Model Neighborhood, Inc. is a legally chartered, nonprofit, self corporation formed by long-time residents of Atlanta neighborhoods included ir. the -;ity' s Model Cities Program Area. · It was formed to enable those who reside, work or own property in this area to under 1,ake self-help progr-:l..ffis of economic development housing and social services! I . It is the belief of the Board of Trustees, all of whom reside in the area, that the felt needs of the people are the most impor,tant needs and self-help, to be successful, must adoress itself to the expressed feelings of the pecple. Too often programs designed to alleviate ilJ.s of the slum-ghettos, · whole aimed toward worthwhile and needed obj~ctives, have lacked support and even met with resistance because felt needs were not effectively dealt with. Self-help must be e;eared to the "self's" perception of itself, whether collective or individual. Thus, the basic goal of the Model Neighborhood, Inr. _program is to provide a means whereby individ!1als and groui:-)s wi thir. t)1E:. · C:(>mmunity can receive assistance in achieving ~their desj1 2d objectives. It is the intent, and has be en the prac tice Lo d ~Le~ of · the corporation to assist those r equesting h0lp to realize their objectives e ven though Board members and advisors believe _such objectives to be l ess tha~ optimum sbluti ons, for it is only through acceptance of the individual's right to pur sue tiis own ends, candid . recognition of his felt needs and a nonpaternalisitic- r e nd e ring of assistance that s e l f -help c a n be meaningful. Rapport and trust are thus engendered , rather than frustration. A meaningful learning experience results, rather than hostility and suspicion Membership in Model Ne i ghborhood, Inc. is open to anyone living ,. working or owning prop e rty in the Mode l Cities Area . The corporate structure is so de sign e d as to allow unlimited member ship . The· corporation is dedic.ated to a program of demonstration _.-___achievement. - It. is b e lieve d, and has be en borne ·out to date, ... that community s upport can best be gained through proven accomplishme nt. ·, Finally, it is . recogni ze d that the economic, social and .· physical problems of the a r ea are int e rwoven and that our program mu s t de al wi th the soc i a l and phy sical ills sta nding in the ·_way of r e ali zin g e con omic improve me nt . . : thu s our committmen t to ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. . -t .. -. . . .. - - �I Secu~ed agreement from Georgia State College to staff a general business orientation course . • Obtained business management and skills training agreement from the fn.::..lowing companies: Addressograph - Multilith Corporation The Selig Company (Armstrong Cork) Big Apple (AtuIT1.ar Brot!1ers) Con tinen ta1 Wre~ki;.,.,; Company Identified ten additional E.:ntreprenuers seeking· _.. .assistance. r • Total funds handled to n~te exceed ~35Jooo.oo.
