Dear Mr, Sterne:

As you are well aware, since mid-fall, the Atlanta Housing Authority
has had an extremely serious problem in regard to relations with
tenants,

The Community Relations Commission wishes to commend you and
your fellow Board members for recognizing the gravity of this
pwoblem. Your holding meetings in several of the projects since
December was a very constructive move. Your Board showed the
capacity to listen and to respond.

Although tensions have lessened, the Community Relations Commission
believes that relations between the Authority and the tenants remain

the paramount problem of the Atlanta Housing Authority at this time,
The Commission encourages your Board to continue periodic meetings
in your housing projects.

We wish to commend the appointment of Mr. Les Percells as the
new Director. He is a man of compassion and many years of
experience in the housing field.

The Commission is on call when it cen be of service to the Atlanta
Housing Authority.

Sincerely,

Nat Welch
