CITY OF INDIANAPOLIS RICHARD G. LUGAR, MAYOR November 13, 1968 • ·Colonel Malcolm Jones Housing Coordinator Office of the Mayor Atlanta, Georgia Dear Colonel Jones: I certainly want to thank you for taking so much time out of your schedule to be with our delegation from Indianapolis last week. Our treatment was certainly first-class and we enjoyed southern hospitality at its finest. All citizens of Atlanta can certainly be proud of your city. Everyone seemed to think that Atlanta was the finest and they were proud to be citizens of Atlanta. It seems to me that this is half the battle--getting your own citizens enthusiastic about their hometown. Our trip was very beneficial. We learned much about your several county zoning program, your housing program and especially the Model cities program. Dave Meeker and I both enjoye d very much talking with Mr. Johnson and Mr. Scott of the Model Cities staff. If there is ever anything that any of us from the official family of Indianapolis can do to reciprocate your hospitality, I hope that you will feel free to call upon us. We have several things in Indianapolis that we are equally proud of and would consider it an honor to be able to show them to you. Again, our d eepest appreciation to all who made our visit so enjoyable. Sincerely , J'ames T .

Atl anta , Georgia 30310 Dear Jim : In accordance with our recent meeti ng I hope that the information be low wi ll further elaborate on my estimations of the functions of an experimental housing center" in the Model Cities area. 11 Fi r st. I feel t hat the center should be closely identified with the people an d housing problems of t he model cities area. Furthennore , i ts program component s and policies should be reflections of the probl ems as the citi zens see t hem, and thus interpreted into a realisti c pl an of acti on by competent professi onals. Secondly, I would suggest t hat you explore the possibility of rehabil i tating a residentia l structure wi t hin the Model Ci tie s area to house (office} the program staff. This would give a vi sual symbol of what can be done with some of the huge ol d structures and in addition would bring the staff closer to the housing problems of the area. I am sure that there are other advantages t o such a move. Thirdly, in tenns of program components, I suggest for consideration the following organizational arrangement for the center: A Housina Policy Corm1ittee - to be selected by the res i ents of t he area. Broad func t ions would include policy making, negotiating with public and private organizations and agencies for solutions to specific housing problems in the area. It would be composed of several subcorrmittees to deal directly with problems and issues, including rel ocat ion, real estate, zoning and building, heal th and fire hazards, renting and purchasing, codes enforcement , site sel ections, demoli t ion , rehabil itati on, and housing discrimination pat t erns .

Corporation, and a system of national housing partnerships, • to meet the national need for low- and moderate- income housing . The Act provides for the formation of a national consortium of major industrial and financial companies to build low- and moderate-income housing, the capital for the consortium being subscribed by these companies. Although the housing industry is one of the largest in the nation, there is no single existing entity which accounts for more· than one-third of one percent of the market, and few firms carry on activities of a national scale. The proposed consortium is envisioned as a dynamic input for lower-income housing that is now lacking. The consortium would be organized as a limited partnership, and the Corporation would serve as the general partner of the limited partnership. Larger investors in the consortium might invest, for example, ten percent o f their commitment in shares of the corporation and agree to provide the balance as direct partners' investments in the limited partnership. Large corporations would thereby involve themselves in meet ing the need for more low- a nd moderate- income housing by investing in the consortium rather than actively using their personnel to produce the housing. �-32The Congressionally chartered corporation, along with its shareholders, will enter i~to a real estate limited partnership that would participate with local partners in the building of housing units with subsidies under federal housing p rog rams. The partnership may provide up to 25 percent of the initial equity investment unless the Corporation determined that more was needed because the necessary investment is not readily obtain a b l e f rom oth e r responsible inv estors res iding o r doi n g business in the lo ca l commu ni t y. The financial feasibility of this proposal is based upon exi st ing rea l estate practice and tax law. Most mul t i -family housing p r ojects, including low- a nd moderate - i ncome proj e cts eligible fo r federal assistance of various . kinds, realize little or no net cash return from operations during the project' s l i f e. Eowe v e r, t h e owne rs o f a ny project are entitle d to take d epreciation d educ t i ons on the f ul l cost of t h e bui ldi n g . Mo re- over , under e x isting tax law, depreciation may be taken in various a ccel erat e d fo r ms, so that substantial amoun ts ar e d e duc tible i n early y ear s of the project' s l ife . These d epreci a - tion deductions plus other deductions result in substantial book los ses fo r the firs t ten ye ar s or longe r. un der existing tax l aws , proj e c t own ers may u se these book l o sses t o o ffset o t h er income in computin g a n n u a l t axes . Fo r �-33- this reason, Llany project owners are willing to make investments that result in boo~ losses in the early years of the project, since these losses reduce the amount of tax currently payable on other income. Each dollar of book loss would reduce the sponsor's current taxes on other income by an amount • varying from 50 cents for a corporation to as high as 70 cents for indi~iduals. Accordingly, many housing projects today are directly owned either by corporations or by individuals j possessing other income. / partnerships to pass through such tax losses to the partners. The Internal Revenue Code allows The consortium is proposed to achieve the following purposes: a. To attract new financial resources from roajor corporate enterprises to an instrument organized primarily for the production of housing for low- and moderate-income families; b. To increase substantially the volume of production of such housing over levels pr~sently attainable; c. To attract and to develop managerial and professional talent able to work knowledgeably and s ens itively with housing programs at all levels of government; d.

