Model Cities Program
In response to urban problems of poverty and race in the United States, Congress passed legislation in November 1966 to initiate a demonstration effort known as the Model Cities Program. Called the Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Act of 1966 PL 754, the primary goal of this legislation was to improve the quality of urban life. The Model Cities Program goals and objectives were to reduce social and economic disadvantages in designated neighborhoods, provide maximum training and employment opportunities, and establish health services for residents. Financial and technical assistance was made available to cities, through the Department of Housing and Urban Development, to ameliorate social, economic, and physical conditions in needed neighborhoods. City agencies were required to coordinate their efforts and the program emphasized the citizen participation. The goals of the program were to coordinate and concentrate federal, state and local resources, develop innovative programs, and to involve local residents in the planning and development process.
Eligible cities received one-year planning grants to prepare Comprehensive Plans. Implementation and on-going planning occurred over a five-year demonstration period. Seattle was the first city chosen to receive federal funds. The planning process involved creating a Comprehensive Plan in the first eight months, quantifying five-year objectives for the Model Neighborhood Area and developing first-year action plans and programs.
An extension of the Model Cities program was launched August 1, 1972 by the Nixon administration to provide for more review, involvement, and cooperation by various levels of local government and citizens, with less review at the federal level. Nixon approved $2.3 billion to fund model cities from 1969 to 1973. Model Cities funding was terminated June 20, 1975.
Seattle Model Cities Program
The Mayor and City Council supported an ad hoc committee, which first met in November 1966, to prepare a grant application. The committee defined the Model Neighborhood as the Central Area, Pioneer Square, and the International District. The population of this geographical area comprised about 10 percent of the city's population and about 61% of the city's non-white population. The initial application stated "Seattle is a city which is still short of the crisis situation of the older urban centers…The Model neighborhood is in the initial stages of decay, not the final stages….It is because we do still have time that we have developed the sense of urgency to attack our problems now."
The program was administered by the City's Executive Department. Walter Hundley, 38, was announced as the program director in December 1967. Hundley came to Seattle in 1954 to serve as a minister of a nondenominational church and later joined the State Department of Public Assistance. In 1967 he was Director of the Central Area Motivation Program, an anti-poverty project in Seattle. Hundley was chosen by a 10-member citizen's committee, headed by Charles Brink, Dean of the School of Social Work at the University of Washington.
The major components of the administrative structure for SMCP consisted of an Advisory Council, Steering Committee, staff, and task forces. The Advisory Council consisted of over 80 members representing organizations within the Model Neighborhood.
Task forces worked with staff on planning. Based on work done by the Task Forces, Hundley reorganized and rewrote the drafts and submitted to HUD. HUD announced in December 1968 that Seattle's First-Year Action Program was the first to be approved for funding. The First-Year Action Program proposed projects in nine areas which corresponded to the focus of each task force. The areas included: Arts and Culture, Education, Employment and Economic Development, Health, Housing, Law and Justice, Physical Planning and Environment, Welfare, and Youth. From 1968 to 1971, the SMCP was successful in planning, developing, and implementing a variety of effective programs. Programs were developed in collaboration with the model neighborhood, which included, community activists, and a variety of agencies at local, state, and federal levels.
In 1971, Seattle was one of 16 cities chosen to participate in the Planned Variation or city-wide expansion. The Seattle Model Cities Program received $5.2 million in federal funds and the program was expanded to include three additional neighborhoods: north Seattle, southeast Seattle, and southwest Seattle. Walter Hundley was appointed to a city-wide post by Mayor Wes Uhlman and Louis C. Warner was appointed manager of the east branch, the city's original program. Jim Hurd and then George Clark were managers of the Southwest Branch; John Ybarra, Jr. was manager of the Southeast Branch; the North Branch manger was John Mitsules.
Seattle's Model Cities funding ended in 1974 and the program was transferred that year to the Department of Human Resources for closeout. Following the loss of funding, many projects were continued under the auspices of community organizations, larger institutions, City agencies, and other governmental entities. Some received ongoing funding through the Community Development Block Grant program.
Content DescriptionReturn to Top
Records of the Model Cities Program are arranged in two sub-groups and date from 1967 to 1975. The Administrative records measure 57.2 cubic feet and are arranged in 19 series. The Program and Project files measure 44 cubic feet.
The Administrative Records provide details of SMCP from many different perspectives. The largest volume of records are those of Director Walter Hundley. His correspondence with HUD, City officials, state and local government officials, community leaders and SMCP employees offers a detailed view of the issues and complexities presented by SMCP. Records from each piece of the administrative structure: the Advisory Council, task forces, and Branch Offices complement Hundley's records to provide a very complete picture of the difficulties and successes of SMCP. Correspondence with officials in other Model Cities programs throughout the country provides a national perspective on the Model Cities Program.
The two largest subseries within Administrative Records are the Central Administrative Files (5400-03) and the Task Force Files (5402-04) and would be good beginning places for research on the Seattle Model Cities Program. The Central Administrative Files include correspondence and reports at all levels of the SMCP. The records provide a good overview of the main participants, projects, and working relationships in the SMCP, and other participants at the local level as well as the regional, state and national level.
The Task Force Files provide information on how the work within SMCP was accomplished, the projects undertaken as well as the difficulties and successes are discussed in Weekly Reports and Correspondence. The breadth and scope of projects is apparent in these records. The records can also be used to learn about the cooperative nature of SMCP projects, between citizens, community groups and government agencies.

The Citizen Participation Division Records are arranged in
six subseries: Associate Director Files, Advisory Council, Combined Citizens
Advisory Council, task forces (arranged by Branch Office), Citizen Monitoring
Reports, Weekly Reports (all task forces).
George E. Clark was the associate director of the Citizen
Participation Division for the SMCP. The records of the citizen Participation
Division reflect his activities and the citizens and work occurring in the
various branches. Clark's reports discuss activities related to citizen
participation at the various branches, including personnel and work programs.
His reports are based on reports to him from the branches, which are also
included. Clark's incoming and outgoing correspondence includes both internal
and external correspondents and covers programmatic and personnel issues.
The Advisory Council was the policy-making body of the SMCP.
Every known organization in the Model Neighborhood was invited to participate;
representation included over 80 community groups. Issues such as task force
planning and organization structure were addressed through the Council. Records
of the Council include minutes, correspondence and bylaws. These records
overlap with series 5402-02, Advisory Council Files.
The Combined Citizens Advisory Council began meeting in
1972. Mandated at the federal level, it was composed of 40 members from the
branch councils. Its role was to act as a citizen advisory body to the SMCP,
which became more decentralized in 1972. The Citizens Advisory Council records
are arranged by branch and consist of minutes and committee reports.
There were four Branch Advisory Councils corresponding to
each of the Model Neighborhood areas: East, Southeast, Southwest, and North.
The Branch Advisory Councils reviewed proposals and recommendations by the task
forces and coordinated planning for the branches. Branch records include bylaws
and minutes.
Each Branch had seven functional task forces corresponding
with the seven city-wide task forces: Education, Elderly, Employment, Health,
Housing and Physical Environment, Law and Justice, Recreation and Youth, Social
Services and Welfare. The task forces were run by citizens, fostering citizen
participation which was an important tenet of the Model Cities Program. Task
force records consist of minutes and attendance sheets, arranged by branch and
then by task force. Although the task force records in this subseries document
the years 1972 to 1973 in more detail, they overlap to some degree with Task
Force Minutes (5402-03) and Task Force Records (5402-04). Updates on specific
proposals and projects are given in the minutes. The successes and the
frustrations of citizen involvement are evident in the Task Force Records. The
minutes discuss conflicting goals between the task forces, the City's Office of
Program Planning (in one report referred to as 'the Mayor Boys') and the
SMCP.
The Citizen Participation staff were responsible for
training the citizen monitors to observe specific SMCP projects at each of the
branches. Citizens went out in teams to interview project participants and
directors and observe the projects in action and offer their observations on
successes and areas for improvement. Their monitoring forms provide a close-up
look at specific projects in the Model Cities Program.
Weekly Reports -- written mostly by branch managers for
Director Walter Hundley and copied to Clark -- include information on branch
activities and provide a glimpse of day-to-day activity and issues, such as
communication with the main office and with City employees. The reports also
provide updates on planning, budgets, citizen participation and task force
activity as well as advisory council meetings for each branch. Interaction with
city council members is reported on as well. Staff meeting minutes for the
branches are often included in the reports. The reports are a good way to
compare activities between the different branches.

