J. R. BRUCKNER LOI Aniietes Times New1 Service ST. LOUIS, Feb. 4-Almost 2,000 tenant families of the largest public housing development here are preparing for a rent strike March 1 against the Public Housing Authority in an effort to force major improvements in living conditions. Tenant spokesmen who set the strike deadline said the alternative to over-all upgrading of the huge development is widespread rioting. Tenants r e£erred to " another Watts" and some teen-agers told a reporter, " It's corning, man , it's coming big !" Involved in the dispute are the Pruitt homes and the Igoe apartments whlch form a single housing complex about two miles from downtown St. Louis. They are operated by the housing authority for low-income tenants. Representing the tenants is the Pruitt - Igoe Neighborhood Corp., a community group organized last summer by the Urban League and the War on Poverty to upgrade the comtnunity. Housing authority officials and members of the city's board of aldermen agree that conditions at the development have deteriorated r apidly in recent years. But the housing authority is requir ed to operate entirely from rent receipts, and the officials say they do not have the money to make ne~ded repairs . tion.

The report is organized under the following headings: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Projects undet1'Jay. Projects in planning. Proposed sites. Low-rent housing proposals. Financing. Sunnnary and recommendations. Appendix. Information on existing projects and projects in planning was obtained from the Atlanta Housing Authority. Tre Housing Code Section of the Building Department, Atlanta Youth Council and the Planning Department collaborated on site l ocation. 1. PROJECTS UNDERWAY Perry Homes A 140 unit public housing addition to Perry Homes is now in the fi aa l stage of working drawings and specifications which should be going out to bid by the end of 1966. The addition contains large 3, 4 and 5 bedroom units situated across Proctor Creek from the existing project and adjacent to the Gun Club par.k site now under development. A bridge across Proctor Creek linking the existing a nd proposed projects has recently been completed by the city. Units are expected to be available by July or August, 1968. No community facilities are being made available within the addit i on but t wo rooms will be added to . the existing Community building across Proctor Creek in the existing Perry Homes project. Schools in the area arl operating at cap~city enrollment now. The proposed elementary school in the Rockdale project is expected to relieve the situation but is not yet funded. Local shopping facilities are also badly lacking in the area. Thomasville Three hundred and fifty units of Publi c Housing , 16 of which wil l be f or t he elder ly, are now in the "schematic design stage". Plans are _scheduled f or comp l et ion in February , 1967. The project will be executed in stages with the fi rs t uni t s comp leted by May or June, 1968. Si t uated in the Thomasville U.R.A . , north of McDono ugh Road and south of t he proposed right-of-way for the Lakewood Ext ension (Expressway), this pr oje c t will become a part of the Thomasville Community . Dobbs Element a ry School whe.re Thomasville children attend is op~rating at capacity e nrollment, which me a ns t hat a new elementary school will have to be bu ilt.

The high-rise for the elderly has space for social activities, arts, crafts and meeting rooms. An elementary school and park will be built adjacent to the -project. An architect has been hired for the school which is expected to be finished in two years. 2. PROJECTS IN PLANNING Rockdale Recent interest in the development of 22l(d)(3) housing in the Rockdale U.R.A. has prompted the city's Planning Department and Housing Authority to produce a new development plan for the Rockdale Project which has been predicated on the principle of cluster development to make best use of the rough topography. The amendment to the project has been completed. It is expected that the land can be offered in December 1966 and close March 1, 1967. The Rockdale Project will add 1500 units to the low income housing market, but due to F.H.A.'s unwillingness to finance more than 150 units at a time it could take at least ten years to complete the project. Existing Rockdale Elementary School expansion for 500 pupils and a proposed elementary school for 1,000, neither of which have been funded, will serve pupils both inside and outside the project. An existing Health Center in the project will continue to serve the area. Pub 1 ic Rousing Housing Assistance Administration (formerly P.H.A.) has approved a reservation for 1200 Public Housing units and 300 units under the new Low-Rent Leasing Program for Atlanta's relocation needs. Units will be divided between the four Urban Renewal projects now in various planning stages - Bedford-Pine, East Atlanta, Vine City and Cooper-Glenn. Each one of the projects is being planned with a full complement of community facilities to serve the housing, educational, recreational, and social needs of the people. Each one of the proposed Urban Renewal areas except East Atlanta is to get a Community School whi·c h will provide city recreational, social and educational services as well as space for E.O.A. neighborhood programs. 22l(d)(3) A number of 22l(d)(3) projects are in the planning stage: (a) The Atlanta Housing Authority is offering thirteen acres at Hu nt e r Street and Northside Drive in the University Center U.R.A. to p rovide 260 units. (b) The Atlanta Housing Authority i s a lso ready to offer a 7. 5 a c r ,.! s .Lte between Capitol Homes a nd I-20 Ea st which would provide 122 111' i. ts . (c) A third stage of Wheat Stree t Gardens in the Butler Street provide an additional 149 units of low rent housing . u.n A. will �Page 3 (d) Potentials for Low-Income Housing in Atlanta 1.1-21-66 A number of other sites are under private negotiation for 22l(d)(3) housing. 3. PROPOSED SITES (See Map - Low Income Housing Sites) Inf<?rmation on vacant property obtained from C.I.P. data has been plo tted and 40 sites have been located varying in size from 1.5 acres up to 112 acres, totaling 809 acres+. Locations with acreages appear in Table I. Each of these sites needs study in greater detail to obtain information on the following and other items so that intelligent decisions can be made. Topography Utilities Community Facilities Transportation Zoning Employment Market Housing Market Adjoining Land Use. Environmental Factors Desires of potential residents Housing on any site should not be considered until each one of these items has been thoroughly studied. 4. LOW-RENT HOUSING PROPOSALS Table II indicates that the six Urban Renewal Areas now in various planning stages will produce a relocation load of 7025 families now living in substandard housing. In addition to this, if all families which the CIP has found to be in structurally and environmentally substandard housing were provided standard housing, 25,000 housing units would have to be provided for low-income families. This is a monumental task, one which will require not only new concepts and techniques but also financial resources ($362,500,000.00 based on the current net cost, $14,500.00 of public housing units). The question of whether the city can afford such a program must be weighed against whether the city can afford the waste of human resources and human dignity as well as the implied dangers in the ever widening gap between the poverty ridden and the middle and upper income group . It has been proved over. and over again that most social problems come out of the slum environments - the crime rate and the records of jails and mental institutions testify to this. It is important that the emphasis of any new program be dire cted toward upgrading the individual, not just building up an inventory of housing. To have any real value, programs to improve housing conditions must be coordinated with programs to improve the educational, vocational, social and economic potential of the poor. It is obvious from the attached Table III that the city is going t o need a greatly expanded low-income housing program i n order to come up with 5,000 new units immediately. It is also obvious that new concepts and new techniques of designing and constructing low-income housing should be explored if we are ever going to be able to meet relocation and migration needs. Explore High-Rise Needs Objectively Study the use of the high-rise apartment buildings as a part of the total housing program. There are problems involved in the use of high-rise but many such as play space, elevators, corridors, lighting, private space and acoustics can be reso lved through good design and a feeling on behalf of everyone involved that the environment should be one in which people can maintain t he ir individual ity; where pride and self-respect can be built, not degraded; and where corrnnunicat i on between the resident, management and the city are in good working order. Facilities to improve the socio-economic situation of low income people must be bui lt into the �. . Page 4 Potentials for Low-Income Housing in Atlanta 11-21-66 program or else another "ghetto" is the result. The design and location of high rise should take into consideration whether single people, young married couples, the elderly or families with children are being accommodated. Community facilities would be different in each case. Transportation is another important factor. Excerpts from various publications are inserted in the Appendix to point out some of the advantages and problems which are a part of high-rise living. The open-corridor scheme for high-rise living has many advantages over the inner-corridor and is particularly suited .to our climate. The use of escalators, utilization of roof and yard space, underground parking, common facilities and management all need open-minded investigation. Develop High-Rise over Stadium Parking A proposal which deserves study is the development of high-rise apartments over the parking area east of the Atlanta Stadium. Parking decks which take advantage of the thirty-foot drop in grade between Fulton St. and Georgia Ave. could provide the additional parking needed for the stadium as well as parking for the apartments. Such a scheme would provide apartments for young working people and the elderly. The site has excellent access to transportation and the downtown and would create a good relocation resource. Use Pre-Fab to Cut Construction Time Pre-Fab techniques for housing have been used successfully in many nations. For a number of reasons - lack of interest , conservatism and preservation of the status-quo by labor, real estate developers and builders - pre-fabing has been held back in the U.S.A. However, it is being used to solve low-income housing needs- in Miami, Fiorida; Michigan City, Indiana; Rapid City, South Dakota and Chicago, Illinois. Grants are available from the Federal government to_ underwrite pre-fab demonstrations. Pre-fabs have a number of advantages: (a) Faster construction. (b) Ease of maintenance by the use of concrete and other low maintenance materials. (c) Achievement of variety by the arrangement of wall panels , window openings, balconies, etc. (d) Machine-made components with close quality control produ ce a product superior to that of conventionally built housi ng . Pre-fab construction has no cost advantage; however, savings are r eported in maintenance. The great advantage is in faster con~truction which makes up a good part of Atlanta's problem. Use Small Sites The city should expand its thinking to encompass development of low-income housing on small sites of one acre minimum. This approach might incre~se administrative work but if we are really seri ous about solving our hou sing problems, the program must be one which encompasses a wide variety of solut ions not just the typical large public housing development whose drawbacks are we ll known. (a) Loss of identity. (b) Social and economic segregation. �Page 5 Pot e ntials for Low-Income Housing in Atlanta (c) 11-21-66 Ins titutionalized appea r ance of the project (an area s et apart for a segregated group) Eve ry e f fort should be made to make the low-income housing a part of the ne ighborhood. Use Mobile Homes to Create Instant Housing The use of Mobile Homes should be given study. They provide a ch eap way of f urni shi ng limited housing which has the -great advantages of speed, sma ll site deve l opment costs and mobility. Use Rehabilitation Whenever Possible Methods should be developed to use rehabilitation of existing structures to a greater extent. Rehabilitation has the three distinct advantages of not adding to the relocation load, improving the environment of existing neighborhoods, as well as the pride and involvement of the people. Such a program requires a close working relationship between the city and the people as well as a willingness on behalf of the city to adopt new methods of dealing with such problems as: - Redevelopment of small lots Provision of open space Community facilities Community relations Financing Use Cooperative Home Building to Give Vocational Training and Resident Participation Another idea which needs exploring to add greater flexibility to our housing program is the enlisting of help from neighborhood people to help in building their homes or apartments. Such a program would be feasible if Pre-Fab techniques were used and would give the people a sense of pride and responsibility in their homes and neighborhood. The cooperative could be set up so that the rent paid would actually go t oward the purchase of the home or apartment if the people so desired. In di l apidated areas of owner occupied property, land might be pooled for cooperative building. Enlist Support of Non-Profit Organizations and Foundations Non-profit organizations should be sought out and a meeting called to acquaint t hem wi th the housing needs of the city and advise them of the various programs avai l ab le in the low-income housing field. 5. FINANCING OF LOO- INCOME HOUSING Financ i ng for low-income housing i s available by a number of methods:

