Public Housing Units
For Negroes Approved

of the jefferson School on West
street.
The three locations were Sc
lected by the Planning Commits
sion and were approved by the
City Council after a series of
heated public hearings. The
leading directors were represen-
tatives of the Durant Civic AS
ISOLATION, the city's major Negro
organization.
Limited Choice Seen
They complained that the
designated sites include a num-
Der Of Negro-owned or Negro
occupied homes which will be
leveled and that the occupants
face a limited choice of housing
resources.
OF the 131 families who live
on the three sites, A are ineli-
gible for public housing. Twenty
families, eight of whom must
seek quarters outside public
housing. reside on the Wythe
street property.
The association particularly
objected to the Wythe street
project because Of the avail
ability there Of vacant land for
private Negro housing. "This is
one place open to Negroes for
building and they want to put
public housing on it," one as
ISOLATION member said.
Recent Report Criticized
In a letter to Mayor Frank
E. Mann and the City Council
yesterday. the Durant group
also criticized a recent report
by City Manager Albert M.
Hair, jr.
A. Melvin Miller, association
president, said that he found

ments that Alexandria cannot
solve the housing problems OF

Area and that the Alexandria
situation is due more to the

factors.
While the city has a large
number of apartment buildings,
none Is open to Negroes, Mr..
Miller said.

A program to build 225 high
ly disputed public housing units
in Alexandria. Va, has beer
approved by the Public Hous-
ing Administration, PHA Com
missioner Marie c. MCGUIRE
said today.
The units are designed to
house Negroes who will be dis
placed under urban renewal
projects and other improvement
programs.
Under a two-part contract
between the PHA and the Alex
andria Redevelopment and
Housing Authority. a Federal
loan up to 90 per cent OF the
development cost, or $3,576, 805,
will be granted for the con-
struction and an annual Fed
eral contribution will be pro-
vided to help maintain the
units.
The estimated total develop
ment cost is $3,974,22s. The
loan will be repaid with inter-
est by the Housing Authority
with proceeds from the sale Of
short-term notes to private in
vestors. John Y. Kerr, executive
director of the Housing Author
ity, said.
Three Sites
The program covers construc-
ton at three sites. but only one
part - a 90-unit project at
Madison and Wythe streets -
is planned for the immediate
future. After the 80 units are
up, we'll review our resources
before building any more" Mr..
Kerr said.
The process of acquiring the
property will begin within six
weeks and construction should
get underway next spring with
completion about a year later,
Mr.. Kerr said. The estimated
cost, including land and inter-
est on the loan, is $1,746.000
he said.
The two projects to be held
in allegiance, cover a two-block
