ST. LOUIS, Feb. 4-Almost
2,000 tenant families of the
largest public housing development here are preparing for a
rent strike March 1 against the
Public Housing Authority in an
effort to force major improvements in living conditions.
Tenant spokesmen who set
the strike deadline said the alternative to over-all upgrading
of the huge development is
widespread rioting. Tenants r e£erred to " another Watts" and
some teen-agers told a reporter,
" It's corning, man , it's coming

Involved in the dispute are the
Pruitt homes and the Igoe

housing complex about two

They are operated by the housing authority for low-income
tenants.

Information on existing projects and projects in planning was obtained from
the Atlanta Housing Authority. Tre Housing Code Section of the Building Department,
Atlanta Youth Council and the Planning Department collaborated on site l ocation.
1.
PROJECTS UNDERWAY
Perry Homes
A 140 unit public housing addition to Perry Homes is now in the fi aa l stage
of working drawings and specifications which should be going out to bid by the end
of 1966. The addition contains large 3, 4 and 5 bedroom units situated across
Proctor Creek from the existing project and adjacent to the Gun Club par.k site now
under development. A bridge across Proctor Creek linking the existing a nd proposed
projects has recently been completed by the city.
Units are expected to be available by July or August, 1968.
No community facilities are being made available within the addit i on but t wo
rooms will be added to . the existing Community building across Proctor Creek in the
existing Perry Homes project. Schools in the area arl operating at cap~city
enrollment now. The proposed elementary school in the Rockdale project is expected
to relieve the situation but is not yet funded.
Local shopping facilities are also badly lacking in the area.
Thomasville
Three hundred and fifty units of Publi c Housing , 16 of which wil l be f or t he
elder ly, are now in the "schematic design stage". Plans are _scheduled f or comp l et ion
in February , 1967. The project will be executed in stages with the fi rs t uni t s
comp leted by May or June, 1968.
Si t uated in the Thomasville U.R.A . , north of McDono ugh Road and south of t he
proposed right-of-way for the Lakewood Ext ension (Expressway), this pr oje c t will
become a part of the Thomasville Community . Dobbs Element a ry School whe.re
Thomasville children attend is op~rating at capacity e nrollment, which me a ns t hat

Completion dates are scheduled as follows:
248 units - October 1967
402 units - March 1968
650 units (including elderly) - October 1968
A community building will have day care facilities and auditorium space
divisable into smaller rooms. The high-rise for the elderly has space for social
activities, arts, crafts and meeting rooms.
An elementary school and park will be built adjacent to the -project. An
architect has been hired for the school which is expected to be finished in two
years.
2.
PROJECTS IN PLANNING
Rockdale
Recent interest in the development of 22l(d)(3) housing in the Rockdale U.R.A.
has prompted the city's Planning Department and Housing Authority to produce a new
development plan for the Rockdale Project which has been predicated on the principle
of cluster development to make best use of the rough topography.
The amendment to the project has been completed. It is expected that the land
can be offered in December 1966 and close March 1, 1967.
The Rockdale Project will add 1500 units to the low income housing market, but
due to F.H.A.'s unwillingness to finance more than 150 units at a time it could take
at least ten years to complete the project.
Existing Rockdale Elementary School expansion for 500 pupils and a proposed
elementary school for 1,000, neither of which have been funded, will serve pupils
both inside and outside the project. An existing Health Center in the project will
continue to serve the area.
Pub 1 ic Rousing
Housing Assistance Administration (formerly P.H.A.) has approved a reservation
for 1200 Public Housing units and 300 units under the new Low-Rent Leasing Program
for Atlanta's relocation needs. Units will be divided between the four Urban
Renewal projects now in various planning stages - Bedford-Pine, East Atlanta, Vine
City and Cooper-Glenn. Each one of the projects is being planned with a full
complement of community facilities to serve the housing, educational, recreational,
and social needs of the people. Each one of the proposed Urban Renewal areas
except East Atlanta is to get a Community School whi·c h will provide city recreational,
social and educational services as well as space for E.O.A. neighborhood programs.
22l(d)(3)
A number of 22l(d)(3) projects are in the planning stage:
(a)
The Atlanta Housing Authority is offering thirteen acres at Hu nt e r
Street and Northside Drive in the University Center U.R.A. to p rovide
260 units.
(b)
The Atlanta Housing Authority i s a lso ready to offer a 7. 5 a c r ,.! s .Lte
between Capitol Homes a nd I-20 Ea st which would provide 122 111' i. ts .
(c)
A third stage of Wheat Stree t Gardens in the Butler Street
provide an additional 149 units of low rent housing .

A number of other sites are under private negotiation for
22l(d)(3) housing.
3.
PROPOSED SITES (See Map - Low Income Housing Sites)
Inf<?rmation on vacant property obtained from C.I.P. data has been plo tted and
40 sites have been located varying in size from 1.5 acres up to 112 acres, totaling
809 acres+. Locations with acreages appear in Table I. Each of these sites needs
study in greater detail to obtain information on the following and other items so
that intelligent decisions can be made.
Topography
Utilities
Community Facilities
Transportation
Zoning
Employment Market
Housing Market
Adjoining Land Use.
Environmental Factors
Desires of potential residents
Housing on any site should not be considered until each one of these items
has been thoroughly studied.
4.
LOW-RENT HOUSING PROPOSALS
Table II indicates that the six Urban Renewal Areas now in various planning
stages will produce a relocation load of 7025 families now living in substandard
housing. In addition to this, if all families which the CIP has found to be in
structurally and environmentally substandard housing were provided standard housing,
25,000 housing units would have to be provided for low-income families. This is a
monumental task, one which will require not only new concepts and techniques but
also financial resources ($362,500,000.00 based on the current net cost, $14,500.00
of public housing units).
The question of whether the city can afford such a program must be weighed
against whether the city can afford the waste of human resources and human dignity
as well as the implied dangers in the ever widening gap between the poverty ridden
and the middle and upper income group . It has been proved over. and over again that
most social problems come out of the slum environments - the crime rate and the
records of jails and mental institutions testify to this.
It is important that the emphasis of any new program be dire cted toward upgrading the individual, not just building up an inventory of housing. To have any
real value, programs to improve housing conditions must be coordinated with programs
to improve the educational, vocational, social and economic potential of the poor.
It is obvious from the attached Table III that the city is going t o need a
greatly expanded low-income housing program i n order to come up with 5,000 new units
immediately. It is also obvious that new concepts and new techniques of designing
and constructing low-income housing should be explored if we are ever going to be
able to meet relocation and migration needs.
Explore High-Rise Needs Objectively
Study the use of the high-rise apartment buildings as a part of the total
housing program. There are problems involved in the use of high-rise but
many
such as play space, elevators, corridors, lighting, private space and acoustics
can be reso lved through good design and a feeling on behalf of everyone involved
that the environment should be one in which people can maintain t he ir individual ity;
where pride and self-respect can be built, not degraded; and where corrnnunicat i on
between the resident, management and the city are in good working order. Facilities
to improve the socio-economic situation of low income people must be bui lt into the
�.

program or else another "ghetto" is the result. The design and location of high
rise should take into consideration whether single people, young married couples,
the elderly or families with children are being accommodated. Community facilities
would be different in each case. Transportation is another important factor.
Excerpts from various publications are inserted in the Appendix to point out
some of the advantages and problems which are a part of high-rise living.
The open-corridor scheme for high-rise living has many advantages over the
inner-corridor and is particularly suited .to our climate. The use of escalators,
utilization of roof and yard space, underground parking, common facilities and
management all need open-minded investigation.
Develop High-Rise over Stadium Parking
A proposal which deserves study is the development of high-rise apartments
over the parking area east of the Atlanta Stadium. Parking decks which take
advantage of the thirty-foot drop in grade between Fulton St. and Georgia Ave.
could provide the additional parking needed for the stadium as well as parking
for the apartments. Such a scheme would provide apartments for young working
people and the elderly. The site has excellent access to transportation and
the downtown and would create a good relocation resource.
Use Pre-Fab to Cut Construction Time
Pre-Fab techniques for housing have been used successfully in many nations.
For a number of reasons - lack of interest , conservatism and preservation of the
status-quo by labor, real estate developers and builders - pre-fabing has been
held back in the U.S.A. However, it is being used to solve low-income housing
needs- in Miami, Fiorida; Michigan City, Indiana; Rapid City, South Dakota and
Chicago, Illinois. Grants are available from the Federal government to_ underwrite pre-fab demonstrations.
Pre-fabs have a number of advantages:
(a)
Faster construction.
(b)
Ease of maintenance by the use of concrete and other low
maintenance materials.
(c)
Achievement of variety by the arrangement of wall panels ,
window openings, balconies, etc.
(d)
Machine-made components with close quality control produ ce
a product superior to that of conventionally built housi ng .
Pre-fab construction has no cost advantage; however, savings are r eported
in maintenance. The great advantage is in faster con~truction which makes up
a good part of Atlanta's problem.
Use Small Sites
The city should expand its thinking to encompass development of low-income
housing on small sites of one acre minimum. This approach might incre~se
administrative work but if we are really seri ous about solving our hou sing
problems, the program must be one which encompasses a wide variety of solut ions not just the typical large public housing development whose drawbacks are we ll
known.
(a)
Loss of identity.
(b)
Social and economic segregation.

(c)
11-21-66
Ins titutionalized appea r ance of the project (an area s et
apart for a segregated group)
Eve ry e f fort should be made to make the low-income housing a part of the
ne ighborhood.
Use Mobile Homes to Create Instant Housing
The use of Mobile Homes should be given study. They provide a ch eap way of
f urni shi ng limited housing which has the -great advantages of speed, sma ll site
deve l opment costs and mobility.
Use Rehabilitation Whenever Possible
Methods should be developed to use rehabilitation of existing structures to
a greater extent. Rehabilitation has the three distinct advantages of not adding
to the relocation load, improving the environment of existing neighborhoods, as
well as the pride and involvement of the people. Such a program requires a close
working relationship between the city and the people as well as a willingness on
behalf of the city to adopt new methods of dealing with such problems as:
-
Redevelopment of small lots
Provision of open space
Community facilities
Community relations
Financing
Use Cooperative Home Building to Give Vocational Training and Resident Participation
Another idea which needs exploring to add greater flexibility to our housing
program is the enlisting of help from neighborhood people to help in building
their homes or apartments. Such a program would be feasible if Pre-Fab techniques
were used and would give the people a sense of pride and responsibility in their
homes and neighborhood.
The cooperative could be set up so that the rent paid would actually go
t oward the purchase of the home or apartment if the people so desired. In
di l apidated areas of owner occupied property, land might be pooled for cooperative
building.
Enlist Support of Non-Profit Organizations and Foundations
Non-profit organizations should be sought out and a meeting called to acquaint
t hem wi th the housing needs of the city and advise them of the various programs
avai l ab le in the low-income housing field.
5.
FINANCING OF LOO- INCOME HOUSING
Financ i ng for low-income housing i s available by a number of methods:





Federal
22l(d)(3)
Public Housing
Turnkey
Acquisition and Rehabilitation
Rent Suppleme n t
Leasing





These programs are covered in Se c tions 106 , 107, 116 , 117 and 120 o f Fede ral
Aids to Local Governme nts .

