November 15 marked the completion of the second year since the Mayor established the Housing Resources Committee on November 15, 1966, in his Conference on Housing. Copies of invitation~l notice, list of those invited, with attendance indicated, and other related documents are attached to the file copy of these minutes only. Chairman Alexander opened the meeting at 10:30 a.m. and called on Alderman .Cotsakis for a statement which he had asked to make. Mr. Cotsakis commented on revision of the Building Codes for the City of Atlanta, particulnrly to allow experimental housing to be built in the Model Cities area. He said that if any one had any chnges of the Building Codes which they desired be made, that they should bring proposals for specific changes to the attention of the Building Committee. Mr. Alexander then called on M~lcolm Jones to eemment ~n the accomplishments of the Housing Resources Committee. Mr . Jones said that November 15, 1968, marked the completion ef the first two years' activity of tbe Housing Resources Committee in its effort to promote and accelerate the Low•income Housing Progrem in Atlanta, for which the goal was 16 1 800 low and medium in~ome housing units during a five year period (1967-71), announced by the Mayor in his Housing Conference establishing the HRC on November 15, 1966 . He then stated that tho fiYe. yoar goal is now in the pipeline and that the current status of the low and medium income housing pPogram shows: Completed Under Construction In Pl~nning Xn Sight 3 1 217 units 6 ,278 units 7.337 units lt',832 units Total This slightly exceeds (by 32 units) the 5 year goal of 16,800 units and is only 305 units sho~ in the first two categories, of the aoticipated need fer g,800 units during the first two years of the program~ �PQge 2 He also stated that the Housing Resources Committee has accomplished: 1. Promotion of low and medium income housing and coordination of efforts in this field. 2. Establishment of the Greater Atlanta Housing Development Corporation to assist local nonprofit housing corporations. 3. Acceptance by the Federa l Government of use of prefabricated relocate~ble units as temporary reloca tion housing. 4.

Asked the Mayor to designate either an existing committee or a ppoint a new commi tt ee of the Board o f Ald ermen to assume a responsibility in the field o f low-income housing. 2. Revis i on o f the Bu"lding Codes for the City of Atlanta, p articularly t o allow experimental housing to be bu ilt i n the Model Cities area. 3.

Section 237: Provides, on an experimental basis, FHA mortgage insurance to finance home ownership for low income families who wou ld not qualify under normal credit standards. Section 23 6 : The tenant under t his program will pay 25% of his famil:; s income and HUD will pay the difference between the amount collected and the amount of the rent. Limited to families whose incomes are not in excess of 135% of initial admission levels of public housing. Section 2 35: This sec tion places heavy emphasis on home ownership and provides that if the purchaser of a new home or a living unit in a condomimium will pay at least 20% of the family's income and HUD will pay the balance of the monthly mortgage payments. Mr. Gates closed his discussion by stating that "The impact of this bill on housing should be tremendous. The tools are avai lable as never before." Mr. Alexander then discussed Future Direction of the Committee . He said that the Committee requests that the Mayor and Board of Aldermen give consideration t o these proposals and advise us a ccord ingly in a revised statement of mission f or the Committee; 1. All b od ies concerned with housing review the present and continuing need for low income housing. 2. Eliminate existing slums and provide housing as needed in the area for t hose who wish to remain there • .3 . Place housing near jobs and public facilities in the City of Atla nta and throughout the metropolitan a r ea . 4.

Legislati o n ' pendin~ that will allow the ci ty to lease schoo ls to b e built by devel o p ers simultaneously with housing pr o j ec t s, except in u rban renewal areas . 3.

