Additions, 1960-1962, consisting of correspondence related to the Triangle Urban Renewal Project and a 1960 survey conducted by the Neighborhood House to determine how many individuals and families would be displaced by the city of Madison's plans to replace existing homes with a modern apartment complex. The survey reveals that many of the affected residents owned their own homes, but were older and lacked income to relocate; Neighborhood House acted as an advocate for the displaced families.
