ment efforts in every current NDP rehabilitation action area within
the Model Neighborhood Area. Current enforcement cases in action
areas which are under review by the Housing Code Division will be
referred to the Atlanta Housing Authority with copies of case
histories. Consideration of possible three percent loans or grants
will then be made by the Authority. If the AHA is unable to obtain
satisfactory rehabilitation of properties so considered, then
documented case histories will be referred to the City Building
Department for continuation and further enforcement procedures.
