M., Wednesday December 11, 1968 I URBAN RENEWAL PROGRESS - 1968 REMARKS BY HOWARD OPENSHAW DIRECTOR OF REDEVELOPMENT FOR THE ATLANTA HOUSING AUTHORITY BEFORE THE CITIZENS ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR URBAN RENEWAL DECEMBER 11, 1968 �In reporting to this Committee one year ago this month, I predicted that in 1968 cons truction totaling $26.2 million would be started on urban renewal land, i ncluding the start of const ruction of 1,468 dwelling units, a subst antial increase over the previous year . I am happy to r eport that construction wa s ~ct ual y §tart §d on 1mprovement g t otali ng $39 ,9 mi lli.on, including the st art of ,. 1,033 dwelli ng ·units of which 884 dwelling units have been compl et ed. This housing construct ion r e pr e sents over fo ur t imes t he number of dwelling unit ~ started and 21 times t he number of units compl eted t he previ ous year . This i s t he first time in Atlanta 's Urban Renewal Program history wher e hous ing construction exceeded the number of dwelling uni t s demolished. I site this as a specif ic exampl e of a con- scious ef for t on the par t of the Housi ng Authority not only to demonstrat e a fe asibl e reloc ation plan by sj ting the availabilit y of housing fo r f amilies being reloca ted by governmental ac tion at r ents peopl e c an affo rd - but actually t o provide sufficient housing f or those f amil ies being di splaced . This has not been the pat t ern of urban r enewal in t he pa st in t hi s City or any other, a f ault well t aken by crit ic s of the Urban Renewal Program . It seems to me t hat we are clearly moving in the r ight di rection. From t he period Dec ember 1, 1967 t o December 1, 1968, t he Atlant a Hous i ng Authori t y has acquired 285 parcels of l and at a cost of $6. J million . Authority r eloc at ed 180 f ami lies , 77 individual s , and The 55 bus i ness concerns f rom urban renewal ar eas , and provided hous i ng assi st ance ·to an addit io nal 328 f amil i e s and 98 indi viduals r el ocat ed a s a r esult of other governmental acti on (i .e . Code Enforc ement, Stat e Hi ghway, Board of Educ at i on, and airport expa nsi on ) . During the past 12 mont hs the Authority demol ished 284 s t r uctures comprising 484 dwelling units , and compl et ed r ehabi lit ation of 154 dwel l ing units . - 1 - �The Authority sold 31 parcels of land for $3.5 million and put under contract for sale an additional 21 parcels having a value of $ 2.6 million. I Construction was begun on improvements totaling $39.9 million. These tmprovements include the star~ of 1,033 dwelling units, the Ira Hardin office building, an addition to :the Marriott Motor Hotel, and improvements at Georgia State College and the Georgia Institute of Technology. Improvements totaling $11.2 million were completed in the past 12 months, including 884 dwelling units. Several other activities during this period should be noted. The Housing Authority received Federal authorization to provide 60 relocatable housing units in the Bedford-Pine Area. This was the first authorized use of relocatable housing units on urban renewal land in the country, and was in direct respons e to a corrnnittment made by the City to residents of the Bedford-Pine Community that only those areas ready for rede velopment would be cleared, and that every effort would be made to permit the maximum number of f amilie s to remain in the area - even while permanent housing was being constructed. Site improvements fo r these units is now underway, and we ho pe that the first relocatable housing units will be in place and ready for occupancy befo re the end of the ye ar. A seco nd item of note wa s the development compe tit io n by the Housing Author ity of t he 96 acres of Federal surplus l and, fo rmerly U. S. Penete nt i ary pro perty, made ava ilabl e to the Cit y by President Jo hnson i n December , 1967, to help meet cr i t ic al urban needs . The natio na l competition consisted of the design of an entire community, i nc l uding housing f or f amilies of l ow and moderate i ncome, school s, parks and shopping fac i lities - a community designed to encourage a - 2 - �harmonious social and economic mix . Five r edevelo per 's proposals were r eceived and submitted f or r eview and evaluation by a jury of five nationally reco gnized professionals experienced in housing development (the first time a professional - jury was employed to j udge improvements on urban renewal land in Atlanta). On Monday of this week, t he Mayor- announced that the Atlanta Housi ng Authority had selected the National Home s .Corporation of Lafayette, Indiana to develop the Federal. surplus l and. The National Homes propo sal contains 600 units of housing for familie s of low and moder ate income , shoppi ng f acilitie s, a town center, t wo elementary s chool sites , a middle s chool