Applications For Occupancy
Of Housing Projects Being Taken
MURPHY - Murphy's half
million dollar Federal Hous
ing Project which was begun
in November, 1963, is now
80$ complete.
Applications for occupancy
of the new low-rent public
housing project located in
Murphy are being received
at the Murphy Housing Au
thority office from 9:00 to
12:00 in the Townson Build
ing over Murphy Tire and
Appliance.
The applications are being
taken in advance of the com
pletion of the houses which
is scheduled for early in the
year.
Ben Palmer said two main
factors govern eligibility for
admission to the new homes.
First, he said, the family's
annual Income must not exceed
the admission limits set by
the Housing Authority.
Second, the family must be
living in a substandard house
at the time the applications is
filed, unless the head of the
family or spouse is an elderly
person or, a veteran or a
serviceman. For these cate
gories, the substandard hous
ing requirement is waived.
However, die income still
must be within the admission
limits.
Once a family has been ad
mitted as a tenant, the family
may remain in the project until
the family income reaches or
exceeds the limits that have
been established for continued
occupancy. The continued oc
cupancy limits are usually
about twenty-five percent
higher than the admission
limit.
There are 36 dwellings in
the project for white tenants
ranging in size from one bed
room to four bedroom units.
in the project for Negro
tenants, there are four units,
two ? 2 bedroom units and
two - 2 bedroom units and
two * 3 bedroom units.
All units are equipped elec
tric refrigerators, stoves, hot
water heaters, and all are
heated electrically.
Rents are based on family
Income rather than the siae
unit occupied. Each family in
low-rent housing is required
to pay a rent rate which ia at
least one-fifth or one-sixth
of the net family Income, de
pending on numbers of minor!
in family.
Mr. Palmer said that 7 to
10 of the houses will be com
pleted in four to aix weeks.