City financing
Public and private partnership
Private
Private foundations
Cooperatives
Public and private partnership
Low-income families should be able to buy their own homes or apart ment units
by making payments in lieu of rent. The city needs to explore financing which
would allow people to remain in their homes even when their incomes rise above a
certain level.
6.
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
A.
This report will accomplish a great deal if it does no more than suggest
some really exciting poss·ibilities and techniques for low-income housing,
and stress the need to develop a program.
B.
Ideas have been suggested, some of which may be out of the que s tion. It
is necessary, however, to explore every idea. The following procedures
are recommended for developing solutions to the problem:
1.
Organize a brain storming session which would include imag.i. na tive
professionals, city officials and citizens in the low-income gr oup
to suggest and refine ideas.
2.
A slide presentation should be made to city officials, private
developers and others to show them the latest and most imag inative
solutions to low-income housing.
3.
As a follow-up to the Housing Conference, appoint key priva te
developers and architect-planners and sociologists to a committee
for effecting the production of low-income housing.
The committees could be organized according to the various hous ing
proposals. Suggested chairmen and committees are as foll m, s :
Chairmen
Developers:
Charles Ackerman
Tom Cousins
John Portman
Architect-Planners:
Joe Amisano
John Gould
Paul Muldawer
Alan Salzman
Ike Saporta
Andrew Steiner
Committe e .
High-ri s e
Pre-fab
Mobile Homes
22l(d)( 3 )
Rehabil itation
Cooperat i ves
Sociologists: ·
Jack Schmidt
The above represent a nucleus for a list.
Community service should be s tressed because some of the p1~o j ects
may have limited profit potential. Call attention to the ·ac t that
if private development does not build this housing, public ho using
will take over the low income market.

Chairmen would appoint their own committees which would constitute
subcomrnittees under the general cha irmanship of the Housing Resources
Committee.
The city would provide staff and research facilities for the various
comrnittees,
c.
There are 4,645 low-income housing units scheduled for completion over
the next five-plus years, which is a long way from the immediate need
of 5000 units.
D.
A large resource of vacant land (over 800 acres) has been located for
additional study.
E.
Make it possible for the city to buy vacant land for low-income housing
in advance of actual need.
F.
A well planned program cannot be put together overnight. Hast e could
result in a lasting mistake that the city would pay for in huma n
problems.
G.
The planning of a low-income housing program for Atlanta to at t ack the
total problem, not just increase the housing inventory, should be started
immediately. The program should seek to do the following:
-
Outline goals.
Study existing and new kinds of financing.
Better site plans.
Integrate housing with existing neighborhoods and study
techniques for this purpose.
Study management problems.
Study tenant and ownership problems.
Plan urban renewal and low-income housing together for
a fifteen year period.
Develop an inventory of low-income housing sites and re :;e rve
them for future use.
Develop a program which is based on many different types of
projects and housing techniques so that the city can d r aw
from a wide resource base and at the same time give l m, income people the kind of acconnnodation which is best
suited to their needs.

Today :m increasing number of families are,
or even tually will be, liYing in hig h -rise :ipartment bui ldings. Our exper ience clea rly i11dic:ites that such an enYi ronmcnt sometimes .
brings for th unusual family and m anagemen t
problems which thus far have not been adequately delineated and analyzed.
This repo rt is a compilation a nd eva luation of
the responses of local housing authorities, experienced in high-ri,:e design and m a nagement,
to questionnaires and inter views. It is neither
a statement of Public H ousing Administration
policy nor a set of standards. Nevertheless, I
believe it wi ll prom helpful not only to local
housing authorities, their architects and managers, but to all who may be c onsidering the use
of high-rise structures fo r fam ily living.

rban living is more and more the pattern of modern life all over
the world. The tall el evator-serviced apartment house rises
up in tiny Italian towns, in new cities of India, in P aris suburbs, and
not the least in the United States, author of the skyscraper.
H ousing authorities faced with high land costs are of necessi ty providing elevator buildings at least for part of their inventor y. T hey
are p ersuaded that not all design techniques used successfully in rowh ouse and walkup. a partment buildings are appropriate fo r high
structures.
The accompanying report contains suggestions, in large part provided
by these ingenious _a uthorities, that make for case and econ omy in
long-term management practice and in family satisfaction and cooperation.
It is not to be taken as a final word. Authorities look for a new
approach in the design of urban structures and tu rn to the architect
_for imagination and invention, tempered by a practical knowledge of
problems inherent in densely occupied bui lding groups.
Public housing developments are not in their nature "institutions" and
need not look or feel as if they were. They arc built for people. Their
design must call forth people's interest, acceptance and understand ing,
must stimulat e their iuiti ative, and meet their social r equirements.
Nadi ne Gordimer, South African author, has said in another context,
"An utterly impossible job-to improve th e liYing cond itions and
morals of people while at the same time stifling their opinions and
taking away from them any responsibility for their own destiny" .
Authorities are concerned with techniques that will result in a "possible" job. This report offers suggestions toward that end. Its purpose is to supply a fo undation of exp erience upon -ivhich the a rchitect
will build h is own New Jerusalem in a " green and pleasant land'"O

ElcYator-ser\'iced buildings, 16, 20 stories, and eYen higher, are becoming a necessary part of the supply of "decent, safe and sanitary"
housing within the framework of community de,·clopment.
Renewal schemes in rundown city areas and new high ways slicing
thro ugh the outskirts result in masses of families turned loose, many
of whom must be accommodated in public housing developments.
Also the impact of in-migration from the countryside, and the notable
increase of individual family size are as well kno wn to architects as
to sociologists.
This r eport will acquaint architects with some difficulties encountered
in tall b uildings popula ted by fa milies many of ,rhom lived formerly
in decrepit city slums a nd by others unused to urban living.
All la rge-scale housing developments have complex problems, but there
are certain ones that characterize h igh-rise buildings and require
special thought for solution. Chief among these are:
1. Separation from the ground. Babies and small children need
sunny play space close to their mothers; p arents and older children want the equivalent of a nea rby porch _for informal gatherings, relaxation, and for making the acquaintance of new friends.
2. Loss of identity, as well as a sense of pressure in the multiplefa mily floor of a ma ny-familied structure. Ranks of pigeonhole
dwellings close together make difficulties boLh for the gregarious
and fo r those who cherish privacy. The first type misses opportu nity for self-expression in the impersonal trafficways of narrow
corridors and c rowded elevators; the second is oppressed by the
closeness of his many neighbors.
Different, and someti mes conflicting, solutions are here offered to the
a rchitect fo r his di scri minati ng evaluation.
The report also contains notes of experiments now being discussed by
authorities to further increase orderly managemen t of the property,
resulting in tena nt sati sfa d ion an d consequent accicp lancc of rcsponsil1il ity for th e fabric of the b uildings.
The a rc hitect will need to visit exi sting developme n ts, both with authority personnel and by himself, fo r firstha nd obs;erva tion. He will
rel'icw ho using puhlicati o11s and guides. He will S'lud y the results of
experimental schemes ancl demo nstration buildings as they develop,
such as parki ng troughs al Flemingdon P a rk, To1i<1rnto, or the forthcoming Pratt Institute (l3rooklyn ) stud y of·constrUiction methods that
is sponsored by the HHFA. He will not scorn 311)7 scrap of practical
in formation.
Architects and authority staff must work closely tog;,ether from the first
sketches to the "As-l3ui lt" drawings. The authori'ti.J ' supplies detailed
man agement experience, knowledge of the market, a nd iLs own official
relaLions with city departments and ,community o.rganizations. The
a rchitect should aid in developing the program a-n d offer a physical
translatio;1 of it. · He provides experience with 1t1ew materials and
construction methods, and an inventive attack on ]Problems p osed by
the authority. He will stress the importan ce of goo d workm anship as
well as approp riate materials.
Both architect a nd a uthority sliould make use of tfu.e social scientists'
contributi on. For one example, a French study o.f workers' families
showed that people with less than 8-10 s1.1uare moeters of space per
person had twice as many · social and physical diisor ders than those
with 10-14, meters.1
Both must have clearly in min<l the encl client, the: t enant famil y. No
development is better than its 1Y1anagcrnent but, eq mially, no good management is possible without tenant cooperation iill the techniques of
apaTtment living. One authority has a slogan, "Oenr,onstrate to tenants
that management cares : tenants will care."
Public housing has its own traditions, properly Jbased on the need
for rigid economy, both in capital costs and maimtenance expenses.
But, as M. Roland of the P aris Opera said rccent~y , " How agreeable
it is and how necessary to break intelligently w ith tradition and
routine".

INTRODUCTIO ~
l;
'
The first view off ,a housin g developm ent gi ves tenant and visitor alike
a strong impression, whether or not it is a conscious one. This is
particularly true of groups of tall buildin gs where greenery cannot
disguise a11d sofu.cn building sh apes and positions. The high masses
dominate the scene.
A simple pattenn of well-spaced structures comfortably set in landscaped grounds, ,m ay be allaincd in many different ways. A study
model with movmble buildings ca n be advantageous to architect and
authority during the first phases of design. Some architects think
themselves fort =a te if a combin ation of hi gh and low buildings is
contemplated, w, ether attached or separated, as it gives th em scope in
the overall design. This, of course, mu st be justified by land cost and
subsoil conditioms and by the benefit gained by housing large families
near the groun d!..
On e-story extens:iions or separate low buildin gs for managementmaintenance offic es, community spa ces, for a row of shops, even for
a school ( the aull:lh ority will no doubt explore th at J)Ossibility with the
local board of ed!:ucalion) , all th ese break up vertical masses an d provid e eye-level atecents.
Among the 12 '"A spects of Quality" listed by Hobert Katz, the 2 th at
he thi nks most neglected arc " bl endin g into the neighb orh oo d" and
"individu ality. " Mr. Katz also heli cvcs that a livabl e design should
be, so far as is p ossible, based on a specific program with allowa nce
for future adapt a tion .1

SITE DESIG N
Architects stud yin g occupied developmen ts will do well to make some
visits on rainy days. A pool here or a p uddle there wit nesses insufficient study of drainage requirements and of the ground settlement
to be expected.
Th ey may also fin d, in any weather, tenant- made or even staff-made
walks no t in th e original desig n, or an uninYiting amount of expensiYe
chain-li nk fe ncing.
Publi c streets within the site are unh and y for easy tenant circulation
and arc un sa fe in deYcl opments tccm iug with children. Private streets
protec ted hr movable stanchi ons will take ca re of maint enance trucks,
moving rnns, or emergen cy vehicles for bu il dings within the site.
Auth oriti es prefe r, if possib le, to have bu il ding entrances nea r public
streets.

