NOTES

Uni-structure - Daniel W. Gaskin; Magnolia Corporations - David S. Wolff; and Mod (Knox Mobile Homes), W. F. Silmore, are all very much interested

in installing prefab mobile homes in Atlanta as manufactured. They have thus far been prevented from doing so because of local Code requirements.

These still appear to be the best possibility for getting low-cost single family homes in Atlanta. No interest in this field has been show

by private enterorise through conventional Construction. Southern Stress-Plus, Inc. - John D. Johnson recently exhibited at Lenox Square a

patented panel (assembled on site) prefab house to sell, installed on purchasers lot, as follows: 1 BRm = $5,000.00; 2 Bam ~ $5,800.00; 3 BRm - $6,600.00.

Proposed locations for low cost housing are being coordinated with the Planning Dept., for adequacy of Communtiy Facilities, existing or proposed.
Proposals are also reviewed periodically with the School Dept. for adequacy of school facilities,

The Foundation for Cooperative Housing, which developed Eastwych Village and Cambridge Square (both in DeKalb County), are sponsoring the 200 unit
London Town House development in Atlanta (Item F-5),

In view of difficulties encountered in zoning and setting other avprovals 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 vortion of the program on small scattered
sites. Thus far, 555 single family houses (Item F-12) and 2,)));0 units in duplexes and relatively small apartment developments, all under conventionel
financing, are in this category.

No proposal has yet been made for construction of units (even efficiency or 1 bedroom) to rent or sell for as low as $50.00 per month. The City's
greatest need is in the $30.00 - $50.00 per month-rental purchase range.

Attorney Blackwell in Decatur has proposed a concrete 3bedroom, 1 bath, 1,000 sq. ft. house which he claims can sell for $6,000, plus land costs, incl.
heating and air conditioning equipment,

National Homes Corp. of Lafayette, Inc. placed on the market Feb. 1, 1967, a 800 - 900 S.F. (0.S. dimensions) 3 bedroom, prefabricated, >reassembled
panel, single family house plus a 96 S.F. (1.S. dimensions) storage building manufactured by Arrow Metal Products Corp, to sell under FHA 221 d (2).
Price includes plumbing, electrical, heating units, stove % refrigerator, House can_be completely assembled in &5 man hours; 53 of these (with
conventional plunbing) are being erected (prexsuld) in the Thomasville Urban Renewal Area. Apvrox. 800 sq. ft. house is priced at $12,200, 900 sq. ft.
house is priced at $12,600. Adrian Homes Corp. has proposed a prefab to retail for about $7,500 plus land, foundation, closing and possibly tapping fees
(See Item C-10 for others).

Saul Gray is one of five partners in ea Corporation which owns 280 new units off Bankhead at Elbridge St., which he wants to sell, + a potential
development on the site for 512 additional units, Area is already zoned A~l.

Rehabilitation by Housing Code Division of Building Department on Boulevard in Bedford-Pine U. R. Project (aporoximately 700 wits involved) commenced
February 1. The U. R. project is still in survey and planning stage. A list is available in Housing Resources Committee office of 103 units on
Boulevard which the owners stated they wish to sell, rather than rehabilitate. This list has been made available to the H.A. and toa National
concern interested in developing a Rehabilitation Demonstration project in that area.

Ralph L. Dickey of Atlanta has proposed a non-profit revolving fund enterprise to acquire substandard housing, renovate it and resell, primarily
through private enterprise, CACUR recently decided to form a non-profit corporation to rehabilitate existing units under 221 (h). Morris Brown College
is another such sponsor, .
