Innovative Housing
The Nation’s Capital, like many other urban communities, has no more pressing issue demanding serious attention than the shortage of appropriate, decent, safe, and sanitary housing in good neighborhoods for the low-income and poorly housed residents of the city.
As the official agency authorized to establish and maintain a housing program for families and individuals of low income, the National Capital Housing Authority is continuously exerting efforts to relieve the critical housing shortage. The Authority has declared war on substandard housing and is determined to seek out those who need good housing in order to overcome the shadow of the slum.
However, experience has demonstrated that it will be difficult if not impossible for the Housing Authority to accomplish the goal of eliminating shuns and providing adequate standard housing for the disadvantaged segment of the population in Washington, D.C., without the support and help of the private sector as well as other members of the public sector.
The National Capital Housing Authority constantly searches for new methods of providing housing for the disadvantaged. Having been one of the pioneers of the “Turnkey Method,” the Housing Authority is continuing to seek addi
tional innovations to produce an ample supply of housing units.
The Housing Authority recently has become an active partner with members of the private sector in an effort to develop housing which will provide a social, economic, and cultural fusion in a single development.
The Authority is advancing the concept of planning public housing as an integral part of a neighborhood. This calls for a change in design in order to build housing that will be indistinguishable from other units in the community.
In addition, the Housing Authority is actively involved in the development of a “city” within a city. This is the development of the Fort Lincoln Renewal Area which will eventually have a total of 6,000 housing units for families and individuals of all income levels.
It is generally believed that such a mixture of housing will make all residents fee] that they belong to the neighborhood, and are entitled to the rights and privileges, as well as the duties, of all other members of the community.
To date, the Housing Authority has received the support and cooperation of many agencies and organizations in advancing these relatively new concepts. With the continued assistance of others, the Housing Authority hopes to realize its goal in the not too distant future.

Organization and Personnel
The Authority
By virtue of Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1967, the Commissioner of the District of Columbia succeeded to membership on the Board of the National Capital Housing Authority. This membership was formerly held by the President of the Board of Commissioners. The Reorganization Plan further authorized the D.C. Commissioner to delegate such function to the Assistant to the Commissioner. On November 9, 1967, Commissioner Walter E. Washington so designated Mr. Thomas W. Fletcher to be a member of the National Capital Housing Authority’s Board. At the November 22 meeting of the Board, Mr. Fletcher was elected Chairman, and Mr. Neville Miller was reelected Vice-Chairman.
One of Mr. Fletcher’s first official acts on assuming the Chairmanship was to recommend that a letter of appreciation and plaque be presented to his immediate predecessor, Mr. Walter N. Tob-riner, former President of the D.C. Board of Commissioners, and a member of the National Capital Housing Authority from July 1957 to September 1967—its Chairman from March 1961 until his departure.
On Marclr 13, 1968, by Executive Order No. 11401, the President designated the Commissioner of the District of Columbia as the Authority to carry out the provisions of the District of Columbia Alley Dwelling Act. Such Authority shall be deemed a continuation of the Authority heretofore designated under Executive Order No. 6868 of October 4, 1934, as amended. The Executive order stated that in carrying out his functions as such Authority, the Commissioner shall be known as the “National Capital Housing Authority”. The Executive order further provided that the Assistant to the Commissioner of the District of Columbia shall, to the extent the Commissioner may direct, act for him in carrying out the functions of the Authority, and, during the absence or disability of the Commissioner or in the event of a vacancy in the office of Commissioner, the Assistant to the Commissioner shall act as the Authority.
Pursuant to the Executive order, Walter E. Washington, Commissioner of the District of Columbia on March 13,1968, issued NCHA Order No. 1. The latter Order provided that:
1. The By-Laws of the National Capital Housing Authority, to the extent not inconsistent with the Executive Order No. 11401 of March 13,1968, and NCHA Order No. 1, shall remain in full force and effect until modified or amended by the Authority.
2. All official actions of the National Capital Housing Authority heretofore authorized, taken, or adopted, whether by resolution or otherwise, to the extent not expressly modified by Executive Order No. 11401 or by NCHA Order No. 1, be in all respects ratified, confirmed and continued in effect.
3. The Assistant to the Commissioner of the District of Columbia was designated to act for the Commissioner of the District of Columbia in carrying out the functions of the Authority and shall be known as the National Capital Housing Authority.
