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. Theyare sponsoring the 200 unit London Towne Houses development in Atlanta (Item F-5).
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 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.
