NOTES
12,33S units proposed did not materialize, of which 11,022 were shown in the previous report of May 15, 1968 and 1,317 additional ©
units are listed in this report, as Lost. (The majority of these losses were due to disapprovals of sites and proposed
rezoning.) ,
Proposed locations for low-cost housing are coordinated through the Planning Dept., for adequacy of Community Facilities,
existing or proposed. Proposals are also reviewed periodically with the School Department for adequacy of school facilities.
An engineering firm from Savannah, McNamara & Associates, Consulting Engineers, has made presentations in Atlanta of a
"patent; applied for" low-cost housing method of construction with flexible design, which is claimed can be constructed
quickly on site, employing mostly untrained labor and at a savings of 10%-15% under conventional construction. This firm
established connections with a reputable construction firm in Atlanta and a local architect. This team is anxious to
acquire a 10 acre tract in the Model Cities are ‘to construct an experimental Housing project)
The Travelers Insurance Company has financed 70 or more new single family low-cost houses in the Thomasville Urban Renewal
project area under the FHA 221 D (2) insured mortgage program. Equitable has made $1,000,000 available to Atlanta Mortgage
Brokerage Company for financing low-cost homes at favorable rates, Interest is increasing in development of this type housing.
In view of difficulties encountered in zoning and getting other approvals on sites proposed for large multi-family develop-
ments, 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, with or without Federal assistance.
No proposal had 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 London Towne Housesi; a 221 d (3) co-op development now under construction, is approaching this close, with
its one bedroom unit selling at $69 per month. The City's greatest need is in the $30-$50 per month rental-purchase range.
Richard I,. Fullerton Associates proposed a fibre glass "manufactured" patented process, 3 bedroom and bath house (900 sq. ft.
& car port) with w-to-w carpeting and air conditioning, which he claims can sell for $9,000-$9,500, including land estimated to
cost $1,500. :
very few
Prefab distributors and conventional builders have interesting potential houses to offer but, because of fear of local Codes
difficulties, are producing/single-family houses in Atlanta to sell in the $10,000-$12,500 range for which there is a strong
demam 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 not cost the developer more than $1,500 per unit, (a 5,000 sq.
ft. lot is considered ample for this type house). y
The non-profit Housing Development Corp. of Metropolitan Atlanta is now in business. CACUR recently formed a non-profit
corporation to rehabilitate existing units under 221 (h). Morris Brown College is another such sponsor. North West Community
Forum has also filed applications for4 projects under 221 (h).