Appreciation for the valuable and dedicated service rendered by the ex-Board members was expressed by Mr. Fletcher upon his assumption of the Authority function in March 1968. These members listed in the order of length of service were:
Chairman, D.C. Redevelopment Land Agency : Mr. Neville Miller, on the Board since October 1960, and Vice-Chairman since January 1964;
Director, National Capital Planning Commission : Mr. Charles H. Conrad, on the Board since December 1965;
Chairman, Public Service Commission, D.C.: Mr. George Avery, on the Board since November 1966;
Director, Department of Public Welfare, D.C.: Miss Winifred G. Thompson, on the Board since January 1967; and
President, D.C. Board of Education: Reverend Everett A. Hewlett, on the Board since July 1967.

Personnel
Pursuant to the President’s recommendations, the Authority continued its participation in youth opportunity programs by hiring full time summer aides and part-time student aides for a variety of assignments. The Authority also utilized Neighborhood Youth Corps workers at various housing property locations.
The actual youth employment reached substantial proportions but did not fulfill the anticipated goal. Summer aides for NCHA classified positions under general schedule (GS) from competitive civil service lists were the highest in number (5) at the end of August. At the end of July, NCHA had a peak number of (55) summer aides, children of Authority tenant families, in “excepted” positions with an hourly pay rate of $1.40. In addition, Neighborhood Youth Corps workers at the same pay level (highest number was 713 at the end of August) were assigned to NCHA properties from the community by the United Planning Organization.
Part-time student aides were hired by NCHA from families residing in the Authority’s properties. These students were paid $1.40 per hour (changed to $1.60 per hour rate 1-28-68) with the peak number of 144 being employed at the end of January. Plans for hiring summer aides for the 1968 season were curtailed by lack of funds.
During the report period NCHA also acquired special approval from the U.S. Civil Service Commission to recruit NCHA tenants for employment through the competitive civil service system. Discussions with Commission representatives on NCHA proposals were conducted over an extended period and in March a proposal was approved by the Commission to recruit tenants for entrance level positions through designated civil service registers on a competitive basis among interested applicants from each housing area location. Four
teen full-time employees were hired by NCHA in this manner before the end of the fiscal year.
Major Staff Additions
Mr. Lester Morton, formerly with the Kate Maremont Foundation in Chicago, Hl., joined the NCHA staff as Deputy Executive Director on September 18, 1967.
Mr. Francis A. Hayman, Jr., was sworn in as General Counsel on February 26, 1968. Mr. Hayman formerly served with the D.C. Redevelopment Land Agency.
Changes in Employment Activities
The comparative statistics shown below reflect a slight decrease in end of year employment between 1967 (658) and 1968 (653). However, the employment activity was unusually high during the report period. There were 502 employment accessions and 507 employment separations during the year with a peak employment of 803. A combination of factors, including management operation of newly acquired housing projects, additional requirements for maintenance work, community and social service activities and the youth opportunity programs contributed to the expansion of the Authority’s staff during the period of this report. Comparative statistics for the last 2 fiscal years are shown below:

The Development Program
A new dimension being employed by the Authority in its efforts to provide more public housing for its applicants is the increased involvement of tenants, neighborhood councils, and other groups in the development process. For example at Capitol View Plaza, the Neighborhood Council made the initial contact with the Housing Authority and presented a proposal as well as a plan for additional housing in the area. At the Knox Hill Dwellings, the tenants selected the Architect and they are participating in the review of the preliminary plans for the proposed rebuilding of the Knox Hill site. These changes have taken place through the increased desire on the part of low-income citizens to participate with the Authority and District Agencies in planning residential, community, and recreational facilities for the low-income citizens of Washington.
During the fiscal year the “Turnkey” method for providing units supplanted the conventional method of constructing new facilities for the Authority. Under the old conventional method, the Housing Authority acquired sites, proposed structures, advertised for bidders, accepted the lowest bid, and supervised the construction. With the “Turnkey” method, the Housing Authority invites a land-holding private developer to build a project, fixes a price and buys the housing development when construction has been completed. In fiscal 1968 the second “turnkey” construction contract in the history of the Authority was executed for SURSUM CORDA—Claridge Towers was the first. SURSUM CORDA will provide 28 large family units in the Northwest Urban Renewal Area. This housing is scheduled for completion in the summer of 1969 and will be built together with a moderate income private, nonprofit development. In addition to providing public housing that will be indistinguishable from other housing in the neighborhood, the “Turnkey” process of SURSUM CORDA will make it possible to implement the concept of social and economic integration in the leasing of units financed under the 221(d)(3) program.
