Dear Members: Executive Group, HouSng Resources Committee,
Housing Coordinating Group (and Guests)

In view of the Workshop cn Housing being held by NAHRO on November
6-8 at the Marriott in Atlanta, the November meeting of the Executive
Group, HRC and the Low-income Housing Coordinating Group, regularly
scheduled for November 7, will be postponed,

The November meeting will be held at 10:00 a.m. Tuesday, November
12, in Committee Room No. 2, Second Floor, City Hall.

This meeting will feature a presentation by the Model Cities Staff
to the Model Cities Executive Board of the proposed plans for development
for the Model Cities area, This is very timely and should be interesting
and stimulating, especially in view of the new approach to Urban Renewal
known as the "Neighborhood Development Program" recently authorized by
the Housing Act of 1968. This requires planning and execution to be
done simultaneously by increments, approved on a yearly basis. It is
expected that Model Cities will get into the execution phase under this
new concept by January 1, 1969.

In addition to Model Cities, we expect to have a very interesting
film, "Cora Street", to show you. This film was made by ACTION Housing,
Inc, of Pittsburgh. The film features typical slum conditions through-
out the nation and shows what is being done in certain cities to improve
and correct the situation,

Although not yet definite, we propose to hold the 1968 Annual Meeting
of the HRC (full Committee Membership) on Thursday, December 5, at 11:00
a.m, in Committee Room No, 2, Second Floor, City Hall. Please circle
the date on your calendar.

We expect to have available for the Annual Meeting in December a run
down on the first two years’ activities and accomplishments of the Housing
Resources Committee and to present for your consideration some proposals
for future operation of the Committee.
