Extractions: Decatur, Georgia Affordable single-family homes are the first new development in Lynwood Park in many years. Lynwood Park is a historically African-American community northeast of Atlanta, with origins dating back to the Civil War. When the community was first developed, large tracts of land within this more than 180-acre area were deeded to African Americans. Over the years, most of those tracts were subdivided into smaller parcels. The community is now composed of approximately 494 individual lots, ranging from less than one-tenth of an acre to more than 3 1/2 acres. The average lot is about one-third acre. Most Lynwood Park households are made up of long-term residents with low or moderate incomes. Little investment had been made in the community in recent years, and there had been a decline in homeownershipmany properties were owned by absentee landlords. No new housing had been developed in Lynwood Park in many years, and there were few opportunities for households wishing to move into the area. By the late 1990s, significant upscale development had taken place in areas immediately adjacent to Lynwood Park. New homes in these areas sold for $300,000 to $750,000. The community began to experience development pressure as long-term residents were urged to sell their homes to permit new development of their lots. Vacant properties were targeted for acquisition, with the prospect of future upscale development.

Extractions: Assisting community partnerships to implement energy-efficient technologies in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings is a primary focus of our efforts. This assistance is provided mainly through involvement in programs of the U.S. Department of Energy like Rebuild America and Partnerships for Affordable Housing Links to brief summaries of some of these partnerships, as well as summaries of other project activities are provided below. Partnerships Activities Atlanta Housing Authority The Building Design and Performance Program helped establish a partnership between the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the Atlanta Housing Authority (AHA). The signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between DOE and AHA on December 12, 1995, signified the first partnership agreement formed under DOE's Partnerships for Affordable Housing Program. The primary objective of the Atlanta partnership is to reduce utility costs by 30% in half of AHA's public housing units by the year 2000. AHA paid utility bills in 1994 totaling nearly $19 million to provide electricity, natural gas, water, and waste water services to residents occupying about 14,750 units of public housing. AHA is actively pursuing energy savings performance contracts (ESPCs) as one means of addressing energy and water deficiencies in their housing units. AHA has established an ESPC to perform capital improvements to their high-rise apartment buildings. The selected contractor has audited the buildings and documented their findings. They are now in the process of writing a proposal for specific capital improvements. AHA is putting into place two additional ESPCs focusing on their townhouse developments and investigating the use of a DOE Performance Contract to purchase energy efficient refrigerators. AHA received training on ESPCs from a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development workshop organized by the Building Design and Performance Program and also used the

Extractions: Many parts of the rural South have experienced a rapid increase in Hispanic residents since the mid-1990s, drawn by the job vacancies in manufacturing and services. Most experts agree these immigrants will remain in the South. Federal policy may determine their status, but state and local policy determines how they adapt. The University of Georgia Housing and Demographics Research Center (UGA/HDRC) Latino Home Ownership Partnership believes home ownership is one of the best ways to help Latino families become stable and contributing members of the community. It accomplishes this through dynamic public-private partnerships. A local partnership in Ellijay/Gilmer County formed to help the Latino employees navigate the process of purchasing a home. Many of the employees cannot speak English, are illiterate in Spanish and have no credit history. The partnership provides a conduit between Latino families, funding sources, and developers by providing outreach, counseling and homebuyer education, and packaging loan applications. The partnership includes Gold Kist Inc., UGA/HDRC, the University of Georgia, Gilmer County Extension, Gilmer County Family Connection, United Community Bank, the United States Department of Agriculture/Rural Development (USDA/RD), and the Georgia Department of Community Affairs.