The “Turnkey” method has also been used in the acquisition of properties. Two buildings, both less than 5 years old, were acquired through the "Turnkey" process. These buildings, purchased
Judiciary House
at a cost of several thousand dollars less per unit than it would have cost the Authority to construct similar dwelling structures, were thus available for tenancy two or three years earlier than if built by the conventional method.
One of the acquired properties, Horizon House, will provide 107 units for the elderly and office space for the Authority’s Central Office. The other property, Judiciary House, will also provide housing units for elderly tenants. This property is a hi-rise luxury-type apartment building containing 271 efficiency and one-bedroom units.
Four other new “Turnkey” projects, in various stages of development, will provide 823 dwelling units for elderly and large families. These proposed “Turnkey” projects are Ft. Lincoln Urban Renewal Area, Project No. 1 (120 units), Georgia Avenue NW. in the vicinity of Walter Reed Army Medical Center (48 units), Edgewood Terrace on the former St. Vincents Site (351 units) and Capitol View Plaza at East Capitol Street and Southern Avenue (304 units).

* PART OF THE ORIGINAL DC-I-50 (219 UNITS)
The Fort Lincoln Area Project No. 1 is located on a 20-acre portion of the site vacated by the National Training School. Three architects, Harry Weese, Panl Rudolph, and Moshe Safdie have been commissioned by the Redevelopment Land Agency to design a 400-unit development for low- and moderate-income families and individuals. New methods, materials and technology are proposed by all three architects on the three sub-parcels of the site. The Georgia Avenue project will be a six story elevator apartment building with 48 dwelling units designed specifically for the elderly. The Turnkey project on the St. Vincent’s site will be part of a 221(d)(3) development containing 1,179 dwelling units for low- and moderate-income tenancy. Capitol View Plaza will also be a combined 221(d) (3) and public housing development with a total of 574 dwelling units. This project has unprecedented support of the community and upon completion will be managed and operated by a corporation formed by the area Citizens Association.
During the fiscal year, three conventionally new constructed projects were completed—SIBLEY PLAZA, 246 units; POTOMAC GARDENS, 352 units, and MONTANA TERRACE, 155 units.
One modernization project, HIGPILAND, containing 208 units, was also completed. These projects total 961 units of which 288 are for elderly occupancy.
Two large existing projects, KNOX FULL AND PARKSIDE DWELLINGS, built during World War II are scheduled for demolition and will be rebuilt with approximately the same number of units plus additional community and recreational facilities.
At the close of the fiscal year, 2,674 units were in various stages of development as follows:

Management
The management of properties has always been one of the major continuing functions of the Housing Authority. However, with emphasis being placed on full scale tenant participation in all areas of operation, the managers’ duties have become significantly more important. The diligent performance of these duties will, to a large measure, determine the success of a housing program.
During fiscal year 1968, the Management Division was involved in many activities which were productive and gratifying. The fiscal year began with the transfer of Management Aides from the Division of Management to the Division of Community Organization and Social Services to operate a summer program. However, the transfers lasted only for a short period, because the Housing Authority could not find adequate funds to carry out the full scale cultural enrichment program as planned.
In spite of the shortage of funds the Management Aides continued to work with personnel from other local agencies and organizations that are concerned about the plight of families residing in public housing. In fact, the Management Aides became full scale partners with other organizations in waging an unrelenting war to help eradicate the symptoms of poverty and bring the much needed social and recreational services to the public housing communities.
Private Management of Public Housing
Shortly after the President’s Committee on Urban Housing recommended development of a proj -ect by the “turnkey” method and negotiation of a contract for its management either with the developer or a private management firm, National Capital Housing Authority’s Board, by resolution, expressed an active interest in exploring the feasibility of the concept.
Since the Housing Authority did not have a “turnkey” project that was nearing completion, two other conventionally built structures approaching initial occupancy were selected for the pilot demonstration. These properties (MONTANA TERRACE and SIBLEY PLAZA) were considered to be ideal, because they would provide private management an opportunity to administer a program for the elderly as well as families with children.