�Suggestions
a. Walks planned \l'here people need and \\·::int to go; e.g., direct
access from buildings to public sln ·ets, tr:rnsporla li on stops,
school~, shops, as \l'cll ::is conn:11ie11L patlnrnys to playgrounds
and to all entrances wi thin the site.
Lawns rai~ctl 18 inches or so aLo YC rnrroumling g r::iclc, sometimes higher to form a ,rinclbrcak for benches set ::igainst the

b. Entr::inces planned to ::tYoid cross-tr::inic concentration.
· Walks from entrances designed as a "horn of plenty" to accomrnod::ite the outrush of .children.
c. Walks curYed a t intcrsectio.ns.
Radii designed for snow-removal machinery in cold climates.
NOTE: A heating tunnel under main. walk1rnys is said to pay for
itself in. ease of repairing lines and in l01veri11 g snow removal
cost.s.
cl. Concrete w::ilks as well as asphalt, each defi ning certain uses.
Colored concrete patterns in nrnlls and play spaces to provide
play material and interest.
Walks edged with cobbles or bricks set in cement.
Curbs designed to avoid trimming grass by hand.
e. Tllrf or gr oun d coyer on steep slopes.
Drain basins ·with top masonry courses that can be raised or
lowered easily if unexpected settlement or heaving occurs.
Raised lawn areas.
f. . fassed shrub beds have built-in protection.
Thorny bushes are more effective th an "Keep OfI" signs.
The budget for trees is better spent on reasonably well-g rown
ones than on a larger number of small trees.
Ex isti ng trees stand up best of all when site design can incorporate them.
Vines on building walls add to the supply of greener y at little
expense and keep children fr om marking walls.
Flower beds to be used in competitions between old and young
tenants or residents of different buildings stimulate r espect for
a ll plant material.
Garden plots for vegetables are successful in some areas.

PARKING
Open µarki ng lots demand close a ttention during site design if they
arc not to clraw too much a ttention in the fini shed development. They
should be near public streets to avoid expensive heavy-duty access
roads. They should be away from buildings to keep noise and fumes
from dwellings. Decision between scattered lots and fewer larger ones

Sugg e stions
a. Study of amount of open space fo r tenant needs unencumbered

.
Waivers from citywide r egulations for the ratio of cars to families, if less need is demonstrable.
Parking under buildings, or in troughs covered by walks and
play spaces, :lo economize on land use and to separate cars from
people, both for safety and a ppearancc.
Carports with playgrounds on the roofs, for the same r easons.
NOTE: Bnilding entrances near public streets diminish the need
for visitors' parking space.
b . Fencing to k-cep children from pelting through the parking lot.
c. Thick shrub planting and bushy trees surrounding parking lots
to hide ,cars from view and t o counteract fu mes.
H ardy vines o n fences in northern climates to prolong protection.
Parking lots s lightly lower tha n surrounding grade level, whether
by taking advantage of natural terrain or by short ramps, to
diminish noj se.
d. Signs warning outsiders that Lheir cars will be towed away.
T ags issued to residents.

These play spaces should he near entrances, but not so near as to interfere with normal traffic. They afford also gay accents througi1 br ig htly
colored benches and play equipmen t. Architects should insist on
proYiding the color scheme for playground equipment so that it will
complement and enhance overall design.
A large playground for older children and their parer.ts is planned
if a city park or playground is not nearby. Sometimes it is designed
according to park department standards, built by the a utho rity, and
run by the park department. If not, an open area largP. enough for
softball games and equipped with basketball standa rds, parallel ba rs,
shuffie board markings, etc., will be needed. A running track of four
laps to the mile could border the space for many such acth·ities and
will itself be a popular attraction.
The large playground can be a useful counter to mischief resulting
fr om teenage energy.
Chief Justice Clark has r emarked that, "Most boys would 1:ather steal
secon d base than steal a bicycle."
Paths for bicycle ridi ng and roller skating are needed away from
pedestrian ways, to avoid noise and accidents. It has been observed
th at a sign, "No Bicycle Riding," is appar ently illegible to a boy who
has no other track than the pedestrian way in which to show off his
speed and daring.
Existing rock outcrops that lend themselves to play add an economical
b onus.
Spray pools are welcomed in warm weather. Integral or a pplied color,
e.g., swimming pool blue, in the concrete dish adds cheerfulness. The
pool can be used as a skating rink in winter.

INTRODUCTION
A lively, welcoming entrance encourages good manners from tenants
as much as it delights a visitor. The simplest design for easy, safe
access, fortun a tely, provides esthetic possibilities that architects will
take advantage of.
E asy approach to a well-defined and well-lighted door way prevents
accidents; a canopy protects from weather and fr om fa lling objects ;
smooth panels framing the entrance can be cleaned easily, house
numbers must be legible from the strert, and so m ust directional signs
for buildings that do not face the street.
NOTE : Architects should be consulted on the design of all major
signs used in the development, including any found necessary after the
buildings a.re occup ied, for example, a community building title or a
parking lot warning, to preserve unity of color and lettering.
Thus rational design provides the ingredients for an impressive and
pleasant gateway: a wide, canopi ed entrance that oilers a horizon tal
contrast to the vertical structure ; color and texture different from the
overall facing material; and attractive accents in house labels and light
fix tures.
Architects often ad opt some variation in entrance treatment for a
group of buildings to add sparkle to the picture.
Nonetheless, an entrance is only a passageway.
Benches or p arapets at the entrance platform will turn it into a bottlen eck. If steps are necessar y, a baby carriage ramp will speed traffic
and save wear and tear on vehicle and the mother's feelings. Sitting
areas a bit removed will draw away people who come out to take the
air, or tired shoppers who want to relax for a few moments outdoors
before attacking their housekeeping.

THE LOBBY
The lobby is ~ con co urse, a waiting place, a nd several tim es a day it
will°harbo r a traffi c jam. I mpatient children, tired parents, carc~free
messenger boys all belo ng here. All ,r ill leave their mark, \\"hcther
made by mu<ldy boots or lipsti ck decorations.
And an unguard ed lo bby may attract prowlers. l\fo st authorities decide on one or another type of patrol system for tha t r eason. It has
been suggested tha t a closed-circui t TV in stallation from lobby to
m anagement office would be useful. Some authorities think the idea
has a "Big Brother is Watching You" .conno tation. Others beli eve it
would g ive tenants a feeling of safety.
Inst allation cc,sts "-o uld be high and cou ld onl y be determined by a
study of bui ld ing location and layo ut, length of cable being an important facto r in costs. Strong illumination is r equired to project the
i mage. It seems doubtful th at the scheme would be practicable for
more than at most two buildings for one viewer, even if econom ical
to install and opera te. P erha ps the "Human Use of Hum an Beings"
on a face-to-face level works better than a remote g uard watching a
little box.

PUBLIC TOILET
A small public restroom ofI the lobby is considered desirable for
children in neighboring play spaces and for those waiting for an elevator during rush hours.
Diffi culties Encounte red
a. T oilets misused to the point that most of those provided have
been locked up.
h. Damage to fixtures.
Sug g estions
a. A new design , not yet perfected, rather like the European
urinoir," requiring little formal supervision, easily cleanable,
and with minimal fi xtures. Local codes must be satisfied.
b. Super vision during times most needed and otherwise locked.
Openable only hy staff or tenant key.
FURNI SHINGS
The practice of providing a lobby unheated and bare of furnish ings
will discourage, especially in northern cities, its use as a night shelter
for drifters. It may also discourage tenant ·p ride in the lobby, and
lack of interest in and resp onsibility for its appearance.
An increasing policy of locking entrance doors al night makes comfortable waiting space more feasible than if doors are open or removed
altogether.
Some authorities prefer small lobbies to discourage "loitering" among
ten ants and the attendant disturb ance to occupants of nearby dwellings.
Recent designs, however, often avoid dwellings near entrance lobbie:;,
using that space for laundr_ies, mail box rooms, a custodian's r.partment,

Other authorities believe a large lobby decreases traffic problems and
will consider space for game tables in some b uildings.
The appearance of lobbies in privately managed developments is considered of particular importance. It sets the tone of the building. No
doubt, pride in one's home i enjoyed also by tenants of public housing
where thought has ·been given lo provide a cheery, attracti\·c pace.
Architcc-ts can suggest st urd y furniture or orn amental objects to be
installed as an experiment.
A bench for m others wait ing for an elevator is hardly a luxury.
Neither is a wcll-de~in-ned hulk-t in board for tenant- or staff-supplied
notices of cnt ntain mc11ts, PTA meeting·, etc.
P adlocked ashtrays, a masonry f1 owcrbox, a candy vendi ng machine,
or other inexpensive attractions ,could be installed and later remon·d ·
12
�_,,____
if people took no interest in or care for them.
Caution: Vending m achines need cage protection, perhaps best set
into wall niches with padlocked gra tin g when no supervi sor is at hand.
And perhaps music could be broad c:ist in lobbies at ce rtain hou rs.
In any case, gay colors and patterns ca n be provid ed on wa ll s. The
Londo n County Council initi ated a success fu l prog ram Ly in viting
young artists to c ollabo rate with arc hi tects aml c p 11tracto rs in the
de,·elopment of new deco rat ive ,rn ll trea tm ents. The methods used
had to be practicable within limits of what contractors ,,ere geared to
accompli sh and at costs (side fr om a fee to the arti sts) within those
of the normal fac ing materia l replaced.
Gl ass mosaic tiles introduced into tiled wall s, preshaped wo od forms
provided for the concrete contractor, polyc~tcr r esin incised on chipb oard panels, photosta ti c m urals sprayed wit h plastic, wa ste wood and
b roke n t iles from the site debri s fi xed in polyester r esin, and many
other unusual, cheap and lastin g surfaces were inventcd. 1
Similar methods ham now been adopted in other British cities.
N"e1ghb oring comm unity h ouses might be happy to have their ceramic
classes design decorations to be built into lobby wa lls under the architect's super vision.