Obtaining of ad ditiona l sites in areas where low-income hou sing is needed . Mr. Alexander made a closing statemen t thanking the staff, members of the committee , Federa l Agencies, Atlan ta Ho using Autho rity, P lanning Department , Buildi ng Department , Public Works Department , memb0rs o f the Board o f Aldermen, Mayor Allen and the me mbers of the Press, Radi o and TV Organi z~tions for their cooperation and assistance . Mr . Al exander then called o n Mr. Charles F. Palme r, member of the Public :-lousing Panel of the Committee, to discus s a Resolu tio n the Panel had prepared. Mr. Palmer stated that the only l ogica l conclusion reached is that (1) subsidized housing must be fairly distriduted throughout the city and, ( 2 ) that the only polit ic ally feasible way to do this is by a "pac k age deal " simu l taneously presented to Council by the Mayor and Atlanta Housing Authority with �Page 6 overwhelming community support. He stated that the opion of the sub-committee is that it is not too late to resubmit those rejected zoning applications through the "package plan" on a simultaneous basis to meet the city's needs for subsidized housing and that the Mayor, the Board of Aldermen and the Atlanta Housing Authority should proceed to do so forthwith. · Mr. Palmer then stated that if the same energy, zeal and leadership of our "power structure 11 and city officials that was mobilized to build our dazzling stadium, luxury apartments and magnificent hotels and office buildings in our urban redevelopment areas had been applied to providing subsidized housing for those who were bulldozed out of slums to ma ke room for these m~jestic structures, the goal of public housing which our Mayor proclaimed so long ago would now be nearly reached. Then, as spokesman for the Chairman of the Sub-Committee on Public Housing and on the sub-committee's behalf, moved that our full Committee does now reaffirm its position on "package rezon i ng", and calls upon its fellow organizations of the City and those responsible f~r its implementation to cooperate to put it into effect. The Resolution was duel seconded and the Chairman called f or discussion. Mr. Al exa nder then suggested that sinc e this was included in the requests made on hugusut 2, 1 968, to the Zoning Committee and the Planning and Development Committee of the Board of Aldermen and ha d been re f erred to the Planning Department, the Committee should first address the Planning Department as to current status of t he proposal. Mr. Palme r de cl i ne d the suggestion and as ked f or a f orma l vot e on the mot ion to a dopt the Resolution. I t was adopted una nimoualy. Mr . Alexander t hen showed the Commi ttee s lides tha t wer e t aken of the slums as they exist t od ay in certa in areas o f t he City , particularly Lightening , and as a contrast the new low-income replacement housing devel opment s such as : V!hea t St reet Gardens, College Plaza, Allen Te mple , Mc Daniel Street apar t ments for the Elderly , Hollywood Road Pro jGct , Bankhead Highwa y, Friedship Gardens , Thom~sville U.R . Projec t and the London Towne Houses. Mr. William Howland then comment0d on the f ive houses in Linwood Park which have been rehabilitPtod by CACUR under the 221 (h) program. The Chairmon then cnlled on Mr. Dan Sweat, Director of Governmental Li~ison, for comments. �Page 7 Mr. Sweat stated tha t the statis t ics released by Col. J ones and the Committee were impress i v e a nd that the influence of the Committee's success was not confined to Atlanta's hous i ng program alone but has also been felt at the na tiona l l evel and that housing experts from over the country have commented on the Atlanta approach and on the exce l lent program of the Housing Resources Committee. He stated that h i o f c olinc is that the story behind the statistics is where the real meaning of this Committee and the Housing Program is to be found. Be said that the work of the Committee has made 211 the city aware o f the desperate need for decent housing for the less fortunate, l ess affluent citizens of Atlanta; that it has helped bridge the gap of credit~bility bot¼cen the City - the institution - the power structure and a very large and importa nt segraent of our comr:mni t y, and most important , this· program started the City out on a new directi on so long needed. He stated that the Aldermen understood this need when they refused to p ass Urban Renewal Survey and Plannixg applications until the housing relocation needs were met. The Mayo r realized the need when he cal led the Hous i ng Conference and established this commit tee and it was obvious that the private business leadership recogn i zed i t when , the members of the Rousing Resources Committee, responded as has been done. V ., Mr . Sweat then po inted out that the resultant changes are re fle cted in a report given by Howard Openshaw, Director of Redevelopment of the Hous ing huthority, at the last CACUR meeting. Mr . Openshaw pointed out that o f the 10 1 033 units begun i n urban renewal pro jec ts i n 1968, 884 units have been completed which is 21 times t he nu~bcr of housing completed the previous year in urban renewal 2reas. During the sane period, o nly 484 units were demolished in urban renewal areas . So , for the first .time in the histo~y of Atlanta 's urban renewa l program , mo re bousing units were completed in urba n renewal areas than were .demolished. Mr . Sweat concluded by saying , "We have finally turned the corner in our urban redevelopment program and are headed in a new direction so long s ought. " Mr. Archer D. Smith , X](X , Chairman of th0 Legal Panel , made a warning statement that we·are deluding ourselves if we take the figur~s presented and quit working ; that we have got to be realistic and get behind the package zoning plan . Upon inquiry from the Chairman, Mr. Jones confirmed that sites for all of the 7,337 units shown as In Planning, have not yet been rezom~d. �Page 8 In reference t o the figures pert~ining to Public Housing, contained in the Summary of Status Report (Encl. 2, Second Annual Report), attention is called to the fact that although the 5,476 units shown as Completed, Under Construction and In Planning categories, fall short by 4,100 units of the 5 year · goal, it is ho~ever within 110 units of the 2 year goal of 5,586 Public Housing units announced in the Mayor's Housing Conference, November 15, 1966.