Model City Program Advisory Council, 1968-1974 0.8 cubic
ft.
The role of the SMCP Advisory Council was to oversee the
planning process for the Program. The Council met once a month with oversight
for the citizen task forces. The membership of the Council was made up of
organizations and clubs within the SMCP boundaries. There is some overlap
between these records and those in the Citizen Participation Division Files
(5402-01). The records of the Advisory Council include minutes, correspondence,
and attendance lists. A proposal to continue selected projects after SMCP
monies ended is included.

5402-04 : Task
Force Records, 1968-1974 12 cubic
ft.
Included are records for the following task forces: Arts and
Culture, Citizen Participation, Education, Employment, Health, Housing, Law and
Justice, Physical Planning, Welfare and Youth. Task Force Records include
weekly reports, attendance records, correspondence. Task Force Records include
correspondence with Walter Hundley, task force members, and others at
municipal, state, and federal levels. The records document the planning and
varying degrees of success of projects for each task force. The records are
also contain information regarding the involvement of other government and
community agencies in Model Cities projects and some of the organizational
issues faced by Model Cities workers. Other Task Force Records, such as Minutes
(5204-03) should be consulted as well.
The Arts and Culture Task Force records comprise the
smallest portion of the Task Force Records (.25 cf) and date from 1968-1970.
The records contain information on efforts to ensure cultural vitality in the
Model Neighborhoods, including houses of art, theater and music groups
incorporating culturally diverse programs.
The Citizen Participation Task Force records (.75 cf) date
from 1968-1973 and include records regarding the efforts to encourage citizen
participation at all levels of Model Cities projects and the effort to make
information regarding Model Cities projects available to all in the Model
Neighborhoods.
The Education Task Force records (1 cf) date from 1968-1974
are useful for studying the Model Cities Program's relationship with the
Seattle Public Schools and the University of Washington, as many of the
education programs were cooperative efforts with these institutions. The
Education projects included art programs, programs focused on middle school
students and teachers, early childhood education, and programs on occupational
skills.
The Employment Task Force records (1 cf) date from 1968-1972
and include records relating to construction training, affirmative action,
trades, and including minorities in the work force in general, but especially
on projects within the Model Neighborhoods.
The Health and Housing Task Force records are both 2 cubic
feet. The Health records date from 1968 to 1972 and include information on a
variety of health programs, including dental programs, environmental health,
family planning, mental retardation, and alcohol and drug treatment programs.
The Housing Task Force records contain information about
explorations into various solutions for adequate and affordable housing in the
Model Neighborhood. Some of the projects were funded at a federal level, others
explored possibilities using local resources. Projects included code
enforcement, low income housing for elderly, townhouses, and assistance with
home ownership. The Housing Demonstration Project includes information about
CAT-12, a group of 12 graduating University of Washington students who planned
to build 4-8 units of low-income housing for their final design project. There
is some overlap between the Physical Planning and Housing task forces;
researchers should look at records for both task forces. Task force members
struggled with opposition from residents to projects in their neighborhoods,
with using contractors and business owners from the Model Neighborhood, and
with securing the quality of housing necessary. Correspondents include Walter
Hundley, Lem Peterson, Elmira Hunter, Ruth Hughes, Seattle Housing Authority,
and the University of Washington.
The Law and Justice Task Force records (1.25 cf) date from
1968-1972 and include information on projects relating to crime, group homes,
legal services, a public defender program, and landlord tenant issues.
Correspondents include Ed Wood and Charles Ehlert.
Physical Planning Task Force records (1.75) relate to land
use, transportation including I-90 planning, and parks planning. They date from
1968-1972. Correspondents include Lem Peterson, planning coordinator,
consultant firm Okamoto-Liskamm and various City employees in planning,
transportation and the Mayor's office.
The records of the Welfare Task Force (1.25) date from 1968
to 1973 include correspondence and reports about infant child care, services
for the elderly, and Pioneer Square shelter/rehabilitation center and more. The
Income Maintenance program was designed to provide an income subsidy to public
assistance recipients to test the effect of a decent standard of living on
motivation, self-worth, and the ability to lower welfare caseloads.
Correspondence from state, county, and local agencies is included.
Correspondents include Orene Scott, Mary Lou Williams, Sharon Fujii, Dorothy
Hollingsworth, Roland Hairston.
The Youth Task Force (.75) date from 1968-1972 and contain
records regarding summer camps at the Red Barn Ranch, a program called Summer
Emphasis on Education and Knowledge (SEEK), and other programs such as the Soul
Academy.

Records, Task Force Records, and Weekly Reports. Included in the administrative
records are correspondence between the manager and Walter Hundley, community
organizations, and other Model Cities staff, manager weekly reports and
Department of Community Development (DCD) SMCP weekly reports. The DCD reports
are helpful for information on the working relationships between SMCP and City
departments. Branch Task Force records include task force correspondence and
attendance. The Odessa Brown Clinic and El Centro de la Raza were two projects
within the Southeast neighborhood.
Correspondents include John Ybarra, Jr., Roberto Maestas,

Southwest Branch Model Cities Neighborhood Office Files, 1971-1973
0.8 cubic
ft.
The Southwest Model Neighborhood included Delridge, High
Point, Georgetown, Riverview, Highland Park and South Park. A predominantly
white neighborhood, the branch manager was Jim Hurd, until January 1973; George
Clark became Acting Manager. Some of the projects to come out of the Southwest
Branch were elderly services, medical-dental services, and child care.
As with other branch office records, the Southwest Branch
records primarily document the years 1971 to 1973. The records are arranged
into four subseries: Community Profile Notebooks, Branch Administration, Task
Forces, and Weekly Reports. The files contain information on efforts to involve
citizens, coordinate projects with other SMCP offices, and insight into success
and obstacles for projects of the Southwest Branch.

5405-01 : The
Administrative Commission, 1972-1975 0.8 cubic
ft.
The Administrative Commission was created in 1972 under
Ordinance 100495. It was authorized by the Washington State Legislature to
assist with the administration of the Model Cities Program. The Administrative
Commission was meant to facilitate the flexibility and efficiency in
administering the SMCP grant monies.
The Administrative Commission (TAC) consisted of three
unpaid commissioners; the internal administration and monitoring of Commission
projects was done by one paid staff. The Commissioners were: Caroline MacColl,
William Anderson and Donald K. Smith. Symone Scales was the staff person.
Monthly meetings were held, open to the public. The SMCP Citizens Advisory
Council provided citizen review and public accountability. TAC was dissolved in
May 1975.
The records of TAC date from 1972 to 1975. The Corporation
Charter, Commissioner correspondence, financial records and project
correspondence comprise the bulk of the records. TAC records record the working
relationship between TAC and the Office of Economic Development and Seattle
Housing Development. Information about TAC projects in the files include
property acquisition, of which the most prominent was purchase of the City Loan
Building in Pioneer Square (206 First Avenue South), proposals from the Skid
Road Community Council for a food and shelter facility, demolition of
deteriorated vacant houses in the East Model Neighborhood, and an accounting
system for SMCP.

Model Cities funding was directed to Black Arts/West, a
program of the Central Area Motivation Program (CAMP), to enhance its
performing arts program. The specific purpose was to expand theater activities
and provide community exposure to drama. Funding supported a children's
theater, the professional training of actors, and the production of plays of
local and regional interest. By the final year of Model Cities funding, Black
Arts/West productions drew audiences totalling over 12,000, and had gained
exposure nationally. CAMP continued administration of the theater program after
termination of the Model Cities funding.

5411-02 : Swimming
and Water Safety Education Project, 1970-1973 0.2 cubic
foot
The project was initiated in July 1971 to provide children
and adults in the Model Neighborhood with swimming lessons and water-based
exercise classes. The YMCA operated the project. During the summers of 1971 and
1972, over 200 pre-teens received swim lessons. In 1972, the program expanded
to include weekly "swim and trim" classes for adults; and in 1973, funding
provided portal to portal transport for 50 youth who enrolled in water skiing
classes. Due to a reduction in Fifth Action Year (1974) funds, the SMCP
terminated the project.
|
5411-03 : Cinematography Project, 1970-1974 0.4 cubic
foot
The Cinematography Project provided training for high school
and college students in cinematography, still photography, film production and
directing, film and videotape editing, television news photography, and screen
writing. It also provided career counseling and job placement. During its first
year, the project was administered by the Seattle School District #1. However,
the project focused more on community based activities and local television
stations and did not aligned with the existing curriculum of the school
district. In 1970, the project was taken over by Oscar Productions, a
non-profit corporation founded a year earlier. During its existence, the
Cinematography Project trained 105 students in cinema arts, created 16 films,
produced 200 episodes of Action Inner-City on KOMO-TV, and conducted 18
community workshops. Oscar Productions continued activities on a reduced scale
following the discontinuation of Model Cities funding.
|
5411-04 : Black
Academy of Music, 1973-1974 0.2 cubic
foot
The Black Academy of Music was established as a community
orchestra in 1970 to provide residents with instruction in Black music,
composition, and arranging, and to prepare talented students for music careers.
