To: Selected Mayors From: Patrick Healy v Subject: HUD regional meetings on Turnkey public housing The D2partment of Housing and Urban D2ve lopment has· asked the National League of Ci ties JP coope ra te in a series of re gional meetings to explain the 11 Turnkey11 method of public housing. We are writing mayors in each of .HlJD' s six regions to request that they attend the meeting in their area as NLC-1 s representative and report back to us. A statement to our total membership will be prepared from the reports we receive. Would you please assist us by attending the mee ting in your area (see specific meeting on attached list) or designate a member of your staff~ to attend? In addition to NLC representatives, invi tations to these re gional me etings have been extended to members of the Ameri can Institute of Architects, Mortgage Bankers Association, National Association of Home Builders, American General Contractors, and National Association of Housing and Redevelopment Officials. As you knov,, HUD Secretary Weaver announced last vreek that efforts would be made to doublev°'.the annual producti on of public housing units . The turnlcey method is seen as t he primary means of accomplishing this goal, because a project can be completed in approximately half the time needed for conventional public housing projects. HUD has asked all local housing authorities t o evaluate proposed public housing pro jec ts and determine whi ch projects could get into construction within nine months. These projects wi ll then be given a priority. Vie feel NLC members will want to be fully aware of developments in the use of turnkey public housing. I hope you or your representative will be able to attend the meeting in your region on behalf of the National League of Cities. Attachment 1/s~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - -:,Ml idtnt MAYO?.