Editorial, WSB- TV, January 3, 196 9 2, �TO: The Housing Resources Committee of Atlanta FROM: Sub-Committee on Public Housing During the last year the Sub-Committee on Public Housing held numberless meetings with many community leaders and visited a great many acceptable sites for projects. After days and nights of discussions and tireless blending of opinions, plans for action were unaminously agreed. rhe only logical conclusion was reached that (1) subsidized housing must be fairly distributed throughout the city and, (2) that the only politically feasible way to do this was by a "package deal" simultaneously presented to Council by the Mayor and Atlanta Housing Authority with overwhelming community support. Our full Committee, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the Ma yor ' s Citizens Advisory Committee, church organizations and many others approved and endorsed such procedure. But when submitted to the Housing Authority the Authority stated it hadn't studied the plan, failed to approve or disapprov~but instea d proceeded with the single shot approach which had failed before. The r esult wa s continuing turn downs of rezoning by the Aldermanic zoning powers . .

Now, let us do wonders for the poor! Therefore, as Chairman of the Sub-Committee on Public Housing and on its behalf, I move that our full Committee does now reaffirm its position on "package rezoning", and calls upon its fellow organizations of the city and those responsible for its implementation to cooperate to put it into effect.

H such : ohanges aQ·e shown, Cotsakis said, "I assure you you'll get , 100 pe,r cent cooperation." �"Covers Dixie Like the Dew" Since 1883 Jack Tarver, President ·· EDITORIALS 2-A · low-Cost Housing Gap THE HOUSING Resources Committee heard Thursday that Mayor Ivan Allen's fiveyear, lo,v-cost housing goal of 16,800 replace. ment units by 1971 was . sure of being met. This is encouraging. · But the goal, unfortunately, falls far be-- low the mammoth commitment needed if city leaders are determined to wipe out the terrible slum conditions that breed violence and · volatile r esentment. Noting this, the HRC voted unanimously at its second annual meeting to endorse and push for appr oval of the zoning "package plan" designed to pave the way for low-cost . housing throughout all sections of the city . simultaneously. Is this too much to expect? The answer appar ently has been yesjudging by the silent reception the plan h_as r eceived from the alderm anic Pl anning and · Development Committee and the Zoning Committee since it was r eceived for study last August. Both comm Htces were to seek inform ation from the Planni ng Depar tment. Now, more than four months later , Pl an ning Department Director Colli er Gl adin has r epor ted no substantial progress has been mad e to implement the package plan. HRC Cha irman Cecil Alexander put the · need for the package plan in proper perspec- · . tive las t August. " It's like this, " he told the a ldermen, '.'eithe r we house the poor or we have within ou r midst, if not in this · generation, then cer tainly in the nex t, an alien ated · people r eady to gras p by fo rce what -we would . not pro·vide when there was ye t time. " The true indication of the meager success In providi ng adequate low-cost housing units so far in Atlanta comes from a statement r ele·a sed by the Atlanta Housing Authority Wednesday. F or the first time in Atlanta urban renewal histor=y, said the AHA, housing construction in 1968 exceeded the number of uni ts de molished. In other words , AtlcJ nta has virtually been staniling still, if not going backwards , in at-· tacking its low-cost problem in r ecent years. Therefore, it is not surprising to count the number of r esponsible community orga nizations supporting the package plan. They include the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, the Community Council of the Atla nta Area Inc., Central Atlanta Progress Inc. , the Wori1en's C_hambe~ of Commerce, the League of Jack Spalding, Editor o DECEMBER 14, 1968 Women Voters, the Christian Council of--Metropolitan Atlanta, Inc., and the Metropolitan Atlanta Conference on Housing. It is time that the conscience of the community be heard . �' THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION Monday, December 16, 1968 ,r .A Fig1it at All Levels Two groups in the vital area of housing heard good news last week in Atlanta, btit members immediately got off their laurels to continue their work. ban Renewal, meantime, was hearing that for the first time in urban renewal history here