SMCP refused to fund the project because it felt there was little chance the
Academy could secure permanent funding. The Department of Housing and Urban
Development also had a policy against funding independent entities that had no
track record of management and fiscal success. However, in 1973, the City
Council overruled SMCP recommendations and funded the project under the
auspices of the Central Area Motivation Program. The Academy provided
instruction to 385 students, supported an orchestra of 45, and performed for an
estimated 20,000 residents.
|
5411-05 : City-Wide Recreation Project, 1972-1974 0.4 cubic
foot
This project, administered through the Department of Parks
and Recreation, was designed to create a centralized resource for
comprehensively planning, programming, and promoting recreational
opportunities. The goal was to develop model information and a planning
resource system using computer technology that could coordinate recreation
activities city-wide. At completion of the project, the Parks Department
implemented the program and analytical tools at the Ballard and Loyal Heights
Community Recreation Center. Included in the records series are project
monitoring files for the Southeast, Southwest, and North Recreation Projects.
|
5411-06 : Youth
Services Project, 1969-1974 1.2 cubic
foot
This project was funded to create a comprehensive youth
recreation program for approximately 15,000 model neighborhood youth with an
emphasis on the older teen population. The project grew in scope in 1971 to
include efforts to form a consortium of youth serving agencies to coordinate
city-wide planning for all youth programs and to support youth advocacy. SMCP
funds provided support for planning and administrative staff as well as thirty
special projects operated by youth service agencies. Funded activities included
ecological study programs, printing newsletters, teen drop-in centers, summer
sack lunches, youth counseling, employment referrals, recreational and cultural
programs. Many local agencies had independent funding and chose not to be
integrated into the overall plan. This, and a reduction in Fifth Action Year
funding from HUD, lead SMCP to terminate the program in 1974. Certain aspects
of the project, however, were continued by the City's Department of Human
Services.
|
5411-07 : Model
Neighborhood Camp, 1969-1973 0.4 cubic
foot
This project was developed to provide model neighborhood
children the opportunity to enjoy a summer outdoor educational/recreational
camping experience in a rural setting. A farm, 30 miles outside of Seattle, was
leased in 1969 and purchased a year later with HUD and State of Washington
funding. The program was administered by the Seattle School District for two
years and served 1800 children each summer. During 1971 and 1972, the camp,
known as the Red Barn Ranch, came under the management of the Parks Department
and was closed for renovation. The Department operated day camps with SMCP
funding until the Ranch was reopened in 1973. In that year, children from all
four model neighborhoods attended 10 one-week camp sessions. Following the
termination of Model Cities funding, the Parks Department continued operation
of the facility on a year-round basis.
|
5412-01 : Prepaid
Health Care Project, 1970-1974 0.8 cubic
foot
Part of a nation-wide demonstration project, Prepaid Health
Care was intended to provide subsidized health care to low income families
through different delivery systems. The project was administered by the
Community Health Board of Seattle. SMCP funding paid for enrollment and monthly
dues for Group Health enrollees and the salaries for the outreach component of
the project. The U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) funded
support for Blue Cross/Blue Shield enrollees. An annual average of 4,000
individuals were enrolled during the life of the project. HEW continued funding
for a brief time following the close-out of the Model Cities Program.
|
5412-02 : Odessa
Brown Children's Clinic, 1969-1974 0.8 cubic
foot
The Odessa Brown Clinic was operated by Children's
Orthopedic Hospital and focuses primarily on children's health needs. Medical
services included diagnosis, treatment, simple lab tests, and follow-up
treatment with more difficult cases referred to Children's Hospital. The clinic
also offered dental care and dental hygiene education. At the close of SMCP
funding, the clinic had recorded 18,247 medical patient visits and 13,095
dental patient visits. Approximately 70 percent of patients were from families
whose income was below federal poverty levels. The Clinic services were
continued by Children's Hospital after completion of the Model Cities funding
ended.
|
5412-03 : Environmental Health Project, 1969-1974 0.8 cubic
foot
This project was a campaign to remove junk and garbage, raze
unsafe buildings, clear vacant lots, eliminate rodents and vector problems, and
extend environmental health education in the model neighborhoods. This highly
visible program removed 700 abandoned vehicles from model neighborhoods, razed
332 structures and 95 buildings, removed 6,000 tons of rubbish, and cleared 152
vacant lots. The project was operated by the Central Area Motivation Program
until the advent of the Planned Variation when it was transferred to the
Seattle/King County Health Department and services were expanded to include the
new model neighborhoods.
|
5412-04 : Developmental Comprehensive Health Care Project, 1968-1970
0.2 cubic
foot
Funded by the SMCP and HEW (U.S. Department of Health,
Education, and Welfare), the Developmental Comprehensive Health Care Project
was the first project implemented in the Health category. The University of
Washington Division of Heath Sciences planned a health care system and wrote
grants to fund its implementation; the outcome of this project was the Prepaid
Health Project, and other projects such as the Odessa Brown Clinic and Seattle
Treatment Center also had their roots in this initial program. Throughout the
project, Model Neighborhood citizen involvement remained a priority.
|
5412-05 : Community Mental Health Services Project, 1969-1974
0.8 cubic
foot
The project provided comprehensive mental health services in
the model neighborhood around Harborview Hospital, including inpatient and
outpatient care, emergency care, and consultation to schools and community
agencies. It was administered by Harborview with service and management provide
by the University of Washington Medical School and Department of Psychiatry.
The Center was designated one of twelve national model programs attempting to
integrate mental and physical health services. The project received long-term
funding from the National Institute of Mental Health that lasted beyond the
period of SMCP funding.
|
5412-06 : Pioneer
Square Neighborhood Health Station, 1970-1974 0.6 cubic
ft.
The Health Station was an outpatient facility operated by
Harborview Hospital for the residents of the Pioneer Square and International
District areas. The population was largely made up of older males characterized
by physical disabilities, alcoholism, drug dependency, physical trauma, chronic
illness, and/or mental health problems. The station provided health care and
preventive practices services to the transient population in Pioneer Square and
the International District. Operated by Harborview Medical Center. Patient
visits increased from 200 in March 1972 to 1,300 in September 1973 with a total
of nearly 39,000 during the life of the project. The Health Station was one of
the first in the region to use nurse practitioners to meet medical needs.
|
5412-07 : Food and
Nutrition Project, 1970-1971 0.1 cubic
foot
This short-term project was established to relieve the
suffering of Skid Road indigents and transients due to the severely cold winter
of 1970-1971. Funding was primarily from the State Department of Social and
Health Services, although the SMCP contributed heavily toward the purchase of
food and shelter. The project set the precedent for the City to include a
Winter Food and Shelter allocation in its General Fund budget.
|
5412-08 : Treatment for the Indigent Alcoholic Project, 1970-1973
0.8 cubic
foot
With its higher-than-average rate of alcoholism, Seattle
faced a problem with "drunk-in-public" indigent alcoholics. The SMCP's
treatment program sought to remove indigent alcoholics from the criminal
justice system by providing less punitive treatment. Patients were fed, given a
place to sleep, and monitored in the first stage (dry out), then were
administered medical treatment and given referrals to further treatment during
the second stage (detoxification). Although a variety of treatment and
assistance facilities had been available prior to the SMCP's involvement, its
Central Alcoholism Agency, formed in 1972, coordinated the efforts of those
services. The Seattle Treatment Center, which provided services to the county,
served 190 patients per month at the time of its termination (due to
administrative problems) in 1973. Other facilities created by the Central
Alcoholism Agency continued to assist patients. In 1975, public drunkenness was
decriminalized.
