EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
MRS. EVELYN DODDS October 12, 1967
Dear Executive Committee Member:
First of all, our October meeting is to be held next THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19
(instead of the customary third Wednesday of the month) in the Directors Room
of the Fulton Federal Savings Association Building, S. W. corner of Pryor
Street and Edgewood Avenue,
Chairman Sommerville and I earnestly hope you will be able to join us at this
meeting because we have a very important matter to consider with you.
It is - how our committee can participate in the new federal 221 H program to
rehabilitate deteriorated housing. If you attended the September meeting, you
will recall that Mr. Finn of FHA explained the details of this new program. What
he said indicated that it offered a fine opportunity for our committee to help meet
our city's need for adequate housing.
We have taken a first step by filing an application for a federal grant of $96, 000
which we hope may be approved by next Thursday. To put this grant to work,
we need to form a nonprofit corporation. How we can do this will be explained
October 19. It is not a difficult undertaking. We would like the benefit of your
thinking on what can be a very worthwhile project for our committee,
In addition to discussing the 221 H program next Thursday, we will be brought
up to date on urban renewal by Howard Openshaw, redevelopment director for
Atlanta Housing Authority.
Also, if time permits, Harold Davis, our executive committee man who directs
public relations for Georgia State College, will tell us briefly about the college's
new urban affairs academic program.
Sincerely,
Weed)
William S. Howland
P. S. As you can see by the envelope in which this letter comes to you that the
Post Office Dept. is putting a stamp of approval on our activities.
