Proposed locations for low-income housing are coordinated through the Plano Depto for adequacy of Community · Facilit ies , existing or proposed. Proposals are also reviewed periodically with the School Department for adequacy o f school fa c il ities. ,~. Th e Tr avelers Insurance Company has financed 75 new single fa mily low-cost houses in the Thomasville Urban Renewal proj ect ar e a under the FHA 221 d(2) insured mortgage _programo Equitable has made $1,000,000 available t o Atlanta Mortgage Br ok erage Coo for financing low-cost homes at favorable rateso Interest is still increasing in d evelopme nt of home-owners h ip housingo D. In view of difficulties encountered in zoning and getting other approvals on sites proposed f or large multi-family d e v elopments , it is apparent that the Low-income Housing Program will have to lean heavily on Developers and Builder s provid ing a subs tantial portion of the requirement on small scattered sites by both Conventional and Federal assisted financi n g. Also Publ i c Housing in small projects, to include small developments on scattered sites is strongly advocated, f or future development. E. No p rop osal had yet been made for co~struction of units (even efficiency or 1 bedroom) to rent or sell f or as low as $ 50 pe~ month, although the London Towne Houses, a 221 d(3) co-op development now under construc t ion, is approaching t h is, wi t h its one bedroom unit selling at $69 per month. The City's greatest need is in the $ 30-%50 per month rent a l purcha se r a nge, which appears to have little chance of accomplishment, with substantial governmental subsidyo Fo Prefa b d i stributors and conventional builders have interesting potential houses to offer but, because o f f e a r of loc a l Cod e s , d i ff icul t ies are currently erecting very few single-family houses in Atlanta to sell in the $10,000-$ 15 , 000 range f or wh ic h there i s a strong demand and marketo Perhaps the greatest difficulty is availability of suitably priced la nd wit hin t h e Cit y Limitso Economics for this price-range sales housing requires land which will not cost t h e developer more than ·$ 1 ,500 per uni t.
