Mr. Bra emas explained the relocation report and the anticipation
of the use of rent subsidy funds when they become available. The
report substantiates adequate housing to relocate necessary families.
The FHA 221(d)3 program will provide approximately 500 additional
dwelling units, to be built by the Layman LaSalle Park Homes, Inc.,
a non -p ofit corporation. Additional data from the Local Housing
Authori y to accept families from the Project area are necessary.
Mr. Mor is raised the question of what the alternative plan would
be for LaSalle Park should the rent supplement progtam fail to
pass le illation. The answer was that public housing units can
accommodate the more needy and large families except for one family
requiri g a 5 bedroom unit. It was suggested that other inquiries
and ans ers be reduced to writing to avoid misunderstanding. The
Redevel pment Commission will work for the best interest of the
whole c mmunity.
Mr. Mor is repeated the points covered in the Urban League letter
of Octo er 29, 1965, which was read by the Staff to the Commission,
and other items relating to intergroup relations and sub- committee
on mino ity housing group problems. It was reported that the Staff
will be arranging for a meeting with the Chicago Intergroup Relations
Officer and that the Sub - Committee on Minority Group Housing Problems
has bee appointed and an organizational meeting is being programed.
Mrs. Br die explained the method used to keep LaSalle Park residents

one time when the Tribune failed to print the notice. The Commission
was informed also by Mrs. Brodie that another LaSalle Park meeting
is set lor November 15, 1965, at Layman Chapel on Kenmore Street, at
7:30 p. m.