site , and a six acre park . The redeveloper's improvements are est imated to cost $8,7 million. A third signific ant act ivity during this period wa s the preparation of a Nei ghborhood Devel opment Program appl i c ation out lining the Ci t y ' s ur ban renewal activitie s to be undertaken in 1969 . The Neighborhood Development Pr ogram author i zed by t he Housing Act of 1968, is a program of urban renewal action now. The program wa s developed : (1) to permit pl anning and executio n activi t ies t o be undertaken concµr rentl y , i. e . to permi t r ehabi litation, clearance and redevelopment to be undert aken i n spec i f ic area s , even while planning i s still underway ; ( 2) to mor e quickly r espond to the critical ur ban needs of t he Cities by accel erat i ng provi si ons of publi c fa ciliti es and s ervices; and ( 3 ) to fa ci litate a more effect ive pro gramming and budgeting of urban r enewal activit i e s on an annual cash- needs ba sis , i. e . the Feder al government and the City provi ding funds annually f or ur ban r enewal activities to be c arried out in specific areas of t he Ci ty. The City ' s Nei ghborhood Devel opment Program applicati on, f i l ed with the Federal government on December 6, for the peri od J anuary 1 t hrough December 31 , 1969 includes executi on acti vities in t hree areas : Bedford-Pi ne , Georgia Tech I I, and Model Ci tie s , and planni ng activities in East Atlant a and Vine City . - 3 - The appl ication �requests a Federal grant in the amount of $24.3 million. The City's share is made up of completed non-cash grants-in-aid in the amount of $10.8 million. Looking ahead to 1969, the Atlanta Housing Authority will continue its · urban renewal activities in 8 existing projects and begin planning and execution activities in the five are a s included in the City's Neighborhood Development Program. These urban renewal activities encompass 5,700 acres of the City - a sizable task indeed. In addition, the Authority estimates that construction will be started on improvements to taling $59.7 million on urban renewal land in 1969. These improve- ments include 1,037 dwelling units, the Butler Street elementary school (which will permit the Authority t o close out Atlanta's first urban renewal project), t he stadium motel, elementar y schools in Roc kdale and Thoma sville , improvements at Geo rgia State College and Georgia Tech, and the enclosed mall shopping c enter in We st End. As we sta nd on the threshold of a new day, a new year, Atla nta shares the s ame f ate as every major City i n Americ a . pover t y? Wha t fate bef alls our Cities? How can the poor be lifted from In our affluent society , i t is unthinkable that millions of Americ ans rema i n ill-housed ; that affluent white s co ntinue fl ee i ng to the suburb s, l eaving our urban co re t o the poor 8nd the black; that spreadi ng slums and blight are l eading us not to decay but destruction, while in many cities; off i ci als remai n i ns ens itive to t he plight of the peqpl e . The bell continues to t oll . Time i s runni ng out . We will sur vi ve onl y as we succee d in re spond i ng to the de sper at e ne eds of our peopl e, in terms of providing opportunities for housing, educati on, and employment; in t erms of impro ving the qual ity of urban life; i n terms of l ift i ng t he hopes and aspi rations of the poor - 4- �and the depressed; in terms of involving people in their destiny.

M. B. Satterfield, AHA diirec'tor, wrote EOA to ask that fund. ing be delayed untii an investiga'. tion could be made into activi! ties of Legal Aid whic'h SaHeri field called .a "disruptive 1nflu, ence on tJhe public housing pro1 gram and serves only to cause

fri ction in the community." . The boaird of directors of . IDOA, on the recommendation of . member Jesse Hill, approved the $326,695 budget-$271,939 in · feder al funds . " It is 1rnap.proprlate not to move ahead," board Chairnm n Boisf.euillet Jones said. He · sa id he would "honor ,the complaint fo ,t he extent of look,ing into 1ts meirits." I Robert Dobbs, another board memher, also urged ithe request for funds, despite ,the AHA let.ter. "The housing authority ought to look at itself. H has some problems itself." Jones said he had 1received an anonymous ca.J.I several months ago about Michael Padnos, director of Legai Aid. Jones said the caUeir threa,tened Jones unless he got rid of Padnos. "'11hat's the last I heaird of it," Jones said with a l,augh. Satterfield's letter said that rthe AHA was withhoJ.ding "endorsement of this a pplication ait rthiis time, pending cl arification of certain acl!ions ,t aken by Lega,I Aid which a fifec,t the Atlanta Housing AuthorJty and the community." SaLterfield's letter saJd Padnos !had made "serious general allegations conc,erning Atlanta Hol.l'sing Aubhority po1icy and conduct of activities."

