ACEP for the
period September 1, 1968 thru August 31, 1969:
Year
Federal Funds
8/68
$3,980,531
9/68 - 9/69
$2,967,789
9/£57
We learned many lessons in ~ur first CEP year and ~ad projected a modified program for the second year which incorporated many of these lessons. These continued reductions 'in ·
funds, however, have required alterations in our second year
projections for training and employment opportunities:

-2If you don't count direct placements (since this involves
little or no training investment), we are left with only
660 training opportunities for this large disadvantaged
area which includes our total Model Cities community.
In addition to these reductions in potential training
opportunities, these fund cuts have seriously diminished
the ability of certain program components to be staffed at
a level to give close, individual attention to the multiple
problems of CEP clients. Of particular significance is the
vital counseling and follow-up activity of Employment Service
personnel.
Even if the ·amount of funds available had not been reduced
it had been the concensus of planners (including business,
representatives of the poor, employment service, the schools,
U.S. Labor, and EOA) that the number of persons served should
be reduced and the length of training increased. This conclusion was the result of the first year's experience that
the socially and educationally crippled people enrolled in
CEP could not be upgraded in a brief training program. With
this substantial reduction in funds, however, the number of
training opportunit~es is dra s tically reduced and the po t ential impac t o f the program wate r e d down significantly. Any
action which has this r e sult is a dange r to us and should
be avoided if possible.

Dear Mr. Norwood:
I have several concerns about the ACEP program which
I wish to register with you.
(1)
The continued reduction - in projected
federal funds for our second CEP year
is alarming in that it diminishes
employment· training resources in a
vital area of our City. Our projected
reduction now totals approximately one
million qollars compared to the first
year budget.
(2)
We need mor e training opportunities in
new careers, special impact, youth
opportuni ties , and skills training.
·Present projections are for a total of
660 such slots. This is far below our
original second year projections o f
1150 and dilut es significantly the
potential impact o f ACEP.
�\
Mr. Norwood
-2-
(3)
We wish to include the East Central
target area in our second year program
and ask that serious consideration be
given to this request.
(4)
We feel a greater voice should be
provided in the selection and planning
of skills training courses for ourselves,
our business advisors, · and our representatives of the poor. Recent adjustments
of program planning procedures seem to have
diminishe_d this possibility aft er we worked
very hard to develop interest i n these
groups.
(5)
We need an expanded Employment Service
effort within ACEP to include a strengthened
recruiting and follow-up activ i ty. Budget
reductions have forced eliminat ion of vital
staff positions in this area.

Dear Mr. Farris:
Economi.c Opport:unity Atlanta, Inc. is requesting that the City of Atlanta
in 1969 increase i ts support of the local antipoverty program from $100,000
to $125,000.,
The cash all.ocation from the City of Atlanta is used to help meet the
non-federal. share of twenty per cent which is required by OEO. During 1968,
federal grant s available to EO~ have totaled $12,889,720, requiring $2,075,049
in non-federal share. The great majority of grant funds available are spent
within the C:ity, and during the year, contracts totaling $1,713,383 have been
made directly with City departments;
Parks and Recreation
San itation
Atl anta Public Schools:
(1) Summe~ Head Start
(2) Manpower Training
$329,063
$168,670
$356,524
$85 9,126
As can. be seen, the City government receives a d irect return fro~ its
investment i n EU\ ,. a s well as the indirect gains accruing from the improved
lives of its: cit iz:e ns as they benefit from the many p rogram activities.
In t h e·, pas t,. much of our non-federai share ha·s b een developed t hr ough
in-kind contribu tions of space, equipment, and services . However, new
regulations f r om OEO demanding much more detailed j lllls tification of in- kind
claims has ma de i t more d ifficult to meet requiremeimts in this way, and
availability of loca l cas h is going to be increasingly important if the
community i s to t ake fu ll advantage of f ederal programs .
The EO\ . Board 7 staff , a nd resident participants are very appreciative
of the suppor t gi.ven t his program by City government. We have worked closely
�Honorable Milton G. Farris

