Encl . No. 1 �m..i y J.o, J.::10::, HOUSING RESOURCES C011MITTEE NOTES 21,032 uni~s proposed did not materialize, of which 13,764 were included in the previous report of Jan. 15, 1969, and 7,268 ad ditional 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 vie w of difficulties encountered in zoning and getting other approvals on sites proposed for large multi-fa mi ly developments, it is apparent that the Low-income Housing Program will have to lean heavily on Developers and Builders providing a substa nt ial porti on of the requirement on small scattered sites by both Conventional and Federal assisted financing. Also Public Housing in s mall projects, to include small developments on scattered si.tes is strongly · advocated, for future development. 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. ,. T h e Travelers Insurance Company financed 75 new single family low-cost houses in the Thomasville Urban Renewal project area u n der the Fl~ 221 d(2) insured mortgage program. Equitable made $1,000,000 available to Atlanta Mor t gage Brokerage Co. for f inancing low-cost home s at favorable rates. Interest is still increasing in development of home o wn ership housing. No proposal had yet been made for construction of units (even efficiency or 1 bedroom) to rent or seil for as low as $50 per mo nth, although the London Towne Houses, a 221 d(3) co-op development now under construction, is approaching this, with its one b e d room uni t selling at $69 per month. The City's greatest nee d is in the $30-$50 per month rental-purchase range, which a p p ears to have little chance of accomplishment, without substartial governmental subsidy. P ef3b d istribut ors and conventional builders have interesting potential houses to offer but, because of fear o f local Codes diff icul t ies, ar e currently erecting very few sin gle-f am ily houses in Atlanta to sell in the $10,000-$15,000 range for which t h e re is a strong demand and market. Perhaps the greatest difficulty is availability of suitably priced land within the City Li mi t s. Econ omics for this price-range sales hous in g requires l.and which will cost the developer not more than $1,500 per unit. A 5 , 0 0 0 sqo f t. · lot is considered ample for this t ype h6use which should reduce land costs by 33 1 /3%; most houses in t h is pr ice range are currently being erected in Atlanta on R-5 lots having a minimum size of 7,500 sq. ft. I mperial Homes of Griff in, Ga., manufacturers of pre-cut sectiona lized frame houses, has developed a 24'x36', 3 bedroom & bath ho use design e d to sell , t o the occupa nt for $8,000 to go on his land; and is developing a 4 bedroom & bath house to sell s im il a rly f or about $ 9,000. National Homes of Lafayatte, Ind. is erecting 200 units of pre-built, 4 bedroom, bath and½ un i t s in Ch icago a nd i s do ing the site planning and landscaping. This firm was recently successful bidder, through design c ompetiti on, for construction of 600 medium and low-income housing units on the Honor Farm #1 site. Th e n o npr o f it Greater Atla nta Housing Development Corporation is now in business. The CACUR's nonprofit corporation to r ehabilit a t e e xist ing unit s under 221 (h) ha s completed its first group of 5 houses in Lindwood Park. Vanguard Housing Corp. ha s obt a ined FHA comm it ment for rehabilitation of 6 units under 221 (h) •· Morris Brown College is another such sponsor.