Federal 22l(d)(3) Public Housing Turnkey Acquisition and Rehabilitation Rent Suppleme n t Leasing

These programs are covered in Se c tions 106 , 107, 116 , 117 and 120 o f Fede ral Aids to Local Governme nts . �Page 6 Potentials for Low-Inc ome Housing in Atlanta 1 1. - 21-66 City financing Public and private partnership Private Private foundations Cooperatives Public and private partnership Low-income families should be able to buy their own homes or apart ment units by making payments in lieu of rent. The city needs to explore financing which would allow people to remain in their homes even when their incomes rise above a certain level. 6. SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS A. This report will accomplish a great deal if it does no more than suggest some really exciting poss·ibilities and techniques for low-income housing, and stress the need to develop a program. B. Ideas have been suggested, some of which may be out of the que s tion. It is necessary, however, to explore every idea. The following procedures are recommended for developing solutions to the problem: 1. Organize a brain storming session which would include imag.i. na tive professionals, city officials and citizens in the low-income gr oup to suggest and refine ideas. 2. A slide presentation should be made to city officials, private developers and others to show them the latest and most imag inative solutions to low-income housing. 3. As a follow-up to the Housing Conference, appoint key priva te developers and architect-planners and sociologists to a committee for effecting the production of low-income housing. The committees could be organized according to the various hous ing proposals. Suggested chairmen and committees are as foll m, s : Chairmen Developers: Charles Ackerman Tom Cousins John Portman Architect-Planners: Joe Amisano John Gould Paul Muldawer Alan Salzman Ike Saporta Andrew Steiner Committe e . High-ri s e Pre-fab Mobile Homes 22l(d)( 3 ) Rehabil itation Cooperat i ves Sociologists: · Jack Schmidt The above represent a nucleus for a list. Community service should be s tressed because some of the p1~o j ects may have limited profit potential. Call attention to the ·ac t that if private development does not build this housing, public ho using will take over the low income market. �',J Page 7 Potentials for Low-Income Housing in Atlanta 11-21-66 Chairmen would appoint their own committees which would constitute subcomrnittees under the general cha irmanship of the Housing Resources Committee. The city would provide staff and research facilities for the various comrnittees, c. There are 4,645 low-income housing units scheduled for completion over the next five-plus years, which is a long way from the immediate need of 5000 units. D. A large resource of vacant land (over 800 acres) has been located for additional study. E. Make it possible for the city to buy vacant land for low-income housing in advance of actual need. F. A well planned program cannot be put together overnight. Hast e could result in a lasting mistake that the city would pay for in huma n problems. G. The planning of a low-income housing program for Atlanta to at t ack the total problem, not just increase the housing inventory, should be started immediately. The program should seek to do the following: - Outline goals. Study existing and new kinds of financing. Better site plans. Integrate housing with existing neighborhoods and study techniques for this purpose. Study management problems. Study tenant and ownership problems. Plan urban renewal and low-income housing together for a fifteen year period. Develop an inventory of low-income housing sites and re :;e rve them for future use. Develop a program which is based on many different types of projects and housing techniques so that the city can d r aw from a wide resource base and at the same time give l m, income people the kind of acconnnodation which is best suited to their needs.