After the private contractor (Shannon & Luchs) was selected, a scope of services and functions was developed and forwarded to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Housing Assistance Administration for approval. Under the management agreement with Shannon & Luchs, tenants were to be selected by the National Capital Housing Authority from its waiting list. Thereafter, the tenants would deal directly with Shannon &
Potomac Gardens—Elderly and Family Units

Luchs in the same relationship that any apartment tenant would have with a private management firm. In addition to performing all of the usual functions of private management, Shannon & Luchs agreed to initiate, sponsor, coordinate and cooperate in social service activities such as: assisting tenants in the establishment of tenant organizations ; counseling with families who are unable to meet the conditions of occupancy; instructing and advising on housekeeping habits and money management; counseling new tenants on regulations, practices, responsibilities, facilities and services and advising the Authority of problems that call for new or revised policies and procedures.
To date the private contractor appears to be fulfilling the terms of the contract and managing the property in a satisfactory manner. However, it is too early for the Housing Authority to state whether the demonstration program has been a complete success, or if it has appreciably improved the relationship of public housing tenants and management—one of the principal objectives of the experiment. When sufficient time has elapsed and the National Capital Housing Authority’s staff has made a complete evaluation of cost, efficiency, and social implications, the Housing Authority will release the results of the pilot program.
Inventory of Public Housing
For the first time in the history of the National Capital Housing Authority, the number of public low-rent housing units under its jurisdiction exceeded 10,000 dwellings. The supply of housing during fiscal 1968 increased by 1,065 dwellings from 9,179 at the beginning of the fiscal period to 10,244 at the close of the fiscal year. Of the 10,244 units under management, 1,208 were specifically designed for the elderly.
The net increase in the supply of housing resulted from the opening of three new developments containing 753 units, minus 46 units at Stoddert Dwellings, plus acquisition of 11 dwellings in the Used House Program, the leasing of 32 units on scattered sites throughout the city, completion of the modernization program at Highland Dwellings which contains 208 units, and the acquisition of Horizon House with 107 units. In addition to housing the elderly, Horizon House will also provide long sought and urgently needed space for the location of the Housing Authority’s Central Offices.
Highland Modernization
Applications and Turnover
The number of applications for public housing received in fiscal year 1968 totaled 4,664 as compared to the 4,531 received in fiscal year 1967. Of the total number received 228 were from families displaced by public action. Although there was an overall increase in the total number of applications received, the number of applications withdrawn by the Authority during the year totaled 3,291— down nearly 21 percent from the 3,952 withdrawn in the previous fiscal year. At the end of the 1968 fiscal year, the Housing Authority had applications on file from 3,517 eligible families and individuals. Of the total number on file, 1,387 or nearly 40 percent were received from elderly applicants.

Tenants and Community Building—Eastgate Gardens
During the 1968 fiscal year, 1,214 families vacated the National Capital Housing Authority properties as compared to 1,257 move-outs in fiscal 1967. As has been the experience in the past the largest number of move-outs occurred in the two-bedroom units. Nearly 17 percent of all the families who moved were forced to do so because of over income. However, with the recent proposed increase in income limits, there should be a reduction in the percentage of overincome families in the next fiscal year. Approximately 11 percent of the
move-outs were dispossessed for failure to pay rent, while not quite 2 percent moved because of various other lease violations.
Community Activities and Services
The Authority continued its policy during the fiscal year of providing assistance and space to agencies and groups, both public and private, which offer services for the benefit of public housing residents. An unprecedented demand was placed on the Authority this fiscal year for such space by the many agencies interested in developing programs under various authorizations. In fact at Valley Green alone, the requests for community, health, welfare, education, and recreational space were so enormous that the Authority agreed to remove 20 two-bedroom apartments out of occupancy in order to permit the initiation of proposed programs. Since the community facilities in the area are grossly inadequate, the Housing Authority, with the concurrence of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, granted such requests for space as seemed necessary to provide such needed services.
The organizations and agencies presently utilizing space in the Housing Authority’s properties are set forth below.

Maintenance
During the fiscal year a comprehensive study was made of the older NCHA properties to determine the long term needs for upgrading or improving the buildings and grounds. This study encompassed structural condition, interior plumbing, kitchen equipment, and electric wiring as well as all site utilities. It was determined that much of the equipment within the buildings was outdated, inadequate in size and worn out from long years of service. It was also determined that normal maintenance of the old buildings would not suffice in most cases. Instead, a major rehabilitation or preferably a modernization was needed in light of changing standards through the years. Many of the properties are now between 25 and 30 years of age and can no longer be considered as modern or up-to-date.