That refusaI can be documented." P.adnos'. objections generally were that the AHA operates "arbitrnrily." He said he refused ito give names of those complaiining bec,a use of ,t he lawyer-client reJ.ationship.

Encl . No . l �HOUSING RESOURCES C01\1MI1'TEE NOTES 21,032 unit s proposed did not materialize, of which 13,764 were included in the previous report of Jan. 15, 1969, and 7,268 3dd itional units are listed - in this report, as Lost. (The majority of these losses was due to disapprovals of sites, a large p ortion of which were denials of zoning petitions.) In view of difficulties encountered in zoning and getting other approvals on sites proposed for large multi-family development s, it is apparent that the Low-income Housing Program will have to lean heavily on Developers and Builders providing a substantial portion of the requirement on small scattered sites by both Conventional and Federal assisted financing. Also Public Housing in s mall projec t s, to include small developments on scattered si.tes is strongly · advocated, for future development . 1. Proposed locations for low-income housing are coordinated through the Plan. Dept. for adequacy of Community Facilities, existing or proposed. Proposals are also reviewed . periodically with the School Department for adequacy of school facilities. The Travelers Ins urance Company financed 75 new single family low-cost houses in the Thoma sville Urban Renewal project area u n der the Flffi 221 d(2) insured mortgage program. Equitable made $1,000,000 available to Atlanta Mor tgage Brokerage Co. for fin ancin g low-cost homes at favorable rates. Interest is still increasing in development of home o wn ership housing. No proposal ha d yet been made for construction of units (even efficiency or 1 bedroom) to rent or sell for as low as $50 per month, although the Lond on Towne Houses, a 221 d(3) co-op devel opment now under construction, is approaching this, with its one bedr oom unit selling at $69 per month. The City's greatest heed is in the $30-$50 per month rental-purchase range, which appear s to hav e little chance of accomplishment, without substartial governmenta l subsidy. P re fab di stributors and conventional builders have interesting p otential houses to offer but, because of fear of local Codes diff iculties, are currently erecting very few single-f am ily houses in Atlanta to sell in the $10,000-$15,000 range for wh ich the re is a strong d e ma nd and market. Perhaps the greatest difficulty is availability of suit ably priced land within the City Lim its. Economics for this price-range sales housing requires land which will cost the developer not more than $1,500 per unit. A 5,000 sq o ft o lot is considered amp le for this type house which should reduce land costs by 33 1/3%; most houses in th is price r ange are cuirently being erected in Atlanta on R-5 lots having a minimum size of 7,500 sq. ft. I ~ perial Homes of Griff in, Ga., manufacturers of pre-cut sectionalized frame houses, has developed a 24'x36', 3 bedroom & bath hous e desig ned to sell , to the occupa nt for $8,000 to go on his land; and is developing a 4 bedroom & bath house to sell sim il arly f or about $ 9,000. National Homes of Lafayatte, Ind . is erecting 200 units of pre-built, 4 bedroom, bath and½ u n its in Chicago and is doing the site planning and landscaping. This firm wa s recently successful bidder, throu gh design compet ition, for construction of 600 medium and low-income housing units on the Honor Farm #1 site. The nonprofit Greater At lanta Housing Development Corporation is now in business. The CACUR's nonprofit corporation to rehabilitat e existing unit s under 221 (h) has completed its first group o f 5 houses in Lindwood Park. Vanguar d Housing Corp. h 3 s obtained FHA commitment for r eha bilitation of 6 units under 221 (h) •· Mor ris Brown College is another such sponsor .