INTRODU CTION
The elevator i:s apparently the most fascinating bit of play equipment
that an indulgent authority ca n provid e fo r its children. Self-service
elevators, moreover, can be a source of trouble and danger on occasion.
No doubt the eleva tor is the chief reason for authoriti es' relucta nce to
proceed from ro,~house a nd walkup structures to tall apartm ent types.
Some managers report that children's curiosity in the workings of an
elevator wanes after several mon th s. One cannot count on this relief
in a high building bulging with children.
Peakloads at school lunchtime or at the en d of a school day, will fill the
lobby with hungry, excitable children . Staff or tenant committee
control is commonly adopted to prevent overcrowding and misuse.
Design to ease the need for control is also helpful.
Difficulties Encountered
a. Crowded elevators with exasperating waiting time.
b. Hatchway doors and bucks defaced; cab walls scratched; do or
shoes damaged.
c. Call buttons pull ed ofI ; flo or num erals scratched out.
d. Children ridin g on top of cab.
e. Urin ating on cab fl oor.
£. Confrontation with dangerou s strangers.
Su ggestions
a. Two eleva to rs side by side (for economy in controls and for
conveni ence) stopping a t all fl oors in build ings over six stories
high.
Elevators speed determined by calculating acceptable waiting
time in th e local community.
Provision of relay for rush hours so that the car's down travel
can be stopped onl y by a call button fr om the publi c corridor.
Sliding doors, to arnid accidents and to spL:ed service.
Attend ant opera tion for emergency use.
Car progress signals.
On e regular and one service elevator.
One elevator manned at rush hours.
A third elevator for rush hours and for bulky furniture.
b. Stainless-steel hatchwa y doors and bucks.
·steel fini shed with heayy plastic paint.
Metal shoes for leading door edges.
Patterned stainless-steel cab walls.
Vinyl tile fl oors, to resist urine stain.
Epoxy-cement flo oring.
c. Steel or heavy aluminum call buttons.
Floor numerals etched into car control panels.
d. Ceiling escape hatch openable from t op only if local codes allow.
Alarm bell to ring if hatch is opened.
e. See discussion of publi c toilet off the lobLy and of su ggestions
to interest ch ildren waiting for the thi rd or fourth appearance of
the elevator, on page 12.
f. Two p rotected lights in each cab ceiling.
Alarm bell designed so th at a hand must be pressed on the button
continu ously if it is to be silenced.
Automatic alarm that rin gs whenever a car stops between fl oors.
Gl ass or pla stic small windows in cab and hatchway door;;.
Intercom in ele\·a tor, conn ected to man agement office .
T ra nsp arent materi al for cab and ha tchway doors, where local
codes permit.

INTRODUCTION
Dift1 culti e s Encount e re d
The stretch of walkway fr om elevato r landing to :1 par t111ent d oor is a
"side1rnlk in the sk y," whether designecl as an open ga llery or an
in teri or corridor. T he open g a ller y is p referred hy some a11thorities.
T hey pra ise ease of s uper \'ision. They g iYc credit to th roug h dra ft
in dmJ lings and to the ach·a11 tagcs o f 11r igl1bnrly po rch li fe. They
poi nt out the lack of cooking od or s. T hey like the appeara nce 0 11 the
b uilding facade.
T he " porc h"' sp;1ce on galleries is best enj oyed by tenant s if there is a
fin or elongated column between each family's space. It p rovides a
place fo r chair or crib out of nor mal circulation a nd also defines each
fa m ily's a rea of r esponsibility. One adva ntage inherent in gallery
access design is that tenants ca n observe sources of no ise and litter
fr om their dwellings and can size up a neighbor wit hout contact, much
as if the apar tment wer e on a street.
Auth or ities, however, who prefer d ouble-loaded interior corridors
speak of plan economy, ease of all-weather cleaning, less traffic d isturbance, and better privacy within the dwelling. T hey note that local
codes in northern cities may r equire h eat in gallery Jloor slabs.

INTRODUCTION
The No. 2 enemy to calm living in an elevator apartment building is
the fire exit stair~..-a y : a convenient shelter for hoboes; a trystii1g spot
for r omantic adol escents; a perfect setting for smokcwriting, wall
cartoons, bonfires~ damage to lights and to firehose, etc.
Difficulties Enco tn.nfered
a. Need for con.slan t supervision.
b. Defacement ,of walls and stair soffils.
c. Light bulbs smashed or stolen; windows broken:
d. Firehose slashed and nozzles stolen; flood ing from valves
turned on by mischiefmakers.
e. Standpipes in windowed stai r ways fro zen in cold weather.
f. H andrails needing frequent repainting.

ROOF LAUN DR
-,f
f
fI
j
Some authorities •express interest in the idea of providing roof laundries. Examples found in pri vately m anaged buildings and in some
British "estates" bave been much enj oyed. At Carl Mackley Houses,
Philadelphi a, for example, where washing machines were later installed
on entrance floors , most of the r esidents still prefer to use th e roof.
Many women insist that open-air drying is desirable and take advant age of it wher e prnssiblc; witness not only r owhouse dryi ng yards but
also tenement hous e backyards gaily hung with clean clothi ng, as well
as P aris balconies simil a rly adorned in spite of large "Dcfendu" signs.
It is hard to under sta nd the horror some people have of this in nocent
manisfcstati on of m ban life. It might be considered as colorful and
appropriate as an lllmLrella on a beach.
The use of ro ofs for laundering, on the other hand, is looked at unfavorably by othe r authorities. Heavy-duty roof construction and
· protective harriers arc costly. Elevator traffic will in cr ease if a laundry
is not provided om every rooftop. Plumbing system requirements are
expensive sh ould a utomatic m ach ines be installed. Supervision of an
unattended la und'r y is more diffic ult on a roof than on an entrance
floor.
There are some answers to these obj ections. New types of roofin g arc
bringing down costs. Most cities r eq uire some roof-edge protection
wheth er or not tenants arc allowed on the r oof, and maintenance men
need it on high u ilclings even if it is not r equi red by code. Protection would, of course, have to he increased in height from that
usuall y supplied. P ro tective ha rr iers arc not so costly as solid construction on the e ntra nce fl oor, ,d 1crc space could be phnned for
la rge famili es with their own ent rances instead of for laundries. Use
of a roof laundry could he confined to the Luilding tenants hy mPans
of apa rtmenl.-ma~[,ercd keys. Tenant des ire for open-air dr yin g and
for clea n, brighr. surro undings would facili tate tenant -orga nized
control.

Ha lfway between tead1er-supervisccl roof pla ygro1:in d and the sumleck
watchetl uvc.; r by a willin g dde 1ly tenant, this type u I roof facility needs
a group ready to keep order and schedule events.
Authorities with successful experience with local c mm unity organizations and tenant commi ttees will k now \\here to fi nd such a group.
Competi tion a mong caretakers of cli!Ieren t roofs ;w ill maintain initial

Architects can suggest roof construction and roug~ing for mechanic al

INTRODUCTION
Happy is the manager in a city where the code allows roof access doors
to be locked against tenan t or prowler. The urge to investigate roo fs
is so strong that one find s a locked cage in front of a lo.eked door to
prevent damage.

ROO F USE
A few autho rities a re considering the nettle-grasping response to
t enants' desire to invade the roof by providing some form of activity
there. · A roo f laundry h as been mentioned on page 20, and some
objections to roof use arc there discussed.
Roof playgrounds are found in city schools, and imndecks in private
apartment buildings, even in some priva tely subsidized low-rent structures. Roof lounges for adults h ave been successful in subsidized
buildings for elderly occupants.
High buildings are largely the result of high land costs. R ecent
products designed to give heavy-duty performance on roofs may
lower considerably the cost of a usable fin ish, an d might even show
a saving by economy in land area needed for the development. Roof
spaces, mo reover, are not overrun with a utomobiles or permeated
with gas exhaust. Play equipment ca n be spot welded to heavy metal
plates grou ted to the deck finish to avoid piercing it. Vents have been
ra ised above normal height a nd g iven metal sunshade umbrellas
sleeved to the f'haft.

lounge or laundry ( or both) wo uld present a h appy diversity, with

Li ving Room in UH
Various ways to approxima te that dimension on a comm un al basis
have been noted in earlier chapters. Private balconies do provide
occupan t-controlled outdo or space, an d are though t by some authorities to be worth thei r cost in high buildings.
The usefuln ess of a dwelling layout is tested by early furniture studies.
Draftsmen sometimes minimize furniture dimensions a bit, and are
apt to place large items where heating risers or convectors will appear
in fully developed plans. Bureaus shown pa rtly against columns are
not unknown in such stu dies that, if so pl aced, would create dirt
p ockets. · Six i nches along a bedside does not give room to make
up a bed . A crib with its head again st a h eat riser and its foot o\'crlapping a window is probably as goo d a way to g ive the baby sn iffies
as any other. A hi gh win dow in a two-windowed b edroom provides
wall space below for a dresser if a convector is n ot p laced under it.
It can be cons id ered ext ravaga nt to design a space useful for only
one function within the small a rea allotted to each family. One usual
example, howeve r, is perhaps undesira ble ; th at of combin ing meal
service with clothes washin g, parti cularly for families with young
child ren. Dinn ers and Ji apers are not compatible.

SAFETY
H ome accidents have been well documl'nted an d publ il' izrJ. Some,
luckily, such as those from stairs-uni ·:as the build ing k1s t w0-story
fiats-do not concern us here. 13ut kitchens :ind bath rooms are still
dangerou:::. AcciJ cnts from things foilin g from high shch·cs, or people
falling while trying to reach t hem, from collision ,vith fu rnit ure,
ranges, and heating risers and, worst of all, fo iling out of windows
must be faced.
Difficulties Encountered
a. Children and obj ects falling out of windows ; windows difficult
or frighten ing to clean.
b. Kitchen ranges placed a t the end of a row of fixtures where
children can knock against pot handles.
Gas ranges near blowing curtains or having storage cupboards
over them.
e. Slipper y bathroom floors.
Tubs lacking safely grip handles.
Sturdy grab ba r a t tub.
cl. Electric outlets and pull chai ns (i f i)llll chai ns there must b,e)
at a sa-fc distan<:e from tu b, basin , and sink.
NO'/'E : The dan gers to children who push hairpins into clect1,ic
outlets, bu mp against heat risers, all/l swallow poisons are perhaps only lo be countered by their mothers. The tenant " ll--.elco111ing" bouklet, cfcurly ilf:1stra /1·tl by the rtrchitccl, can icn:rn
tenants. Authorities who provide radiant healing in floor s
have solved part of the prolJ!e11t, ar/ll consider the system ec o. no111ical in first c;ost and upkeep.