|
5412-09 : Neighborhood Health Services Project, 1971-1973
1.0 cubic
foot
Planned Variation allowed for the expansion of SMCP
sponsored health clinics into the three new model neighborhoods. Two dental
clinics and a medical clinic in the Southwest MN served Georgetown and South
Park and recorded 2,574 patients in a little under a year-and-a-half. The
Southeast MN had medical clinics at the Holly Park and Rainier Vista Public
Housing projects and included an Indian Health Board clinic and a clinic that
focuses on Chicano health issues. Nearly 3,500 patients were served in a
year-and-a-quarter. The North Model Neighborhood project experienced very low
resident utilization and suffered from some administrative difficulties. It
operated for only ten months.
|
5412-10 : Center
for Addiction Services, 1972-1974 0.1 cubic
foot
The Center was established to provide medical treatment,
counseling and referral for non-alcohol drug abusers. SMCP funds were used to
help provide local matching funds for the creation of the Center. From 1973,
the continued operation of the Center was carried out with funds from the
National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA). SMCP funds were used specifically for
staff salaries until the NIDA funds began flowing on a regular basis.
|
5412-11 : Odessa
Brown Neighborhood Health Complex, 1969-1974 0.4 cubic foot
The Odessa Brown Clinic was operated by Children's
Orthopedic Hospital and focused primarily on children's health needs. Medical
services included diagnosis, treatment, simple lab tests, and follow-up
treatment, with more difficult cases referred to Children's Hospital. The
clinic also offered dental care and dental hygiene education. At the close of
SMCP funding, the clinic had recorded 18,247 medical patient visits and 13,095
dental patient visits. Approximately 70 percent of patients were from families
whose income was below federal poverty levels. The Clinic services were
continued by Children's Hospital after Model Cities funding ended.
|
5413-01 : Legal
Services Project, 1972-1973 0.2 cubic
foot
Legal Services, run by the Seattle-King County Legal Aid
Bureau, was an existing organization that received SMCP assistance to enhance
its services. SMCP funds made possible the opening of two new Legal Services
offices in the Southeast and North Model Neighborhoods. The organization
provided legal advice, drafting of documents, and education programs concerning
the legal system for its lower-income clients. Legal Services attorneys also
represented clients in court trials and in appeals. Legal Services received a
high volume of new clients after the opening of the new offices.
|
5413-02 : Community Service Officers, 1971-1974 0.6 cubic
foot
The Seattle Police Department began hiring Model
Neighborhood residents as Community Service Officers (CSOs) in 1972. The
program was intended to improve relations between Model Neighborhood residents
and the Seattle Police Department, to reduce juvenile crime, to provide police
with a better understanding of minority individuals, and to increase the
percentage of minority employees on the police force. Although CSOs did not
carry weapons and could not make arrests, finding lost children, helping people
find food and shelter, and counseling young adults were some of their duties.
Although both the SPD and the Model Neighborhood residents were at first
skeptical, the program was so successful that by 1975, its funding had been
taken over by the City General Fund. The addition of 26 full-time employees
enabled the program to serve all of Seattle.
|
5413-03 : Community Based Residential Treatment (Group Homes) Project,
1969-1974 1.6 cubic
ft.
This project intended to reduce the number of
institutionalized delinquent youth by providing a group home living situation,
career advice and educational assistance, and a variety of counseling options
for youth who would otherwise have been institutionalized. A variety of groups
-- including local police, Community Service Officers, and the Juvenile Court
system -- participated in the program. Successes of the project included
reduction in police encounters, improved grades, and a high rate of success in
returning troubled youth to a family situation. The cost of the project was
also significantly lower than that of institutionalization.
|
5413-04 : Public
Defender Program, 1969-1974 1.2 cubic
ft.
SMCP sponsored the development of the Defender Association,
a private non-profit corporation which administers the Seattle-King County
Public Defender program. The objective of the agency is to provide quality
legal services to indigent defendants. Prior to its creation, indigents and the
working poor accused of felonies were assigned attorneys by the court and those
accused of misdemeanors generally had no counsel. The project began with five
staff in 1969, but by 1975, the Public Defender's office included 70 full-time
staff employing 34 attorneys.
|
5413-05 : Chance
Halfway House, 1970-1974 0.8 cubic
foot
This project provided employment skills training and job
placement services to adult offenders after release from prison. The halfway
house provided a living environment to its clients, and education focused not
only on job skills, but also on personal relations, self-image, and motivation.
The job placement service found jobs for graduates of the program as well as
other former offenders. Nearly sixty per cent of clients graduated from the
program, and those graduates had fewer encounters with the criminal justice
system and an improved employment record. The importance of personal support
services beyond the provision of jobs was stressed.
|
5413-07 : Group
Legal Services, 1969-1974 0.4 cubic
foot
This project intended to establish a membership-fee-based
non-profit legal assistance corporation which would provide low-cost legal
services to Model Neighborhood residents who did not qualify for free legal
assistance. The project had two parts: the first was an initial review of
residents' legal needs, which would be followed by the planning and creation of
a group legal services plan. However, in 1969, revisions in the code of ethics
of the American and Washington State Bar Associations put a hold on the
implementation of the project. Although the Bar Association's Board of
Governors recommended a policy on group legal services which would have allowed
the project to go forward, the recommendation also had to pass muster with the
State Supreme Court. Because the review process lasted five years, the SMCP
project could not be implemented.
|
5414-01 : Comprehensive Services for the Aged, 1969-1974
1.6 cubic
ft.
This project intended to improve the effectiveness of
services provided to the elderly. The SMCP gave funding to or through different
agencies to assist them in planning services for elderly clients. Agencies such
as Senior Services and Centers, Inc., Legal Services Bureau, Meals on Wheels,
the Visiting Nurse Service, and the Seattle Police department provided services
including health care, counseling, legal services, home maintenance, and meals
for those unable to leave their homes. Some elderly clients were employed as
crossing guards or day care workers, and social and community activities were
provided. Most of these services continued after SMCP's involvement ended.
|
5414-02 : Special
Counseling and Continuation School, 1969-1973 0.4 cubic
foot
A program for assistance to teenage mothers, originally
operated by the YWCA with assistance from the Seattle-King County Health
Department and Seattle Public Schools, was expanded with help from the SMCP
Welfare Task Force. The expanded program provided classroom instruction health
services, counseling, and child care for pregnant teenagers and teenage
mothers. In 1970, Seattle Public Schools revised their policy on suspending
pregnant students, allowing young women to continue their high school
education. In 1973, the program became a part of the Seattle Public School
system.
|
5414-03 : Neighborhood Social Service Center Network, 1968-1974
2.4 cubic
ft.
A network of social service centers, comprising the Cherry
Hill Neighborhood Facility, International District Neighborhood Resource
Center, Seattle Indian Center, and Yesler Neighborhood Social Service Center
(Langston Hughes Center), was established to provide recreational activities
and cultural opportunities to neighborhood residents. Some centers primarily
served a particular population group (Seattle's Indian population was served by
the Seattle Indian Center, while the International District Center primarily
served the Asian population). Each center remained in existence after SMCP's
funding ended.
|
5414-04 : Neighborhood Multi-Service Centers, 1972-1974 0.2 cubic
foot
This project created neighborhood centers which provided a
variety of social services -- available from public and private agencies -- as
required by specific Model Neighborhood needs. Centers in Ballard-Fremont,
Rainier Valley, West Seattle, and the University District were known as "Little
City Halls," enabling many City departments and agencies to better serve their
patrons. The program received strong support from neighborhood residents, and
after SMCP funding ended, the program was renamed the Community Service Center
Program and funded by the General Fund.
|
5414-05 : Skid
Road Shelter and Food Project, 1969-1974 0.4 cubic
foot
This project operated a shelter, meal service, and social
service center in the Morrison Hotel in the Pioneer Square/Skid Road
neighborhood. In addition to food and shelter, the program also provided
counseling, referrals, and health services.
|
5414-06 : Child
Care Services Project, 1969-1974 2.0 cubic
ft.
