If approved by HUD,,
persons living in local housing
- projects may face as much as a
five per cent rent increase by
October 1.
David L. Thompkins, deputy
director of housing for the
Redevelopment Commission
of Winston-Salem stated in a
telephone interview that if the
new proposal is approved, the
new increase would be based
on what the person's annual
salary was.
"Presently, the local housing
.authority is operating
under three rent schedules,"
he said.
"There is a 20 per cent rent
schedule with people who

The study was asked for
after the city had heard
complaints from many of the
merchants in the city ?
particularly those in the Trade
Street Areas.

Members of the local
housing authority and managers
from all six public
housing projects met Tuesday
with residents to explain the
new proposal.
The six housing projects
involved are Sunrise Towers,
Crystal Towers, Kimberly
Park, Happy Hill Gardens,
Piedmont Park and Cleveland
Avenue Projects.
Although the crowds at
most of the projects were
small, Thompkins said they
tried to tell the residents that
due to inflation and the
upkeep of the apartments,
something has got to be done.

residents understood that due
to rising costs we would
eventually have to do
something," he stated.
Thompkins stated that
under the present? rent?
schedule, there were families
who were living in public
housing and were paying no
rent.
"For instance, if there were
eight persons in a family and
their annual income was
$2400, they would receive a
deducation of $300 per child. ?
Therefore, their net income
. would be zero. And, under the
old policy, their rent would b*
zero, Thompkins said.
"But with the new proposal, ,
everyone would have to pay at >
lease five per cent of their
annual income," he said.