The tall el evator-serviced apartment house rises up in tiny Italian towns, in new cities of India, in P aris suburbs, and not the least in the United States, author of the skyscraper. H ousing authorities faced with high land costs are of necessi ty providing elevator buildings at least for part of their inventor y. T hey are p ersuaded that not all design techniques used successfully in rowh ouse and walkup. a partment buildings are appropriate fo r high structures. The accompanying report contains suggestions, in large part provided by these ingenious _a uthorities, that make for case and econ omy in long-term management practice and in family satisfaction and cooperation. It is not to be taken as a final word. Authorities look for a new approach in the design of urban structures and tu rn to the architect _for imagination and invention, tempered by a practical knowledge of problems inherent in densely occupied bui lding groups. Public housing developments are not in their nature "institutions" and need not look or feel as if they were. They arc built for people. Their design must call forth people's interest, acceptance and understand ing, must stimulat e their iuiti ative, and meet their social r equirements. Nadi ne Gordimer, South African author, has said in another context, "An utterly impossible job-to improve th e liYing cond itions and morals of people while at the same time stifling their opinions and taking away from them any responsibility for their own destiny" . Authorities are concerned with techniques that will result in a "possible" job. This report offers suggestions toward that end. Its purpose is to supply a fo undation of exp erience upon -ivhich the a rchitect will build h is own New Jerusalem in a " green and pleasant land'"O �'r 'lf'i he image of a l!C'.V city ha~ been a~C<'ptcd by cit izens and is being Ji implemented with the :11 d of [, ctleral a nd local government. Schemes a rc proposed :mcl undertaken to break 11·ith old traditions and to provide a new, liYcly mclropolitan co mplex. Public housing is pa rt of this cornpl<'x. Its tk\'clopm cnts must be dcsi crned in keepin(T with the invi 0crora ted ci t)' so il1ai lh C)' 11ill be a satisfa ction and a pride to all cit izens. ~ ~ ElcYator-ser\'iced buildings, 16, 20 stories, and eYen higher, are becoming a necessary part of the supply of "decent, safe and sanitary" housing within the framework of community de,·clopment. Renewal schemes in rundown city areas and new high ways slicing thro ugh the outskirts result in masses of families turned loose, many of whom must be accommodated in public housing developments. Also the impact of in-migration from the countryside, and the notable increase of individual family size are as well kno wn to architects as to sociologists. This r eport will acquaint architects with some difficulties encountered in tall b uildings popula ted by fa milies many of ,rhom lived formerly in decrepit city slums a nd by others unused to urban living. All la rge-scale housing developments have complex problems, but there are certain ones that characterize h igh-rise buildings and require special thought for solution. Chief among these are: 1. Separation from the ground. Babies and small children need sunny play space close to their mothers; p arents and older children want the equivalent of a nea rby porch _for informal gatherings, relaxation, and for making the acquaintance of new friends. 2. Loss of identity, as well as a sense of pressure in the multiplefa mily floor of a ma ny-familied structure. Ranks of pigeonhole dwellings close together make difficulties boLh for the gregarious and fo r those who cherish privacy. The first type misses opportu nity for self-expression in the impersonal trafficways of narrow corridors and c rowded elevators; the second is oppressed by the closeness of his many neighbors. Different, and someti mes conflicting, solutions are here offered to the a rchitect fo r his di scri minati ng evaluation. The report also contains notes of experiments now being discussed by authorities to further increase orderly managemen t of the property, resulting in tena nt sati sfa d ion an d consequent accicp lancc of rcsponsil1il ity for th e fabric of the b uildings. The a rc hitect will need to visit exi sting developme n ts, both with authority personnel and by himself, fo r firstha nd obs;erva tion. He will rel'icw ho using puhlicati o11s and guides. He will S'lud y the results of experimental schemes ancl demo nstration buildings as they develop, such as parki ng troughs al Flemingdon P a rk, To1i<1rnto, or the forthcoming Pratt Institute (l3rooklyn ) stud y of·constrUiction methods that is sponsored by the HHFA. He will not scorn 311)7 scrap of practical in formation. Architects and authority staff must work closely tog;,ether from the first sketches to the "As-l3ui lt" drawings. The authori'ti.J ' supplies detailed man agement experience, knowledge of the market, a nd iLs own official relaLions with city departments and ,community o.rganizations. The a rchitect should aid in developing the program a-n d offer a physical translatio;1 of it. · He provides experience with 1t1ew materials and construction methods, and an inventive attack on ]Problems p osed by the authority. He will stress the importan ce of goo d workm anship as well as approp riate materials. Both architect a nd a uthority sliould make use of tfu.e social scientists' contributi on. For one example, a French study o.f workers' families showed that people with less than 8-10 s1.1uare moeters of space per person had twice as many · social and physical diisor ders than those with 10-14, meters.1 Both must have clearly in min<l the encl client, the: t enant famil y. No development is better than its 1Y1anagcrnent but, eq mially, no good management is possible without tenant cooperation iill the techniques of apaTtment living. One authority has a slogan, "Oenr,onstrate to tenants that management cares : tenants will care." Public housing has its own traditions, properly Jbased on the need for rigid economy, both in capital costs and maimtenance expenses. But, as M.

..-___ _ INTRODUCTIO ~ l; ' The first view off ,a housin g developm ent gi ves tenant and visitor alike a strong impression, whether or not it is a conscious one. This is particularly true of groups of tall buildin gs where greenery cannot disguise a11d sofu.cn building sh apes and positions. The high masses dominate the scene. A simple pattenn of well-spaced structures comfortably set in landscaped grounds, ,m ay be allaincd in many different ways. A study model with movmble buildings ca n be advantageous to architect and authority during the first phases of design. Some architects think themselves fort =a te if a combin ation of hi gh and low buildings is contemplated, w, ether attached or separated, as it gives th em scope in the overall design. This, of course, mu st be justified by land cost and subsoil conditioms and by the benefit gained by housing large families near the groun d!.. On e-story extens:iions or separate low buildin gs for managementmaintenance offic es, community spa ces, for a row of shops, even for a school ( the aull:lh ority will no doubt explore th at J)Ossibility with the local board of ed!:ucalion) , all th ese break up vertical masses an d provid e eye-level atecents.

Parking under buildings, or in troughs covered by walks and play spaces, :lo economize on land use and to separate cars from people, both for safety and a ppearancc. Carports with playgrounds on the roofs, for the same r easons. NOTE: Bnilding entrances near public streets diminish the need for visitors' parking space. b .

They afford also gay accents througi1 br ig htly colored benches and play equipmen t. Architects should insist on proYiding the color scheme for playground equipment so that it will complement and enhance overall design. A large playground for older children and their parer.ts is planned if a city park or playground is not nearby. Sometimes it is designed according to park department standards, built by the a utho rity, and run by the park department. If not, an open area largP. enough for softball games and equipped with basketball standa rds, parallel ba rs, shuffie board markings, etc., will be needed. A running track of four laps to the mile could border the space for many such acth·ities and will itself be a popular attraction. The large playground can be a useful counter to mischief resulting fr om teenage energy. Chief Justice Clark has r emarked that, "Most boys would 1:ather steal secon d base than steal a bicycle." Paths for bicycle ridi ng and roller skating are needed away from pedestrian ways, to avoid noise and accidents. It has been observed th at a sign, "No Bicycle Riding," is appar ently illegible to a boy who has no other track than the pedestrian way in which to show off his speed and daring. Existing rock outcrops that lend themselves to play add an economical b onus. Spray pools are welcomed in warm weather. Integral or a pplied color, e.g., swimming pool blue, in the concrete dish adds cheerfulness. The pool can be used as a skating rink in winter.

The simplest design for easy, safe access, fortun a tely, provides esthetic possibilities that architects will take advantage of. E asy approach to a well-defined and well-lighted door way prevents accidents; a canopy protects from weather and fr om fa lling objects ; smooth panels framing the entrance can be cleaned easily, house numbers must be legible from the strert, and so m ust directional signs for buildings that do not face the street. NOTE : Architects should be consulted on the design of all major signs used in the development, including any found necessary after the buildings a.re occup ied, for example, a community building title or a parking lot warning, to preserve unity of color and lettering. Thus rational design provides the ingredients for an impressive and pleasant gateway: a wide, canopi ed entrance that oilers a horizon tal contrast to the vertical structure ; color and texture different from the overall facing material; and attractive accents in house labels and light fix tures. Architects often ad opt some variation in entrance treatment for a group of buildings to add sparkle to the picture. Nonetheless, an entrance is only a passageway. Benches or p arapets at the entrance platform will turn it into a bottlen eck. If steps are necessar y, a baby carriage ramp will speed traffic and save wear and tear on vehicle and the mother's feelings. Sitting areas a bit removed will draw away people who come out to take the air, or tired shoppers who want to relax for a few moments outdoors before attacking their housekeeping.