This project provided child care for low-income and welfare
families, emphasizing education, health care, and nutrition. In 1969, less than
800 children were receiving regular child care in the Model Neighborhood area;
by the end of the project in June 1974, 5,000 children had been placed in day
care. Planned Variations neighborhoods were analyzed and services were provided
accordingly. SMCP operated several day care facilities of its own while
contracting with many others. The project continued after the termination of
SMCP's funding, and the need for organized child care was brought to the
attention of both the city and the state.
|
5414-07 : Aid to
Dependent Children (ADC) Mothers' Council Project, 1969-1971
0.2 cubic
foot
At the initiation of this project, 8,000 Seattle residents
were on welfare. Beginning in 1969, the SMCP provided funding to the ADC
Motivated Mothers Council project, which had been formed in the 1960s as a
local chapter of the National Welfare Rights Organization. The Council's
mission was to facilitate communication between welfare recipients and welfare
system offices, to encourage residents to initiate change in the system, and to
give recipients a sense of involvement and power in their dealings with the
welfare system. The SMCP's funding enabled expansion of the project's staff and
resources. These resources went toward improving the welfare system and
providing services for recipients, including health services and legal
assistance. Although an initial lack of organizational leadership meant that
few of the Council's goals were obtained, the project was later reorganized and
received funding from HUD.
|
5415-01 : Early
Childhood Education Center, 1971-1973 0.2 cubic
foot
The project, implemented at Seattle School District #1 and
staffed by Seattle Public School teachers, had goals of providing
individualized instruction with attention to learning styles and speeds; using
the non-graded continuous progress method of teaching; emphasizing individual
instruction in the home as well as at school; and maintaining both racial and
socioeconomic diversity. Students at the new Harrison School showed improved
test scores, and families attracted by the school's success began to move into
the neighborhood. This resulted in a change in the diversity of the school's
student body: fewer minority and lower-income students attended as the
neighborhood became more middle-class.
|
5415-02 : Seattle
Career Opportunity Program-Education (SCOPE), 1970-1973 0.4 cubic
foot
This project encouraged Model Neighborhood residents to seek
employment in the Seattle Public School system; by doing so, it hoped to create
a group of racially and culturally diverse teachers and administrators who
could better serve the needs of their students. SCOPE members received
scholarships to pay living expenses while training as teacher's aides, and a
scale of advancement based on college coursework was waived in favor of more
practical competence evaluations. Trainees also received scholarships to fund
bachelor's degrees in education, and received career counseling. The program
allowed SCOPE students to experience both academic classes and practical
teaching experience.
|
5415-03 : Occupational Skills Development, 1970-1972 0.4 cubic
foot
This program, designed for students not planning to attend
college, provided training in fourteen vocational areas, including child care,
barbering, auto mechanics, food services, carpentry, and clothing design and
creation. Skilled workers in each occupation provided instruction. By 1972,
over half of the Garfield High School student body was enrolled, and community
businesses (such as a day care, a section of the school's cafeteria, and a
clothing boutique) allowed students to apply their new vocational skills.
|
5415-04 : Extended
Services Program, 1969-1974 0.8 cubic
foot
The program was designed to serve middle-school-aged
dropouts and suspended students by providing an alternative school environment.
The target students were often from low-income families and had serious medical
and personal needs; furthermore, many students were behind in school, lacking
even basic academic skills. The project hoped to return students to a
traditional school setting if possible, but also provided continuing education
and occupational skills. Improvement of test scores was another important goal.
A health care program was also created, providing medical examinations as well
as educating students about nutrition, drugs and alcohol, and sex. A majority
of students enrolled in the program were able to return to a traditional school
environment.
|
5415-05 : Model
Neighborhood Middle Schools Project, 1969-1973 0.8 cubic
foot
The SMCP provided funding to assist in the planning and
implementation of the Seattle School District's Middle School program. The
program, created in 1971, hoped to improve students' academic achievement by
adding new material and using continuous progress and individualized teaching
styles. Teachers were provided with special training in relations between
ethnic groups and in the workings of the continuous progress teaching method.
Desegregation of schools was an important issue in the planning of the program:
the "4-4-4" redistribution of students into elementary, middle, and high school
groups facilitated desegregation and required that students be bussed to other
neighborhoods. Despite opposition from many residents, students were bussed to
the new middle schools in 1971.
|
5415-06 : Central
Area School Council, 1972-1974 0.067 cubic
foot
This purpose of the Central Area School Council was to
promote community involvement with schools and to foster better relations
between parents and school district administration. Issues such as school
violence and the desegregation plan were of particular importance. Through the
Council, the community could be involved in the creation of policies affecting
Model Neighborhood students (regardless of whether the students attended school
in the Model Neighborhood). The Council resulted in a change in the way
decisions were made and served as the inspiration for other councils in the
area. Although the Central Area School Council had to be consulted before any
major policy decisions were made, other councils did not have the same
authority.
|
5415-07 : Central
Area Motivation Program--Educational Talent Search, 1972-1973
0.067 cubic
foot
This project was designed to train Model Neighborhood
residents as college counselors. Once trained, the eleven counselors contacted
nearly 800 Model Neighborhood students, arranging campus visits and providing
counseling. Seventy-five of these students received financial aid to attend
colleges or universities, while others were further assisted by other programs
such as New Careers.
|
5415-08 : Campi
Preschool Transportation Project, 1970-1974 0.067 cubic
foot
The CAMPI Satellite Preschools operated a daily preschool
program for 270 students in the Central Area. With assistance from the SMCP,
Seattle Public Schools contracted with Seattle King County Economic Opportunity
Board to provide twelve busses and drivers. The project was intended to improve
school attendance, facilitate desegregation, and help parents become more
actively involved. One parent from each of the nine preschools participated in
the Satellite Parent Advisory Committee.
|
5415-09 : Educational Development Program, 1969-1974 0.4 cubic
foot
Based on proposals from Model Neighborhood citizens, the
SMCP began work with the Seattle Public Schools to improve teachers' relations
with students and parents from varied ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds, as
well as to facilitate communication between school officials and students and
parents. Diversity of learning styles was also an important consideration. The
Seattle Public Schools' Building Task Forces (one for each of the nine
participating schools) included teachers, parents, and students. Their intent
was to determine students' needs and create and implement a program to meet
those needs. Program Development Committee members included representatives
from the schools as well as from various task forces. This group would
recommend changes based on data from each school. This plan, however, was
changed because of time limitations, and the project instead focused on
creating specific programs in categories such as Basic Skills, Multi-Ethnic,
and Community Resources. The goals of curriculum expansion and diverse teaching
methods were met. Strong citizen involvement with School District planning and
policymaking was considered an important outcome of the project.
|
5415-10 : English
as a Second Language Program, 1972-1973 0.4 cubic
foot
Because many Asian-American residents of the Model
Neighborhoods did not speak or write English well, the SMCP encouraged Seattle
Public Schools and local community colleges to create programs to serve their
needs; the goal of the project was to help students reach a level of competency
with English that would enable them to function in school, at work, and in the
community. Furthermore, another goal was to assist students in resolving their
cultural identities. With the advice of the Greater Seattle Asian American
Council (GSAAC), the Seattle Public schools created an ESL project. This
differed in several ways from their already-existent TESOL program, which was
not endorsed by the GSAAC or the SMCP. The new ESL program allowed instructors
to speak in both English and the native language, while TESOL had allowed
instructors to speak only English. Other features of the new ESL program
included teachers of Asian background, classes for each language group (as
opposed to TESOL's policy of placing students from many language groups in one
class), and allowing both adults and children to attend. Students in the
program showed improved scores on language tests, and, by 1976, the Seattle
School District was spending $1 million per year on ESL programs.
|
5416-01 : Economic
Resource Development Project, 1969-1974 1.2 cubic
ft.
The Economic Resource Development (ERD) project was designed
to assist Model Neighborhood business owners by providing fee-based services
such as loan packaging, loan guarantees, and counseling in the areas of
management and accounting. The project was slow to start and the number of
clients quite low; to offset this, SMCP also helped to fund the Minority
Enterprise Small Business Investment Corporation (MESBIC). Because SMCP funds
were reduced in the final Action Year, funding for ERD and MESBIC did not
continue.
|
5416-02 : Construction Industry Development Project, 1968-1974
0.4 cubic
foot
This project was designed to assist and strengthen Model
Neighborhood contractors while also increasing jobs for other Model
Neighborhood residents; services included assisting contractors in becoming
bondable and facilitating their interactions with the Associated General
Contractors and with labor unions. Loans and loan guarantees were made to
twenty contractors in the Model Neighborhood; this funding was provided to help
contractors become bondable and to help them purchase materials. Although the
contractors received several million dollars' worth of business, problems with
financial and management issues often prevented work from going ahead.
|
5416-03 : City
Economic Development Program (Office of Economic Development), 1972-1973
0.4 cubic
foot
In 1971, Seattle was immersed in its worst-ever recession as
a result of the "Boeing Bust." In that year, Planned Variation money was used
to create the Office of Economic Development. This organization's goals were to
promote the development of new and existing industries in the Seattle area, as
well as to reduce Model Neighborhood and Seattle unemployment and to assist
existing businesspeople in the Model Neighborhoods. Activities such as research
and data analysis, information dissemination, promotional activities, small
business assistance, and development and preservation of businesses were some
OED functions. Some of its goals were achieved when a Japanese chemical company
decided to build a facility in Seattle, generating hundreds of construction and
other jobs. Seattle was also promoted as a production location for movies and
television; this provided jobs, put money into the local economy, and had a
positive effect on tourism. An improved relationship between city government
and the business community was another important outcome of the project. After
SMCP funding ended, OED remained in the Department of Community Development for
one year.