ALEXANDER. Chairman Housin g Resources Committee MALCOLM D. JONES Housing Coordinator Mr. Dan E. Sweat, Jr. Director of Governmental Liaison Reference is made to your Memo of September 20 and Bill Wofford's letter of September 12 to Mayor Allen pertaining to difficulties encountered in Housing Code enforcement in the Cooper-Glenn area. FHA has recently liberalized its policy by relaxing its requirements for mortgage insurance. This should help. A copy of the liber al ized policy is attached. The billion dollar commitment by the Insurance Industry to the President for purchase of mortgages in hard-core and previously uninsurable areas, should also assist somewhat in this field. However, insurance companies are still extremely reluctant to make the loans without FHA insured mortgages. The Housing Act of 1968 has liberalized the requirements for direct 3% Federal Loans, under Section 312 of the Act, and has increased maximum Federal Grants, under Section 115, for rehabilitation from $1,500 to $3,000 for needy home owners. However, both the Federal Loans and Grants are still limited to certain areas; these are: Urban Renewal areas, Code Enforcement areas, Neighborhood Development Pr ogram areas, Section 117 areas (which require little acquisition), Certified areas (See sub-par. (B)(i), Section 509) and the so-called "Fair P lan° areas (See Section 1211 of the Act and sub-par. (C)(i), Section 509). At present, it appears that the Cooper-Glenn area .. does not automa tically qualify under any of the above indicated Sections of the Act; and if sufficient improvement is made in the area through rehabilitation, this could still poss ibly prevent subsequent qualification of the area for an Urban Renewal Project. This has been confirmed by a Federal official. I have been advised by Mr. Phillip Johnson of the Rehabilitation Loans and Grants Branch of Renewal Assistance Administration of HUD, the mere fact that this or other areas are included in Atlanta's Model Cities area is insuff~cient within itself to enable property owners to qualify for assistance under the 1968 National Housing Act; that perhaps the simpliest and quickest means of qualifying the �Mr. Dan E . Sweat, Jr. October 4, 1968 Page 2 the Cooper-Glenn area, as well as other similar areas, for direct Federal Loans and Grants would be through the filing and Federal approval of an application for a "Certified" area; and further, that in order to qualify for direct 3% Federal Loans and Rehabilitation Grants, the property involved must be residential and owner-occupied; definite boundaries must be established for the area; the area must be eligible for Urban Renewal within a three (3) year period; and the City must demonstrate its ability to meet its share of the Urban Renewal costs within that length of time; and the Federal authorization will be limited to a l year's duration. A,,owner-occupied residential structure may comprise 1-4 units; the Federal Loans and Grants are 100%. However, administration of applications and follow through, except in Urban Renewal areas, must be borne 100% by City funds; and the individual applications must be processed by a City designated LPA and filed with the Rehabiliation Loans and Grants Branch of the Renewal Assistance Administration of HUD at 645 Peachtree. Even though the application for a Certified area may be approved by HUD, I have been informed that the Federal authorizat·ion for expenditures is still extremely limited and funds may not be a'\Eli.lable until additional funding by Congress. The "Fair Plan" to which reference is made in sub-par. (C)(i), Section 509 and Section 1211 of the Act (See "Fair Plan", page 83, Public Law 90-448) requires the passage by the State of Fair Act legisl a tion. To d ate, no State has passed such legislation and only one State : is .workipg on it. If and when the State passes the required Fair Act legislation, specific areas will not then have to qualify as "Certified" areas. It thus appears that the liberalization of extending the direct 3% F ederal Loans and increasing t _h e Federal Grants to $3 1 000 will not apply on a City wide basis (but will apply only within certain specif i ed areas discussed above); that it can only be ta k en advantage of on a city wid e ba s is when and after the State Fair Act ha s bee n enacted by the St a te Leg isl at ure. All of t he above has been derived f r om curr ent interpre tati ons of the Act b y those in HUD who have at tended speci al b r i e fing conferences in Washington on provisi ons o f the Ac t . It is still wi thou t interpreting administrativ e mater i al . To me, this a l l appears t o b o il d o wn to this: Federal Assistance in the form of Direct Loans and Rehabilitation Grants to owneroccupants of residential properties can only be obtained in Urban Renewal areas , Code Enforcement areas, Neighborhood Development Program areas, Certified areas, Section 117 areas and Fair Plan areas, only one type of which currently exists in Atlanta i.e. Urban Renewal areas. �Mr. Dan E . Sweat, Jr. October 4, 1968 Page 3 Furthermore, it is also quite clea r that Atlanta does not have enough time nor money to qualify all of its slum areas for Federa l assistance; and that it is a fallacy to deliberately hold in suspense any area which is in need of substantial residential improvement, whj}e hopefully waiting for e x tensive direct Federal assistance. I f we are to eliminate the slums and put ever y family in a d ecent, safe and sanitary dwel l ing, as the Mayor has indicated, in a 5-yea r period, or even within the next 10 years, in addition to such Federal Assistance as may become aw l able in any of the various type Federal approved areas which may be designated, the following steps are necess ary: A.

C. 20411 ASSISTANT SECRETARY-COMMISSIONER August 2, 1968 68-8 • TO: ALL APPROVED MORTGAGEES SUBJECT: RELAXATION OF MORTGAGE INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS We have just notified our insuring offices that FHA, with the Housing and Urban Development Act of 1968, now has a congressional mandate to allow every valuator in the agency to perform his function in determining value in many areas without t .he administrative limitations of "economic soundness" and "economic life." The new act eliminates any limitation upon FHA participation in inner city areas on account of neighborhood blight or the age of the properties. ( __ FHA insurance programs are to be used everywhere, provided only that the individual property meets eligibility requirements which have been sufficiently broadened by the new act to iimit rejection only to those instances where a property has so deteriorated or is subject to such hazards, noxious odors, grossly offensive sights or excessive noises that the physical improvements are endangered or the livability of the property or the health or safety of its occupants are seriously affected. A property will be deemed to be an acceptable risk when a market exists and the property is free of the above cited dangers. FHA's mission is clear. It is to meet the housing needs of all people. We ask for the cooperation of all FHA approved mortgagees in the fulfillment of this mission. FHA mortgage insurance will adequately protect the mortgagee's investment, and the careful professional work of our valuators will further protect the mortgagee's and the Secretary's interests. With your help, we will effectively broaden the housing choices available to all of the public and lessen the blight upon c e rtain properti e s and areas that the denial of financing benefits can impose.

This meeting will feature a presentation by the Model Cities Staff to the Model Cities Executive Board of the proposed plans for development for the Model Cities area. This is very timely and should be interesting and stimulatin~ especially in view of the new approach to Urban Renewal known as the "Neighborhood Development Program" recently authorized by the Housing Act of 1968. This requires planning and execution to be done simultaneously by increments, approved on a yearly basis. It is expected that Model Cities will get into the execution phase under this new concept by January 1, 1969.

