Senior-Citizens Housing Proiect

Mayor Norris Poulson gave the green light Sept. 15 to encourage the construction of housing for senior citizens; the development of a means of financing recoustruction in all rehabiliiation areas and a review of any hardship cases due to the urban renewal activities, after a comprehensive report submitted to the mayor by his Citizens Urban Renewal Advisory committee through its chairman, Irvan F. Mendenhall.

"fn the city of Los Angeles, we have 225,000 senior citizens," said Mayor Poulson. "I have discussed this matter with the chairman of the Community Redevelopment Agency, William T. Sesnon, Jr., with the view that the Agency consider setting aside a portion of the land in future urban renewal projects for senior citizens' housing and to continue this policy in other projects where it is economically feasible to do so."

The committee heard a talk by Don Emmons, noted Sau Francisco architect, whose firm is developing the Capitol Towers area in Sacramento which involves removal of a semi-slum district and the construction of new, moderr.rized buildings over a large area southwest of the State Capitol building. It can be done in Los Angeles in Bunker Hill arrd other appropriate areas, Emmons said, adding that the city can profit by errors and mis.takes made in Sacramento at the start. Slides illustrated the explanation of the multimillion dollar project.