5417-01 : Contract
and Employee Compliance Project, 1969-1974 0.6 cubic
foot
The SMCP helped to fund staff and operational costs of the
Contract Compliance Division of the Human Rights Department. The division's
responsibility was to enforce Ordinance 98386, which was intended to increase
the proportion of minority employees in construction work. The Contract
Compliance Division worked to promote affirmative action by vendors by
attending pre-contract award conferences, dealing with complaints, and
investigating the progress of the city in implementing affirmative action. By
1972, minority employees in construction projects equaled 20% of the total
number of employees. After a 1973 evaluation of the program's effectiveness,
the Contract Compliance Division was funded by the City General Fund the
following year.
|
5417-02 : Seattle
Model Cities Intern Project, 1969-1973 0.2 cubic
foot
This project provided entry-level employment for Model
Neighborhood residents through internships in neighborhood planning,
administrative and management positions, and other positions including planning
interns, clerks, and secretaries with the SMCP. This program was intended to
enlarge and improve the pool of community members with planning, management,
and administrative skills. Interns received on-the-job training under the
supervision of SMCP staff, and some attended college while participating in the
program. The SMCP provided special training sessions on topics such as
budgeting, community relations, and governmental processes. The majority of
interns felt the program was a positive and helpful experience.
|
5417-03 : Employment Unicenter Project, 1969-1974 0.8 cubic
foot
Although many agencies provided job training and employment
referral services in the Model Neighborhood, the lack of coordination between
these agencies resulted in frustration and service gaps for job-seeking
clients. The Mayor and Governor created the Joint Manpower Board (JMB) which
facilitated joint discussion and planning among agencies. The SMCP funded the
Unicenter, an administrative staff unit serving the JMB. Difficulties occurred
because no one could force an agency to follow new policies or participate in
plans created by the JMB; furthermore, the program was plagued by conflict
between the agencies on the board and the Unicenter staff. These conflicts were
beginning to be resolved when the project ended. The Unicenter, however,
succeeded in facilitating some client services, and its work with the Manpower
Area Planning Council set the stage for a more cooperative and consortial way
of providing manpower services.
|
5417-04 : Public
Service Careers Program, 1970-1973 0.4 cubic
foot
The Public Service Careers program was designed to provide
job training and marketable skills for residents of the Model Neighborhood; a
supplementary goal was to increase the number of minorities in the work force.
The program focused on getting residents out of dead-end jobs by giving them
further training, as well as on training residents for jobs with long-term
opportunities. SMCP funds assisted the program in training minority employees
as fire fighters in the Seattle Fire Department.
|
5417-05 : Seattle
Opportunities Industrialization Center Skills Center, 1971-1974
0.4 cubic
foot
SMCP's funding and federal grants helped to build the Skills
Center for the private, non-profit Seattle Opportunities Industrialization
Center; previously, the program had been located in two separate facilities.
The construction plan involved heavy participation of Model Neighborhood
contractors and construction workers; the construction bid mandated a certain
ratio of experienced workers to minority trainees. The SOIC Skills Center and
the Medgar Evers Pool were the only major facilities constructed in and for the
Model Neighborhood during the Model Cities Program.
|
5417-06 : Scholarship Project, 1970-1974 0.8 cubic
foot
Between 1970 and 1974, the SMCP Scholarship Project granted
477 scholarships to Model Neighborhood residents who would otherwise have been
unable to attend college or university. The Scholarship Committee worked with
the Washington State Financial Aid Association, and a Model Cities
representative sat on the Washington State Higher Education Authority
Committee, which approved loan applications for Washington students.
Scholarships were awarded to residents in the East Branch Model Neighborhood;
residents of other areas who had been active in Model Neighborhood activities
were eligible as well. Scholarship recipients were required to donate three
hours of time per month to working with SMCP Planning Task Forces.
|
5417-07 : United
Construction Workers Association Project, 1969-1973 0.2 cubic
foot
This project was designed to increase minority employment in
the construction industry through affirmative action, manpower services, and
aid to government agencies responsible for contract compliance. The United
Construction Workers Association facilitated minority workers' membership in
construction trade unions by assisting contract compliance officers, developing
training and apprenticeship programs, and advocated for minority membership in
publicly funded construction programs. The UWCA also assisted in increasing
minority membership in local trade unions to meet minimum requirements. Their
efforts were not limited to unions; the UWCA also facilitated the hiring of
minority workers at Seattle City Light.
|
5417-08 : Manpower
Services Project, 1972-1973 0.4 cubic
foot
The Manpower Services Project was designed specifically to
benefit the Planned Variation neighborhood of Southeast Seattle. The project
had two major parts: first, employment counseling and referral services were
provided at the North Branch Office and later at the North Multi-Service
Center. Part two of the plan was the Southeast Manpower Opportunity Center,
which sought to remedy the high unemployment rate among Asian-American
residents of the neighborhood. The Center was run by the Employment
Opportunities Center, a group of Asian community and business leaders. Career
counseling, support, and job referral services were provided. The staff was
multi-lingual, and their translation services soon became a major draw to those
needing assistance in filling out forms. In 1975, the Employment Opportunities
Center managed the Vietnamese Resettlement Program.
|
5417-09 : Industrial Workshop/Social Service Complex, 1969-1973
0.4 cubic
foot
The Seattle Central Area Industrial Workshop was a light
metal machine shop which served as a job skills training area for unemployed
Model Neighborhood residents. Despite contracts with Boeing and the Parks
Department, the workshop struggled with absenteeism and keeping workers in the
program, and SMCP funding was terminated in 1973. The board of directors went
on to change the workshop's focus; rather than serving the unemployed, it
served developmentally disabled individuals, receiving grants and loans from
other agencies.
|
5417-10 : Management Intern Program, 1970-1973 0.2 cubic
foot
The Management Intern Program, or TOP-IT (Technical,
Organizational, Professional Intern Training), as it was more commonly known,
intended to increase employment opportunities and incomes for Model
Neighborhood residents. Twenty-one interns were placed with employers committed
to the project and to affirmative action, such as the Bon Marche and Kenworth
Motors; the program subsidized one-half of the employee's pay if the employer
requested it, and interns were given time during the work week to attend
classes. TOP-IT also assisted interns in buying books and paying tuition and
developed supplemental training in connection with employers.
|
5417-11 : Consumer
Protection Project, 1970-1974 0.2 cubic
foot
This project was intended to study the feasibility of
creating an office for consumer affairs in City government and to secure grant
funding. Lack of knowledge regarding money management, tenant-landlord
relationships, and comparative buying practices, as well as a desire to reduce
fraudulent activity by businesspeople, were cited as reasons for creating a
consumer protection office. This office would attempt to reduce fraudulent
business practices, educate and represent Model Neighborhood consumers, and
support legislative reform. A Consumer Protection Unit of the Seattle Police
Department was also proposed. Consumer protection became an important issue at
the city and state levels.
|
5418-01 : Seattle
Housing Development Corporation, 1969-1974 1.0 cubic
foot
The Seattle Housing Development Corporation (SHD) was
created to increase the number of available low and moderate income housing
units in the Model Neighborhood and to provide housing planning. Although it
did not provide housing directly, SHD coordinated the efforts of other housing
projects and provided counseling. Because the city itself did not have the
legal authority to provide financing to help residents secure housing or to
make improvements to existing housing, SMCP worked with the city to pass a
state law that allowed the creation of public corporations which could perform
these activities, and through which city policies could be carried out. SHD was
the first of these corporations.
|
5418-02 : Home
Repair Service Project, 1970-1973 0.4 cubic
foot
The purpose of this program was to train Model Neighborhood
residents in the skills necessary to make minor repairs to their homes, as well
as to provide financial assistance for these repairs. The program was designed
to improve the quality of neighborhood structures. The high cost of materials
and the extent of damages to homes limited the program's ability to provide
services to all who requested them. The project later served the Planned
Variation neighborhoods as well.