housing construction exceeded the demolitfon rate. · The mayor's Housing Resources Committee was told that Mayor Ivan Allen Jr.'s five-year goal of 16,800 units of low-cost housing surely would be met. Lest this set off jubilation over the place, Atlanta Housing Authority official Howard Openshaw had a somber message, part of which was as follows: More than 3,000 have been completed, another 6,000 are under construction, and more than 7,000 are in the planning process. All wasn't optimism, however. "We're deluding ourselves," said attorney Archer D. Smith III, "if we take these figures and quit working. . . . We've got to be realistic and get behind the package zoning plan. The committee voted unanimously to seek again such a plan, which would zone for low-cost housing simultaneously throughout all sections of the city. Such an approach has been studied by the City Planning department since last August. "In our affluent society, it is unthinkable that millions of Americans remain ill-housed; that affluent whites continue to flee to the suburbs, leaving our urban core to the poor and blacks; that spreading slums and blight are leading us not to decay but destruction, while in many cities, officials remain insensitive lo the plight of the people.. The Citizens Advis0ry Committee for Ur- all Starkly pu t, yes, but a I summing of a national concern. It is well that Atlanta sees the problem and is fighting it through committee, agency, and individual leadership. This is one of America's most important battles, and it must be engaged at all levels of government. �AN OFFICIAL OPINION O F ·l· J: ( 4~ ..,.11?.W t l!__uW jj;j)_ . RADIO/ ATLANTA ~ ~7 1601 WEST PEACHTREE ST,, N.E. \•JSB VI El•IPOI NT "THE NEED FOR MORE SUBSIDIZED HOUSING by Elmo Ellis, General Manager Broadcast Sunday, December 22, 1968 11 Novelist Jan Struther once 1·1rote: A city is greater than its bricks and mortar; it is greater than tower or palace, church or hall; a city's as great as the little people that live there. 11 We agree wit~ the sentiment expressed in these lines, but if we expect the little people to prove their greatness, aren't vie duty bound to ask ourselves, what kind of living quarters are we providing for them? Many families in Atlanta are living in decrepit apartments and rat-infested slum housing. Their so-called homes are unfit for raising children . They lend themselves more often to serving as breeding places for discontent, disease and crime . While we have replaced some of these hovels and shacks, and expect to meet the Mayor's quota of 16,800 replacement units by 1971, we aren't providing nearly enough low and middle-income housing. And we aren't subsidizing the building of such units in enough different places in the city. Clarence Col eman of the Housing Resources Committee of Atlanta hea ded a t eam that studied this matter thoroughly. Its members concluded that (l) subsidized housing must be fairly distributed through the city; and (2) the only politically feasible way to do this is by a 11 package deal , 11 1,11hich designates some ten areas located in various sections, north, south, east and west, all of which are suitable for housing development. The plan isn't new, but its never been given a vote of approval by the Boa rd of Alder~n. If they would say yes, housing development could move ahead in a way to make 1969 a oanher year for Atlanta. Our city has proved its ability to redesign our skyline vlith magnificent ne\'.J office buildings, hotel s, lu xury apartme nts and shooping complexes , This same kin d of vi s ion . and energetic l eaders hip is so rely nee ded in the building of adeq uat e sub sidi ze d housing. · Besides eradicating substandard dwe llings and bringing new sunlight into thousands of lives, such an enlightened effort on a mas s ive, city-~·1i de scale could oerhaps do more than any other thing to promote social and .economic stabili ty and stimulate peaceful progress throughout our community . A great many bus in es s, profess ional and chu rch leader s are sol idl y behind this program. A number of our top civic organizations are enthus iastically s upportin~ it. What we need now i s a res ounding expression of approval from t he vast maj or ity of our loca l citizens . If we make i t cl ear and convin cin g that we , t he people of Atl anta , are behind t hi s package proposal --and we earnes t ly want to see subs idi ze housing di s tri buted t hro ughout the city--then vte will improve vastly the chances that our Housing Authority and our Aldermen will h2ar and give thi s program the green light.

