�HOUSING RESOURCES COMM ITTEE NOTES I ~ I August 15, 1968 I~ • . ,, •: 12,339 units proposed did not materialize, of which 11,022 were shown in the previous ~eport of May 15, 1968 and 1,317 additional '1 units a re listed in this report, as Lost. (The majority of these losses were due to disapprovals of sites and proposed J: rezoning.) \ i3 . ' Pr oposed locations for low-cost housing are coordinated through the Planning Dept., for adequacy of Community Facilities, existing or proposed. Proposals are also reviewed periodically with the School Department for adequacy of school facilities. t~. An engineering firm from Savannah, McNamara & Associates, Consulting Engine~rs, has made presentations in Atlanta of a "patent applied for" low-cost housing method of construction with flexible design, which is claimed can be constructed quickly on site, employing mostly untrained labor and at a savings of 10%-15% under conventional construction. This firm established connections with a reputable c onstruction firm in Atlanta and a local architect.\ This team is anxious to a c quire a 10 acre tract in the Model Cities are ·to construct an experimental Housing project ,. ~- The Travelers Insurance Company has financed 70 or more new single family low-cost houses in the Thomasville Urban Renewal p r oject ~rea under the FHA 221 D (2) insured mortgage program. Equitable has made $1,000,000 available to Atlanta Mortgage Broker ag e Company for financing low-cost homes at favorable rates. Interest is inc_reasing in development of this_ type I?-ousing.

In vie w of difficulties encountered in zoning and getting other approvals on sites proposed for large multi-family developme nts, it is apparent that the Low-income Housing Program will have to lean heavily on Developers and Builders providing a subs ta n t ial portion of the requirement on small scattered sites, with or without Federal assistance. -·,:.,~ . No proposal had yet been made for construction of units (even efficiency or 1 bedroom) to rent or sell for as low as $50 per month , although the London Towne Houses :; a 221 d (3) co-op development now under construction, is approaching this close, wi t h it s o ne bedroom un i t selling at $69 per month. The City's greatest need is in the $30-$50 per month ren t al-purchase r a nge. (J. Ric h a r d I.. Fullerton Associates proposed a fibre glass "manufactured" patented process, 3 bedroom and bath house (900 sq. ft. & ca r p o r t) with w-to-w carpeting and air conditioning, which he ~laims can sell for $9,000-$9,500, including land estimated t o c ost $ 1 , 500. very few . Pr ef ab d istrib u tors and conv~tional builders have interesting potential houses to offer but, because of fear of local Codes difficult ies, ar e producing/single-family houses in Atlanta to sell in the $10,000-$12,500 range for which there ·is a strong dema~ and marke t. Per h aps the greatest difficulty is availability of suitably priced land within the City Limits. Economi cs for this pr ic e-range sales housing requires land which will not cost the developer more than $1,500 per unit, (a 5 , 000 s q. ft. lot i s c onsidered ample for this type house). · H. L The no n -pro f it Hous i n g Development Corp . of Metropolitan Atlanta is now in business .