NOTE : Removable sliding sash are obviously the easiest to
d ean, and also a broken sash can quickly be replaced by a
tenant's trip to the maintenance office.
Casement sash close to grade or on galleries or balconies are
hazardous.
Awning windows that swing out beyond the building wall run
the risk of being shattered by an object failing or being thrown
from above.
b. Ranges placed between worktops or other barriers.
Ra nges at least two fee t from windows.
No cabinets over ranges.
c. Nonslip bathroom floors.

A kitchen planned for more than one worker lightens the moth er's
load and encourages fa mil y participation in housework .
Opin ion varies as to the need for closet doo rs. Authorities who agree
with voca l tenants and shocked critics have provided them on all
closets. Others are content to put them on fo yer and p assageway
closets only, and on living room closets if, by an unhappy chance,
precious wall surface is used fo r a closet there.
Authorities who look fo r good housekeeping standards may well consider providing doors on all closets, since tenant-provided curtains
are apt to be flimsy and neglected. Even when clean and well hung,
they give a s1ipshod appearance to the d welling and do not protect
clothing from dust.
Open shelves over convector runout pipes take the place of toy storage
boxes at slight expense. They also protect the pipes from children
and the children from pipes.

Some a uthorities show interest in a proposal to redesign the standard
ap artmen t layout by planniug a small living room off the foyer and
a large kitchen-dining-play ( or study) room. This arrangement
justifies the prevalent housewifely habit of "keeping the kids ou t of
the living room." It alluws a busy mother to keep an eye on infants

A NOTE O N W INDOW SHA DES
Window shad es are standa rd equ ipment for publi c hou sin g developments, so much so that th ey often serve to distingui sh p ublic fr om
private apartmen t buildings.
They arc chec1p, th ey do their work well. But that th ey are far fr om
attractiYe is iiot disputed. So far no equally trustworth y a nd economical m ethod has been found to d a rken bedrooms, to set the stage
for TV entertainments, to shu t away the outside world .
·
Possibly a window casing detail for cu1-tain rod s at the outside and
sh ades in side would be acceptable to au thorities who enj oy the "happening" made by different famili es' differently colored curtains.

Possibly new side-h ung fabrics will be pri ced one d ay to compete
with shades. In th at case ten an t curtains will not be needed and the
color pattern can be built in .

exists in the pro,iects under the administrA.tion of the l"ietropolit;m Toronto

If i t 1s considered that these move-out rates are greater
than might ordinarily exist in the priv;:\tc rentel TTlA.rket, then the c~ta t akes
on more sipnificance.
Conversely, if t!rn move-out r?.tes are consid - ,·ed to
be less than the normal priv~te experience, then the data tak0s o~

Dear Committee Member:
The next monthly meeting of the Executive Group of the Housing Resources
Committee will be held at 10:00, Thursday, July 6, in Committee Room #2,
Second Floor, City Hall. We hope you can attend this meeting.
The low and medium income housing program is still confronted with major
obstacles, which have recently been emphasized by the local news media. The
"White Paper 11 prepared by this Committee and used at the last meeting,
highlighted the problems and has been very well received. However, Mr. Alexander
desires to discuss several of the items further with you and will look to you
for suggestions as to action this Committee should take.
Also we would like to have a brief report on the activities of each Panel.
The Housing Inventory Report is being brought up to date, and should be
available for our July 6 meeting. It should provide a clear picture of the
current status of the program.
We still do not have information on the following:
Ee gal Panel--Chairman & Vice-Chairman
Public Housing~-Vice-Chairman
Land Acquisition Panel--Chairman & Vice-Chairman
Social Problems Panel--Vice-Chairman
Please be prepared to provide us at the next meeting with names of those
elected to the above positions.
Also please let us know on the enclosed return address postal card if
you plan to attend the meeting or, in the event you cannot attend the meeting, the name
of some other member of your panel who will represent you at the meeting .

Ge ntlemen :
This letter is to call to your attention my serious concern with a
problem facing the enforcement of housing codes in Atlanta and I am
certain in all the nation's cities.
In accordance wit h the emphasis placed on housing code enforcement
sought by Secretary Weaver and our own desires, we have moved ahead vigorously
with the housing code provisions in At l a nta. As you know, in those
areas where an urban renewal project or a code enforcement concentration area exists, home owners in need may qualify for grants and low
int erest l oans .
However, t here are many areas of Atlanta wh ere we seek to prevent
further deter i oration by code e nfo rcement that are as yet not covered
by e i ther of the above programs . Home owners i n these areas are with out recourse and are in the unhappy situation of having their homes
condemned unless they can produce the necessary funds .
It seems to me that these persons are entitled to relief. In effect
they are in an area covered by U. S. Government action since the re quired workab l e program covers the entire city. They should not be
unduly penalized . To continue to do so creates an unfair situation
which will undermine the entire e ffort of c ities to e nforce their codes.
I therefore s uggest that action be taken to all eviate this situati on .
We s uggest two possible courses .
1. As a minimum approach the F.H.A. shoul d ease up on their requirements unde r 203K and make loans under this program easily avail abl e for financially deprived persons who are sub jec ted to code enforcement expenditures .
2. Much more coul d be accomp l ished if the benefits of th e $1500
grants and the 3% l oan were extended t o all persons wi thout resources
who are faced with rehabilitation requirements under code enforcement.
As stated above the Workable Program is, in effect, a Federal require -

Gentlemen:
This letter is to call to your attention my serious concern with a problem
facing the enforcement of housing codes in Atlanta and I am certain to
all the nation's cities.
In accordance with the emphasis placed on housing code enforcement
sought by Secretary Weaver and our own desires, we have moved ahead
vigorously with the housing code provisions in Atlanta. As you know, in
those areas where an urban renewal project or a code enforcement concentration area exists, home owners in need may qualify for grants and
low interest loans.
However, there are many areas of Atlanta _where we seek to prevent
further deterioration by code enforcement that are as yet not covered
by either of the above programs. Home owners in these areas are without recourse and are in the unhappy situation of having their homes
condemned unless they can produce the necessary funds.
It seems to me that these persons are entitled to relief.
In effect they
are in an area covered by U. S. Government action since the required
workable program covers the entire city. They should not be unduly
penalized. To continue to do so creates an unfair situation which will
undermine the entire effort of cities to enforce their codes.
I, therefore, suggest that ~ .c tion be take n 'to alleviate this situation.
suggest two possible courses .
We
1. As a minimum approach the F. H. A. should ease up on their
requirements under 203K and make loans under this program easily
available for_financially deprived p ers ons who are s ubj ected to code
enforcem e nt exp e nditures.
2. Much more could b e accomplished if the b e nefits of the $1500
grants and the 3% loan were ex tended to all persons without resources who

are faced with rehabilitation requirements under code enforcement. As
stated above the Workable Program is, in effect, a Federal requirement
for the entire city. It seems possible that the law allowing grants and
loans could be e x tended to cover all citizens under a workable program.
I would appreciate your giving this problem your most earnest consideration.

Design Panel
~ . Ma lcolm D. J ones, Director
Mr. W.W. Gate s, Consultant
The Pub lic Housing Panel and the Soc ia l Problems Pane l were not
represented at the meeting .
Mr . Cecil A. Alexander, Chairman., presided . Mr. Alexander read
the Ho using Resources Cammi ttee I s "White Paper 11 ( copy attached )
and exp l ained the di fferent divisions of this r eport . Ee then
e xplained the other do c unents which 1-J'ere attached. He also
st~ted that there were severa l difficulties in locating rental
housing sites., partially because of the racial problems i~ Atlanta,
and gave his interpretation of the May 5, 1967 letter from HUD,
pertaining to HUD ' s reluctence to approve Public Housing sites
in racially concentrated areas .
Dr. Vivian Henderson, Land Acquis i tion Pane l, stated that this did
not necessarily hold true in all case s ; that he did not thin~ the
announced HUD policy was intended to apply to racially ir.tegrated
projects in previo usly all white neighborhoodso Dp. Henderson alsc
asked about his Panel's previous request for a list of possible sites
for locating low-cost housing .
Mr . Jones explained that this has been requested from t~e Planning
Department, but not yet prepared; however, that he has been
provided ttith a group of Land Lot sheets showing va cant property
(with current zoning) in the eastern half of the city; and these
locations were being looked into.
�Page Two
Dr . Henderson suggested t ~a t the need for such a list of avail able
sites be reported to t, e Board of 1 ldermen .
M~. Al exander reported tha t the Planning Committee initially
prepared a l ist of sites comprisi -~ 800 ac r es of land that were
considered avai l able for use o_ that cculd be re -zo~~d. He also
stated that t he developers !:ad already looked i nto t hese prop erties
but that only four tra ct s· had been approve d s o far.
Mr . Jones stat e d that he knew of only t wo, or possibly three, of
thes e t hat had been actually approved by BUD .
Mr. Alexander stated that one of the mai n prob l em s was t hat the
land devel opers c ould not always use the sites be c ause ·of locations,
costs, and building codes.
jV[r. John C. Wilso:-. ...,::. :.a nce and Non -Pro fit Funds Panel, suggested
that t ... e cornmitt e ~ ~---- ~P t all the l and possible, because to provide
al l the housing required, all available la nd would be needed.
~w . Al exa nder s tat ed that this Commit te e should take action one way
or another to get these prob l ems corrected before any further
subst an tial deve lopments ca n be made .
Mr. Jones stat ed that it was this Commit t ee's policy to cons ider
any suitab l e l ocati on that was submitted or prop o sed a nd to tr y to
ge t a ct i on based on merits of individua l tra cts.
Lee Burge, Finance and Non -Profit Funds ~anel, asked ~f this
Committee was over-playing the housing pr oble ms, or if this was
just the normal type of thing which resulted fr om trying to get
through zoning changes , Housing h.u t hor i ty and/or .- FHA approval
of a housing deve lopment.
~~.
~r . Alexander explained that there is a greater low-re ntal need in
the city than apparently some members of the FHA underwriting staff
feel justified .
Mr. Jones said that the problems were not being over-pla yed
because there were many prob le ms in trying to locate low-cost
housing sites. He explained that this was the p0 r p ose of this
meeting; to try to work out some of these problems.
Dr. Henderson stated that many of the present problems appeared
to be with the Planning Department , and they were not very good
reasons.
Mr. Alexander stated that the City is striving to get a workable
Land Use plan which people feel that they can rely on.
Mr. Dale Clark, Public Information Panel, asked if the Pla-nni"ng
Department is represented on t his Committee.
�Page Three
Mro Jones st at ed t hot it is not; but t ha t we are wor king i n
clo se contact with each other.
i\lr Alexander stated t hat t he genera l fee l i:ie; is that i n some
re sidential area s the zoning from single fa~i l y houses to
a partments wi ll be a ne cessity o He asked the press not to
mention any specif:i..c areas wne r e th i s ma y be poss ible, be cause
there are no definite plans to this effect as yet .
Mr. Burge asked if it would not be~ - ~pful to create a link
between the Housing Resources CornLl ittee and the Planning
Department?
Mr. Ale1:ander stat e d that it wou ld also be a good i de a . to create
such a relationsh ip with t he Board of Aldermen.
rvr..r. Burge said., i n r ela tion t o item (d) under ttDist.:cu s s io n in
the 11 Wh ite P&per 11 ., that he would l:..ke to k now how t he zor.ing
people felt about th i s o
Dr o Henders on s aid that i t was e asy to disc uss this problem
but tha t it would not a l ways work out in pra c t ice, and that the
real iss ue is the diffi c ulty of l ocating in an area that does