AN EDITORIAL OPINION •.• •• •••
January 2, 1969
VIEWPOINT
An official expression of the editorial opinion of
the management of WSB Television.
"Who is my neighbor?"
If you live in Atlanta, here's a modern day answer to
that 2,000 year old question.
These are your neighbors.
Some live in these homes because they are lazy; some
because they don't know any better; but most because there is
simply no other place to live in this city of a million.
For too long, most of us have passed by our slum
neighbors on the other side of the road.
But the good Samaritans are among us today, too.
In 1966, Mayor Allen set a goal - almost 17,000 new
housing units in the next five years. It was a modest goal
actually aimed only at keeping us about even in the fight
against rotte n housing.
Since then, Atlanta architect Cecil Alexander has
sacrificed much of his own profit-making time as a non-paid
chairman of the Mayor's Housing Resources Committee. And
Malcolm Jones, a retired Army Colonel, has been the full-time
working head of the big housing pus h. At the · e nd of the first
two years, the program is amazingly "on schedule".
Except in one important area:
The city is 4,000 units behind in the goal
rJr
public
housing.
Behind in the very area where the need is greatest,
where this family must live --in new units that can be rented
or purchase d at $30 to $50 per month.
Of all the units built or started since 19 66, private
enterprise has not b~en able to build anything to re nt o r sell
for l ess than $60 a month. That i s not to s a y tha t priv a t e
builders have not tried. They have done a fine job. But the
high co st of l and and labor and zoning problems have effectively
prevented the building of tr~ly low co st housing.
That me ans that our gove rnme nt , which is anothe r way
of say ing -you a nd I , i s appare ntly the only Samaritan who can
change the life of a boy like this.

January 3, 1969 VIEWPOINT - An official e x pression of the editorial opinion of the management of WSB Television. American Builder Magazines' Centennial issue asked a hard question: "Who really give a damn about housing?" And answers: · "Not the cities - they're headed for a decade of failure. "Not the suburbs - they couldn't care less." "Not the rural areas - everyone's leaving them." "Not the power structure - all they do is talk, talk, talk." Then the magazine recognizes Atlanta as one of the few oasis in a desert of apathy. Because Mayor Allen, Dan Sweat, Cecil Alexander and Malcolm Jones have pushed us far ahead of other cities. But still not far enough. Even the Mayor's crash program falls short of help in the area of the greatest need: units that will rent or sell for $30 to $50 a month. So what can be done? Here is what WSB Television considers some key recommendations: The Federal Housing Act some loans for home ownerships at there's not enough money for this other housing programs. Congress the money. of 1968 allows the FHA to make one per cent interest! But project - or for many of the must see the crisis - and vote Building ·codes must be updated to allow for new, more economical assembly-line building techniques and materials. Building trade unions must stop discriminating and start.helping to train mo~e · workmen. _ Private enterprise must b~ able to build truly low cost housing at a profit. Senator Robert Kennedys suggestions for t ax benefits offer the best hope for that.

And some of this public housing can be built in present slum pockets even in Northside Atlanta. One of the most difficult problems in Atlanta is to find land at a reasonable price zoned for apartments. WSB Television suggests the expressways. That's right the expressways! Not on the pavement during rush hour traffic. But in the air space over the freeways! Not only is it possible to build housing over the expressways but it has been done in other cities. The land is already.owned by the government. And the government encourages use of the valuable air space for such necessary urban projects as housing. Incidentally, for rapid transit, too. Without the expressways, only 200 to 400 acres inside Atlanta are zoned for apartments. With the air space over the freeways there would be a minimum of 2,700 acres of expressway rightof-way within the city of Atlanta. Already there's plenty of parking available e very rush hour.

IMPLICATIONS OF THE 1968 HOUSING ACT
The National Housing Act passed b y the Congress on August
1, 1968 , renffirms the national goal in the 1949 Housing Act, o f
"a decent home and a s uitable living environment for every
American family".
Px'ivate i ndustry has been cha l lenged to provide six
mil l ion addi ti ona l housing units during the next ten years for
low and modera te i ncome f ami lies. The 196 8 legislation provides

Administrati on t o assume higher mortgage insurance ris ks in
connection with b o th location and credit cha r acteristics that
were unacce p ta bl e under the mut u al mortgage sec ti ons of the
Act. This should widen b ot h the housing and the mortgage sect i o ns .

Secti on 237 : Provides, on an experimental basis, FHA

of their pas t credit records , but who can me e t mortgage
payments with appr o priate budget and financi al counseling .

