This additional $150, 000 in Federal grant funds would bring our base Model Neighborhood Program grant up from $152, 000 to $302,000. The formidable obstacles we have faced to date and those that remain will be substantially reduced by favorable action on this matter on the part of HUD. We respectfully request that this appeal be given your immediate and sincere consideration in order that sufficient funds might be made available for us to do a competent job and to improve the possibilities of achieving the goals of Model Neighborhood planning in Atlanta.