C. 20410 April 9, 1968 OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY FOR RENEWAL AND HOUSING ASSISTANCE LOCAL PUBLIC AGENCY LETTER NO. 454 SUBJECT: (SUPERSEDES NO. 281~) Using the Urban Renewal Program to Provide Low Cost Public Housing Sites To encourage housing for low-income families, it is HUD policy to use the urban renewal program to provide sites for low-rent public housing, and to expedite the provision of such housing. (See LPA Letter No. 418 for a discussion of HUD policy pertaining to the designation of urban renewal projects for "priority consideration" if they contribute to the national goal of expanding the housing supply for low and moderate income fmnilies.) C Use of the urban renewal program to provide such sites is particularly advantageous in high-cost housing areas since it absorbs the Vhigh cost of acquisition of built-up land, site cle~rance and relocation. In addition, project property for low-rent public housing is made available at the special prices provided under Section 1O7(b) of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended. In areas with high per-unit costs, where public housing is necessary as a relocation resource to serve other urban renewal projects, the Department will give special consideration to Survey and Planning Applications for se~arate single-purpose public housing site p rojects, or other projects involving substantial amounts of public housing. ! These projects may acquire and clear sites, or acquire housing for rehabilitation by a Local Housing Authority (LEA) for low-rent public housing. Several techniques may be used separately, or in combination, to expedite the carrying out of such projects: ~. Hanclling of such sites or L,ousing as single-purpose urban renewal projects. 2. Acquisition of land under an Early Land Acquisition Loan. 3. Carrying out project execution activities with local funds during the planning stage. .I �.. 2 1. ~ 4. Priority staging of acquisition, site preparation work, and land disposal during the execution stage. 5. Arranging for site preparation work to be carried out by the IJIA. PUBLIC HOUSWG SITES PS SEPARATE URBAN RENEWAL PROJECTS An urban renewa.l pro~ ·c t for the exclusive use of low-rent public housing is particularly useful to meet the relocation housing needs of low-income families in other urban renewal projects. Such a singlepurpose project may be separat.ed in planning from another urban renewal project or may be in a separate location. i While such a project must meet basic urban renewal requirements, it may be planned and carried out much more rapidly, and simply, than . multiple - use projects. Jyoject area selectj.on--Aside from eligibility factors, planning considerations are limited to the suitability and the boundaries of the project area for housing uses. . prban renewal pla.u--The urban renewal plan and the report on planning proposa.ls will be very simple. The l snd use plan vi.11 .be limited to a single use , residential, and the controls and other elements of the plan and report will be correspondingly simplified. ~~nd Di spo~al--Since the real property will be connnitted to a single public use, land utilization and marketability studies and reports, evidence of mortgage fi nancing and certain other documentation will not be pertinent. Since the weal Housing Authority is committed, at an a.greed price, to purche.se the site from the LPA, before Part II of the Lo3ll and Grant Application is approvea., disposition activities related to the public housing project or site will be comparatively minor during the execution phase. They will consist primarily of appraisal and price determinations, in accordance with the provisions of Section 107(b), and preparation of disposition instruments. FinanciA,_~ plan~..rr'he noncash local grant-in~aid credit for the local public housing contribution, under Section 107(b) of the Housing Act of 1949, as amended by the Housing Act of 1964, may provide the loca.l share of net project cost of the urban renewal project. Therefore, no further commitments for financing the local share may be necessary. This does not, of course, preclude the funlishing by the locality of additional noncash grants- in- aid for pooling purposeso ') -- 1 �3 2. . ACQJlISITl ON OF Ll\Jfil UNDER EARLY LOJ-ID ACQUISITION LOAN If early land acquisition activities are pennitted by State or local law, the LPA mey apply for an Early Land Acquisition Loan to finance the acquisition of. land, property management, relocation of site occupants, and demolition and site clearance during the planning stage. When land is to be disposed of for low-rent public housing, a commitment by the LHA, . guaranteed by the Department of Housing E!Jld Urban Development (DJHUD) under an Annual Contribution Contract (Ace), to assume responsibility for any loss to the Federal Government if an urban renewal project is not carried out, will be accepted in lieu qf a commitment by the local governing bogy. Early land acquisition will expedite the completion of site preparation work, and delivery of the site for the public housing project after execution of the loan and grant contract. 3. CARRY nm C our EXECUTION ACTIVITIBS WITH LOCAL FUNDS DURrnG PLAlUUNG If it will contribute to the acceleration of the acquisition, preparation and• disposal of low-rent public housing sites, HUD may issue a "Letter of Consent" a:cthorizing the LPA to undertake these activities ·with locaJ. funds during the planning staee. t/ . A .,Letter of Consent 11 (as used for this and other purposes) is merely a determination that expenditures made by the LPA in carrying out the specified activities will not be excluded f'rom gross project cost solely be'cause they were incurred prior to the effective date of a contract for loan and grant, or the issuance of a project expenditures budget. However, for the costs to be eligible for inclusion in gross project cost, the .activities authorized by the Letter must be carried out in f'ull confonnance with all HUD policies and requirements applicable under an executed contra ct for loan and grD.nto The LPA should consult with the HUD Regional Office concerning the requirements to be met before a "Letter of Consent" mey be issued. 4. PRIORITY STAGING OF PROJECT EXECUTION ACTIVITIES The LPA mey give priority to the acquisition, preparation, and disposal of low-rent public housing sites in multi-purpose projects during the execution stage. While this will not permit as much acceleration as the carrying out of separate single- purpose public housing projects, the construction and colliJ )letion of ne.w public hoµsing frequently can be . carried out whil~ acquisition, relocation, ·rehabilitation, and site clearance ( �4 activ~ties are still underway in other .parts of the project. Frequently, activities can be expedited in both . single-purpose and multi-purpose projects. For example, the HUD Regional Office may authorize the LPA to contract for second land acquisition appraisals prior to the submission of Part I of the loan and grant applications if: 5. ' (1) the boundaries of the low-rent public housing site have been finuly established1 (2) the public housing use is consistent with the urbaii renewal plan being prepared for the project area, and (3) such action is necessary to assure completion of the appraisal vork before execution of the loan and grant contract. SITE CLEARANCE AND PREPARA.TION BY LOCAL HOUSlliG AlJrH0RITY i In some cases, considerable time mey be saved if the LHA carries out site clearance and preparation actiyj_ties. The lJIA may carry out site clearance and preparation activities under a ~ontract or other -written agreement (see Urban Renewal Manual, Section 30-2-1); or land in the low-rent public housing site may be disposed of with existing improvements, and responsibility for site clearance e.nd preparation activities included in the LHA's contract with Housing Assistance Administration. l In any case, the LPA is responsible for carrying out r elocation of site occupants and making r elocation peyments in accordance with the approved Relocation Program using its ovm staff or contracting \Tith the LHA or othe r s_gency. The LPA shall not disnose of in..iproved land in the low- rent public housing site before the buildings have be@n ·vacated . _______ 143.215.248.55.... Don Hummel Assistant Se cretary HUD-Wash., D.