PUBLIC TOILET A small public restroom ofI the lobby is considered desirable for children in neighboring play spaces and for those waiting for an elevator during rush hours. Diffi culties Encounte red a. T oilets misused to the point that most of those provided have been locked up. h. Damage to fixtures. Sug g estions a. A new design , not yet perfected, rather like the European urinoir," requiring little formal supervision, easily cleanable, and with minimal fi xtures. Local codes must be satisfied. b. Super vision during times most needed and otherwise locked. Openable only hy staff or tenant key. FURNI SHINGS The practice of providing a lobby unheated and bare of furnish ings will discourage, especially in northern cities, its use as a night shelter for drifters. It may also discourage tenant ·p ride in the lobby, and lack of interest in and resp onsibility for its appearance. An increasing policy of locking entrance doors al night makes comfortable waiting space more feasible than if doors are open or removed altogether. Some authorities prefer small lobbies to discourage "loitering" among ten ants and the attendant disturb ance to occupants of nearby dwellings. Recent designs, however, often avoid dwellings near entrance lobbie:;, using that space for laundr_ies, mail box rooms, a custodian's r.partment, Cle. --:--- 1:--:-: • i • . ; I' < ""-i ,· t . ,.,.

--:._, ~-' . ·--r; .J '-·· pQ Other authorities believe a large lobby decreases traffic problems and will consider space for game tables in some b uildings. The appearance of lobbies in privately managed developments is considered of particular importance. It sets the tone of the building. No doubt, pride in one's home i enjoyed also by tenants of public housing where thought has ·been given lo provide a cheery, attracti\·c pace. Architcc-ts can suggest st urd y furniture or orn amental objects to be installed as an experiment. A bench for m others wait ing for an elevator is hardly a luxury. Neither is a wcll-de~in-ned hulk-t in board for tenant- or staff-supplied notices of cnt ntain mc11ts, PTA meeting·, etc. P adlocked ashtrays, a masonry f1 owcrbox, a candy vendi ng machine, or other inexpensive attractions ,could be installed and later remon·d · 12 �_,,____ if people took no interest in or care for them. Caution: Vending m achines need cage protection, perhaps best set into wall niches with padlocked gra tin g when no supervi sor is at hand. And perhaps music could be broad c:ist in lobbies at ce rtain hou rs. In any case, gay colors and patterns ca n be provid ed on wa ll s. The Londo n County Council initi ated a success fu l prog ram Ly in viting young artists to c ollabo rate with arc hi tects aml c p 11tracto rs in the de,·elopment of new deco rat ive ,rn ll trea tm ents.

. ·• ,J;'. -: ..l . I ' �l INTRODU CTION The elevator i:s apparently the most fascinating bit of play equipment that an indulgent authority ca n provid e fo r its children. Self-service elevators, moreover, can be a source of trouble and danger on occasion. No doubt the eleva tor is the chief reason for authoriti es' relucta nce to proceed from ro,~house a nd walkup structures to tall apartm ent types. Some managers report that children's curiosity in the workings of an elevator wanes after several mon th s. One cannot count on this relief in a high building bulging with children. Peakloads at school lunchtime or at the en d of a school day, will fill the lobby with hungry, excitable children . Staff or tenant committee control is commonly adopted to prevent overcrowding and misuse. Design to ease the need for control is also helpful. Difficulties Encountered a. Crowded elevators with exasperating waiting time. b. Hatchway doors and bucks defaced; cab walls scratched; do or shoes damaged. c. Call buttons pull ed ofI ; flo or num erals scratched out. d. Children ridin g on top of cab. e. Urin ating on cab fl oor. £. Confrontation with dangerou s strangers. Su ggestions a. Two eleva to rs side by side (for economy in controls and for conveni ence) stopping a t all fl oors in build ings over six stories high. Elevators speed determined by calculating acceptable waiting time in th e local community. Provision of relay for rush hours so that the car's down travel can be stopped onl y by a call button fr om the publi c corridor. Sliding doors, to arnid accidents and to spL:ed service. Attend ant opera tion for emergency use. Car progress signals. On e regular and one service elevator. One elevator manned at rush hours. A third elevator for rush hours and for bulky furniture. b. Stainless-steel hatchwa y doors and bucks. ·steel fini shed with heayy plastic paint. Metal shoes for leading door edges. Patterned stainless-steel cab walls. Vinyl tile fl oors, to resist urine stain. Epoxy-cement flo oring. c. Steel or heavy aluminum call buttons. Floor numerals etched into car control panels. d. Ceiling escape hatch openable from t op only if local codes allow. Alarm bell to ring if hatch is opened. e. See discussion of publi c toilet off the lobLy and of su ggestions to interest ch ildren waiting for the thi rd or fourth appearance of the elevator, on page 12. f. Two p rotected lights in each cab ceiling. Alarm bell designed so th at a hand must be pressed on the button continu ously if it is to be silenced. Automatic alarm that rin gs whenever a car stops between fl oors. Gl ass or pla stic small windows in cab and hatchway door;;. Intercom in ele\·a tor, conn ected to man agement office . T ra nsp arent materi al for cab and ha tchway doors, where local codes permit. �. INTRODUCTION Dift1 culti e s Encount e re d The stretch of walkway fr om elevato r landing to :1 par t111ent d oor is a "side1rnlk in the sk y," whether designecl as an open ga llery or an in teri or corridor.

T hey like the appeara nce 0 11 the b uilding facade. T he " porc h"' sp;1ce on galleries is best enj oyed by tenant s if there is a fin or elongated column between each family's space. It p rovides a place fo r chair or crib out of nor mal circulation a nd also defines each fa m ily's a rea of r esponsibility. One adva ntage inherent in gallery access design is that tenants ca n observe sources of no ise and litter fr om their dwellings and can size up a neighbor wit hout contact, much as if the apar tment wer e on a street. Auth or ities, however, who prefer d ouble-loaded interior corridors speak of plan economy, ease of all-weather cleaning, less traffic d isturbance, and better privacy within the dwelling.

Prohibition ,of machines attached to plumbing lines within apartm ents. Bypass on p lumbing lines at lower floors. ROOF LAUN DR -,f f fI j Some authorities •express interest in the idea of providing roof laundries. Examples found in pri vately m anaged buildings and in some British "estates" bave been much enj oyed. At Carl Mackley Houses, Philadelphi a, for example, where washing machines were later installed on entrance floors , most of the r esidents still prefer to use th e roof. Many women insist that open-air drying is desirable and take advant age of it wher e prnssiblc; witness not only r owhouse dryi ng yards but also tenement hous e backyards gaily hung with clean clothi ng, as well as P aris balconies simil a rly adorned in spite of large "Dcfendu" signs. It is hard to under sta nd the horror some people have of this in nocent manisfcstati on of m ban life. It might be considered as colorful and appropriate as an lllmLrella on a beach. The use of ro ofs for laundering, on the other hand, is looked at unfavorably by othe r authorities. Heavy-duty roof construction and · protective harriers arc costly. Elevator traffic will in cr ease if a laundry is not provided om every rooftop. Plumbing system requirements are expensive sh ould a utomatic m ach ines be installed. Supervision of an unattended la und'r y is more diffic ult on a roof than on an entrance floor. There are some answers to these obj ections. New types of roofin g arc bringing down costs. Most cities r eq uire some roof-edge protection wheth er or not tenants arc allowed on the r oof, and maintenance men need it on high u ilclings even if it is not r equi red by code. Protection would, of course, have to he increased in height from that usuall y supplied. P ro tective ha rr iers arc not so costly as solid construction on the e ntra nce fl oor, ,d 1crc space could be phnned for la rge famili es with their own ent rances instead of for laundries. Use of a roof laundry could he confined to the Luilding tenants hy mPans of apa rtmenl.-ma~[,ercd keys. Tenant des ire for open-air dr yin g and for clea n, brighr. surro undings would facili tate tenant -orga nized control. Roo£ Lnundr)· . . . K a.Jtn er, Stonorov , Dc,iincn; W .

Ha lfway between tead1er-supervisccl roof pla ygro1:in d and the sumleck watchetl uvc.; r by a willin g dde 1ly tenant, this type u I roof facility needs a group ready to keep order and schedule events.

