Proposed locations for low cost housing are being coordinated with the Planning Dept., for adequacy of Community 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), now has full time representative
in Atlanta and is seeking clients. They are sponsoring the 200 unit London Towne Houses development in Atlanta (Item F-5).

In view of difficulties encountered in zming-and getting other approvals on sites vroposed 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 program on small scattered sites.
Thus far, 86 single family houses (Item F-12) and 1,665 units in duplexes and relatively small apartment developments, under conventional 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.

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 tapving fees
(See Item C-10 for others),

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 (apsroximately 700 units involved) commenced
February 1. The U. R. project is still in survey and planning stage. A list is available in Housinz Resources Committee office of 103 units on