Department to help maintain community stability. We are directly assisting
City efforts in planning, employment, housing, and community relations,
and we look forward to greater effort in . 1969 /

Dear Sir:
The Committee on Education and Labor of the House of Representatives is
gathering information on the operation and effectiveness of vari ous programs
to reduce unemployment and poverty . The Committee will be concerned with the
continuation of the Economic Opportunity Act and the programs included in that
Act such as the Neighborhood Youth Corps, the Concentrated Empl oyment Program
(CEP), Job Opportunities in the Business Sector (JOBS), Operation Mainstream,
New Careers, Community Action, the Job Corps, and Headstart .
As Chairman of the Committee on Education and Labor, I would like to know
whether these programs are accomplishing their objectives and how well they
are working locally. While national statistics are important, there is no
substitute for the evaluations of those who are closest to the scene, and so
I am seeking your help.
One or more of the economic opportunity programs is operating in your
community and sho r t que s tionnai r es referr ing to those which are in your communit y and about which you may have knowledge a r.e enclosed.
I ask t ha t you give suff i cient time to you r response s to make them as
compl et e as pos si bl e. I t would be most useful i f, in addition to che cking the
box whi ch be st summarize s your ob servat i ons, you would al s o pr ov i de your own
comments i n the spac e s pr ov i ded on the quest ionnaires .
By giving us the bene fi t of you r j udgment and experience, you will be
rendering a service to the Congress and t o t he c ountry. I t hank you i n advance
f or yo ur help and a pp reciate your continuing e ffo r ts on behal f of the poor.

Local support in Atlanta has been the best in the Nation, and much credit
eelongs to t he excellent interpretive effort made by the CAP. A current
example involves the designation of a week in January, 1969 as
"START NOW ATLANTA" week, prmzlaimed by the Mayor, and designed by the CAP
as a way to generate interest and activity: in the 11 non-poor 11 community.

TO ATLANTA CIVIC LEADERS:
People must constantly ask you, as they ask me, "What
can I do?" and "How can I find out what's going on?"
Because so many are asking these questions , we have
tried to provide new ways for them to learn first hand
about Atlanta's needs and to become personally involved
as volunteers.
In January many civic, religious and social groups
will join EOA in a START NOW ATLANTA campaign to alert
citizens to Atlanta's needs. The week of January 12 will
be proclaimed START NOW ATLANTA week .
I hope that y our organization will be able to participate by planning special programs, visiting Atlanta's
slums as guests of poor people, or by volunteering as a
group or as ind i viduals .
I am enclos i ng brief background ma terial plus
information abo u t two p r ograms which will be introduced
during START NOW ATLANTA week.

TWO NEW EOA PROGRAMS FOR ATLANTA ' S CITIZENS
Because so man y: people ask "What can I do, " and "How can I
find out what ' s going on," EO A is offering two programs to help
them learn first hand end to be~bme inv6lved.
The week of January 12 will be proclaimed START NOW ATLANTA
wee~to alert citizens to the cit y' s needs and to introduce the
two programs .
l .
FIND OUT
One program is run by pov ert y area resider.ts who want to show
other Atlanta n s what progress t h e y have made in t r1eir neighborhoods
and what obstacles they still face.
Twenty-two residents have
volunteered to lead tours through their neighborhoods.
They call
themselves V. I. P. ' s or Vol un teer I nf ormation People, and are
members of EOA neighborhood self help groups in 14 low income areas
served by EOA neighborhood centers.
One of the V. I. P. ' s described their purpose this way:
if we I re tired of them pe o ple coming through here
shaking their heads about the rats and garbage
and nasty shacks and not seeing us .
Since we
learned how, we 1 ve did more for ourselves than
an y one have did for us and we're going to do
more.
we're people too .
Some of us have a lot
of talent.
After we get off our jobs, we spend
most of our hours work i ng to make our neighborhoods
better. We want to talk with people who come
t h ro u gh here.
Ma y be if we work with eacn oth er
we can get rid of this load.
It ain ' t good for
none of us . "