UNFI N.ISHED BUS I NESS
There are many u nfinished phases of the initial program
which need t he continui ng existance of c ci t izens ' group t o
help with t he completion of the program .
Some of them are :
1.
Comp let · on of projects now in planning.
2.
Le g·s latio n pendi ng th2t will allow the city
to lea s e sc hoo l G to be built by developers
simulta neous_y wi th housing projects, except
in urban renewal areas .
3.
Xnves t i gation of pr obleras relatin8 to c o de
restrictions on innovative bu ilding .
4.
Activation o f Board for the Greater Atlanta
Hous ing De v el opme nt Cor p oration .
5.
Ob taining of additional sites in areas where
low income housing i s needed.
It s hould be b orne in ni nd 1 that whi le this program is
apparen•tly in g ood shape, that many of the p ro jects still ne ed
s hepherding . There are many force s trying to bl oc k housing in
~tlanta and any faltering in continuing efforts might well
decimate thG final a ccoaplishment of the erection of the 16,300

�Report of Legal Panel
December 9 1 1968
In brief, the achievements and activities of the Legal Panel
in the year to date have been as follows:
(1) Advocacy, drafting, and passage by the Atlanta
School Board of a local constitutional amendment to allow the
City of Atlanta , through its local School Board, to lease school
buildings for a term longer than that of the City Councila The
research on this project was done by Freeman Hutton and the Chairman
of this Committee, and was presented by the Chairman to the School
Board on June 28, 19680 The School Board passed the concept of
leasing school buildings from private developers for a long-term in
principal, and directed Mro A. C. Latimore, the school board attorney,
in conjunction with the Legal Panel to draft the specific local
constitutional amendmento
The advantage of this local constitutional amendment
would be that school facilities could be provided in a low-cost
housing project in the form of rental payments over a term of years,
thus alleviating the need of the School Board to construct a school
f acility at high initial costs, and thus providing the project with
necessary community facilitieso The most oft-used excuse in opposition
to zoning property for low-cost housing is that no school facilities
would be available; an objection which would become moot after passage
of the constitutional amendment, in that the School Board would lease
with litt l e dimi nution in its bonds' credit .
Upon compl et i on of the draft i ng, the amendment will
t hen be s ubmitted to the School Board sometime in early 1969, for
formal appr oval so t ha t it can be readied for the 1970 Legislatur e
a nd subs equent referendumo As a practica l ma tter, the leasing
arrangements in Urban areas wil l probabl y be r equ i r e d to conta in an
option to purchase vested in the School Board , to c i rcumvent HUD
requirements, in that City credi t agains t Federal Funds could only
be allowed in structures which were a public faci l i t y ; a ccording t o

NOTES
A. 13,260 units proposed did not materialize, of which 12,339 were shown in the previous report of Aug. 15, 1968 and 928 additiona:.
unit s are listed in this report, as Losto (The majority, but not all, of these losses was due to disapprovals of sites and
proposed rezoningo)
B. Proposed locations for low-:inc,ome housing are coordinated through the Plan. Depto, for adequacy of Community Facilities, existing or
proposed o Proposals are also reviewed periodically wit h the School Depto for adequacy of school facilities.
C. The Travelers Insurance Company has financed 70 or more new single family low-cost houses in the Thomasville Urban Renewal projfict
area under the FHA 221 d(2) insured mortgage programo Equitable has made $1,000,000 available to Atlanta Mortgage Brok erage Co.
for financing low-cost homes at favorable rateso
Interest is increasing in development of home-ownership h ousing.
D. In vie w 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 subst a ntial poJ·tion
o f the requir ement on small scattered sites, both Conventionally and Federal assisted.
E. No proposal had yet been made for construction of units (even efficiency or 1 bedroom) to rent or sell f or as low as $50 per month,
alth ough the London Towne Houses, a 221 d (3) co-op development now under construction, is approaching this, with its one bedro1m
unit sel ling at $6 9 per mont h o The City's greatest need j s hthe $30-$50 per month rental-purchase range; which appears to have
little c hance of a ccomplis hment 9 without governmental subsidy.
F . Prefab distribut ors and conventional builders have interesting potential houses to offer but, because of :fear o f l ocal Codes
diffi c ultie~ ar e currently pr oducing very few single-family h ouses in Atlanta to sel l in the $10,000-$15,0PO range for whi ch t here
is a s trong demand and 6arketo Perhaps the greatest difficulty is availability of suitably priced land within the Ci ty Limit s.
Eco n omi cs f or thi s price-range sales housing requires land whi ch will not cost the developer more than $1,500 per unit, (a 5,00<>

pointed out that of th 10,033 units begun in urban renewal projects
in 1968, 884 have been completed which is 21 times the number of
housing units in urban renewal a:reas completed the previous year .
During the same pe:iriod, only 484 units we:re demoli shed in urban
renewal areas. So, for the first time in the history of Atlanta' s
urban renewal program. more housing units were completed in urban