Architects can suggest roof construction and roug~ing for mechanic al lines to make f uture r oof use possible if an auLuor ity is not will ing to exper iment at the start or wants to Lry out one:: roof. INTRODUCTION Happy is the manager in a city where the code allows roof access doors to be locked against tenan t or prowler. The urge to investigate roo fs is so strong that one find s a locked cage in front of a lo.eked door to prevent damage. Diffic ulties Encountere d a. R oof t re:;pass lead ing to damage of roof fabric, venti lating fans, TV a nten nas, and to the danger of children falling or objects thro11 n from roof. b . Obj ects stufTed into plu mbing vents. c. Danger to children and to equipment if childr~n climb incinerator stacks or break into elevato r machine roon1s. Suggestion s a. Locked roof door, where codes allow. Alarm bell at roof doo r. TV antennae, if needed, out of r each. b . Vent stack above children's r each with wire guard protection. c. Interior locked access from top floor to machine room. Access to incinerator stack fro m scuttle in roof of machine room structure, separated by partition or cage from m achine room proper. t!Ja~ l!R@@ fi ROO F USE A few autho rities a re considering the nettle-grasping response to t enants' desire to invade the roof by providing some form of activity there. · A roo f laundry h as been mentioned on page 20, and some objections to roof use arc there discussed. Roof playgrounds are found in city schools, and imndecks in private apartment buildings, even in some priva tely subsidized low-rent structures. Roof lounges for adults h ave been successful in subsidized buildings for elderly occupants. High buildings are largely the result of high land costs. R ecent products designed to give heavy-duty performance on roofs may lower considerably the cost of a usable fin ish, an d might even show a saving by economy in land area needed for the development. Roof spaces, mo reover, are not overrun with a utomobiles or permeated with gas exhaust. Play equipment ca n be spot welded to heavy metal plates grou ted to the deck finish to avoid piercing it. Vents have been ra ised above normal height a nd g iven metal sunshade umbrellas sleeved to the f'haft.

Rose. 19631 Li ving Room in UH Various ways to approxima te that dimension on a comm un al basis have been noted in earlier chapters. Private balconies do provide occupan t-controlled outdo or space, an d are though t by some authorities to be worth thei r cost in high buildings. The usefuln ess of a dwelling layout is tested by early furniture studies. Draftsmen sometimes minimize furniture dimensions a bit, and are apt to place large items where heating risers or convectors will appear in fully developed plans. Bureaus shown pa rtly against columns are not unknown in such stu dies that, if so pl aced, would create dirt p ockets. · Six i nches along a bedside does not give room to make up a bed . A crib with its head again st a h eat riser and its foot o\'crlapping a window is probably as goo d a way to g ive the baby sn iffies as any other. A hi gh win dow in a two-windowed b edroom provides wall space below for a dresser if a convector is n ot p laced under it. It can be cons id ered ext ravaga nt to design a space useful for only one function within the small a rea allotted to each family.

Ee then e xplained the other do c unents which 1-J'ere attached. He also st~ted that there were severa l difficulties in locating rental housing sites., partially because of the racial problems i~ Atlanta, and gave his interpretation of the May 5, 1967 letter from HUD, pertaining to HUD ' s reluctence to approve Public Housing sites in racially concentrated areas . Dr. Vivian Henderson, Land Acquis i tion Pane l, stated that this did not necessarily hold true in all case s ; that he did not thin~ the announced HUD policy was intended to apply to racially ir.tegrated projects in previo usly all white neighborhoodso Dp. Henderson alsc asked about his Panel's previous request for a list of possible sites for locating low-cost housing . Mr . Jones explained that this has been requested from t~e Planning Department, but not yet prepared; however, that he has been provided ttith a group of Land Lot sheets showing va cant property (with current zoning) in the eastern half of the city; and these locations were being looked into. �Page Two Dr . Henderson suggested t ~a t the need for such a list of avail able sites be reported to t, e Board of 1 ldermen . M~.

He also stated that t he developers !:ad already looked i nto t hese prop erties but that only four tra ct s· had been approve d s o far. Mr . Jones stat e d that he knew of only t wo, or possibly three, of thes e t hat had been actually approved by BUD . Mr. Alexander stated that one of the mai n prob l em s was t hat the land devel opers c ould not always use the sites be c ause ·of locations, costs, and building codes. jV[r. John C.

Mr. Jones stat ed that it was this Commit t ee's policy to cons ider any suitab l e l ocati on that was submitted or prop o sed a nd to tr y to ge t a ct i on based on merits of individua l tra cts. Lee Burge, Finance and Non -Profit Funds ~anel, asked ~f this Committee was over-playing the housing pr oble ms, or if this was just the normal type of thing which resulted fr om trying to get through zoning changes , Housing h.u t hor i ty and/or .- FHA approval of a housing deve lopment. ~~. ~r . Alexander explained that there is a greater low-re ntal need in the city than apparently some members of the FHA underwriting staff feel justified . Mr. Jones said that the problems were not being over-pla yed because there were many prob le ms in trying to locate low-cost housing sites. He explained that this was the p0 r p ose of this meeting; to try to work out some of these problems. Dr. Henderson stated that many of the present problems appeared to be with the Planning Department , and they were not very good reasons. Mr. Alexander stated that the City is striving to get a workable Land Use plan which people feel that they can rely on. Mr. Dale Clark, Public Information Panel, asked if the Pla-nni"ng Department is represented on t his Committee. �Page Three Mro Jones st at ed t hot it is not; but t ha t we are wor king i n clo se contact with each other. i\lr Alexander stated t hat t he genera l fee l i:ie; is that i n some re sidential area s the zoning from single fa~i l y houses to a partments wi ll be a ne cessity o He asked the press not to mention any specif:i..c areas wne r e th i s ma y be poss ible, be cause there are no definite plans to this effect as yet . Mr. Burge asked if it would not be~ - ~pful to create a link between the Housing Resources CornLl ittee and the Planning Department?

Jones stated that there is some effort to build this type of house in Atlanta., But that there is difficulty because of tht At2.anta Building Code . This code states that the plumbing, electrical, and heating fixtures be installed on site in Atlanta, and that the pre-fabricated houses come with thes e fixtures and electrical circutes already instal led. towever., there are plans being matlc now for so~e sites on which prefabricated houses could be located by des~gina ting special areas �Page Four where t his type of housing could b e installed o He al s o st ated that t_he a mount of land r eqLlired to bu i ld a house on was too gre·at economically in Atlanta for t his t ype of hous e ., nnd that there are also plans under wa y t o corre c t this by permi t ting them to be built on a 50 1 x 100 1 lot, or 60 x 83.33 1 (5,000 sqo feet i nstead of 7,500 sq. feet, ·which is now requ::.redo) Mro Alexander stated that· he thought tha t organizatio~s su ch as Tech sould organize stud ies of t he housing s it uation in Atlanta, which wo uld be mad e availab le to this Committee .

