HUD ISSUES PAMPHLET
ON MODEL CITIES PROGRAM
What is a Model City and where does the money for a Model
Cities program come from?
Answers to these and other questions concerning the Model Cities
program are contained in a 19-page, Spanish leaflet published by the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The Model Cities program, administered by HUD's Model Cities
Administration, is designed to concentrate public and private resources
in a comprehensive five-year attack on the social, economic, and
physical problems of slum and blighted neighborhoods.
Authorized by Title I of the Demonstretion Cities and Metropolitan
Development Act of 1966, the program seeks to upgrade the total
environment of such neighborhoods and significantly improve the
lives of residents.
The pamphlet reports that 150 cities and counties in 45 States,
the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico had received Model Cities
planning grants by the end of 1968.
Copies of the publication, titled "El Programa De Las Ciudades
Modelo Preguntas Y Respuetas", may be obtained without charge
from Consumer Relations, Department of Housing and Urban
Development, Washington, D.C. 20410.