Those present were Vice Chai:nnan Moreland Smith, Mr. Cecil Alexander , Colonel Malcolm Jones , Mr. He:nnan Rus sell, Mr . Henry Alexander, Mr . Robert C. Watki ns , and Mr. D. P. Elliott. The following guests were also present: Mr. Malcolm Little, Director of City Planning, Georgia _Tech; Mr. Johnny Johnson, Dir ector of Model Cities Program, City of Atlanta; Mr . James Wright, Physical Planning Coordinator, · Mqdel Cities Program, City of Atlanta; and Mr. Wayne Moore , Metropolitan Planning Commission. Reverend John A. Middleton, Mr. James Moore and Dr. E. D. Harrison could not be present. Dr. Harris on was r epres ent ed by Mr . Bob Winn. Mr. Smith presided and called on Colonel Jones to review the status of the Housing Resources Committee and to state Chairman Alexander's recent charge to the Construction and Design Panel. Colonel Jones stated that as of now some 3,000 housing units have been completed and 5,000 are under construction which relate,. to t he Committge ' g ~hargg ! A lax-ge m1mber of uni ts are now i n planning and Col onel Jones f eels some 6,000 of these may r each t he const ructi on stage . Colonel J ones stated they were hoping to analyze the program and future charges to the Housing Resources Committee with Mayor Allen within a few days. Colonel Jones a l s o commented on a joint meeting of the Housing Resourc es Committ ee with t he Board of Alderm~n ' s Planni ng and Development and Building Committees . The bui ld i ng cod es of Atlanta were considered and Mr . Woffor d, Build i ng Officia l, was present . Mr . Wof fo r c felt that th e codes of t he City of Atlanta were sufficient to meet the needs that exist. v The Housing Res ources Committee has suggested that exceptions be made to the codes f or specific needs . Mr . Wofford request ed spec i f ic r ecommendations for changes or exceptions to t he code be made r ather t han charges unsubstantiated by documentation . Accordingly, the Con~truction and Des i gn Panel is now charged with examini ng t he code s i tuat ion , and with working with contractors , devel oper s and others to draft these r ecommendat i ons and remain in communicat i on with a l l c oncerned regar ding t his work. Mr. Cecil Alexander, Chairman of t he Housing Res ources Comm itt ee, stated that he felt the Model Cities Program i s the key s t one of our ef fort s and that he feels a major r eason we ha ve not as yet been chosen by HUD for experimental housing i s because our codes ar e not liber a l enough. He noted t hat a series of studies ha ve been made by the Metropolitan Planning C0;nmission and t hat Mr. Moore ( pres ,~i~t at t his meeting ) is willing to help on t his most t echnical s ubject. Mr . Alexander i el t that all we can do v is to .spot specif i c deficiencies and to make r ecommennRt ions ; t hat we cannot r ewrite t he codes . He suggested the fo::.-1owing: (1 ) a r ev i •·w• of code studies already performed ; ( 2) communications with prefabricated hous i ng manufacturers as t o th e ir experi ences concerning codes; ( 3) communications with HUD concerning t hei r requirements; ( 4) communications with the bu ilding inspectors, plumbing inspectors, electrical inspectors and so f orth. Mr. Johnny Johnson, Director of the_ Mod el Cities Program for t he City of Atl anta, stated that he felt a need to create and i nnovate in housing is E;:JSPl icit in t he Model Cities -Program requirements. He feels t hat a part of the problemmight well be in �-2- Vthe interpretation of the existing codes rather than in the cod~ itself in many cases. He feels that the Model Cities Program should be able to do some things which are different and that they need support for these. They will seek: to receive some freedom through the Mayor's Office, Board of Aldermen and the Building Inspector's Office to innovate with new techniques and new materials. i Mr. Johnson noted that demonstration cities have not yet been named by HUD and that if Atlanta is .1J9.med we must be ready to take advantage of 1this program. His office has engaged 'tric Hill & Company to make a study of the modifications necessary. in the codes of Atlanta to implement Model City Programs. A cqpy of their findings will be provided to the Panel. ' Mr. Jim Wright of the Model Cities Program stated that so far the study by Eric ijill & Company has suggested three criteria for codes: (1) they should be based on performance as much as possible; (2) there should be as few specific restrictions as ppssible, and; (3) an "or equal" clause should be inserted whenever specifics are made a part of the code. He noted that these standards will be necessary to prop·e rly administer the Model Cities Program. Mr. Wright believes that New York City has such a code and possibly the City of Chicago also. Mr. Johnson stated that some 7,000 housing units in the Model Cities area are --,. substandard. Thus, six or seven thousand new units will be needed in the next several years in an area which comprises only 4% of Atlanta's land area· just to relocate these residents. Mr. Moore, of the Metropoli~ an Planning Commission, felt that writing codes is unnecessary and impossible. He stated that there are four model codes and that regardless of claims, the Atlanta code is not the same as national codes. He stated that they vary considerably and that the plumbing code in particular is far from any national code and that most prov isions in it are arbitrary. These differences should be easy to detect and he feels the Plumbing Inspection Department should be required to justify the requirements which vary from National Standards. Mr. Moore suggested that to make a quick step a recommendation should be made to go to one of the model codes because there is no provision in the plumbing code, for example, for ammendment except by action of the Board of Aldermen on each specific point. - -:: ~ ~ 1' ~ tJ Mr. Moore suggested that the Panel try to get the Southern Standard Code accepte~ and noted that the administrative offices for this code provide for profess ional evaluation of new method s. Mr. Malcolm Little stated that the Southern Code is better --t than the National Codes because the latter are not revised often and the Southern Code is. ~ Mr. Alexander commented on the experience .of National Homes in th e Thomasville Urban Renewal Area in seeking wa ivers or exceptions to the code. Basically two houses were to be built as demons tration units. One deficiency was that there were not enough electrical outlets. Another is that plastic waste lines and preassembled copper supply lines and fiberglass tubs and backsplashes were not in accordance with the code ·• . The preassembled copper and plastic lines were fought because "plumbers should not be working in a factory, but outside where it is healthier." He noted, however, that the Building Inspection and Electrical Inspection units have both said that they would send inspectors to a factory at the expense of the manufacturer. The Plumbing Inspection Department so far has not agreed to send inspectors to a factory if the factory is located outside of the City of Atlanta. �-3- Mr. Alexander proposed we consider the slogan "Model Codes for Model Cities." Colonel Jones noted that HUD has started on some experimental construct ion projects on low-cost housing units. One is at Ashburn, Georgia, and one is in Pinellas County, Florida. One deals with low-cost single family units and the other with "golden age" units for the elderly. The following steps were decided to be neces sary by the Panel: 1. 2• 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Coordinate efforts of the Panel with the Model Cities Program. the Southern Building Code idea for implementation in Atlanta. Pursue the National Electr ical Code (Southern Code does not have Electrical Code) for implementation in Atlanta. Contact National Homes and other manufacturers concerning their experiences with codes here and elsewhere. Contact major manufacturer s who would be involved and get their views and enlist their support if possible. Contact Mr. Wof ford and ot her members of t he Building Inspection Department; Keep them inf or med. Try to enlist t hem. Follow up with Mr. Moore concerning the efforts of the Metropolitan Planning Commission in coordination with the Panel. .Pursue Mr. Johns on noted that the Model Cities Program· in Atlanta· is'hoping to build a multi-unit condominium which is des i gned to meet the Sout her n Code Standards as well as other projects in Atlanta by Mar h of 1969,as demonstration units. He noted that i t will be necessary to pr ovi de housing f or any r esidents displaced while construction is going on. ~ . . Mr. Little said that the School of City Planning will be doing a study of mobile t-ype housing which will cons id er the ·attitudes of people toward l i ving in that type of housing. Mr. Smit h a dj ourned the meeting and s t ated t hat he or Dr . Harris on would reconvene the. Panel in the near future . In t he meantime , he will be f oll ow i ng up with various members concer ning t he items discussed today. The meeting was adjour ned. Colonel Malcolm J ones provi ded t his i nformation f or the recor d : I t is h is under standing that a state code has been adopted which applies to manufactured housing of the mobile home type and stated that additional information could be obtained from Mr. John B. ~ \1)l ey, Jr., Executive Vice Pr es i dent, Sout heaster n Mobile Homes I nstitute , Inc., Suite A-1, 348 Ea st Paces Ferry Road,·N.

Mr. Schmidt of National Hornes Acceptance Corporation, in Atlanta, gave t his information . . It originated with Mr. Price, Chairman of the Board of National Homes : Colonel Jones further stated that Mr. Willard Wirth of National Hom.e s in Lafayette, Indiana, is making a study to see what changes would be necessary in the City of Atlanta's codes to make the same units used in Chicago acceptable in Atlanta . · cc: Mr. Moreland Smith Mr. Cecil Alexander Mr. Malcolm Jones v �--------- ""'"'"' """" , ~,~!.~...,,!Y,,-Housing inc.

Padnos Director MDP/ cj cc: Mr. Dan Sweat V Offic e of the Mayor SPONSORED BY UNITED APPEAL AND ECONOM I C OPPORTUNITY ATLANTA, INC . �{ MINUTE$ I Housing Resources Executive Committee and Low•income Housing Coordinating Group Meeting October 3, 1968 The regular monthly meeting of the Housing Resources Executive Committee and the Low-income Housing Coordinating Group was held at 9:30 a.rn., on Thursday, October 3 1 1968, as a tour through portions of the City of Atlanta to observe the different slum areas and some of the typical new low-income housing projects going up in the City. This tour was sponsored jointly by the IIllC and EOA, Inc. The bus •as arranged for by EOA. List of those invited, with attendance indicated, agenda, project data and other related documents are attsched to the file copy of these minutes only. The first area visited on the tour was the Bedford-Pine Urban Renewal Area. Mr. Lester Parsells, Associate Executive Director of the Housing Authority, acted as narrator during the tour through the Bedford-Pine area. This area is located near downtown .Atlanta and is North, East and Southwest of the new Civic Center on Piedmont Avenue. This is one of our worst slums. The Urban Renewal project is still in the Planning stage, but is expected to get in execution soon, perhaps under the newly approved Neighborho~d Development Program of the 1968 Housing Act. It will take about - 2½ years from now to clear the land in the clearance port i on. The reason fo r it taking so long is that it will have to be ta ken block by block . Many of the families in this area will have to be relocated. Some of the houses or buildings ~1 1 1· not be demolished but will be rehabilitated, Th·e \'lest side of Pz r kway Drive, South of Forrest Avenue, in the Bedford-Pine area i s to be used for Commerical development and the East side of Pa r kway Drive, South of Forrest Avenue, is intended for the Georgia Baptist Hos pit al Expa ns ion program. The people are work ing toge the r to help cle a n up the a r eas and a re work ing on a rat control pr og ram i n the a rea. Th e fi r st s t o p wa s Whe~t Stree t Garden Apa rtments in the Butler St reet Urba n Re newa l area . Th ls is a 221 d{3) pro ject, Non•pro f it and Re n t Suppl ement . The non-profit s ponsor is t he Wheat Stre et Baptist Churc h. The ? a stor is Rev. Wi l l i am Ho lmes Borders . The Whe a t Street Garden Apa r t ments are being developed in three phases. In Phase I there are 280 u nits , which are all two bedrooms with the rent for the upstairs apartme n t s at $74.00 and the downstairs apartments a t $71.00. This section was completed just before the current accelerated low-income ho~sing program started. Ph~se II of the project bas 84 units with rent for a one bedroom apartment being $79. 0 0 and the rent on the 3 bedroom apartments being $98. 00. The cost per unit of Phase II was $10, 912 of FHA Commitment. In Ph~se III of the projec t there �Page 2 are 108 units of three bedrooms at $140.00 with $80.00 a month Rent Supplement. The cost per unit of P hase XII is $12,500, FHA Commitment. We then traveled to another section of the City which is commonly !mown as "Lightening". Lightening is located almost in the heart of the City between Northside Drive and Marietta Street. This are~ is zoned M-2 (Heavy Industry). Most of the housing is d ilapidated and the streets are so narrow that it is almost impossible to get a car through them. Old, abandoned cars line most of the streets of the area, which h i nder the safety of the area. People from this area and many of the other slum areas are being hired for $1.60 an, hour to clean up the streets and to work with the small children. Li ghtening is considered the worst s l um in At lanta . A wal k through portions of this area, brought the tour group into first hand contact with the slum conditions which exist in this and other similar areas. The realization of the need for clearance and rebuildingaf something useful in this area was dramatic. The bus then took us t o and through the Vine City area . Vine City has long been considered for an Urban Renewal project. The main prob lem that lies here is l ack o f citizen agreement on participation. Here like in many o f the other slum areas, the houses are built r ight next to each other, with roofs and floors about to c ave in. P lumbing, which is no t up to standard, is a hazard to t he safety and health o f pe o ple in this area. We then traveled t o the Frie ndship Center in the Unive r sity Urban Ronewal area . The Friendship Center is a 22 1 d(3) Nonpro fit project. The non-profit sponsor i s the Fr iendshi p Baptist Church , Rev . Sa mual Will iams , ~ast o r . The developer is Celotex Corporation and the Bu i l d e r was Ro ge r s Construction Comp any .