The following members were present: Mr. Dale Clark, Public Info rmat ion Panel Dean William S. Jackson, Social Problems Panel Mr. J. E. Land, Lan d Acquisition Panel Mr. Archer D. Smith, III, Le g al Panel Mr. Edwin L. Sterne , Public Housing Panel Mr. Hall Ware, Finance and Non-Profit Funds Panel Mr. John C. Wilson, Finance and Non-Profit Fund s Panel Mr. Robert Winn, Construction and Design Panel The Business Participation Panel was not represented at the meeting. Col. Malcolm Jones presided in the Chairman's absence. Col. Jones explai ned that this was the second in a series of monthly meetings designed to bring the Committee members up to date on the progress of the program. H e then asked each of the panel representatives to make a rep ort on the a ction taken by their r espe ctiv e panels. Finance and Non-Profit Funds Panel - Mr . Wilson and Mr. Ware explained that the Committee is actively engage d i n developing a local funding group to provide II seed" money t o promote low co st h ousing. Preliminary dis cuss ions have been held and material from other such organi zation s is being reviewed. Social Problems Panel - Dean Jackson reported that this panel has met to organize their group and has discussed some of the broad areas to be encompassed by the panel. Two main decisions came out of this meeting: 1. The panel should have representatio n from the community it self and, therefore, two new members have been added. They are: D r. Charles F. Schwab, President, Protestant Welfare and Social Services, Inc., and Mr. Erwin Stevens, Chairman, Citiz en s Central Advisory Committee, Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc. 2. The panel felt it would be helpful to develop some guidelines as to what is anticipated as goals for adequate living. �Page Two Dean Jackson added that one of his cl as ses is presently conducting a surve y of the attitudes of families living in the vicinity of the B e dford-Pine ar ea to be completed by the end of this month. If anything helpful comes out of the study it will be shared with the Conunittee. Land Acquisition Panel - Mr. Land reported that this panel is still in the process of thoroughly organizing. However, as a result of the first meeting it was decided that two or three real estate men would be added to the group and this is in process at present. Meetings are planned with the Atlanta Housing Authority and the Federal Housing Administration. Construction and Design Panel - Mr. Winn reported t:q.at three archi tec ts have been obtained to work with the panel in carrying out its functions. The panel members have organized and have scheduled regular monthly meetings and are beginning to plan their program. Legal Panel - Mr. Smith, representing Mr. Weltner, stated that two attorne y s have been added to assis t in the work of the panel. They are: Mr. Archer D. Smith, III , Attorney, Harmon & Thackston, and Mr. Norman L. Underwood , Attorney, San ders, H ester & Holley. The panel members are working in thre e areas at the present time: 1. 2. 3. Research and examination of the laws dealing with FHA housin g, particul arly the requisites for obtaining FHA grants and loans; Study of complaints and problems concerning the enforcement of the Housing Code; and Res earch into the pa rt of t h e law particularly co n cerne d with the Grant and Loan Program (fo r re habilitation o f sub-standard housi ng) being restricted to U r ban Renewal and Code Enforcement areas. Public Hrusing Panel - Mr. Sterne reported that this panel has met once and at that meeting the members were generally acquainte d with what is going on in public housing. Mr. Stern e told the group of many of the program.s the Housing Authority is presently engaged in. Public Information Panel - Mr. Clark reported that th e pane l members have met and that he also met with Col. Jones and Mr. Alexander for a bri efing on the overall program. He stated that his concept of this panel's ftmction is: one of informing the general public and to report fully through the news 1nedia what the Committee is doing, and that until some definite action is taken hy the Committee and the function of the Committee is a little better focused, this panel will n ot be able to really move forward on their program. �Page Three Col. Jones then distributed up-to-date copies of the Inventory of the various housing projects which have been proposed and provided members of the pr e ss with a summary of this report. He reviewed the summary with the comm itte e and discussed in detail some of the problems the committee is encountering in getting these projects underway. The major problems include: 1. Attitude of home owners toward apartment units; 2. Zoning; and 3. Determination of the location of housing {HUD prefers that such housin g not be located in areas of racial concentration). The group discussed possible solutions to these problems but no positive decisions were reached. Col. Jones also told the group of a meeting Mr. Alexander has reques t ed for a special meeting of the Board of Aldermen for the purpose of inviting builders and developers to appear before them to discuss their problems from their points of view. He added that it would be helpful to have some members of the Executive Group at this meeting also. Mr. Land of the Land Acquisition Panel said that his panel would definitely be represente d at the meeting. Col. Jones requeste d each of the panels to elect permanent Chairme n an d Vi ce Chairmen as soon as possible, if they have not al~eady done so, and to a d v ise him who has be e n ele cted. Mr . Cl a rk told the E xe cut ive Group members that his panel (Public Infor mati on) is alw ays ope n to committee member s for any sugge stions or r e comme n dati on s a s to h ow th e public infor mati on p r o g ram can help f urth er the goals of the Committee. H e also re commended to Col. Jones t h at the informatio n containe d i n :: t he s u mmary o f t h e proble m areas be made available to the press . Col. Jone s agree d w i t h Mr .

In addition, 1782 units have been rehabilitated since October under the Housing Code. The goals established by the City for the program are 16,800 units by the end of 1971 , consisting of 9800 units during 1967 and 1968 and 2333 units during each of the succeeding three years. The principal difficulties currently confronting the Committee in developing the program are the following: (a) General objection by single family home owners to multi-family units being built anywhere near them, even though the multi-family construction may be a v~ry high type of cooperative sales housing for purchase and occupancy by family units and presold before construction begins, l

- - - -- - ---------------:----- - - - - - - - -------. �.. - . ' -2- (b) Difficulty in getting sufficient suitable tracts appropriately zoned, because of objections from residents of the areasinvolved. (c) Persistent efforts by certain groups to effect the spreading of low and medium income housing throughout all sectors of the City, even though suitable tracts of land may not be available in some areas to developers at prices which make construction of such housing economically feasible. (d) Recently announced policy by HUD discouraging the location of public housing in areas of racial concentration. (e) Conservatism by FHA on approving projects in certain areas, to insure against the possibility of over-building the market in any portions of the City. (f) Discouragement on the part of promoters and developers faced with the above indicated problems. The combination of these problems is slowing down the program substantially and, if continued, will make the goals very difficult to attain. ·,I .'i. ,, .,1· . ,, I I' ( .' �May .Z3, 1967 MEMORANDUM TO: Colonel M~lcolm Jone FROM: Mayor lvan Allen, Jr . .

ETHERIDGE TECHNICAL DIRECTOR 82" HURT BUILDING ATLANTA, GEORGIA 30303 JACKSON 3-6074 May 17, 1967 The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor of the City of Atlanta City Hall Atlanta, Georgia Dear Mayor Allen: This replies to your letter of May 10 transmitting copy of a memorandum submitted by the Housing Resources Committee and requesting our specific comments on items 5, 6 and 9. These comments are as follows: (5) We are unaware of any offers for sale by owners of 103 units on Boulevard resulting from housing code inspections. As a general rule it is not financially feasible to acquire old housing by purchase since necessary financing of the resulting project must extend over a 40 year life. It is preferable to lease units in such buildings since the economics usually do not justify purchase. (6) At the present time negotiations are proceeding concerning the leasing of units in four additional separate sites. We hope t o be able to add to the total number of units now under lease. The great difficulty is the l ow vacancy rate in housing of acceptab l e standard in the Atlanta area, which has resulted in an attitude by most landlords that there is no financial advantage t o them to enter into a lease agreement with the Housing Authority since they already have extensive waiting lists and are n o t having to make improvements that possibly would be required under the Housing Authority leasing program. �Mayor Allen ~age 2 May 17, 1967 The Housing Authority representative is devoting ample time to the investigation of all available leads. All real estate firms listed in the Yellow Pages have been circularized as well as members of the two real estate boards. Constant visual investigations are made in trips to various sections of the city to find out where vacancies might be in existence. The processing of individual tenant leases for occupancy of units in private housing is not greatly time consuming since it only averages about thirty minutes per tenant. It i s considere d very important for the leasing represent a tive to make very frequent checks of existing leased housing to make sure that the public housing tenants are living up to their obligations affecting the care of the premises, etc. If this program can b e controlled so that private landlords see that public housing tenants are better than average tenants this should h a ve a n importa nt impact on t he availabil i ty of addi tiona l units f or l e as e . Althou gh the numb e r of le a s e d sites h a s not increased in the past few weeks, the number of public housing tenants has had a steady growth as dwelling units have become available in pres e nt locati ons. (9 ) Redu c ti on i n minimum p ri ce of sing l e family l o t s fo r sal e in the Thoma sville Urban Redev e lopme nt P ro j ec t b e l ow the ir cu r r ent minimum has been c ons i dered i n t he pas t. The staff is of t h e opinion tha t such reduction would not encourage the deve l opment of t he se lots b e c a use: (a ) The p r ice a s n ow s e t is l e ss t han the value of the lots shoul d t he de v e l oper ac qu i re l and at reasonable price and prov ide the stree t s , utilities , and other ameni ties as provided by this p r o j e ct. (b) The Federal Housi n g Admi nis tra t ion will a ll ow as land valu e onl y the amou nt actual ly paid to us by the deve l oper. Therefore, any redu ction in the price of the land wouldmly res ul t in a redu ct i on in the amount of the loan unde rwritt e n by FHA .

