Honorable §. Fletcher Thompson

Dear Mr, Thompson:
This is to acknowledge your letter dated February 23 requesting
information concerning the Summary of LoweRent Housing forwarded
you earlier this month. The 800 units authorized for leasing by
the Atlanta Housing Authority will be located wherever such housing
is available throughout the Atlanta area. Currently, the Atlanta
Housing Authority hes leased 227 units for low-rent housing purposes
and 17 of these units are located within the Fifth Congressional
District. The Atlanta Housing Authority also is negotiating for
additional leases and some of these will be within the Fifth
Congressional District.
In College Park, only one unit of low-rent housing is being cancelled,
The College Park Housing Authority was given authorization to construct
174 units of lowerent housing and 173 of these units have been completed
and are occupied, However, during construction it wes found that an
outcropping of rock extended over the site where one unit was proposed.
Therefore, going ahead with construction of this unit would have been
extremely costly, and it was decided to cancel this one unit.
Should we be able to assist you further, please let me know.
Sincerely yours,
Cale Chien 7
Regional Administrator