MOSES, Exe cutive Sec retary DAN E. SWEAT, JR., Director of Governmental Liaison MEMORANDUM To: Ann From: Faye The meeting scheduled for ll:00 Monday morning 1s with Mr. Gary Abrams of the Kaiser Corporation. Col. Jones and Cecil Alexander have been asked to sit in on the meeting since it concerns the HUD experimental housin g project. Col. Jones says he g ave the Mayor a memo on Monday regarding this project and this memo should be good background information for the meeting. The Kaiser Corporation has been awarded the contract on the experimental housing program. They will make recommendations to H UD for the choice of cities to be includ ed. Johnny Johnson understands from Dan that 12 of the 20 cities to have these projects have been selected but Atlanta is not one of th e 12. Johnny has had several calls from the Kaiser Corporation to get additional information on Atlanta and he thinks we are still being considered. Johnny feels the Mayor should impress upon Mr. Abrams Atlanta's interest in being one of these 20 cities. �Summary of S ituation re HUD 's Experimential Housing Pr oject July 15, 1968 April 22 - Mr . H. Ralph Ta ylor, As~istant Se c reta~y of HUD , wrote Mayor Al len explaining the proposed proJect and asked if tlanta wished to participate . The letter stated in part: " These experiments will be carried out only in cities which are willing to cooperate in the development of innovative techniques aimed at generating a h i gher level of housing construction for l ow-income families", and "The Depa rtment will be committing not o nly substantial research funds in this effort, but als o tens of millions of dollars of program funds from several program sources." May 6 - Mayor Allen replied to Secretary Taylor, stating that we definitely want Atlanta included among the cities to be selected for the Experimental Housing project and expressing desire to cooperate fully. ( Atlanta 's application for Model Ci ties stated that Atlanta is prepared to amend applica tion of its codes and ordinances within the Model Cities area as appropriate . ) June 21 - Mayor Allen 's letter of ay 6 acknowledged by Secretary Tayl or, assuring that ev ery possible consideration will be giv en Mayor Alle n ' s recomme nd ation and he would be pleased to advis e when final decision is reached . May 8 - S tudy t e am of ABT-DMJM ( ABT Associates, Inc ., and Da niel, Ma nn , Johnson and Mendenhall) headed by Mr . Allan W. Ca meron, visited Atlanta . Initial conference wa s held with Dan Sweat. Remainder of day, team was escorted ab ou t town by Malc olm Jones who made appointments with key indivials as requested by team and accompanied team representatives on visits . Team was provided a l l materials and records requested. Ma y 24 -2 5 - En larged study team visited Atlanta. Dan Sweat's office made appointments in advance with those requested and his office was made available for use by the team. Malc o lm Jones agai n escorted team members abou t town and arranged for additional interviews and materials requested . May 27 - 28 Malcolm Jones again assisted Mr. James B . Frisby, t eam consultant , in obta i ning additional materials desired. Every possible courtesy was shown the team and complete cooperation given its ~epresentatives by all concerned. The team expressed satisfaction and pleasure re recepti o n and coope:iat ion furnished in Atlanta and ind ica ted that Atlanta would have high priority in its recommendations. June 18 - Mr . Fra nk Shakelford o f Alst on, Miller and Gaines wr ote to Se natois Talmadge and Russell and to Representative Fl etcher Thompson requesting their a~sistance in getting ABT- DMJ M selected as contractor for P hase II and stating that Atlanta is one o f the 15 cities selected . (This reference to Atlanta appears to be prematur e and in error , since the survey report was not due in HUD until June 15) . Al l 3 recipients of Shackelford ' s le tte ~ contacted the Secre tary of the De partment of Housing and Urban Development i n response to Shakelfo rd ' s r e quest. July 2 - Shackel f ord wrote another letter to each o f the above . Members of Congress expressing distress over Atlanta not being included in the 12 cities s e lected and reques ted that HUD be ur ge d to reconsider for selection of 15 ins tead of 12 cities and include At l anta as o ne of t hose to be added. Fletche r Th ompson has written to Secre tary We aver urging such rec o nsidera tion. Action o f Se nators Russell a nd Ta lmadge is not yet known. (Apparently the basis of information on which Mr . Shakelfo rd wrot e letters on July 2 requesting reconsideration by HUD and inclusion of Atlant a in the list of selec t e d ci ti es ) was res ult of t e l ephone cal l fr om Mr . Francis Green in Was hing ton, whose law f irm wa s engaged as General Counsel by ABT- DMJM for its surve y. Mr. Gree n accompani e d the survey team to Atlanta on its second visi t and consulted with Alston Miller and Gaines at that t ime . ' �Summary July 15, 1968 Page 2 According to reliab l e sou r ce, certain officials f r om ash i ngton, D .C., in position t o know the inside story, passed through Atlanta July 7 and advi s ed a l ocal pe r son here i nterested in this project, that Atlanta would probably not b e inc lu ded among the cities to be selected for the Experimental Housing p roject because HUD was seeking cities in which the building codes a r e not too restrictive.