The following members were present: Mr. Dale Clark, Publi c Information Panel Dean William S. J ackson, Social Problems Panel Mr. J. E. Land, Land Acquisition Panel Mr . Archer D. Smith, III, Legal Panel Mr. Edwin L. Sterne, Public Housing Panel Mr. Hall Ware, Finance and Non-Profit Funds Panel Mr. John C. Wilson, Financ e and Non-Profit Funds Panel Mr. Robert Winn, Cons tructi on and Design Panel The Business Participation Panel was not represented at the rn.eeting. Col. Malcolm Jones presided in the Chairman's absen c e . Col. Jones explained that this was the second in a series of monthly meetings designed to bring the Committee members up to date on the progress of the progra1n. He then asked each of the panel representatives to make a report on the action taken by their respective panels. Finance and Non-Profit Funds Panel - Mr. Wilson and Mr. Ware explained that the Committee is actively engaged in developing a local funding group to provide "seed" money to promote low cost housing. Preliminary discussions have been held and material from other such organizations is being reviewed. Social Problems Panel - Dean Jackson reported that this panel has met to organize their group and has discussed some of the broad areas to be encompassed by the panel. Two main decisions came out of this meeting: 1. The panel should have representation from the community itself and, therefore, two new members have been added. They are: Dr. Charles F. Schwab , President, Protestant Welfare and Social Services, Inc., and Mr. Erwin Stevens, Chairman, Citizens Central Advisory Committee, Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc. 2. The panel felt it would be helpful to develop some guidelines as to what is anticipated as goals for adequate living. �Page Two Dean Jackson added that one of his cl a sses is p r es e ntly conducting a surve y of the attitudes of families living in the vicinity of the B e dford-Pine a r e a to be completed by t h e e nd of this month. If anyt hing h e lpf ul comes out of the study it will b e sha red wit h the Committee . Land Acquisition P a nel - Mr. L a nd reported that this pane l is still in t he process of thoroughly organizing. H ow e ver, as a r e sult of the first m e e t ing it was decided that two or three real estate men would be added to the g roup and this is in process a t present. Meetings are planned with the Atlanta Housing Authority and the Federal Housing Administration. Construction and D es i gn Panel - Mr. Winn reported that three archite c t s have been obtained to work with the panel in carrying out its functions. The pan el members have organized and have scheduled regular monthly meetings and are be ginning to plan t heir program. L e g al P a n e l - Mr. Smith, re p re senting M r. W e ltner , state d that two a ttorn e ys have b ee n adde d t o as s i st i n t h e w ork of the panel. They are: Mr. Arche r D. Smith, III, Attorney, H a rmon & Thackston, and Mr. Norm.an L. Underwood, Attorne y, Sanders, H es t er & Holley. The panel members ar e working in t h re e ar e as a t the pres ent t ime: 1. 2. 3. R esearch and examina tion of the l a ws d ealing wit h F H A hous ing , p articularly the re quis ite s fo r obtaining F HA grants and loans; S t u d y of comp l a ints and problems conc ernin g the enfor ceme nt of the Housin g Code ; and Re s earch into t h e part of the l aw par tic ul a r ly conc e rne d with t h e Gr ant a nd L o an Pr o gra m (for reh a bilita tion of sub -standard housing ) b e i n g r e stri c ted to Urb a n R e newal and Cod e E nfo r c ement areas .

Clark r ep orted that the panel members have met and that he also me t with C ol. Jon e s and Mr. Alexander for a brie fing on the overall program. He stated that h i s concept of this panel's function is one of informing the general public and to report full y through the news 1nedia what the Committee is doi ng , and that unt il s ome definite action i s taken by the Committee and the functi on o f the C ommi ttee i s a l ittl e better focused, this panel will not be a ble to really move for w ard on their program. �Page Three ~Col. Jones then distributed up-to-date copies of the Inventory of the various housing projects which have been proposed and provided members of the press with a sum.mary of this report. He reviewed the summary with the co1nmittee and discussed in detail some of the problems the committee is encountering in getting these projects underway. The major problems include: 1. Attitude of home owners toward apartment units; 2. Zoning; and 3. Determination of the location of housing {HUD prefers that such housing not be located in areas of racial concentration). The group discussed possible solutions to these problems but no positive decisions were reached. Col. Jones also told the group of a meeting Mr. Alexander has requested for a special meeting of the Board of Aldermen for the purpose of inviting builders and developers to appear before them to discuss their problems from their points of view. He added that it would be helpful to have some members of the Executive Group at this meeting also. Mr. Land of the Land Acquisition Panel said that his panel would definitely be represented at the meeting. Col. Jones requested each of the panels to elect permanent Chairmen and Vice Chairmen as soon as possible, if they have not already done so, and to advise him who has been elected. Mr. Clark told the Executive Group members that his panel (Public Information) is always open to committee members for any suggestions or recommendations as to how the public information program -can help further the goals of the Committee. He also recommended to Col. Jones that the information contained in :: the summary of the problem areas be made available to the press. Col. Jones agreed with Mr. Clark and advised that he would take up this matter with Mr. Alexander. There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 11:30 a. m.

Cecil A. Alexander, I '·! Chair man, Dr. Sanford Atwood, President of Emory University . and Dr. Benjamin E. Mays, President of Morehouse College, Co-Chairmen of the Committee, were unable to att end . The Executive Group (consisting of the Chairmen of the nine working panels into whi ch the overall Committee is organized) studied a recently prepared Committee report on the status of the current housing program. submitted by various developers. It is summarized as follows: No. Units 1967 Firm 3556 (1312) Probable 3553 Category

Includes 1140 units of Public Housing , plus 144 existing units leased for Public Housing.

In addition, 1782 units have been rehabilitated since October under the Housing Code. The goals established by the City for the program are 16,800 units by the end of 1971, consisting of 9800 units during 1967 and 1968 and 2333 units during each of the succeeding three years. The principal difficulties currently confronting the Committee in developing the program are the following : (a) General objection by single family home owners to multi-family units ' ' ' being built anywhere near them, even though the multi-family construction may be a very high type of cooperative sales housing for purchase and occupancy by family unit s and presold before construction begins. l ' ·I I I �. . ~ . -2(b) Difficulty in getting sufficient suitable tracts appropriately zoned, because of objections from residents of the areasinvolved. (c) Persistent efforts by certain groups to effect the spreading of low and medium income housing tnroughout all sectors of the City, even though suitable tracts of land may not be available in some areas to developers at prices which make .! construction of such housing economically feasible. (d) .:1 ,I Recently announced policy by HUD discouraging the location of ,I public housing in areas of racial concentration. ,, (e) Conservatism by FHA on approving projects in certain areas, to I insure against the possibility of over-building the market in any portions of the City. (f) Discouragement on the part of promoters and developers faced with the above indicated problems. The combination of these problems is slowing down the program substantially and, if continued, will make the goals very difficult to attain. ,· .·.·1 ( ' .. -·

Sweat, Jr. Director of Governmental Liaison F -rom: Malcolm D. Jones Supervisor of Inspection Services Pursuant to our brief discussion this morning, the following is a concise list of major problems currently being encountered in the low-cost housing program (for more detail see copy of my letter of April 12 to Cecil Alexander). 1. Difficulty for developers to find land suitably zoned and at prices which make low-cost housing development economically feasible. 2. NAACP objection to sites proposed in areas which they . consider occupied predominately by Negroes. 3. Support of the NAACP position by the Intergroup Relations Section of the Regional Office of HUD. with apparently the backing of HUD at the Washingtonllevel. 4. FHA reluctance to approve locations which they consider might offer competition to development of Rockdale; also constant and extreme conservatism against ov er building in any area until each development is actually tested as to marketability; plus the ov erflow effect of the difficulty e x pla ined in 2 and 3 above , although no directive to that effect appears to have yet actually reached the local FHA office. l �l .... Mr. Sweat Page Two April 21, 1967 5. Neighborhood resistance by home owners, generally to apartments going anywhere near them. 6. Reluctance of the Board of Aldermen to rezone suitable areas because of neighborhood objections. 7. Reluctance of the Planning Department to recommend . rezoning of necessary areas because of inconsistency with previously adopted plans in most areas. 8. Difficulty in keeping developers interested in view of the combination of the above listed problems. 9. Slowness of non-profit groups to sponsor projects (a mandatory provision of the 221 d (3) low-interest rate program). Malcolm D.

