COMMENT 19 APPENDIX 20 -List of Agencies Contacted -Map of Generalized Housing Areas INTRODUCTION This report summarizes and analyzes the 70-71 work program of the Central Piedmont Regional Council of Local Governments. This work program V7as the result of a series of meetings, and surveys conducted regionally as well as statewide. Its primary intent was to furnish maximum assistance to the State of North Carolina in implementation of the State's "Breakthrough" plan and the priorities attributed thereto in the Federal Government's priorities for 701 Comprehensive Planning Grants. A series of meetings, starting in late Decem.ber of 1959, contributed to the formulation of North Carolina's "Breakthrough Operations Plan for North Carolina" by the State Planning Division of the N. C. Department of Administration dated April, 1970. These meetings brought together the responsible State officials and representatives from the regional organizations to analyze and assign agency responsibilities for Breakthrough Planning. The Central Piedmont Regional Council of Local Governments had conducted an initial survey in October of 1969 to identify regional priorities and problems in housing. This survey was summarized in the Initial Housing Elem.ent 1969-70 published in April, 1970. This survey identified several problem areas toward which much of the State's Breakthrough Plan was directed. Hence the work program of the Central Piedmont Regional Council of Local Governments was specifically designed to provide maximum support to the State effort albeit during its preparation the details of the State Plan were unknown. The specific elements of this report will be structured about the specific work elements projected for fiscal 1970-71 in the Council's Program Design for 1970-73. These work elements, designed in response to State requirements, have formed the basis for all staff activity. For fiscal 71-72 these work elements will be continued with such revisions as are necessary to respond to revised assessments of State priorities at the State level. This work is currently in progress. -2- I. PROGRESS REPORT - WORK ACCO>T'LISHED WORK ELEMENT 1. - "Obtain such additional basic housing market infor¬ mation as may be required by the State of North Carolina including, but not limited to, potential housing starts for the years 1970, 1971, and 1972, from the plans of suppliers of housing throughout the region." WORK ACCOMPLISHED: State requirements for market information were received by the Council of Governments staff on August 18th together with a copy of the State "Breakthrough" plan. These requirem_ents were established by the use of a standardized reporting form for housing authorities and another for potential sponsors and/or developers. At this time the State housing coordinator briefed staff on the use of the forms, and also on the important elem.ents of the State's plan. Initial interviewing commenced almost Immediately. It was determined with the State that to establish a comprehensive list of the potential developers and sponsors, the most efficient tactic would be to poll the housing authority' directors in the region as to firms who had expressed interest in this field.