EARL LANDERS , Admin istrative Ass istant MRS . ANN M. MOSES, Executive Secretary DAN E. SWEAT, JR. , Director of Governmental Liaison MEMORANDUM To: Mr. Dan E. Sweat, Jr. Director of Governmental Liaison On May 8 and again on May 24 and 25 a team of consultants from ABT A s sociates and Daniel, Mann, Johnson and Mendenhall from Cambridge, Massachusetts, under contract with HUD, conducted a survey of Atlanta, as one of 25 cities, in interest of Experimental Housing, preferably in Model Cities areas, or at least in close proximity to Model Cities areas. Similar surveys were being conducted simultaneously by two other consultant teams, each assigned 25 additional cities, as Phase I of HUD 1 s special E x perimental Housing program. The mission of the team is to report to HUD by June 15, 1968, its recommendations of cities and specific projects in those cities for HUD to invest $60, 000, 000 during a two year period on Experimental Housing projects, to get underway as soon as possible, and in any event by Spring, 1969, at the latest. Phase II (development) of the program is to be carried out by a prime contractor to be selected by HUD. On May 6, Mayor Allen responded to a letter from Mr . Ralph H . Taylor, A s sistant Secretary of HUD, stating that Atlanta is interested in the E x p e rime ntal Housing program; offered to cooperate with it ; and reque ste d that Atlanta be inc2.uded in the list of cities to be selected for this project. It is comte mplate d that the r esults of thes e e x perimental proj e cts in s e lect ed cities will guide the direction fo r dev e lopme n t, th ro u gh HUD , o f t he P re s i d e n t 's p r ogram for 6 , 000 , 000 low - in c ome dwelling unit s over a ten -ye a r pe r iod , fo r whi c h the S e nate recently app r o ved 5 b i ll i on dollar s . �Mr. Sweat Page T wo June 7, 1968 I escorted members of the survey team about the city on both visits and assisted in arranging interviews for them with various City officials and prominent businessmen in Atlanta. I have a list of most of those with whom they talked and notes on some of the interviews. I feel that the team accomplished as much as could reasonably be expected during such a short period and that its members were generally pleased with what they learned about conditions in Atlanta and progress being made in the low-income housing program here. With respect to Model Cities, Mr. Johnson informed them that no specific site for new housing had yet been selected in the Model Cities area and that he was reluctant to even suggest a site, until such had been cleared with the Model Cities Executive Board. In response to queries from the team as to when this could be done, Mr. Johnson further e x plained that if policy determination is made at top City level, he thbught he could present the matter to his E xe cutive Board and obtain its approval within a couple of days or so . M r . Johnson w a s d efinite that such site should rtot b e ae uh• d and d e v e lope d thr ou h th - Hous 'ng Author ity und r no rmal Ur ban Ren wal processes ; that to do so would require so m u c h time and be inv olved so much in F ederal red tape, he thought the entire idea might as well be abandoned. D u ring discussion with Mr. Gladin, Mr. Gladin told the c onsultant s that a ny site to b e s e l ected for accelerated advance acquisition would have to be in the Cooper -Glenn area, as that area is slated to be the first Urban R enewal project in the Model Cities area. I personally disagree with the theory that the first experimental housin g proj ect in Model Cities should be in the Coope r - Glenn area. I feel that a more centr a lly lo cated and prominently situated s ite could and should be selected and obtained through some form of advance acquisition ; and that this would give a greater boost to Model Cities and benefit the C ity as a whole more than selection of a site in the Cooper-Glenn area for this purpose. �Mr. Sweat Page Three June 7, 1968 Since Model Cities is to be developed under direct superv1s10n of the Mayor and the City of Atlanta and not as a super Urban Renewal area; and due to the interest and pressure which HUD is now directing to experimental housing, I am of the opinion that authority could be obtained from HUD for early acquisition of almost any reasonable site which the City might designate in the Model Cities area. I feel that (1) approximately a four block area (about 10 acres) centered on the intersection of Connally Place and Crumley Street, S. E. or (2 ) a similar size area centered on the intersection of Reed and Love Streets, S. E. , would provide a suitable location for early acquisition for experimental housing and would cause a minimum of displacement (which will eventually have to be done any way ). This is not likely to be done , however, without specific guidance and direction from the 1\/rayor's Office. Both of the locations indicated above have been shown to and discussed with Jim Wright of the Model Cities staff and their location marked on a map turned over to him. In this connection I call your attention to marked portions {page 3 and 4 ) of the attached copy of Minutes of the Housing Resources Executive Committee meeting of May 2, 1968. I recomme nd that the Model Cities staff be direct e d to c ause s e l e ction soon of a site for housing (preferably experimental) and that formal request be made as soon as possible to HUD to authorize such acquisition, subject to eventual application of such Federal financial assistance as might e ventually apply in the Model Citie s area.

