1972 Correspondence on Low-Income Housing Cost Discrepancies, 1972-04-09

The letter addresses a Washington Post article that inaccurately reported the cost of low-income housing development in the Shaw School Urban Renewal Area. The letter explains that the $52,200 figure cited in the article is misleading, and the actual development cost per unit is $26,600. It also defends the urban renewal costs and the fair market value paid for properties, emphasizing the benefits of urban renewal for the neighborhood. The letter provides additional information and resources for further clarification.
