Final LBJ Days Mark Housing Grants and Proposals
A flurry of housing and urban problem actions marked the end of the Johnson era and start of the 91st Congress. HUD announced seven Model Cities operating grants and funds for three new programs, with Seattle $5.2 million leading a list that includes Atlanta, Huntsville, Denver, Waco, and Boston among others. A rural planning grant of $20,000 was awarded in Missouri, and a $17,600 interest-free seed loan went to Town View Improvement Corp. in Duluth. Cleveland received $201,300 for a water system study using systems engineering. Congress began weighing reports and bills, including relocation assistance, revenue sharing, urban development bank concepts, and proposals from Johnson aides for urban housing initiatives.