Chairc3 u Cecil n. Alexznder presided. Mr. Alexander opec ?1 the nceting by asking Mr. Archer Smith to give the Committee a report on school construction. Mr. Smith presented the following two proposals: (1) Approach the Sta te Sc hool Building Authority about them leasing school buildings and then sub-leasing them to the City. The State could lease the premises from the developer for 30/40 years and turn then o er to the City of Atlanta on a sub-lease basis. It would take a political decision by the State to re-vamp procedures to allow this. One advantage to this proposal would be that it would apply to all school systems if they so desire. (This was considered perhaps the simplest course of action.) {2) Have a local constitutional amendment passed allowing the City Sc hool Board to enter into leases on a long term basis. This loc a l ~~end~ent would be the more solid way and the local a~endment would be easier to pass. Mr. Alexander asked if the School Board had been approached to see which course of action they would prefer? Mr. Smith stated that they had not, officially, but the School Board would probably go a long with either method. Mr . Jones suggested that the Committee authorize the Legal Panel to contact the School Bo ard and see which they would prefer a nd then pursue that course. A motion was made , seconded a nd adopted that the Legal Panel be so authorized. Mr. John Ch~p~an appe~red before the Committee to discuss a proposal for buildinr. l ow-income housing. He said housing for the lowest inco~e families would pro~ably need to be financed by the Federal govern~ent; that housing for medium income families could be financed through private corporations. He was suggesting dwelling units with rent ra nge~of $70-$80-$90 for 1, 2 or 3 bedrooms respectively. He proposed forming a limited profit corporation, the mer.!bers of which would eac h put up a certain amount of front money, with the intent of building developments which would produce 4-5% profit, instead of the customery 1415% profit. He proposed using private conventional financing �2 entirely, with no connection with Federal assisted programs. He adv~sed he would try to contact several private corporations about putting up money a t a reasonable rate of interest and that if he got enough response from private corporations that this could be done, he would inform the Committee of the reaction he received from this idea. Mr. Alexander con mented on and referred to an article by Vincent T. Burke, in the Los n ngeles Times, March 18, 1968, relating how certain Negro families in Washington had been assisted by a tiny non-profit "Home Buyers" group in obtaining home ownership witho ut ~ny a ssistance from Federal programs or organi~a tior.s. (Cc r y o f the article is attached to the file copy of the~e ~i nutes.) Mr. Pers e l ls re p0r tec.i t o the Con:::1i ttee on the Honor Farm No. 1 Site proposed con ce pt . He presented a map showing approximately 120 acres bet ween the Federal Penitentiary and the Thomasville Ur b a n Re nc~ a l Project t ha t the Federal government proposes to tur n over t o t~e City f o r urban improvement, including hous ing . He expln i ned tha t the portion of the property to be developed f o r hous il-:g and rela ted cmnmercial could be either turned over directly oy HUD to developers, turned over to the City to put ou for bids, or go to Atlanta Housing Authority for develop~ ent through process of Ur ban Renewal. fl meeting of the Al d erma nic P l2 n ning and Development Committee is to be held to cons id er wh a t should b e done. Mr. Persells also advised that a n ew p~ r k ar e a i s to be develope d and an El e mentary School and a " Middle School" ar e to be constructed in the area. The question wa s a sked a b out how housing could be developed in the shortest le ngth of time. Mr. Persells responded we would b e una ble to st ar t b uilding unt i l a stre et and sewer system was b e g un; t hat i s the biggest d ela y. I t wa s sugge sted that the l a nd could be s old t o a developer a nd h e could put in the stree t system simult aneous wi t h t he h o us i ng d e v e lopme nt. Tw o cho i c es we r e recommend e d : (1) The Ci t y o r d e velopers could g o in a nd p ut in the street and ut i lities at their e xpe ns e o f about $270 ,000. 00 . (2 ) Have streets put in b y the Housin g Autho r ity as an Urban RedevelopEent expense. Mr . Pars ells expl~inod that fro~~fi n a ncial sta nd poi nt and time eleme nt , the il03w f avorable sollution would be to have the Housing Authori . y put i n the street Gnd sewer system at Urban Redevelopment expeLse , b e c a use the schools would have to be built any way, and the City ~ould receiv e credit for the schools which would more than pay for the expense of putting streets and sewers in and that they could be put in while the developers were getting their plans approved by the Federal government. �r 3 Mr. Persells advised that topographical maps and surveys had already been made. He also reported that there was a small triangle of land the Federal government doesn't own; stated there were some title difficulties and the only sure way and quickest way to get clear title to the property would be condemnation proceedings through the Urban Re newal process. The Land to be developed for housing and related commercial is to be offered for sale on May 27, 1968, to developers, with proposals called for. Additional land, 17 single-family lots, is to be added to the Thomasville Urban Renewal Site for sale, with ground breaking between May 20-28. Approximately 50 acres of the 120 acre tract of land would be available for housing. Mr. Archer Smith, made a motion that a formal resolution be drawn up that the Housing Resources Committee goes on record as urging the support of the New-Town-In-Town project concept conditioned upon a substantial portion of the project to be developed for lowest-income housing. If this condition is not met, then the Housing Resour ces Committee goes on record as opposed to the project as presently planned. Motion was seconded and unanimously adopted, with instructions that copies go to the Housing Authority, Mayr Ivan Al len, Jr., Members of the Board of Aldermen and to Mr. Baxter, of HUD . Mr . Howland announced that the CACUR non-profit housing development corporation has now selected five units for rehabilitation under 221 (h) and expected to have them under way within 60 days. Mr . Alexander then a s ked Mr . Jones to explain a proposal he had been working on for accelerated low-income housing development in the Model Cities area. Mr. Jones explained the concept and stated that a development team was very anxious to get a tract of about 10 acres f ..cfr an experimental housing development to stzrrt this summer. He read a letter just received by the Mayor from Mr. H. Ra lph Taylor, Assistant Secretary, HUD, proposing a HUD sponsored experimental · housing project in Model Cities area in selected cities to be carried out by a pri~e contractor to be selected by HUD; and inquiring if P.tla nta desired to cooperate? Mr. Jones eKplained that this tied ind irec tly with the proposal he has been working on; that because of multiple ownerships, it is virtually impossible for private dev elopers to acquire land in the Mode l Cities area for this purpose; that therefore he has studied the area and looked at certain sites, with others~ including a representative of Model Cities, and has selected two tentative sites, having badly dilapidated housing which will in all probability be demolished any way, and has marked these on a map for consideration of the Model Cities staff. �I 4 Mr. Jones proposed "advanced land acquisition" to be requested in the Model Cities area on such a site to be sleeted so they would get started on construction of approximately a 10 acre site as soon as possible. A motion was made, seconded and adopted that the Housing Resources Committee recommends that a su i table site be selected in the Model Cities area f or accelerated development of low-income housing (preferably under the experimental housing concept) and that application be made to HUD for authority to acquire the site under the "advance land acquisition" procedures; that copies be provided the Planning and Development Commmittee, Mayor and Board of Aldermen and HUD. Mr. Persells stated that he concurred and that the Housing Authority would go·in·soon with a request that the entire Model Cities area be placed under a GNRP so that this could be done as part of an Urban Renewa l Project within the Model Cities area. He requested support of the HRC to the Planning and Development Committee, the Mayor and Board of Aldermen and to HUD on that proposal so that the "advance land acquisition" could be legally implemented. The Committee agreed to support the GNRP proposal for this purpose. • Mr. P:lexander informed the Committee of g r ound-breaking on the first Turnke y Housing project in Atlanta on Hollywood Road, N.W. at 2 :00 p.m. on May 9 , 1968. All were invited ; that Mayo r Ivan Allen , Jr., would o ffi c ially break the ground for the 202-ttnit development. Copies o f the announcement , prepared by the . Housing Authori t y were distributed. It was announced that the report fr om the Ad Hoc Committee on Low-inc ome Housing Analysis will not be ready and that it would be discussed at a later da~e. Mr . Plexander announced that a confe r ence will be held May 29th at the Dinkler all day , consisting o f debates and discussions on legal aspects, employment, workshops, etc., on equal opportunity in housing.

C. 20410 OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY IN REPLY REFER TO: FOR DEMONSTRATIONS AND INTERGOVERNMENTAL RELATIONS APR 2 2 1968 Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor of Atlanta Atlanta, Georgia 30303 Dear Mayor Allen: I want to take this opportunity to inform you of what I believe is a most exciting experiment in building new housing for low- and moderateincome families within the Inner-City. Within the next several weeks, a prime contractor, most likely a joint venture of several firms, will be selected by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Th.is prime contractor will be expected to supervise and manage a variety of low-cost housing experiments in perhaps as many as 20 cities, most of which now have Model Cities grants. These experiments will be carried out only in cities which are wiling to cooperate in the development of innovative techniques aimed at generating a higher level of housing construction for low-income families. The prime contractor will seek out, study and evaluate new design, construction and management techniques and systems, as well as materials and components to be used in the experiments. Based on analysis and after consultation with city o:rficials and such interested private groups as l~bor unions, neighborhood organizations, builders, architects, sponsors and educators, the contractor will determine the kind of housing to be built in a specific neighborhood. The goal of the overall experiment is to obtain more housing value for each dollar spent in the development of good city housing for low-income families, and to identify the obstacles to building such housing. Where such housing is to be built within a designated model neighborhood, the experiment v.i.11 be carried out in the context of the Mod.el Cities planning and program implementation process. In any case, it seems essential that the groups mentioned above be consulted if this bold experiment is to work. Following the selection of the prime contractor, HUD will work with him to select cities which seem to have the capacity and willingness to carry out an experimental project for low-incane housing. The Department will be committing not on1y substantial research :f'unds in this effort, but also tens of millions of dollars of program funds from several program sources. �2 With the f'ull cooperation of' all who become involved in this experiment to better the nation's housing, and to make government more responsive to the most pressing housing needs, I believe that this can be a most significant step toward meeting the goal of' a decent home in a suitable living enviromnent for every American family.

Your City is on the list for study by ABT Associat es, Incorporated. A repre sentative from this firm will be contacting your office within the next few days . He will need your help and the help of your staff in order to make an analysis and evaluation of the potential for carrying out a housing experiment in your City. The time pressures will be severe as the Department is determined to evolve solutions to the long standing problems which have prevented an adequate production of housing for lowand moderate-income families. The contractors involved in this Phase I of the experiment will have not only to develop criteria for the selections of cities in which the housing will be built (the Department and the contractors will work together in final city selection), but aLSO will have to seek out and analyze potentially success:f'ul building and management systems for the actual construction of the housing as well as an identification of the constraints which have tremendously hampered the construction of such housing and plan for overcoming these constraints. As you can see, this ambitious program will call for an extremely intensive level of work between now and mid-June when the contractors are expected to report back to t he Department. �2 Each contractor will be working closely with Department personnel both in Washington and in the regional offices. If at a:ny point you feel Departmental staff can be of direct service to you during this period of analysis, I suggest that your Model Cities Director or one of your principal assistants contact directly the Model Cities team captain in the appropriate HUD regional office.

