A 3-year plan was submitted
by , the city which also
includes modernization.
Money tor modernization will
be used to repair structures,
and to bring buildings up to
housing codes.
WSSU faculty members Dr.
Ukaonu Uche, Dr. Marlene
Simpson and Dr. William
Rice, completed the final
proposal to , incorporate the
Busjness Administration Department
a curriculum in
Housing Management. The
long range plan at the
university is to have a
separate program in Housing

The university is working on
an agreement with the
housing authority to provide

President of WSSU, said in
the past Blacks were thrust
into the housing field without
any training. Now, students
interested in housing or
looking for alternative career
choice can get the necessary
training in Management.
Crawford, a native of
Winston-Salem, said the city
has the best housing authority
in the country and he feels the
1 program will be a success.

apartments are owned by
Goler Metropolitan A.M.E.
Zion Church.
The New Bethel Baptist
Church Apartments-have 100
units and are owned by New
Bethel Baptist Church. These
apartments are located at 770
Ferrel Court.
"The apartments were constructed
as a result of the 1968
Housing Act. The act provided
for the building of apartments
to house low and moderate
income people.
Attorney Wagner was
familiar with the terms of the
a- r.ix a1 x i.1 ?
act. ne ien inai mere was a
great need for this type of
housing in Winston-Salem.
The attorney, who was a
housing specialist for a local
bank before going into private
practice, contacted Goler and
New Bethel Churches. They
were interested in owning
housing for low and moderate
income people.
Wagner then went to work.
As consultant for the project
he put together the financing,
land packaging and construction
of the housing.
The apartment complexes
are subsidised by the Federal
Government under interest
?subsidy section 236 nf the
National Housing Act. Under
this section the mortgage
interest is set at 8'/2'/2: The
government pays 7'/2% of this
interest and tne apartments
pay the remaining ] % and the
principle.
Wagner says this is helpful
because, "under a mortgage,'
most early payments are taken
up in paying the interest." By
the government paying the
majority of interest some of
the burden is lifted from the
owners."
The tenants of the apartments
are aided by a rent
subsidy or supplement plan.
The owner may rent the
apartment for 4 lower rent