not 1·rnnt housing deve lopments .


Mr o Burge a sked the r eason given by FHA for it s action in
connecti on with the s ites near Mag~olia Cemetar y , Ether:d ge
Drive , and Gun Cl ub Roado
Mr. Alexander referred the q uestion to Mr . Ga t e s for ans wer .
Gates stated tha t proximity _,t:) Rockda 2.e Urban Re newa l Project.,
in which ab out 1)500 units are to be constructed during t he r.ext
four years, ~ould be take~ int o consideration in determining
the probable market abs orpti on in the general area. Both the
Ci ty of Atlanta and the Federal Government have considerable
investment in Rockdale.
ffir.
Mr . Alexander asked Mro Jones to [\ ive a report on possib le
loca t~ons :or pre-fabricated 143.215.248.55 ~ ~sin Atlanta.
T-'lr. Jones stated that there is some effort to build this type
of house in Atlanta., But that there is difficulty because of
tht At2.anta Building Code . This code states that the plumbing,
electrical, and heating fixtures be installed on site in
Atlanta, and that the pre-fabricated houses come with thes e
fixtures and electrical circutes already instal led. towever.,
there are plans being matlc now for so~e sites on which prefabricated houses could be located by des~gina ting special areas
�Page Four
where t his type of housing could b e installed o He al s o st ated that
t_he a mount of land r eqLlired to bu i ld a house on was too gre·at
economically in Atlanta for t his t ype of hous e ., nnd that there
are also plans under wa y t o corre c t this by permi t ting them to
be built on a 50 1 x 100 1 lot, or 60 x 83.33 1 (5,000 sqo feet i nstead
of 7,500 sq. feet, ·which is now requ::.redo)
Mro Alexander stated that· he thought tha t organizatio~s su ch
as Tech sould organize stud ies of t he housing s it uation in
Atlanta, which wo uld be mad e availab le to this Committee . He
asked Mr. Winn if the Construction and Design Panel were looking
into this now?
Mro Robert Winn , Construction a nd Design Panel, stated that
there will be a!·meeting of his panel a week from next Tuesday to
discuss this.
Mr. J one s inquired if the pre seut meet ing time 2nd date for
this Committee was satisfactory, and the reply was affirmative .
He a l so stated th2t he h ad appea red before t he Zoning '.:::,-:-,:..mi ttee
on sever2 l occasions a nd felt t hat it would carry more influenc e
with them if th~s Committee co uld t2ke definite a ction on some
areas before he re-appeared. He stated that there were three sites

MAY 4 , ·1967
Members of the Housing Resources Committee Executive Group met on Thursd a y,
May 4, 1967, at 10:00 a. m. i_n City Hall. The following members were present:
Mr. Dale Clark, Public Info rmat ion Panel
Dean William S. Jackson, Social Problems Panel
Mr. J. E. Land, Lan d Acquisition Panel
Mr. Archer D. Smith, III, Le g al Panel
Mr. Edwin L. Sterne , Public Housing Panel
Mr. Hall Ware, Finance and Non-Profit Funds Panel
Mr. John C. Wilson, Finance and Non-Profit Fund s Panel
Mr. Robert Winn, Construction and Design Panel
The Business Participation Panel was not represented at the meeting.
Col. Malcolm Jones presided in the Chairman's absence. Col. Jones explai ned
that this was the second in a series of monthly meetings designed to bring the
Committee members up to date on the progress of the program. H e then asked
each of the panel representatives to make a rep ort on the a ction taken by their
r espe ctiv e panels.
Finance and Non-Profit Funds Panel - Mr . Wilson and Mr. Ware explained
that the Committee is actively engage d i n developing a local funding group to
provide II seed" money t o promote low co st h ousing. Preliminary dis cuss ions
have been held and material from other such organi zation s is being reviewed.
Social Problems Panel - Dean Jackson reported that this panel has met to
organize their group and has discussed some of the broad areas to be
encompassed by the panel. Two main decisions came out of this meeting:
1.
The panel should have representatio n from the community it self and,
therefore, two new members have been added. They are: D r. Charles
F. Schwab, President, Protestant Welfare and Social Services, Inc.,
and Mr. Erwin Stevens, Chairman, Citiz en s Central Advisory
Committee, Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc.
2.
The panel felt it would be helpful to develop some guidelines as to what
is anticipated as goals for adequate living.
�Page Two
Dean Jackson added that one of his cl as ses is presently conducting a surve y
of the attitudes of families living in the vicinity of the B e dford-Pine ar ea
to be completed by the end of this month. If anything helpful comes out of
the study it will be shared with the Conunittee.
Land Acquisition Panel - Mr. Land reported that this panel is still in the
process of thoroughly organizing. However, as a result of the first meeting
it was decided that two or three real estate men would be added to the group
and this is in process at present. Meetings are planned with the Atlanta
Housing Authority and the Federal Housing Administration.
Construction and Design Panel - Mr. Winn reported t:q.at three archi tec ts have
been obtained to work with the panel in carrying out its functions. The panel
members have organized and have scheduled regular monthly meetings and
are beginning to plan their program.
Legal Panel - Mr. Smith, representing Mr. Weltner, stated that two attorne y s
have been added to assis t in the work of the panel. They are: Mr. Archer D.
Smith, III , Attorney, Harmon & Thackston, and Mr. Norman L. Underwood ,
Attorney, San ders, H ester & Holley. The panel members are working in thre e
areas at the present time:
1.
2.
3.
Research and examination of the laws dealing with FHA housin g,
particul arly the requisites for obtaining FHA grants and loans;
Study of complaints and problems concerning the enforcement of the
Housing Code; and
Res earch into the pa rt of t h e law particularly co n cerne d with the
Grant and Loan Program (fo r re habilitation o f sub-standard housi ng)
being restricted to U r ban Renewal and Code Enforcement areas.
Public Hrusing Panel - Mr. Sterne reported that this panel has met once and
at that meeting the members were generally acquainte d with what is going on
in public housing. Mr. Stern e told the group of many of the program.s the
Housing Authority is presently engaged in.
Public Information Panel - Mr. Clark reported that th e pane l members have
met and that he also met with Col. Jones and Mr. Alexander for a bri efing on
the overall program. He stated that his concept of this panel's ftmction is: one
of informing the general public and to report fully through the news 1nedia
what the Committee is doing, and that until some definite action is taken hy
the Committee and the function of the Committee is a little better focused,
this panel will n ot be able to really move forward on their program.
�Page Three
Col. Jones then distributed up-to-date copies of the Inventory of the various
housing projects which have been proposed and provided members of the pr e ss
with a summary of this report. He reviewed the summary with the comm itte e
and discussed in detail some of the problems the committee is encountering in
getting these projects underway. The major problems include:
1.
Attitude of home owners toward apartment units;
2.
Zoning; and
3.
Determination of the location of housing {HUD prefers that such housin g
not be located in areas of racial concentration).
The group discussed possible solutions to these problems but no positive
decisions were reached.
Col. Jones also told the group of a meeting Mr. Alexander has reques t ed for
a special meeting of the Board of Aldermen for the purpose of inviting builders
and developers to appear before them to discuss their problems from their
points of view. He added that it would be helpful to have some members of the
Executive Group at this meeting also. Mr. Land of the Land Acquisition Panel
said that his panel would definitely be represente d at the meeting.
Col. Jones requeste d each of the panels to elect permanent Chairme n an d Vi ce
Chairmen as soon as possible, if they have not al~eady done so, and to a d v ise
him who has be e n ele cted.
Mr . Cl a rk told the E xe cut ive Group members that his panel (Public Infor mati on)
is alw ays ope n to committee member s for any sugge stions or r e comme n dati on s
a s to h ow th e public infor mati on p r o g ram can help f urth er the goals of the
Committee. H e also re commended to Col. Jones t h at the informatio n containe d
i n :: t he s u mmary o f t h e proble m areas be made available to the press . Col. Jone s
agree d w i t h Mr . Cl ark a n d a dvis e d that h e would t a k e up this matte r w i t h
M r . A l e xand er.

The Executive Group of the Housing Resources Committee, recently established
,j

by Mayor Allen to promote and facilitate construction of low and medium cost housing in
Atlanta, held its regular monthly meeting today in the City Hall,
Cecil A, Alexander,
Chairman, Dr. Sanford Atwood, President of Emory Univer>sity . and Dr, Benjamin E. Mays,
President of Morehouse College, Co-Chairmen of the Committee, were unable to attend,
The Executive Group (consisting of the Chairmen of the nine working panels
into which the overall Committee is organized) studied a recently prepared Committee
report on the status of the current housing progr>am,
submitted by various developers,
It is summarized as follows:

14,766 of which 6504 units (1243 listed in the· Firm category,
3409 in the Being Considered category and 1852 now included in the Doubtful category)
previously considered likely, are currently in serious difficulty of materializing due
primarily to objections from various sources as to proposed locations,


', Includes 1140 uni ts of Public Housing, plus 144 existing uni ts leased for Public Housing.