ju- ·n's The Atlanta Housi ng Resources Cormnittee voted Thursday to urge the Community Chest of Metropolitan Atlanta Inc. to provide funds for emergency temporary housing for displaced per sons. And the committee, headed by architect Cecil Al exander and including citizens appointed by the mayor, decided to explore the problem itself on a priority basis. The Community Chest's executive committee mee ts Friday to act on reques ts of member agencies. HRC members noted that the Salva ti9n Army provides emergency housing for men and women, but not families. The housing group expressed specific concern for the some 300 families that are to be dis~ placed from housing owned by the J; P. Stevens & Co. Inc. pl ant, which has closed down. Various groups such as the Atl anta Real Estate Board, the Atlanta Housing Author ity and the Community Relations Commission have been aPiproached by Economic Opportunity Atlanta in order to find assistance, but so far in vain. The plant is on Marietta Str eet, near Ashby Stree t and the famili es 3re to be d.i.splaced late this summer. The HRC also voted to invite all the candidates for mayor to a fu ture meeting to give views on provic'.>!ing hcusing for the low-income fam ilies . . Col. Malcolm J ones, HRC director, reported that 21,103 low and mcderate units have been compl eted, have been put j total was 18,259 units. under construction or have been I The program continues to run planned since the mayor in 1966 ahead in all categories except announced his goal of 16,800 public housing, which is · 5,011 units by 1971.

C ITY OF .ATLANT.A July 25, 1969 CITY HALL ATLANTA, GA. 30303 Tel. 522 -4463 Area Code 404 IVAN ALLEN, JR ., MAYOR R. EARL LANDERS , Administrative Assi stant MRS. ANN M. MOSES, Executive Secretary DAN E. SWEAT, JR ., Director of Governmental Liaison The Honorable George Romney Secretary of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Secretary: In November, 1966, w e began in Atlanta a concentrated effort to stimulate the d e velopment of 16, 8 00 units of low and mod e rate income housing to provide safe and sanitary shelter for thousands of less fortunate citizens. This effort, call e d "The M a yor's H o using R e source s Pro g ram was support e d by the U. S. D e partme nt of Housin g and Urban D evelopment, private bank s, de v e lop e rs, churches , civic g roups and individual citizens at all l e vels. This program has produced i:esults. As of thi s dat e , 21, 013 of the five y e ar g o a l of 16, 800 un its have b ee n compl e ted, ar e under construction, or in plannin g . The most rec e nt status r e port 1s attached for your information. Within the n ext few week s, th e s in gl e mo s t si gn ifican t deve lopme nt g e nerated by o ur pro g rams w ill b e plac e d u n cl e r con s truction. It is the East L ake Me a d ow s turnke y p :;:oj ec t, w hich is th e lar ges t turnkey public hou s i ng d eve lopment i n A me rica with compr e h ens i ve community faciliti e s. B e cau se of t he s i gnifican c e of this u nde rt a kin g a nd b ec au se it e mbodi e s so many of th e asp e ct s of community housin g action which you so magnific entl y support, all of us in A tl anta - City Hall, th e buil ders , o ur housing o fficia l s, and citi ze n s in gene r a l - fee l that w e w a nt t o s h are t h e begi nn ing of thi s p roject w ith you . �Secretary Romney Page Two July 25, 1969 _., .. I have been asked to is sue you an official invitation from all of us to inaugurate construction of this 1nost im.portant housing development for poor people. If your schedule will pennit you to come to Atlanta in the next few weeks after August 21, we shall schedule the ceremonies for your convenience. It would also give us the opportunity to show you some of the operational components of Atlanta's Model Cities program. Highlights in the development of the East Lake Meadows Project will give you some idea of its importance not only in relation to the solution of urban problems of Atlanta but perhaps in other cities. The land on which this project is located was once a golf course owned by prominent conservative businessmen in Atlanta. They sold it to the March Company, a private development company, and supported difficult rezoning in an area which had hitherto had no public housing. City officials, local Housing Authority, and the Regional Housing Authority, together with local business people, civic groups, communications media, were all involved. The project includes 800 living units, 150 for elderly, shopping center, community and health facilities, city park, recreation areas and the dedic a tiorl of school sit e s. A ~I"'!. example of t.:orrnn1..m ity support involves the four leading banks in Atlanta who formed a consortium to finance the interim construction costs in an effort to assist in the solution of Atlanta's housing problems for its low-income citizens. This development repres e nts the highest type of cooper a tion among city, business, government interagency pl a nning and implementation - a model community effort. Your presence her e on this occasion, therefore, would serve to give strength to the solution of the many difficult problems we still face in Atlanta and to spotlight one of the landmark public housing developments in America. Those of us who are faced w ith the community level problems of leadership are thankful th a t you are in the crucial position at HUD. Sincerely yours, Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor IAJr:fy cc: Mr. E dwa rd B axt er �
