Subject: HUD regional meetings on Turnkey public housing
The Department of Housing and Urban Development has asked the National
League of Cities bo cooperate in @ series of regional meetings to ex-
plain the "Turnkey" method of public housing, We are writing mayors in
each of HUD's six regions to request that they attend the meeting in
their area as NLC's representative and report back to us. A statement
to our total membership will be prepared from the reports we receive.
Would you please assist us by attending the meeting in your area (see
specific meeting on attached list) or designate a member of your staff
to attend?
In addition to NLC representatives, invitations to these regional meet-
ings have been extended to members of the American Institute of Archi-
tects, Morigage Bankers Association, National Association of Home
Builders, American General Contractors, and National Association of
Housing and Redevelopment Officials.
As you know, HUD Secretary Weaver announced last week that efforts
would be made to double“the annual production of public housing units,
The turnkey method is seen as the primary means of accomplishing ‘this
goal, because a project can be completed in approximately half the time
needed for conventional public housing projects. HUD has asked all
local housing authorities to evaluate proposed public housing projects
and determine which projects could get into construction within nine
months. These projects will then be given a priority. We feel NLC
mImembers will want to be fully aware of developments in the use of
turnkey public housing,
I hope you or your representative will be able to attend the meeting
in your region on behalf of the National League of Cities.
