INTER-OFFICE CORRESPONDENCE
TOs Mr. C, O. Emmerich DATE: February 15, 1967
FROM: William W. Allison
SUBJECT: EOA Housing Program
Presently, we are involved in a limited Housing Program, This
is represented by a Housing Assistance Program where information
and guidance especially to relocatees is provided and housing
loans for the cost of relocation,
In view of our active participation in the Model Cities Program,
EOA could develop a more Comprehensive Housing Program.
The components of the program could include:
a. Fair Housing Centers for the development of open
housing through reliable information, guidance and
counseling.
b. Housing Development Corporations by providing seed
money for both profit and non-profit making groups
in the development of adequate, moderately priced
housing. Also cooperative housing ventures could
be assisted.
c. Strengthen Tenant Association in public housing
through educational and informational programs
either in housing projects themselves or Neigh-
borhood Centers.
d, Strengthen Community Involvement in physical
planning processes through a series of reports
by city planners in all neighborhood centers,
Organize local planning committees or include
physical planning as responsibility of the center
advisory committees,
Mr. C. O, Emmerich

e. Organize Neighborhood Improvement Clubs for the
improvement and maintenance of neighborhood
appearance, Awards or some form of recognition
could be incentive. Special programs could be
designed to highlight economical ways of home
up keep.
Such a comprehensive endeavor by ZOA could possibly be funded
by OEO and/or Model Cities.
can we discuss this?