|
5418-03 : Housing
Demonstration Project, 1969-1973 2.0 cubic
feet
This project was intended to develop new housing in the
Model Neighborhood. In 1969, funds were committed for the building of twelve
new housing units; however, the project came to a halt when HUD froze 235
housing funds. In 1973, the project assisted in the purchase of the Texada
Apartment Building, which was renovated to serve as housing for low-income
elderly Model Neighborhood residents. Records include correspondence with
FHA.
|
5418-04 : Leased
Housing Project, 1969-1972 0.2 cubic
foot
The SMCP worked with the Seattle Housing Authority to
provide low-income Model Neighborhood residents eligible for public housing
with the opportunity to live in single-family dwellings. Rental fees over and
above the SHA's fees were subsidized using funds from HUD, and 155 houses were
rented in 1969 and 1970; 525 residents had received housing by the time the
project ended in 1972. The SHA also provided counseling and assistance in
housing-related matters.
|
5418-05 : Tenant
Organization Project, 1969-1971 0.2 cubic
foot
Project to organize East Model Neighborhood tenants, to
provide legal counsel in addressing tenant-landlord problems, and to advocate
for changes in landlord-tenant legislation. Although a tenants' organization
was formed, it was later abandoned. However, a landlord-tenant bill was passed
in 1973, in part due to the efforts of SMCP's Legal Services.
|
5418-06 : Holly
Park Redevelopment Project, 1972-1974 0.1 cubic
foot
The Holly Park Redevelopment Project planned to help the
Seattle Housing Authority (SHA) renovate and revitalize a 1940s public housing
complex in the Southeast Model Neighborhood. This project received Planned
Variations funding. A plan was developed for modernizing and renovating the
complex, and a tenant organization in the complex was formed to involve
residents in the process. The plan was in line with the SMCP's policy of
renovating existing buildings rather than building new ones. Although the
redevelopment plans were made, funds ran out and the construction could not be
completed.
|
5418-07 : High
Point Redevelopment Project, 1972-1974 0.1 cubic
foot
The High Point Redevelopment Project planned to help the
Seattle Housing Authority (SHA) renovate and revitalize a 1940s public housing
complex in the Southwest Model Neighborhood. This project received Planned
Variations funding. A plan was developed for modernizing and renovating the
complex, and a tenant organization in the complex was formed to involve
residents in the process. The plan was in line with the SMCP's policy of
renovating existing buildings rather than building new ones. Although the
redevelopment plans were made, funds ran out and the construction could not be
completed.
|
5419-01 : Relocation Program, 1969-1974 0.4 cubic
foot
This program was designed to assist in relocation of Model
Neighborhood residents and businesses displaced by SMCP or other public action.
Its goal was to help residents find appropriate and affordable housing, to
assist businesses in moving to new locations that were economically viable, and
to ensure that families and businesses received the maximum relocation
reimbursement. The program was operated by the Department of Community
Development, and a Relocation Advisory Committee included SMCP staff, staff
from other involved agencies, and Model Neighborhood residents.
|
5420-01 : Mini-Tran Project, 1969-1974 0.4 cubic
foot
This project made Model Neighborhood activity and service
centers more accessible through convenient and inexpensive public
transportation which did not duplicate the existing Seattle Transit routes.
Although Seattle Transit did serve the Model Neighborhood area, the level of
service did not suffice during busy times, and transfers were difficult. Many
social and health service agencies cited clients' lack of transportation as a
major obstacle in providing their services. By the project's end, SMCP's
Mini-Tran service transported 1,300 passengers per day in their ten
12-passenger Econoline vans, which operated six days per week on four routes.
Surveys indicated that residents used Mini-Tran more frequently than Seattle
Transit for several purposes, the most important among them being social and
health services. Although rider response was positive, the program was not
cost-effective and was terminated in 1973.
|
5420-02 : Bus
Shelters Project, 1971-1974 0.1 cubic
foot
SMCP funds were used to build five bus stop shelters in the
East Model Neighborhood. Lack of safe and dry shelters had been identified as a
problem in the neighborhoods. The shelters were planned with the input of
residents and METRO transit; the project was part of the Utilities Upgrade
program.
|
5420-03 : Special
Transportation Services Project, 1972-1974 0.1 cubic
foot
Planned Variation saw the development of two special
transportation services. The first of these was the Center Park bus, a vehicle
equipped for handicapped, especially wheelchair, access. The SMCP funded driver
training and bus purchase, and the Seattle Housing Authority funded the bus
operation. The second service provided door-to-door van transportation to
elderly passengers at a charge of fifty cents per ride; this program became
part of the Comprehensive Services for the Elderly Project.
|
5420-04 : Transportation Study, 1969-1974 0.4 cubic
foot
A study of public transportation in the East Model
Neighborhood was intended to assess transportation needs, problems, and
solutions for residents. The study was conducted by Alan M. Voorhees and
Associates. The report describes the methods of the study and its findings,
including socioeconomic conditions, transportation needs, and existing
services. Recommendations included modification and continuation of the
Mini-Tran service, improvement of other existing services, subsidization of
transportation, improved options for riders with special needs (such as the
elderly or handicapped), and the suggestion that the SMCP assist Model
Neighborhood residents in purchasing cars of their own. Special attention was
given to developing alternatives for the proposed I-90 freeway route.
|
5421-01 : Parks
Development - East, 1969-1974 0.8 cubic
foot
This project upgraded East Model Neighborhood parks and
recreational facilities as well as constructing new ones; six new parks were
built, while four existing parks and many other recreational areas were
rehabilitated. The Madrona Bathhouse and Pioneer Square Park are important
examples of this rehabilitation project. The Medgar Evers pool, which later
became a separate project, began as part of the Parks Development - East
project. It was the first Forward Thrust pool in Seattle, and its completion
had a positive effect on community perceptions of the project.
|
5421-02 : Parks
Development - Southeast, 1971-1973 0.05 cubic
foot
This project redeveloped the Brighton and Van Asselt
playfields, installing lighting, building ballfields, improving play equipment,
and landscaping. The shelter house at Brighton Playfield was also remodeled.
|
5421-03 : Parks
Development - Southwest, 1971-1973 0.05 cubic
foot
Delridge Playfield, Highland Park Playfield, South Park
Playfield, and the South Park Fieldhouse were redeveloped and renovated with
SMCP and Forward Thrust funding.
|
5421-04 : West
Seattle Reservoir Land Acquisition, 1971-1973 0.05 cubic
foot
The objective of this project was to acquire the 78-acre
West Seattle Reservoir property. In 1968, the Forward Thrust Bond Issue
authorized the area's development as a park and urban open space. Although
funds were set aside for development, no money was available for the property's
purchase at the time. SMCP funds were used to finance the property's purchase
by the Parks Department from the Water Department.
|
5421-05 : Parks
Development - North, 1971-1973 0.05 cubic
foot
The B.F. Day and Ross playgrounds and the Ballard and Gilman
playfields were upgraded; upgrades included lighting, play area improvement,
and drainage improvement. Four new tennis courts were also constructed.
|
5421-06 : El
Centro de la Raza, 1971-1974 0.4 cubic
foot
SMCP funds provided the opportunity to remodel an old
school and hire a staff to provide a variety of services to Spanish-speaking
Model Neighborhood residents. El Centro de la Raza (The Center of the People)
continues to provide cultural, social, and public health services.
|
5422-01 : Program
Management System Project, 1970-1973 0.8 cubic
foot
This project, managed by the Office of Management and
Budget, designed, developed, and implemented a city-wide computer-based program
planning, budgeting, and management information system. A complicated Program
Management System computer program had been written in 1969, but difficulties
in using this system necessitated the development of a new and more efficient
replacement. The new program was successful, allowing for more efficient and
structured program planning by SMCP staff. A similar system was implemented by
City Light shortly thereafter. SMCP was also innovative in creating written
work programs for its projects, enabling monitoring of the programs.
|
5422-02 : Office
of Executive Policy, 1972-1973 0.2 cubic
foot
This project created an office which coordinated city-wide
planning and policy development, reviewed and directed priorities, and
strengthened interdepartmental relations. The Office of Policy Planning (OPP)
was created using Planned Variation funds and staffed by personnel from city
departments; by 1973, it was run by the Deputy Mayor, and its original staff of
12 was expanded to a staff of 41 in 1974. With this expansion in staff came
expanded responsibilities, and the OPP began to deal with land use, energy
conservation, housing, human resources, and many other issues.