START .NOW ATLANTA
Atlanta, the capital of the Southeast, is known for its
growing economy, beautiful homes and fine universities. For most
of its citizens Atlanta offers growth, vitality and prosperity.
But for 160,000 Atlantans this is not true. They live in
40,000 unfit dwellings in neighborhoods with names such as Vine
City, Cabbagetown, Lig h tning, Summerhill, Mechanicsville and
Buttermilk Bottom, only minutes from downtown Atlanta, but decades away from the mainstream of Atlanta's progress.
The social, economic and ethnic character of Atlanta 1 s population is undergoing profound change. Middle-class families are
moving to the suburbs, leaving behind in the central city area an
increasingly large concentration of unemployed, underemployed,
poorly educated, low-income families.
Some of the residents of the central city are long-time hard
core slum dwellers. Added to this group are thousands of rural
"in-migrants" who move to Atlanta yearly from surrounding states.
Crowded into deteriorating housing and alien surroundings, the
newcomers from deprived rural areas join the residents of the central
city in a lonely, miserable existence characterized by restricted
opportunities and despair. Most are unskilled. Many are illiterate, lacking the most basic skills in reading, writing and
arithmeti~. Many are unable to fill out job applications , read
street or bus s igns, or follow written work instructions. F inding
no work and little hope, the family unit disintegrates as individuals break and flee or fathers move out to allow their families
to qualify f or public assistance. Desertion, divorce, crime, delinquency, unemployment and dependency . follow.
Who are the poor in Atlanta?
They are young men , like the 21 y ear old holding two jobs,
neither pa y ing more than $1.25 an hour, to support h is wife and
four chi ldren. A loan company is now thr e aten i ng to garnishee his
wages because he missed payments on m9ney borrowed to buy Christmas
toys for his children. One of his ch i ldren had pneumoni a. Tremedicine and additional coal to heat his room~ took all he had .
The poor are wome n, like the 33 ye ar old mother supporting
three ch i ldren.
She ea rns $2 8 .00 a week and pa ys $1 2. 00 a week
rent on th ree rooms. She must
lea ve her children alone at home
while s h e works because there are no free da y care centers near
her neighborhood.
The poor are old, like the 76 yea r old man l ivin g a lone i n
one room, ex±sting on canned tomato juice and wieners which a
neighbor brings every six or seven weeks. He is paralyzed. No
one else ever comss to see him.
The poor are parents, l ike the mother and father struggling
to feed eight chi ldren . The fa ther drove a garbage truck for a
private firm where his take home pay was $58 . 00 a week. Sometimes
he slept in the truck when he mi ssed the one ride that took him
near his home, some 18 miles away . One night a policeman came there
to tell him that his 8 month old daughter had died of malnutrition
�-2-
that afternoon. The ma ~ is ~ow blind. He ~o lon ger watches his
oldest son draw beautiful pictures --- a son who will never have
a chance to dev elop this talent because he must quit school and
feed his famil y .
Who are the people living in Atlanta ; s slums?
A study of 4 7 ,000 people, 1 6 t h rough 75 years of age, living
in poverty neighborhoods served by EOA centers, found that:
More than 2/3 of all unemployment in t h e Atlanta Metropolitan
area is concentrated in these low-income areas.