ACCOMPLISHMENTS
November 15, 1968, marked the comp l etion of the first two
years• activity of the Housing Resources Committee in its efforts
to pr()!llote and 5Cceler~te the Low•income Housing ~rogr~m in
Atlanta,
The 5 year goal of 15,800 l ow and medium income housing units
announced by the Mayor in his Housing Conference establishing the
HRC on November 15, 1966 , is now in the pipe line, This figure
was based on anticipated replacement needs caused by Governmental
action during 1907•71 , and did not take into consideration normal
growth, f ormation of new families and in-migration.
'Th e November 15 revision of the re port on status o f the low
~nd medium income housing progr~m shows:
Comi9le ted
Under Co ns truction
In ?l~nning
In Sight
3 ,217 u nits
6 ,278 units
7 1 337 units
16 ,832 units
Total
This slightly exceeds (by 32 units) the 5 yeaT goal of 1 6 ,800
units and is only 3~5 units short, in the first two c2tegories, of
the anticipated need for 9 1 800 units during the first two years
of the program.
�2
It is anticipated that most of t he 7,337 units ln Pl anning
will materializeo However, in the event that some may fall by
the way side, there are an additional 6 ,215 units Be i ng Considered r
which will more than compensate for any units now in the In
Pla nning category wh ich may be l ost to the program.
The Summary (Encl 2) shows that the "coals for all phases o f
the 5 year program are being mets with the e x ception of Pub lic
Ho us ing which is currently 4 , 100 units behindo

IMPLICATIONS OF THE 1968 HOUSING ACT

"a decent hor.ie and a suitabl e living environment for every
American family".

million additional housing units during the next ten years for
low and moderate income fami l ies. The 196 8 legislation provides

UNFIN.1SHED BUSINESS
There are many unfinished phases of the initial program
which need the continu i ng existance of n citizens• group to
help with the completion of the program. Some of them are:
1.
Completion of projects now in planning.
2.
Legislation pendi ng t ha t will allow the city
to l ease schools to be built by developers
simultaneously with housing projects, except
in urban renew~l areas.
3.
Investigation of problems relatin8 to code
restrictions on innovative building.
4.
~ctivation of Board for the Greater htlanta
Housing Development Corporation.
5.
Obtaining of additional sites in areas where
l ow income housing is needed.
It should be borne in mind, that while this program is
~pparently in good sha pe , that many of the projects still need
shepherding. There are many forces trying to bloc k housing in
Atlanta and any faltering in continuing efforts might well
decimate the final a ccomplishment of the erection of the 16,800
units.
I wish to close by thanking Col. Jones, William Gates of
our staff, the raembers of our cor:imi ttee who worked eilligently
during t he past two yesrs ~ nd such members as Archer Smith , Lee
Burge , Cl 3re nc e Coleman, Cha r les Palmer , Robe rt Winn snd D~le
Cla r 1 immediately come to mind ar:1ong many otbe•e. This has
truly been a work ing Commit tee . We also thank the Atlanta
Housing Authority , the Pl anning Department , the Building
Department, Public Works Department , members of the Board of
Ald0rr:1en , Ma yor Al len and the members of t he Press , Radio and
TV Organizat ions . Not to be forgott e n are the developers and
nonprofit groups who have in the last analysis made the program
possible.

�Report of Legal Panel
Decemb er 9 ~ 1968
. I
I
In brief$ the ach i evements and act i vities of the Legal Panel
in tbe year-to date have been as follows~
(1) Advocacy, drafting and passage by the Atlanta School
Board of a local constitutional amendment to allow the City of Atlanta,
through its local School Board, to lea se school buildings for a term
longer than that of the Ci t y Councilo The research on this project
was done by Freeman Hutton and the Chairman of this Committee, and
was presented by the Chairman to the School Board on June 28, 19680
The 3chool Board passed the concept of leasing school buildings from
private developer s for a long-term in principal, and directed
Mr~ Ao C. Latimer" the schocl board attorney~ in conjunction with
the Legal Panel
draft the specific local constitutional -amendmento
to
The a dvantage of this local constitutional amendment
would be that school facilities could be provided in a low-cost housing
project in the form of xental payments over a term of years, thus
alleviating the need of the School Board to construct a school facility
at high initial costs, and thus providing the project with necessary
community fa c i lit ies o The most oft-used ex cuse in opposition to
zoning proper ty f or low- cost housing is that no school f acilities
would be available; a n obj e ction which would b e come moot after
passage of the constitutional amendment, in that the School Board