In addition, 1782 units have been rehabilitated since October under the Housing Code.
The goals established by the City for the program are 16,800 units by
the end of 1971 , consisting of 9800 units during 1967 and 1968 and 2333 units during
each of the succeeding three years.
The principal difficulties currently confronting the Committee in
developing the program are the following:
(a)
General objection by single family home owners to multi-family units
being built anywhere near them, even though the multi-family construction may be a v~ry
high type of cooperative sales housing for purchase and occupancy by family units and
presold before construction begins,
l

- - - -- - ---------------:----- - - - - - - - -------.
�.. - .

(b)
Difficulty in getting sufficient suitable tracts appropriately zoned,
because of objections from residents of the areasinvolved.
(c)
Persistent efforts by certain groups to effect the spreading of
low and medium income housing throughout all sectors of the City, even though suitable
tracts of land may not be available in some areas to developers at prices which make
construction of such housing economically feasible.
(d)
Recently announced policy by HUD discouraging the location of
public housing in areas of racial concentration.
(e)
Conservatism by FHA on approving projects in certain areas, to
insure against the possibility of over-building the market in any portions of the City.
(f)
Discouragement on the part of promoters and developers faced with
the above indicated problems.
The combination of these problems is slowing down the program
substantially and, if continued, will make the goals very difficult to attain.

Mayor of the City of Atlanta

Dear Mayor Allen:
This replies to your letter of May 10 transmitting copy of a
memorandum submitted by the Housing Resources Committee and
requesting our specific comments on items 5, 6 and 9. These
comments are as follows:
(5) We are unaware of any offers for sale by owners of
103 units on Boulevard resulting from housing code inspections.
As a general rule it is not financially feasible to acquire old
housing by purchase since necessary financing of the resulting
project must extend over a 40 year life.
It is preferable to
lease units in such buildings since the economics usually do
not justify purchase.
(6) At the present time negotiations are proceeding concerning
the leasing of units in four additional separate sites. We hope
t o be able to add to the total number of units now under lease.
The great difficulty is the l ow vacancy rate in housing of
acceptab l e standard in the Atlanta area, which has resulted in an
attitude by most landlords that there is no financial advantage
t o them to enter into a lease agreement with the Housing
Authority since they already have extensive waiting lists and
are n o t having to make improvements that possibly would be
required under the Housing Authority leasing program.
�Mayor Allen
~age 2
May 17, 1967
The Housing Authority representative is devoting ample time to
the investigation of all available leads. All real estate firms
listed in the Yellow Pages have been circularized as well as
members of the two real estate boards. Constant visual
investigations are made in trips to various sections of the city
to find out where vacancies might be in existence.
The processing of individual tenant leases for occupancy of
units in private housing is not greatly time consuming since it
only averages about thirty minutes per tenant.
It i s considere d very important for the leasing represent a tive
to make very frequent checks of existing leased housing to make
sure that the public housing tenants are living up to their
obligations affecting the care of the premises, etc.
If this
program can b e controlled so that private landlords see that
public housing tenants are better than average tenants this
should h a ve a n importa nt impact on t he availabil i ty of addi tiona l
units f or l e as e . Althou gh the numb e r of le a s e d sites h a s not
increased in the past few weeks, the number of public housing
tenants has had a steady growth as dwelling units have become
available in pres e nt locati ons.
(9 ) Redu c ti on i n minimum p ri ce of sing l e family l o t s fo r
sal e in the Thoma sville Urban Redev e lopme nt P ro j ec t b e l ow the ir
cu r r ent minimum has been c ons i dered i n t he pas t.
The staff is
of t h e opinion tha t such reduction would not encourage the
deve l opment of t he se lots b e c a use:
(a )
The p r ice a s n ow s e t is l e ss t han the value of
the lots shoul d t he de v e l oper ac qu i re l and at
reasonable price and prov ide the stree t s ,
utilities , and other ameni ties as provided
by this p r o j e ct.
(b)
The Federal Housi n g Admi nis tra t ion will a ll ow
as land valu e onl y the amou nt actual ly paid
to us by the deve l oper. Therefore, any
redu ction in the price of the land wouldmly
res ul t in a redu ct i on in the amount of the
loan unde rwritt e n by FHA .
At the moment it appears to us the greatest opportunity for
provision of additional units for low income famili e s l i e s in

the 221D-3 Program, and hopefully in increasing the number
of units leased for public housing use, although the latter
does not increase total housing supply.

Members of the Housing Resources Committee Executive Group met on Thur sday,
May 4, 1967, at 10:00 a . m. i_n City Hall. The following members were present:
Mr. Dale Clark, Publi c Information Panel

Mr. J. E. Land, Land Acquisition Panel
Mr . Archer D. Smith, III, Legal Panel
Mr. Edwin L. Sterne, Public Housing Panel
Mr. Hall Ware, Finance and Non-Profit Funds Panel
Mr. John C. Wilson, Financ e and Non-Profit Funds Panel
Mr. Robert Winn, Cons tructi on and Design Panel
The Business Participation Panel was not represented at the rn.eeting.
Col. Malcolm Jones presided in the Chairman's absen c e . Col. Jones explained
that this was the second in a series of monthly meetings designed to bring the
Committee members up to date on the progress of the progra1n. He then asked
each of the panel representatives to make a report on the action taken by their
respective panels.
Finance and Non-Profit Funds Panel - Mr. Wilson and Mr. Ware explained
that the Committee is actively engaged in developing a local funding group to
provide "seed" money to promote low cost housing. Preliminary discussions
have been held and material from other such organizations is being reviewed.
Social Problems Panel - Dean Jackson reported that this panel has met to
organize their group and has discussed some of the broad areas to be
encompassed by the panel. Two main decisions came out of this meeting:
1.
The panel should have representation from the community itself and,
therefore, two new members have been added. They are: Dr. Charles
F. Schwab , President, Protestant Welfare and Social Services, Inc.,
and Mr. Erwin Stevens, Chairman, Citizens Central Advisory
Committee, Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc.
2.
The panel felt it would be helpful to develop some guidelines as to what
is anticipated as goals for adequate living.
�Page Two
Dean Jackson added that one of his cl a sses is p r es e ntly conducting a surve y
of the attitudes of families living in the vicinity of the B e dford-Pine a r e a
to be completed by t h e e nd of this month. If anyt hing h e lpf ul comes out of
the study it will b e sha red wit h the Committee .
Land Acquisition P a nel - Mr. L a nd reported that this pane l is still in t he
process of thoroughly organizing. H ow e ver, as a r e sult of the first m e e t ing
it was decided that two or three real estate men would be added to the g roup
and this is in process a t present. Meetings are planned with the Atlanta
Housing Authority and the Federal Housing Administration.
Construction and D es i gn Panel - Mr. Winn reported that three archite c t s have
been obtained to work with the panel in carrying out its functions. The pan el
members have organized and have scheduled regular monthly meetings and
are be ginning to plan t heir program.
L e g al P a n e l - Mr. Smith, re p re senting M r. W e ltner , state d that two a ttorn e ys
have b ee n adde d t o as s i st i n t h e w ork of the panel. They are: Mr. Arche r D.
Smith, III, Attorney, H a rmon & Thackston, and Mr. Norm.an L. Underwood,
Attorne y, Sanders, H es t er & Holley. The panel members ar e working in t h re e
ar e as a t the pres ent t ime:
1.
2.
3.
R esearch and examina tion of the l a ws d ealing wit h F H A hous ing ,
p articularly the re quis ite s fo r obtaining F HA grants and loans;

Housin g Code ; and
Re s earch into t h e part of the l aw par tic ul a r ly conc e rne d with t h e
Gr ant a nd L o an Pr o gra m (for reh a bilita tion of sub -standard housing )

Publi c Informati on Panel - Mr . Clark r ep orted that the panel members have
met and that he also me t with C ol. Jon e s and Mr. Alexander for a brie fing on
the overall program. He stated that h i s concept of this panel's function is one
of informing the general public and to report full y through the news 1nedia
what the Committee is doi ng , and that unt il s ome definite action i s taken by
the Committee and the functi on o f the C ommi ttee i s a l ittl e better focused,
this panel will not be a ble to really move for w ard on their program.
�Page Three
~Col. Jones then distributed up-to-date copies of the Inventory of the various
housing projects which have been proposed and provided members of the press
with a sum.mary of this report. He reviewed the summary with the co1nmittee
and discussed in detail some of the problems the committee is encountering in
getting these projects underway. The major problems include:
1.
Attitude of home owners toward apartment units;
2.
Zoning; and
3.
Determination of the location of housing {HUD prefers that such housing
not be located in areas of racial concentration).
The group discussed possible solutions to these problems but no positive
decisions were reached.
Col. Jones also told the group of a meeting Mr. Alexander has requested for
a special meeting of the Board of Aldermen for the purpose of inviting builders
and developers to appear before them to discuss their problems from their
points of view. He added that it would be helpful to have some members of the
Executive Group at this meeting also. Mr. Land of the Land Acquisition Panel
said that his panel would definitely be represented at the meeting.
Col. Jones requested each of the panels to elect permanent Chairmen and Vice
Chairmen as soon as possible, if they have not already done so, and to advise
him who has been elected.
Mr. Clark told the Executive Group members that his panel (Public Information)
is always open to committee members for any suggestions or recommendations
as to how the public information program -can help further the goals of the
Committee. He also recommended to Col. Jones that the information contained
in :: the summary of the problem areas be made available to the press. Col. Jones
agreed with Mr. Clark and advised that he would take up this matter with
Mr. Alexander.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 11:30 a. m.
Respectfully submitted,

The Executive Group of the Housing Resources Committee, recently establ ished
by Mayor Allen to promote and facilitate construction of low and medium cost housing in
Atlanta, held its regular monthly meeting today in the City Hall.

Chair man, Dr. Sanford Atwood, President of Emory University . and Dr. Benjamin E. Mays,
President of Morehouse College, Co-Chairmen of the Committee, were unable to att end .
The Executive Group (consisting of the Chairmen of the nine working panels
into whi ch the overall Committee is organized) studied a recently prepared Committee
report on the status of the current housing program.

previously considered likely, are cur~ently in serious difficulty of materializing due
primarily to objections from various sources as to proposed locations.


Includes 1140 units of Public Housing , plus 144 existing units leased for Public Housing.