Re tur~ address post card �MINUTES / HOUSING RESOURCES EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE APRIL 6, 1967 Members of the Housing Resources Committee Executive Group met on Thursday, April 6, 1967, at 10:00 a. m. in City Hall. The following members were present: Mr. Cecil A. Alexander, _Chairman Mr. Lee Burge, Finance Panel Mrs. Sujette Crank, Social Problems Panel Mr. Virgil Milton, Business Participation Panel Mr. Ray Moore, Public Information Panel Mr. Moreland Smith, Construction and Design Panel Mr. Charles L. Weltner, Legal Panel Mr. John Wilson, Non-Profit Funds Panel The following panels were not represented at the meeting: Land Acquisition Panel Public Housing Panel Mr. Alexander reviewed the general functions of the Housing Resources Committee and informed the participants of the Housing Resources Committee Offic e that had been established in the City Hall. He also advised that Col. Malcolm Jones has been assigned to coordinate the housing program and Mr. William Gates, as consultant 6n FHA matters, is assisting in the office one day each week. He announced that the City has also just approved a secretarial position for this office to be filled as soon as possible. Mr. Alexander then introduced Mr. M. B. Satterfield, E x ecutive Director of the Atlanta Housing Authority, who briefed the group on the public housing program. Mr. Satterfield report e d on the number of public housing units at the present time: 1. There ar e presently 8,874 units with virtually no vacancies. 2. 650 units are under construction at the McDaniel Stre e t Proj ec t . 3. A bid has b een accepted for 14 0 units extension to the Perry Homes Project. �Page Two 4. 350 units in the design stage have been submitted to the Federal Housing Administration for review. The Housing Authority expects to let bids on these units this summer. 5. 140 units are under lease under the leasing program. He pointed out these different projects on a city map to give the Committee members an idea of the location of this . housing. He stated that some concern has been expressed for the need of public housing in the eastern quadrant of the city and explained that the main difficulty is in securing any open land in this area that would be useable. Developers are being encouraged to consider this section of the city. He explained that the Atlanta Housing Authority presently has 4, 200 units reserved (allocated) by the Federal Government. He then reviewed the different programs available in providing this lowincome housing. These includ e : 1. Direct construction by the Housing Authority and the Turnkey Program. 2. Purchase and rehabilitation of older and existing houses. 3. Leasing by the Housing Authority of standard dwellings. At this point Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. spoke to the group briefly regarding the housing program. He said that he was greatly impressed with the interest being shown in efforts to get more low-income housing underway in the city. He pointed out, as Mr. Satterfield did, that the main problem he has encountered is in securing suitable and available locations for these units. He expressed a desire to see more non-profit sponsors willing to carry through on a project to construct such housing units. Col. Malcolm Jones then revi ewe d with the members of the Committee the various pieces of informational material made available to them today and brought these reports up to date on changes that have taken place. _ He also pointed out the different proposed projects on a map of the city so the members might see th e distribution of the units. The following revisions were reported in the February 20, 1967, report: �Page Three No. Units 1967 Firm 3092 (1226) Probable 4685 Total 7777 Categor1y Under Consideration 3405 Doubtful 2968 Total (1226) Estimate When Available 1970 1968 1969 1971 ( 1550) (316) (2573) (912) (500) (700) (4123) (1228) (500) (700) 14, 150 ·Col. Jones also distributed a report concerning the problem areas of the program. Currently there are 4, 900 units in all categories which are facing serious difficulties for various reasons. This report was to advise the Committee of the situations ex is ting. The Chairman next recommended and requested the following to the Committee: 1. A monthly meeting date. the month at 10:00 a. m. 2. He requested all panels to submit the names of their Chairmen and Vice Chairmen as soon as possible. 3. He reques ted th e Legal Panel to investigate th e feasibility of amending and broadening F ederal l egislati on concerning financial assistance to home owners in urban renewal and cod e enforcement areas whose homes are cond emned. At pres ent, home owners in urb an ren ewal areas and Federal approved code enforcement areas are the only persons eligible for such assistance. He feels that such assistance should be city-wide. 4. Mr. Al exander asked that encouragement be given to neighboring commw1ities to have good Workable Programs. Atlanta's program is in good order but this does not apply to all other communities in Metropolitan Atlanta. 5. He asked the Legal Panel to investigate the State t ax laws. He feels the present tax laws are favorable to retention and creation of slums. It was established for the first Thursday of �Page Four 6. He announced that the Finance and Non-Profit Panels have been combined. 7. He advised that he and Mr. Lee Burge are looking into the need for formation of a Housing Development Corporation. Suggestion was made that the Chamber of C ommerce be asked to look into the matter and to assist. 8. At the present time he is trying to. get some information from the City Planning Department regarding the available land in the city. However, it will be some time before this information is complete. 9. He expressed his concern over the difficulties that are being encountered in securing approval of sites. This is caused by various reasons, as indicated in the special report distributed by Col. Jones. He feels that this is becoming a very serious problem and that something must be done as soon as possible to try to provide solutions to these :problems. 10. The Committee and office staff have been approached many times by developers requesting that they refer them to lawyers and archite cts familiar with the housing programs. The professional organizations of thes e groups have been asked to supply the Housing Resources Office with a list of those persons familiar with and interested in this field and these lists will be furnished the develop e rs upon request. 11. He recommended to the Construction Panel that they take under advisement the, various codes of the City of Atlanta and other agencies to det ermine if such codes are practical and feasible. 12. He requested assistance from the Social Pr oblems Panel in providing solutions to the many problems being created in the location of these housing units. 13. There are s eve ral areas of the city that have not been touched for additional low cost housing and he feels a much more aggr e ssive program is n ee ded. He referred to such areas as Vine City and Mechanicsville. 14. He asked th e members to consider the problem of r e location of p eople displaced w hil e units are under construction and to come up w ith some �Page Five workable way to build thes e units without completely disrupting the neighborhood. 15. He proposed that a task force be set up in the areas of prime consideration to improve communications with the residents. After a short discussion period the meeting was adjourned at 11:45 a. m.

MOSES, Executive Secretary DAN E. SWEAT, JR., Director of Governmen tal Liaison Mr. Ray Moore News Director WSB-TV 1601 West Peachtree Street, N. E. Atlanta, Georgia 30309 Dear Mr. Moore: A Housing Resources Committee is being established in Atlanta to work closely with and as an adjunct to the Mayor's Office in a special effort to provide through pr·i vate enterprise, non-profit organizations and public housing sufficient housing units for all those in low and medium income brackets in Atlanta to be housed in decent, safe and sanitary housing and to eliminate existing slums in our city. Sub-committees of the Housing Resources Comnittee will soon be appointed in various fields of endeavor to serve on the Committee for accomplishing this momentous objective. You have been nominated to serve with several others on the Public Information Sub-Committee. It is anticipated that at its first meeting each Sub-Committee will . elect its own Chairman, wh o will also be the Sub-Committee's representative on the Executive Group of the Housing Resources Committee as a whole. It is also expected that each Sub-Committee, in addition to supplying "know how" in its particular field, will also be influential at all levels to gain acceptance for and promotion of the program and would select at least two young men from firms which can afford to devote part of their time for intensive work with the Sub-Committee. It would also be helpful if each Sub-Committee could form an advisory panel of people active in the field of housing who would �Mr. Moore Page Two December 30, 1966 remain free to pursue their active business without conflict of interests. We hope that you will be able to serve on this Sub-Committee. Please advise Col. Malcolm Jones (telephone 522-4463, Ext. 432 or 437). Cordially, I Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor Cecil A.