34% of the white women and 30% o f the white men desired
additional vocational trainin g .
75% o f the Negro women and 6 1% o f the Negro me~ wanted
add i tional vocatio~al training.
The need for jobs, or better jobs, isa major topic of conversation in Atlanta's slums. The EOA centers are in daily contac t
with thousands who do not earn e nough to support th e ms e l ve s and
the ir famil ies b e ca u s e t hey ar e un e mploy ed, und e remploy e d or und e rpaid. Sev enty -two percen t of all people coming to EOA ne ighborhood
centers want jobs , t h ough most need many other EOA services before
they are prepared for stea dy e mployment . ~
At th e s ame t i me, Atlanta employe rs beg for people with the
skills th ey ne e d to run th e ir bus i n es ses.
Un e mp l oyment was t e s bo t h h uman a nd e conomic
pote nt i al. At
the lowest lev el, each man-y ear of unemploy ment costs t he economy
at least _$2,500-.~3,000_ in lost wages or products. I f the per capita

The anti-poverty program ha s don e much more .
I t h as demon strated th e success of the first really new idea in social welfare
since 177 6. That new idea a mounts to one little preposition, but
it has revoluti6nized old methods . In stead o f doing things FOR
and TO poor people, EOA has shown t h e success o f workin g WITH people
to help them solve their own problems . EOA is not another ha ndout program .
It simply offers opportunities for education, training, and services. And mo st i mportant of all, the poor help plan
e very program.
Some 200 neighborhood b lock clubs and their elected repr esentativ es to EOA commi ttees attest to the success of this idea. Since
19 64 the poor in Atlanta have spent mo re voluntee r hours t rying to
i mprove th e ir l ives than a ll other volunteers together.
The i mportance they attach to this n ewopportunity was shown l ast year when

�Citizens Central Advisory Council
Legislative Recommendation
of the
Education Sub-Committee
December 17, 1968
I.
The Georgia State Legislature is called upon to pass the following
amendments:
A.
At present the board of education candidate's fee is $900.00.
This large fee eleminates the possibility of grass root people
becoming candidateso
We recommend that the board of education candidate's fee be
r~duced to $25.00 in order to insure the possibility of all
persons being fostered the opportunity to run in the election.
B.
Several months ago the Department of Health, Education and Welfare
evaluated the school system of the United States and Georgia
rated forty-ninth.
In order to dissolve the education lag in Georgia, training
must start at an early ageo We therefore reccomend compulsive
kindergarten throughout the state.
C.
All tea~hers be placed in their major area of training.
D.
Funds be withheld until local boards of education comply with
the State Board of Education's requirementso
E.
Representatives to Boards of Education be elected by wards and areas.

That some decentralization of the health services now available
at Grady be undertaken to make them more accessible to people and
to attempt to ease the overcrowding there.
3.
Enforce the city code which requires that ambulances be staffed by
a doctor, a registered nurse, or a person with Red Cross First Aid

Citizens Central Advisory Council
Legislative Recommendations
of the
Follow-Through Sub-Committee
December 10, 1968
I.
The Georg~a State Legislature is called upon to pass the following:
A.
Provide the Atlanta School System with an increase in
transportation allotment per child in order that the
children attending Headstart, Follow-Through and schdbls
dealing with the mentally and physically retarded can
travel to and from school safely.
I
�Citizens Central Advisory Council
Legislative Recommendations
of the
Follow-Through Sub-Committee
December 10, 1968
I.
We recommend to the Atlanta Board of Education that:
A.
Cross-walks be placed at strateg~c points withiri the FollowThrough school areas for the protection of the children.
B.
Patrol ladies be provided for these cross-walks; also these
ladies be hired from the target area of the connnunity.
�MANPOWER SUB-COMMITTEE RECO~.MENDATIONS
Although the nation in general and Atlanta in particular is
experiencing relatively high employment, the hard core poor, i.e.
the chronically unemployed require immediate and direct assistance.
These unskilled men and women who are currently unproductive and
therefore impose a heavy drain on welfare and other dependency
programs would prefer to be , ·e mployed and productive if given the
necessary training and/or work.
Therefore, we call upon our state representatives and city
officials to enact legislation which will:
A.
B.
c.
Establish a Public Employrne nt Program including the following
featur es :
1.
Public work and beautification program for limited s ki lled,
unemployed persons in urban communities.
2.
New Ca reers progrqms in public depar tments .
3.
Establishment o f sub p r ofess ional job categori e s in the
State Merit System.
4.
Cre a t e a public advi s ory committee to th e Department of
Labor.
Establi s h a Skills Center d es igned to offer training, eva luation,
and plac eme nt to the unemployed in the urban centers of the