The three contractor groups, each w ith· a sizeable and experienced professional staff, were carefully selected in a competitive process that saw 19 proposals submitted to HUD in response to its requests for proposals last March 14. Mr. Rogers pointed out that because the three contractors showed an impressive understanding of the ex periment, though submitting substantially different approaches, HUD decided to proceed competitively through the initial phase of the project. "The unique quality of this new e x periment, " he said, "and the vital role it w ill play in the Department's overall housing plans suggested the diversified approach.

Mr. Rogers pointed out that the actual construction or rehabilitation to take place in phase two will be locally initiated and sponsored, and financed largely through HUD programs. The Department's Regional Administrators and the officials and residents of the selected cities are all expected to take active roles in the project.

GLADIN, Dir ec tor March 4: 1968 Mr. Robert Dobbs, Chairman Northwes t Perry Homes Citizens Neighborhood Advisory Council 2455 Abner Place, N, W. Atlanta, Georgia 30318 Dear Mr. Dobbs: As the time draws nearer for the next zoning hearing in July on the Browntown public housing, i-c is worthwhile at this point to determine the progres s which the City has made in improving community facilities in the N. W. Perry Homes area. This letter lists specific improvements designated for this year by the Parks and Construction Departments. The various i mp rovements include: Parks 1) Development of Gun Club Park This includes $200,000 from the Parks Improvement Fund for the construction of a recreation building, bathhouse, and swinnning pool at the Gun Club Park site. 2) Redevelopment of Center Hill Park $40,000 has been allocated from the Parks Depart ment's St ate Aide funds for the general redevelopment of Center Hill Park. The improvements will include: site preparation and drainage, driveway and parking spacesy paved court area, a children's area, and the relighting of the existing ball field. Sewers 3) Expansion of Hollywood Road .Lift St ation This expansion will allow fo r increased population development along Proctor Creek. �Mr. Robert Dobbs 4) Page 2 March 4, 1968 ~ellwood Sanitary Re lief Sewer This project includes the construction of a sanitary outfall sewer from Ashby to Proctor Creek to relieve the existing overload of ,the Bellwood Sanitary sewer. Regarding the school situa tion, as of this date the Board of Educa tion has made no plans for a spring bond issue. From what I can gather they -are expecting some bond money to be generated by the stat e legislature in November. Of course, the e:>tpansion of Archer High School is a first priority item as soon as the bond money is acquired by the School Department. As you probably know, I am working with the N. W. Perry Homes Neighborhood Center on improvements in the scheduling and routing of buses. If there are any other matters which you feel deserve our attention, please let me know.• Sincerely yours, Peter Labrie PL/cm Enclosures �NORTHWEST PERRY HOMES SERVICE CENTER 1927-29 Hollywood Road, N.W.

This expansion will allow for incre ased population development along Proctor Creek. �-2BELLWOOD SANITARY RELIEF SEWER This project includes the construction of a Sanitary Sewer from Ashby to Proctor Creek to relieve the existing overload of the Bellwood Sanitary Sewer. SCHOOLS I Regarding the school situation, as of this date, the Board of Education has made no plans for a spring board issue. Mrs. Hill of Lincoln Homes, stated that the Atlanta Constitution carried an article which reported that the Walter George High School was a first priority item, whenever bond money is acquired by the Board of Education. • After a short discussion regarding the educational situatinn in the area, Mr. Williams, Extension Manager, stated tha t we should go on record, stating our position in this matter. A letter would be sent to Doctor Letson, Superintendent of schools and Mrs. Mitchell, a member of the Board of Education. Copies of this letter will be s e nt to Peter Lebrie, City Planner and Doctor qorace E. Tate, a member of the Board of Education. Mr. Dobbs stated the needs for looking at the overall picture of the northwest area. He listed the sets fDr additional apartments in the area, and the importance of attending the rezoning meeting Friday, March 15, 1968. The Planning Committee at this point expressed displeasure in the improvements being made in the area by the City. \ position taken by the YMCA. Most of all, the Mrs. Pullens and Mrs. Wynn both stated that there has been no genuine efforts shown by this organization and �Alderman, Q. V. Williamson, Board member of the YMCA in assisting the citizens in trying to plan a better community. Mr. A. Smith, of Perry Heights, expressed disapproval in the rate in which recreational facilities were being developed - ·There is no way in which the City can complete the swimming pool in Gun Club Park by June"-and if they don't the citizens of this community will be upset again. Everything goes to other communities but nothing comes here~ Mr. Williams, told the group of the eff~rts that are being made to provide better bus services for the community. He mentioned the conferences that have been held regarding re-routing or extending the bus route to Hollywood Road, and made some provisions for setting up a cross community route. After the report Mr. Williams asked that a committee on transportation be set up to deal with this problem, Mrs. Lillian Sheppard of Lincoln Homes was selected chairman of this committee. After a heated discussion, regarding the summer programs and the changing name nf the Center the meeting was adjourned. Allen Williams, Recorder AW/gbb \ �I Il

That a plan of action be developed to identify and aid the owners of those homes which are too poorly situated near Proctor Creek for anything economically feasible to be done about their sewage and flooding problems. No progress has been made on this problem. However, Emory University legal aid people are preparing a suit to be filed in order to clarify responsibility. Other Facilities: 1. That a public transportation study be made to specify problems faced by residents in terms of access to library, health, and employment facilities and to recommend feasible alternatives for resolving the situation.

Atlanta , Georgia Dear Mr. Dobbs: On August 21, 1967, th e Board of Aldermen d efe rred action on a request for r ezoning the Browntow n Roa d site for a Turnkey • Housing Development. The d eferral and continued delay of this project h as been bas ed on the .obj ections of the community to deficiencies in several areas of community services. As a :i;esult of the rezoning application and concei.·n by the community l ead ership of the Northwest area, t;,.,-;.:: City planners were as signe d to your committee to help docurr..~nt problems in your area and recommend solutions. It was m ·y understanding that th e comnlUnity was not objecting to th e construction of the housing per sc , bi.::.t to the lack of ad e qua te s e rvic e s and f a cilities and the overcro\v ding of existing facilities. I The City and the community, throug h your con1mitte e , h ave exercised very encouraging coope ration and · coordination in identifying proble1ns, examining alternatives for th e ir solution, and, in many cases, insti gating a ctions which ha ve r es ulted in immediate solutions. �-Mr. Dobbs Page Two May 14, 1968 The Browntown Arca Report prepared by the Ciiy planners assigned to your co1nmittee was probably the first of its kind prepared in this city and most others. It ~ot only identified the problem areas but recommend e d specific actions to correct or resolve the ,problems. A survey of the status of implementation of the reco1nmendations contained in the Browntown Area Report has recently been made -and it was found that many of the recommended improvements have already been acco1nplished, others h ave be e n initiate d and are now being carried out, while plans are in existe nce for making additional improvements as soon as circumstances and funds permit. A copy of this status report is attached. The Browntown Road site location has b een approved by both HUD and the Housing Authority. It is d es igne d to house 4·50 low and mode rate income_ f amilie s for which d e c ent, safe and sanitary housing i s desperately needed. We cannot indefinitely deny these families a suitable place to live. I think you will agree with m e _tha t considerable progress has b een made . The credit for these improve1nents is due in a l arge m eas ure to the ,he lpful as sista nc e anu cuope r a tion of the r es ponsibl e citi zens of the area, whom you represent.