A request was submitted to the Housing Assistance Administration for $13 million to start a major rehabilitation program on all of the Authority's older properties. The request also included funds for amenities not originally included in some of the more recently built properties. The scope of work was deemed to be of too large a magnitude to be completed in less than 5 years. Thus, the Housing Assistance Administration requested the program to be scaled down to a level that could be accomplished within 1, 2, or 3 years’ time. This has been done and the first year’s program has been tentatively approved, but not yet funded, in the amount of more than $3 million.
The initial program will include such facilities as a much needed community building for the Lincoln Heights, Richardson, and Deanwood properties, a new heating plant for Richardson Dwellings and extensive rehabilitation work at the Dupont, Frederick Douglass, and Carrollsburg properties. The final approval of the Lincoln Heights, Richardson, Deanwood Community Building will permit the completion of the presently authorized landscape work and installation of play areas at Deanwood.
During the past fiscal year most of the remaining rehabilitation of the Barry Farm property was completed. This work was started during the preceding fiscal year and to date has cost about $1,500,000. The rehabilitation of the 26-year-old property has done much to improve the overall appearance and livability for the tenants as well as to add many years to the life of the buildings.
The exterior site work and landscaping is now in progress.
The routine maintenance program through the past year has been seriously hampered and drastically curtailed due to the extreme shortage of funds for the normal operation of the Authority. In fact this past year the Authority was forced to delay replacing and repairing much of the equipment and items that had become obsolete or less serviceable.
The Authority has been increasingly dissatisfied over the trash collection system in effect for most of the properties. The District of Columbia Government unlike most municipal governments, does not provide trash pickup service for many of the Housing Authority properties. The trash is picked up by private contractors. However, these contractors have not been able to keep the trash collection stations clean or to assure pickups at the proper time. This has very often caused unsightly conditions at numerous properties. During the past year, a pilot program for trash collection by the Housing Authority’s maintenance personnel was established to determine whether a more satisfactory service could be provided than that now being performed by private contractors.
To date the pilot program indicates that the Authority’s personnel can do a better job at a lower cost to the Authority. The Housing Authority now intends to gradually take over the complete trash pickup service for the various properties, as contracts terminate.
Extermination Program
The Authority, during the past 3 years has increased the efficiency and frequency of treatment for vermin and rodent control throughout all public housing properties in the city. The work is done by commercial extermination firms at some of the properties and by the Authority’s trained staff at others. In recent years it has become necessary to increase the frequency of treatment from twice a year to three times each year, and during the past fiscal year to four times for every dwelling unit. The schedules require all dwellings to be treated at least once every 13 weeks. In addition to this schedule, any complaint received from a tenant between regular visits is investigated and, the necessary extermination service performed. There is no limit on the number of extra treatments that may be requested by a tenant if the need exists.
17
Community Organization and Social Services
During the fiscal year, the Authority moved aggressively toward its goal of improving the social services offered to tenants and increasing their participation in community affairs. Tenants were encouraged to participate in a broad spectrum of city-wide as well as local planning groups which concentrated on such activities as health, education, remedial programs, recreation and employment.
About 2 years ago the Community Organization and Social Services Division (COSS) established a pilot project at VALLEY GREEN in an effort to develop a model community. Soon after the inception of the project the COSS Division gained an active partner in the form of the D.C. Health and Welfare Council. The Council joined the staff and tenants of NCHA in a planning effort which resulted in a substantial increase of services to the community. Over 24 public and private social service agencies and more than 70 Valley Green residents, adults and teens, worked together in the planning process.
The organization of this public-private team effort formally began in November 1967, after extensive “spade-work” by the D.C. Health and Welfare Council. The staff of the COSS Division worked jointly with the staff of the local community agency, “CHASE” in assuring community involvement and tenant awareness of responsibility.
Through the efforts of the tenants, the D.C. Health and Welfare Council, and the Housing Authority’s staff, a noticeable improvement is readily observed at Valley Green. This development now has a gymasium with boxing and physical fitness activities, a model car raceway with two lanes, a family planning clinic—equipped with examining table, Autoclave, a preschool for a total of 90 children in two shifts, three groups of Campfire Girls from Bluebirds to Junior High School age, a Cub Pack and a Boy Scout troop, a small library from which books may be borrowed, a Beauty Clinic, several social clubs for pre-teens and teens, a home economics unit, a social service unit, a weekly group counseling session for adults
and one for children, an extensive Summer Enrichment Program involving over 400 yougsters and a Police Community Relation satellite center.