|
5422-03 : Information and Evaluation Project, 1969-1974 0.4 cubic
foot
Evaluation was considered an important component of each
Model Cities program. Evaluations could be conducted by SMCP staff or by
contract with other agencies or firms; a combination of the two approaches
might also be used. The evaluation project intended to build upon existing
evaluation techniques utilized by other City agencies. Information was
disseminated by the Public Information Unit through press releases in and news
articles in the SMCP's publications and in local Model Neighborhood
publications, and a variety of information resources were made available at the
SMCP's library and Central Files. Project Monitoring Files also included
important statistics and reports regarding each project.
|
5423-01 :
Neighborhood Renewal and Housing Rehabilitation Project, 1970-1974
1.2 cubic
feet
The project helped to fund a variety of programs and
agencies with the goal of enhancing the environmental quality of Model
Neighborhoods through improvement and development projects, including housing
rehabilitation. The program hoped to foster a sense of neighborhood pride in
residents, and several projects contributed to the effort. The Federally
Assisted Code Enforcement Program (FACE) was a three-year program which planned
to bring a group of structures in the Jefferson Neighborhood up to City
Building Code standard. Loans and grants were made available to homeowners, and
beautification programs were also created. Although the project was more
expensive than had been anticipated, every building within a nine-block radius
was up to code or was on its way by 1974. The Urban Services Center, home of
the Seattle Urban League and other social service agencies, was partially
funded by the SMCP, and the Unity 71 project improved a Model Neighborhood Park
by building a housing development and creating a park.
|
5423-02
: Pioneer
Square Upgrading, 1972-1974 0.2 cubic
foot
This project was designed to improve and upgrade the
Pioneer Square area by landscaping, paving, lighting, and developing the area
in ways consistent with historic preservation criteria for the district. SMCP
money was used to match contributions from federal and local agencies as well
as private donors; local businesses began to invest in improvements of the area
as well. Improvements included alley cobbling, a landscaped median strip,
street lights with historic motifs, and a pedestrian mall near Occidental Park.
|
5423-03 : Utilities Upgrading - Southeast, 1972-1974 0.067 cubic
foot
This project improved street lighting in a busy portion of
the Southeast Model Neighborhood; elderly residents had been particularly
affected by the poor lighting in the neighborhood, which heightened danger both
from criminal activity and from traffic. At first financed by SMCP, the new
lights and energy costs were then added to the city budget.
|
5423-04 :
Utilities Upgrading - Southwest, 1972-1974 0.067 cubic
foot
The lack of a sanitary sewer system in the Southwest Model
Neighborhood affected more than just health and sanitation; the neighborhood's
reliance on septic tanks also meant that the Health Department was less likely
approve new housing developments and that the city was reluctant to pave
streets in the area. SMCP and other city funds were used to begin the city's
plan of eliminating septic tanks in the neighborhood by 1979; by the end of
1973, 100 houses were connected to the new sewer system.
|
5423-05 : Utilities Upgrading - North, 1971-1974 0.067 cubic
foot
This project intended to build a new storm drainage system
for the North Greenwood area; its lack of proper drainage created a problem
with stagnant water, and no improvements had been made to streets or sidewalks.
The SMCP, Neighborhood Improvement Program, and Neighborhood Development
Program contributed funds for a storm drainage system. which was to be designed
and built by the Seattle Engineering Department. The project was finished in
1973.
|
5423-06 : Street
and Safety Improvement Project, 1971-1973 0.067 cubic
foot
Street improvements were an important safety concern in
both the Southeast and Southwest Model Neighborhoods. The Pioneer Square area
was also in need of lighting improvement. The SMCP funded sidewalk
construction, installation, and replacement in the Southeast neighborhood;
sidewalks and crosswalk signals in the Southwest neighborhood; and improvement
of street lights in Pioneer Square.
|
5423-07 : Greenbelt Acquisition, 1972-1973 0.067 cubic
foot
This project assisted in the acquisition of three
greenbelts in the Southwest Model Neighborhood. The greenbelts were intended to
serve as "buffer zones" between industrial and residential areas in the area.
|
5423-08 : Residential Traffic Diverter System, 1972-1973
0.067
cubic foot
This project placed landscaped traffic diverters in the
Stevens Neighborhood with the intention of increasing safety as well as the
neighborhood's attractiveness. With the previous street layout, cars often
passed through the area at volumes and speeds unsafe for pedestrians. The
diverters slowed and managed traffic in the area.
|
5423-09 : Model
Neighborhood Land Use Planning Project, 1969-1974 1.8 cubic
feet
This project contracted with two firms to analyze the
land-use patterns in the East Model Neighborhood and provide recommendations
for improvements to housing, commercial, and recreational land-use. The review
and recommendations would be completed with citizen participation. A draft
land-use plan was written in 1971, and the final plan, with citizen review, was
finished in 1973. The Model Cities Land-Use Review Board (MCLURB) was created
in 1969; its seven members included SMCP officials, an architect, and urban
planner, and representatives from the Housing and Physical Environment Task
Force and Planning Committee of the Central Seattle Community Council. MCLURB
dealt with applications for rezoning, conditional use, special variances, and
planned unit development; these applications were forwarded to MCLURB by the
City Planning Commission, and MCLURB's recommendations were followed by the
board and City Council on 85% to 90% of applications. MCLURB could consider
social criteria when making decisions, and its recommendations were also
important in the final land-use plan created for the neighborhood.
|
5423-10 :
Utilities Upgrading - East, 1969-1974 0.8 cubic
foot
This project was designed to improve the attractiveness and
stability of the neighborhood, foster neighborhood pride, and further the
area's reputation as a safe and comfortable residential neighborhood. The East
Model Neighborhood utilities upgrades included utilities undergrounding (in the
Leschi area), sidewalk improvements, landscaping and tree planting, lighting
improvements (in streets and alleys and in the International District),
construction of bus shelters, and the construction of a traffic barrier.
|
5424-01 : Neighborhood Development Program - Project Area Council,
1971-1973 0.1 cubic
foot
Citizens of the Leschi neighborhood became involved in its
Neighborhood Development Program through the Leschi Project Area Council. The
aims of the Council were to involve citizens in "property maintenance, law
enforcement, public order, social services, and public relations." The Council
created committees to deal with specific issues, organized events and
activities, and published a monthly newsletter. The program itself was a
renewal and restoration project focusing on housing rehabilitation and
improvements.
|
5424-02 : Citizen
Training Program, 1971-1972 0.1 cubic
foot
The Model Cities Program contracted with the Washington
State Planning and Community Affairs Agency for the latter to provide
orientation for the staff and instructors of the SMCP and citizen task force
training committee, as well as for citizen task force trainees. Initial
sessions covered SMCP history, goals, objectives, and training program
procedures. A curriculum of training sessions was also created, focusing on
government, education, economics, and the family; these sessions involved a
combination of lecture, demonstration, and role playing.
|
5424-03 : Citizen
Participation Project, 1968-1974 0.8 cubic
foot
This project developed means for Model Neighborhood
residents' involvement in planning, monitoring, and directing public service
activities in the neighborhoods. It was intended to give citizens skills and
experience in working with various agencies and to allow training by and
interaction with SMCP and City staff. Citizen participation options included
task forces and planning committees, which could be set up by citizens to
discuss any topic of interest and to make recommendations. These
recommendations went to the Branch Advisory Councils (each Model Neighborhood
had its own), which consisted of representatives from organizations in the
neighborhood. This council reviewed the planning committees' recommendations.
Overseeing it all was the Combined Citizens Advisory Council, which consisted
of representatives from each Branch Advisory Council.
|
5424-04 :
Washington State Citizen Participation Project, 1972-1973 0.2 cubic
foot
This project, funded by SMCP and the State Department of
Planning Community Affairs, trained Model Neighborhood residents in leadership
and management skills required for effective work on Citizen Participation Task
Forces and Advisory Councils. The objectives of the program were to improve
career mobility for trainees, to provide formal courses and practical training,
and to involve trainees in recruiting Model Neighborhood residents to
participate in SMCP planning committees and councils. A similar program was
also created for college-age interns. Interns and trainees participated in
management and planning activities, including data collection, evaluation, and
monitoring of programs. Training sessions for "meaningful citizen
participation" were also provided to Model Neighborhood residents in the
interest of educating citizens about the structure of government and about the
workings of the Model Cities Program.
