MALCOLM D. JONES
Housing Coordinator
MEMORANDUM
FTO: Mr. Cecil A, Alexander, Chairman
Housing Resources Committee
Attached is the most complete documentation that I have seen anywhere
on getting a normal Turnkey project into execution - 23 months and 2 days
elapsed from date of first official contact by Developer with Housing Authority
until contract was actually executed,
This resume! documentation was prepared and submitted at my specific
request, It should make an excellent case study:
a. From concept to obtaining final Zoning approval
required 8 months,
Bs From Zoning approval to receipt by Developer of
Letter of Intent required 9 months additional,
Cs From Letter of Intent to actual signing of contract
with Housing Authority required 6 months additional,
d. Total elapsed time from original contact with Housing
Authority to actual securing of contract with Housing
Authority was 23 months and 2 days, with 10 days additional
in which to start construction,
This is not a large or complicated project; only 160 units, I know from
constant contact with Developer that he proceeded in a methodical businesslike
manner and did not let any grass grow under his feet unnecessarily.
Step by step procedure and length of time involved is amply documented
in the attached chronology.

Suggest that copies of the attached be provided Region III of HUD, Urban
America and NAHRO for study and analysis, with view toward simplifying procedure
and reducing time required to process applications and get proposed Turnkey
projects into execution,
Sincerely,