GREATER ATLANTA HOUSING DEVELOPMENT
CORPORATION
The Greater Atlanta Housing Development Corporation is a non-profit, tax-exempt
organization, whose primary objective is to assist non-profit sponsors and private
developers, as well, in carrying out programs to serve the housing needs of Atlanta's
low-income and moderate-income families.
·
The corporation was established under the auspices of the Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce in June, 1968, with financial support from the Chamber ($10,000) for the
initial funding of the corporation's operations. In close cooperation with the Chamber
were Central Atlanta Progress, Inc., key persons of the Mayor' s Housing Resources
Committee, and others.
It was the intent of the Chamber's Board of Directors, in establishing the corporation,
to seek a broad base of leaders1?,ip and financial involvement from throughout the Atlanta
business community. Toward this end, a number of the city's leading business citizens
have been invited to participate in the funding of the corporation, and there has been gratifying response.
The Greater Atlanta Housing Development Corporation will aid sponsors of housing
programs in several ways: Interpretation and explanation of programs available under
current housing legislation; advisory help and coordination of the development functions,
such as assistance in selecting an architect, attorney, engineer, contractor, developer
and financial institution for construction loans -- seeking, in each case, those experienced
in the type project selected; and helping to arrange and negotiate "seed money" loans for
expenses for such services above set out which are incurred before mortgage proceeds
become available.
These services are being provided through the corporation's Executive Director, who
is highly knowledgeable in housing finance, project development and management, judgment
of the feasibility of projects, technical aspects of Federal Housing Administration procedures,
and communication with the business community and p.eighborhood groups.
Arrangement and negotiation of short-term "seed money" loans will result in a
reduction of the sponsor's risk and thereby stimulate the construction of sales and rental
housing for lower income families and promote rehabilitation of substandard housing.
(One prime source of seed money, or 1 ifront end" loans, is to be Atlanta Civic Enterprises,
Inc., an organization of ten larger businesses which have created a pool of resources to
help solve the local need for housing. Atlanta Civic Enterprises, Inc., is in agreement
with the method of approach being undertaken by' the corporation.)
The loan fund administered by Atlanta Civic Enterprises fills this need for seed money,
which can be loaned at less than the market rate of interest -- with some type of security -and will be generally supplemented to some extent by the non- profit sponsor. It will be a
revolving fund, as funds disbursed for the permanent loan are used to repay the seed money,
or front end, loans.

Cost of operations will initially be provided from the funding support of the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce and members of the Atlanta business community. However, the
corporation is anticipated to become self- sustaining from the fees or other charges for
the technical services rendered. Such charges, as a part of the project cost, would be
paid from the proceeds of permanent loans.
Already, in some FHA projects which have the 100 per cent loan provision, a
consultant fee is allowed for inclusion in the cost and payable when mor tgage money
is available. The Greater Atlanta Housing Development Corporati on ost ensibly would
qualify for such fees in many instances.
The housing legislation passed by Congress permits non-profit organizat ions, such
as churches, civic organizations, unions and others, to sponsor projects of building or
rehabilitating housing for low to moderate income fan1ilies, with loans up to 100 per cent
of the costs at interest rates, in some cases, as low as 1 per cent.
Despite 100 per cent financing, the initial costs of architect fees, attorney fees,
engineering studies, FHA fees, land options and other costs must be paid before mortgage
proceeds become available. These front end expenditures can amount to as much as 4
per cent of the total project cost but are reimbursable when mortgage money becomes
available. Lack of funds to meet these ·e xpenses often seriously delays or completely
rules out projects by non-profit sponsors.
Executive Director of the non-profit corporation is Mr. Robert Watkins, formerly
owner of Industrial Service Company and with a background in the construction business.
Offices of the corporation are located at 2742 First National Bank Building, adjacent to
the offices of Central Atlanta Progress, Inc . , which is providing secretarial help as well
as office space for the new corporation.