SOCIAL SERVICES SUB-COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
The most serious problem facing the poor in Atlanta and
throughout the state is the impending freeze of welfare assistance. The level of assistanceis already too low.
It
should be raised. But if it must remain at this low level,
at least continue this sole support for mothers with dependent children.
The Congressmen from Georg~a are urged to work for the
repeal of those provisions which would freeze AFDC at current
levels.
The proposed tax revision pos es a real threat to the
families o f th e poor throughout the state ..
The general sales and use of tax is the most regressive
tax .
It take s a far larger p e rce ntage of the poor man's
income than a rich man's, simply b ecause the poor man spends
a g reat d eal of his income on n e c ess ities .
If the General Assembly increas es the taxes wh ich ar~
regres~ive in·. nature, los s of purchas ing power would be a
crippl ing blow to the already low standard of living of t he
poor family .
We urge the Ge orgia Assemb l y to reject any pla n s which would
increase the tax burden of the poor in our state.

�HEALTH SUB-COMMITTEE RECO.MJ.'1ENDATIONS
The most critical problem facing many of the poor is the
absence of health services. Before an individual can hold a
job or keep one he or she must have good health. Our older
people require better health services and the very young in
poor families. Existing health services meet only a fraction
of the need of poor people.
We recommend:
1.
That Fulton County start a visiting nurse_service for
the many elderly and bedfast who cannot get to Grady
Hospital.
2.
That some d e c e n t ralization of the h e alth services
now availabl e at Grady b e unde rtak e n to mak e them
more accessible to people and to attempt to ease
the ove rcrowding there.
3.
Enfor c e the city code which r e quir e s that ambulance s
b e staf fed b y a doctor, a r egis tered nurs e , or a p e rson wi t h Re d c~6ss First Aid tra ining. Extend the
code to cov er the counti e s which do not have requirements.
�TRA..~SPORTATION SUB-COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
The poor recognize as does the general public the need for
transportation. In fac~, the poor lives with this recognition
each day as we leave our homes in the early hours of the morning
and return lat e in the evening. It is we who are forced to use
public transportation and who are sometimes prevented from seeking
better jobs because of the lack of transportation. We want better
transportation, even Rapid Transit, if it planned in such a way
th at our needs a r e met just like the other groups i~ the a re a .
1.
The Ge orgia St ate Legislature is c alled upon to pass the
following:
a.
Increase representation on the Rapid Transit Bo ard .
b.
Revise the Rapid Transit program to mee t the needs o f
the poor p e ople .
c.
Offer new referendum to voters on rapid transi't.
d.
P2 rmit sal e s of s t ock to r a is e fun ds instead of
increasing property tax .
e.
Consider a p ayroll tax for Rapid Transit.
f.
Supply tr ansp or t ation for special schools (He adst a rt ,
Follow-Through, and othe r schools that de a ls with
me nt a lly i l l and physically r e t ard e d childr e n ) .
�HOME MANAGEMENT SUB-CO~t~ ITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS
The Poor are often the prey of unscrupulous merchants or
salesmen. Exorb1tant interest rates on items purchased or
inferior quality 6f goods and services are frequently found
in our low income n e ighborhoods. These practices must be stopped.
1.
We ask that the State of Georgia establish a consumer
protection agency to gather facts and evidence against merchants of all types who knowingly cheat and swindle customers with inferior merchandise, foods, and hidden or unfair
credit practices. _That this age ncy make this informa tion
avail ab le to cons ume rs a nd u se it, too, to advis e Ge or gia
Lawmak e r s of needed change s in state laws.
2.
That a law b e passed r e quiring full, total, itemized and
final c red it costs b e written out imme diately above the
place wh e r e t he consumer ·mu st s ign cont racts, for loans,
s e rvic es , o r goods . That th ese cos t s al s o b e r ead al oud