Plans are in progress for the development of a full-time, day-care center accommodating ninety children under the auspices of the Day Care Association. This Association along with the William A. White Mental Health Clinic has agreed to a regular program of group therapy when the space can be provided to meet the requirements of the program.
The development of these services completed Phase I of the COSS Division’s pilot program. The next step toward the established goal will be fuller involvement of all the residents in an effort to bring further improvement to the Valley Green community. There has already been significant improvement in attitudes and involvement since the program was first established. It is generally felt that vandalism and violence will ultimately diminish as a result of the changes taking place at the property.
Another highlight of the past year has been the growing stability of the volunteer program. At Valley Green and Lincoln Heights over 300 college students and other volunteers offered their services to aid the children living in these two housing developments. They provided tutoring, recreational and group work skills. There were student groups from Maryland, Cornell, and Stanford Universities. In addition there were management interns from Federal agencies who stated that public housing communities appeared to be good arenas for their interests and talents.
Another experiment was launched when the Housing Authority hired thirteen tenants to work with their neighbors as “Community Aides.” This new kind of involvement plus the opportunity to earn money is a further step toward the goals of improving the lives of public housing tenants. These men and women have been appointed as career conditional employees and exhibit a strong sense of purpose in their work in the community. The range of their tasks includes those performed in the roles of communicator, pre-school leader, group leader of teens and pre-teens, research aide,

social service aide, self-improvement worker (Beauty Clinic) and program developer. They are undergoing extensive on-the-job training. Several have been inspired by this experience to become engaged in additional educational experience on their own time. These workers show every evidence of being strong tools for future efforts to strengthen and involve all the tenants.
During the fiscal year, the Philadelphia Housing Assistance Office (HAO) of the Department of Housing and Urban Development began to emphasize the concept of tenant involvement in the planning as well as management of federally aided public housing. Some of the recommendations made by the HAO state that the most important social objectives of the housing program are as follows:
“Creation of an environment where the dwelling tenants occupy are regarded as their homes and the project their neighborhood.”
“More attention to residents’ dignity, privacy, and personal safety. Special attention should be given to the elimination of unnecessary rules and regulations.”
“Increased training and employment of tenants in project management.”
“The development of equitable systems for handling grievances.”
“Greatly expanded participation of tenants in project management affairs and programs designed to strengthen the self-sufficiency of tenants.”
“Management should assume the responsibility for encouraging and assisting tenants to get together to solve problems, pool ideas and expand their capacities through self-help and self determination.”
In order to execute the above recommendations, the role of the COSS Division was redefined. The division functions were spelled out in the following manner:
(1) Close consultation with management on community diagnosis and social planning.
(2) Development of staff training programs and opportunities.
(3) Identifying and exploring resources for the tenant communities.
19
Library at Valley Green
Upon completion of a reorientation of the COSS Division’s resources, the staff has started to:
(1) Offer assistance to tenants in an effort to help increase participation in all affairs of the Authority and the community and also to help formulate training programs for the tenants in the area of group development and social planning;
(2) Help to organize training programs that will improve the Authority’s staff effec
tiveness in helping people to improve their status in life; and
(3) Insist that the community-at-large broadens the base of activity to meet the needs of the tenants, as well as the thousands of families who need decent, safe and sanitary low-rent housing but for whom there is none available.
The Authority believes that the described action will lead to a noticeable improvement in the lives of public housing residents as well as other members of the community.

The payments are considerably in excess of the taxes which the District previously collected from owners of slum sites and vacant areas on which the properties are built.
The District of Columbia does not give the Authority a cash subsidy. The difference between what would have been paid in taxes by a private entrepreneur and the payments in lieu of taxes represents the noncash local subsidy required by law.
Investments
In line with Authority policy all monies in the general fund not immediately required for current expense are invested in both long- and shortterm U.S. Government securities. Earnings from such investments for this fiscal year amounted to $158,769; of which $81,678 applied to development funds invested and $77,091 to management funds invested.
This revenue, as applicable, is used to help defray development and operating costs. At the end of the fiscal year $2,647,849 or 85 percent of the Authority’s available funds were invested.
Additional investments made from debt service funds on deposit with the Fiscal Agent resulted in added earnings of $43,795.
