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<>
sq. ft . lot is cons i dered ampl e f or this type house)o
G. Imperial Homes o f Griffin 9 Ga, manufacturers of pre-cut sectionalized frame houses, has developed a · 2 4'x36', 3 bedroom & bath hou3e
designed to sell 9 to the occupant f or $8 ,000 to go on his land; and is developing a 4 bedroom & bath to sell sim ilarly for ab ou1;
$ 9,000. Nati o nal Homes of Lafayatte 9 Ind. is erecting 200 units o f pre-built, 4 bedroom; bath and ½ units in Ch i cago and is d o ing
the site planning and landscaping .
H. The nonpr o fit Greater Atlanta Housing Development Corpo is now in business. The CACUR's nonprofit corporation to reh abili t at e
existing unit s under 2 21 ( h ) has mad e e x cel l e nt p r ogress on its first grou p of 5 hous es in Lindwood Park . Morris Brown Col lege is