In addition, 1782 units have been rehabilitated since October under the Housing Code.
The goals established by the City for the program are 16,800 units by
the end of 1971, consisting of 9800 units during 1967 and 1968 and 2333 units during
each of the succeeding three years.
The principal difficulties currently confronting the Committee in
developing the program are the following :
(a)
General objection by single family home owners to multi-family
units
'
'
'
being built anywhere near them, even though the multi-family construction may be a very
high type of cooperative sales housing for purchase and occupancy by family unit s and
presold before construction begins.
l
'

-2(b)
Difficulty in getting sufficient suitable tracts appropriately zoned,
because of objections from residents of the areasinvolved.
(c)
Persistent efforts by certain groups to effect the spreading of
low and medium income housing tnroughout all sectors of the City, even though suitable
tracts of land may not be available in some areas to developers at prices which make
.!
construction of such housing economically feasible.
(d)
.:1
,I
Recently announced policy by HUD discouraging the location of
,I
public housing in areas of racial concentration.
,,
(e)
Conservatism by FHA on approving projects in certain areas, to
I
insure against the possibility of over-building the market in any portions of the City.
(f)
Discouragement on the part of promoters and developers faced with
the above indicated problems.
The combination of these problems is slowing down the program
substantially and, if continued, will make the goals very difficult to attain.

Of the 71 proposals cont ained i n this report, 19 of the best ones

of ?.U D has been brewing for some time and now has the support ·of HUD LTJ.

Thus far we have depended primarily on private developers to
c ome in with proposed sites.
Unless the current situation can be materially
i mproved s oon, it may behoove the City t o go into t he business of sys temicall y
cicte r mining sites for low cost housing and acquiring the land needed for such
use, by condemnation if necessary, in much the sar1e manner as is dor.e by the
Scnool Board f or needed school .sites.

It seems that t he 22 l d(3), co- op i s the most popular approach t o the nonpr ofit development and is best for bot h t he City and the purchaser- occ upant .

MEMORANDUM
·
To: Mr. Dan E. Sweat, Jr.
Director of Governmental Liaison
F -rom: Malcolm D. Jones
Supervisor of Inspection Services
Pursuant to our brief discussion this morning, the following is
a concise list of major problems currently being encountered in
the low-cost housing program (for more detail see copy of my
letter of April 12 to Cecil Alexander).
1.
Difficulty for developers to find land suitably zoned
and at prices which make low-cost housing development
economically feasible.
2.
NAACP objection to sites proposed in areas which they
. consider occupied predominately by Negroes.
3.
Support of the NAACP position by the Intergroup Relations
Section of the Regional Office of HUD. with apparently the
backing of HUD at the Washingtonllevel.
4.
FHA reluctance to approve locations which they consider
might offer competition to development of Rockdale; also
constant and extreme conservatism against ov er building
in any area until each development is actually tested as
to marketability; plus the ov erflow effect of the difficulty
e x pla ined in 2 and 3 above , although no directive to that
effect appears to have yet actually reached the local FHA
office.
l
�l
....
Mr. Sweat
Page Two
April 21, 1967
5.
Neighborhood resistance by home owners, generally to
apartments going anywhere near them.
6.
Reluctance of the Board of Aldermen to rezone suitable
areas because of neighborhood objections.
7.
Reluctance of the Planning Department to recommend
.
rezoning of necessary areas because of inconsistency with
previously adopted plans in most areas.
8.
Difficulty in keeping developers interested in view of the
combination of the above listed problems.
9.
Slowness of non-profit groups to sponsor projects (a
mandatory provision of the 221 d (3) low-interest rate
program).

HOUSING RESOURCES EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
APRIL 6, 1967
Members of the Housing Resources Committee Executive Group met on
Thursday, April 6, 1967, at 10:00 a. m. in City Hall. The following
members were present:
Mr. Cecil A. Alexander, _Chairman
Mr. Lee Burge, Finance Panel
Mrs. Sujette Crank, Social Problems Panel
Mr. Virgil Milton, Business Participation Panel
Mr. Ray Moore, Public Information Panel
Mr. Moreland Smith, Construction and Design Panel
Mr. Charles L. Weltner, Legal Panel
Mr. John Wilson, Non-Profit Funds Panel
The following panels were not represented at the meeting:
Land Acquisition Panel
Public Housing Panel
Mr. Alexander reviewed the general functions of the Housing Resources
Committee and informed the participants of the Housing Resources Committee
Offic e that had been established in the City Hall. He also advised that
Col. Malcolm Jones has been assigned to coordinate the housing program
and Mr. William Gates, as consultant 6n FHA matters, is assisting in the
office one day each week. He announced that the City has also just approved
a secretarial position for this office to be filled as soon as possible.
Mr. Alexander then introduced Mr. M. B. Satterfield, E x ecutive Director
of the Atlanta Housing Authority, who briefed the group on the public
housing program.
Mr. Satterfield report e d on the number of public housing units at the present
time:
1.
There ar e presently 8,874 units with virtually no vacancies.
2.
650 units are under construction at the McDaniel Stre e t Proj ec t .
3.
A bid has b een accepted for 14 0 units extension to the Perry Homes
Project.
�Page Two
4.
350 units in the design stage have been submitted to the Federal Housing
Administration for review. The Housing Authority expects to let bids
on these units this summer.
5.
140 units are under lease under the leasing program.
He pointed out these different projects on a city map to give the Committee
members an idea of the location of this . housing. He stated that some concern
has been expressed for the need of public housing in the eastern quadrant of
the city and explained that the main difficulty is in securing any open land in
this area that would be useable. Developers are being encouraged to consider
this section of the city. He explained that the Atlanta Housing Authority
presently has 4, 200 units reserved (allocated) by the Federal Government.
He then reviewed the different programs available in providing this lowincome housing. These includ e :
1.
Direct construction by the Housing Authority and the Turnkey Program.
2.
Purchase and rehabilitation of older and existing houses.
3.
Leasing by the Housing Authority of standard dwellings.
At this point Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. spoke to the group briefly regarding the
housing program. He said that he was greatly impressed with the interest
being shown in efforts to get more low-income housing underway in the city.
He pointed out, as Mr. Satterfield did, that the main problem he has
encountered is in securing suitable and available locations for these units.
He expressed a desire to see more non-profit sponsors willing to carry
through on a project to construct such housing units.
Col. Malcolm Jones then revi ewe d with the members of the Committee the
various pieces of informational material made available to them today and
brought these reports up to date on changes that have taken place. _ He also
pointed out the different proposed projects on a map of the city so the
members might see th e distribution of the units.
The following revisions were reported in the February 20, 1967, report:

·Col. Jones also distributed a report concerning the problem areas of the
program. Currently there are 4, 900 units in all categories which are facing
serious difficulties for various reasons. This report was to advise the
Committee of the situations ex is ting.
The Chairman next recommended and requested the following to the Committee:
1.
A monthly meeting date.
the month at 10:00 a. m.
2.
He requested all panels to submit the names of their Chairmen and
Vice Chairmen as soon as possible.
3.
He reques ted th e Legal Panel to investigate th e feasibility of amending
and broadening F ederal l egislati on concerning financial assistance to
home owners in urban renewal and cod e enforcement areas whose homes
are cond emned. At pres ent, home owners in urb an ren ewal areas and
Federal approved code enforcement areas are the only persons eligible
for such assistance. He feels that such assistance should be city-wide.
4.
Mr. Al exander asked that encouragement be given to neighboring
commw1ities to have good Workable Programs. Atlanta's program
is in good order but this does not apply to all other communities in
Metropolitan Atlanta.
5.
He asked the Legal Panel to investigate the State t ax laws. He feels the
present tax laws are favorable to retention and creation of slums.
It was established for the first Thursday of
�Page Four
6.
He announced that the Finance and Non-Profit Panels have been combined.
7.
He advised that he and Mr. Lee Burge are looking into the need for
formation of a Housing Development Corporation. Suggestion was made
that the Chamber of C ommerce be asked to look into the matter and to
assist.
8.
At the present time he is trying to. get some information from the City
Planning Department regarding the available land in the city. However,
it will be some time before this information is complete.
9.
He expressed his concern over the difficulties that are being encountered
in securing approval of sites. This is caused by various reasons, as
indicated in the special report distributed by Col. Jones. He feels
that this is becoming a very serious problem and that something must
be done as soon as possible to try to provide solutions to these :problems.
10.
The Committee and office staff have been approached many times by
developers requesting that they refer them to lawyers and archite cts
familiar with the housing programs. The professional organizations of
thes e groups have been asked to supply the Housing Resources Office
with a list of those persons familiar with and interested in this field
and these lists will be furnished the develop e rs upon request.
11.
He recommended to the Construction Panel that they take under advisement the, various codes of the City of Atlanta and other agencies to
det ermine if such codes are practical and feasible.
12.
He requested assistance from the Social Pr oblems Panel in providing
solutions to the many problems being created in the location of these
housing units.
13.
There are s eve ral areas of the city that have not been touched for
additional low cost housing and he feels a much more aggr e ssive program is n ee ded. He referred to such areas as Vine City and
Mechanicsville.
14.
He asked th e members to consider the problem of r e location of p eople
displaced w hil e units are under construction and to come up w ith some
�Page Five
workable way to build thes e units without completely disrupting the
neighborhood.
15.
He proposed that a task force be set up in the areas of prime
consideration to improve communications with the residents.
After a short discussion period the meeting was adjourned at 11:45 a. m.

Dear Mr. Moore:
A Housing Resources Committee is being established in Atlanta to
work closely with and as an adjunct to the Mayor's Office in a
special effort to provide through pr·i vate enterprise, non-profit
organizations and public housing sufficient housing units for all
those in low and medium income brackets in Atlanta to be housed
in decent, safe and sanitary housing and to eliminate existing
slums in our city.
Sub-committees of the Housing Resources Comnittee will soon be
appointed in various fields of endeavor to serve on the Committee
for accomplishing this momentous objective.
You have been nominated to serve with several others on the
Public Information Sub-Committee. It is anticipated that at its
first meeting each Sub-Committee will . elect its own Chairman,
wh o will also be the Sub-Committee's representative on the
Executive Group of the Housing Resources Committee as a whole.
It is also expected that each Sub-Committee, in addition to
supplying "know how" in its particular field, will also be
influential at all levels to gain acceptance for and promotion
of the program and would select at least two young men from
firms which can afford to devote part of their time for intensive
work with the Sub-Committee.
It would also be helpful if each Sub-Committee could form an
advisory panel of people active in the field of housing who would
