NOTES

21,032 units proposed did not materialize, of which 13,764 were included in the previcus report of Jan. 15, 1969, and 7,268
additional units are listed in this report, as Lost. (The majority of these losses was due to disapprovals of sites, a large
portion of which were denials of zoning petitions.)

In view of difficulties encountered in zoning and getting other approvals on sites proposed for large multi-family developments,
it is apparent that the Low-income Housing Program will have to lean heavily on Developers and Builders providing a substantial
portion of the requirement on small scattered sites by both Conventional and Federal assisted financing. Also Public Housing

in small projects, to include small developments on scattered sites is strongly: advocated, for future development.

Proposed locations for low-income housing are coordinated through the Plan. Dept. for adequacy of Community Facilities, existing
or proposed. Proposals are also reviewed periodically with the School Department for adequacy of school facilities.

The Travelers Insurance Company financed 75 new single family low-cost houses in the Thomasville Urban Renewal project area
under the FHA 221 d(2) insured mortgage program. Equitable made $1,000,000 available to Atlanta Mortgage Brokerage Co. for
financing low-cost homes at favorable rates, Interest is still increasing in development of home ownership housing.

No proposal had yet been made for construction of units (even efficiency or 1 bedroom) to rent or sell for as low as $50 per
month, although the London Towne Houses, a 221 d(3) co-op development now under construction, is approaching this, with its one
bedroom unit selling at $69 per month. The City's greatest need is in the $30-$50 per month rental-purchase range, which
appears to have little chance of accomplishment, without substantial governmental subsidy.

Prefab distributors and conventional builders have interesting potential houses to offer but, because of fear of local Codes
difficulties, are currently erecting very few single-family houses in Atlanta to sell in the $10,000-$15,000 range for which
there is a strong demand and market. Perhaps the greatest difficulty is availability of suitably priced land within the City
Limits. Economics for this price-range sales housing requires land which will cost the developer not more than $1,500 per
unit. A 5,000 sq. £t. lot is considered ample for this type house which should reduce land costs by 33 1/3%; most houses in
this price range are currently being erected in Atlanta on R-5 lots having a minimum size of 7,500 sq. ft.

Imperial Homes of Griffin, Ga., manufacturers of pre-cut sectionalized frame houses, has developed a 24'x36', 3 bedroom & bath
house designed to sell, to the occupant for $8,900 to go on his land; and is developing a 4 bedroom & bath house to sell
similarly for about $9,000. National Homes of Lafayatte, Ind. is erecting 200 units of pre-built, 4 bedroom, bath and $

units in Chicago and is doing the site planning and landscaping. This firm was recently successful bidder, through design
competition, for construction of 600 medium and low-income housing units on the Honor Farm #1 site.

The nonprofit Greater Atlanta Housing Development Corporation is now in business. The CACUR'S nonprofit corporation to
rehabilitate existing units under 221 (h) has completed its first group of 5 houses in Lindwood Park. Vanguard Housing Corp.
has obtained FHA commitment for rehabilitation of 6 units under 221 (h). Morris Brown College is another such sponsor.

North West Community Forum has also filed applications for 4 projects under 221 (h)
