Dear Mr. Wofford:

Subject: Project No. Ga. M-1, Central City South Area
Report on Relocation of Families and Individuals
for Period Ended December 31, 1968
Form BUD-6149A

This fe a request for additional information concerning the subject
report transmitted with your letter of January 21, 1969.

Tt is noted that the report shows about 50% of the families removed
from the workload as having woved to substandard housing or disappeared.
A higher proportion of individuals are alse reported in such categories.

Please indicate the reasons for this end the steps which will be taken

to reduce thie number and improve the outlook for satisfactory performance.
If any of the families reported in these categories were not provided with
informational materiale or referred to standard housing they should remain
in the workload (line 12) until additional assistance is provided.

It is also noted thet none of the displacees received Relocation Adjustment
Payments. Since all were eligible by income for low-rent public housing,

it would be expected that at least some of those who moved to standard private
housing would have been eligible for such payments unless they refused to

apply for public housing. If the Housing Authority wae unable to house
eligible displacees within a reasonable period of time after they applied, it
would be expected that the families or elderly displacees would claim such
payments had they been properly notified of the availability of such assistance.
Please indicate whether the displacees received informational materials or
statements describing the relocation assistance and types of payments available.




Please alse attech the explanation called fer in lines 11 and 24 for
"Others."

If your review of the circumstances surrounding these cases indicates

a change in the report would be in order, please include a revised report
with your reply.

If we may be of any assistance in this matter, please advise.

Sincerely yours,

Johan T. Edmunds
