Also 24,858 units have been reported by the Housing Code Division as repairec|
(rehabilitated). However, those figures include units found in compliance on original inspection. It is estimated that 75% of
this figure, or 18,644 substandard units have been brought into compliance through actual rehabilitation. 485 units have been reha-
bilitated by H. A. in the West End U. R. area: 35 in Bedford-Pine; and 40 in Model Cities. These rehabilitated units do not
increase the number of housing units available, but do increase the supply of standard units.

NOTES
A.There are 3,572 units known to be Being Considered, plus several sites on which the number of units has not been
set( there are approximately 1000 units in this category). 21,979 units Did Not Materialize, of which 21,032 were
included in the previous Summary of May 15, 1969, and 947 additional units are listed in this report as Lost.
(The majority of these losses were due to diSapprovals of sites, a large portion of which were denials of
zoning petitions .).1,246 units originally listed have been dropped from totals in this report, because of too high rentals.
B.In view of the difficulties encountered in zoning and getting other approvals on sites proposed for large multi-
family developments, it is apparent that the Low-Income Housing Program will have to lean heavily on Developers
and Builders providing a substantial portion of the requirements on small scattered sites by both Conventional
and Federal assisted financing. Also Public Housing in small projects, to include small developments on scattered
sites is strongly advocated, for future development.
C.No proposal has yet been made for the construction of units(even efficiencies) to rent or sell for as low as $50
per mo. although the London Towne Houses, a 221(d) 3 Co-op development now approaching completion, is near this
with its one bedroom unit selling at 69 dollars a mo. The City's greatest need is the $30-$50 per Mo. rental-
purchase range, which appears to have little chance of accomplishment, without substantial government subsidy.
~~
D.Prefab distributors and conventional builders have interesting potential houses to offer but, because of fear of local Codes
difficulties, are currently erecting very few single-family houses in Atlanta to sell in the $10,000-$15,000 range for which
there is a strong demand and market. Perhaps the greatest difficulty is availability of suitably priced land within the City
Limits. 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. ft. lot is considered ample for this type house which should reduce land costs by 33 1/3%; most houses in
this price range are currently being erected in Atlanta on R-5 lots having a minimum size of 7,500 sq. ft.
E.The nonprofit Greater Atlanta Housing Development Corporation is now in business. The CACUR's nonprofit corporation to
rehabilitate existing units under 221 (h) has completed its first group of 5 houses in Lindwood Park. Vanguard Housing Corp.
has obtained FHA commitment for rehabilitation of 6 units under 221 (h).
