iL,022 units proposed did not materialize, of which 8,056 were shown in the previous report of Jan. 15, 1968 and 2,966 additional
units are listed in this report, as Lost. (The majority of these losses were due to disapprovals of sites and proposed rezoning.)
Proposed locations for low-cost housing are coordinated through the Planning Dept., for adequacy of Community Facilities, existing

An engineering firm from Savannah, McNamara & Associates, Consulting Engineers, has recently made presentations in Atlanta of a
"patent applied for" low-cost housing method of construction with flexible design, which is claimed can be constructed quickly on
site, employing mostly untrained labor and at a savings of 10%-15% under conventional construction. This firm established
connections with a reputable construction firm in Atlanta and a local architect. This team is anxious to acquire a 10 acre tract
in the Model Cities area to construct an experimental Housing project.
The Travelers Insurance Company has agreed to finance 70 or more new single family low-cost houses in the Thomasville Urban Renewal
project area under the FHA 221 D (2) insured mortgage program. Equitable has made $1,000,000 available to Atlanta Mortgage Brokerag¢
Co. for financing low-cost homes at favorable rates. ae
In view of difficulties encountered in zoning and getting other approvals on sites proposed for large multi-family developments,
it is apparent that the Low-income Housing Program will have to lean heavily on Developers and Builders providing a substantial
portion of the requirements on small scattered sites, with or without Federal assistance.
No proposal had yet been made for construction of units (even efficiency or 1 bedroom) to rent or sell for as low as $50 per month,
although the London Towne Houses, a,221 d (3) co-op development now under construction, is pushing this close, with its one
bedroom unit advertised to sell for $59 per month. The City's greatest need is in the $30-$50 per month rental-purchase range.
Richard L. Fullerton Associates has proposed a fibre glass "manufactured" patented process, 3 bedroom and bath house (900 sq. ft.
& car port) with w-to-w carpeting and air conditioning, which he claims can sell for $9,000-$9,500, including land estimated to
cost $1,500.
National Homes Corp. of Lafayette, Inc. placed on the market Fab. 1, 1967 a 800--900 S.F. (0.S. dimensions) 3 bedrooms, prefabricate
preassembled panel, single family house plus a 96 S.F. (1.S. dimensions) storage building manufactured by Arrow Metal Products Corp.|
to sell under FHA 221 d (2). Price includes plumbing, electrical, heating units, stove & refrigerator. Houses can be completely
assembled in 85 man hours; 72 of these (with conventional plumbing) are being erected (pre-sold) in the Thomasville Urban Renewal
Area. Approx. 800 sq. ft. house is priced at $11,200; 900 sq. ft. house is priced at $11,600, Adrian Homes Cor. has proposed a
prefab to retail for about $7,500 plus land, foundation, closing and possible tapping fees. Other prefab distributors and convent-
ional builders have interesting potential houses to offer but, because of fear of local Codes difficulties, are not producing single
family houses in Atlanta to sell in the $10,000-$12,500 range for which there is a strong demand and market. Perhaps the greatest
difficulty is availability of suitably priced land within the City Limits. Economics for this price range sales housing require
land which will not cost the developer more than $1500.per unit. (A 5,000 sq. ft. lot is considered ample for this type house.)
Ralph L. Dickey of Atlanta has proposed'a non-profit revolving fund enterprise to acquire substandard housing, renovate it and rese]
primarily through private enterprise. CACUR recently formed a non-profit corporation to rehabilitate exisint units under 221 (h)..
Morris Brown College is another such sponsor. North West Community Forum has also filed applications for > 4 projects under 221 (h)
