The government owns or is connected with the management of 856,601 dwelling units. They cost about three billion dollars to build and shelter more than two million persons a good deal more than the population of Con necticut. Tenants pav about 200 million dollars a year in rent. This vast enterprise is only a second-cousin to the veterans emergency housing program aimed at fretting 2,700,000 homes started this year and next. That is private, not public, housing. Based on Dual Purpose The government has become a landlord for two purposes: 1. Originally, to help local com munities build housing for those who could not pay enough rent to support private building. 2. Then, during the war, the government built 851,000 homes for war workers and others in war communities who were un able to get shelter any other way. This housing is being sold as rapidly as possible so the gov ernment can concentrate again on low-rent housing. FPHA has on its busy hands approximately 600,00 units of war housing mostly apartments in these main classifications. About 286,000 temporary units not suited for more than a few years' use; 174,000 permanent units being sold to occunants or to private investors; 9,000 units built bv the Defense Homes Cor poration and also available to private buyers: 51.000 units built with low-rent funds and now be ing taken over by local communi ties to onerate as low-rent prot ects; 35,000 trailers serving as temporary homes for veterans but due to be sold eventually by the Reconstruction, Finance Corp.: 54,000 units in converted structures leased by the Home Owners Loan Corporation and to be returned to the owners as quickly as leases expires. States Co-Operaing USHA, established in 1937, was able to do a little toward catch ing up with this "deficit" , before the war. It helped communities build 117.000 low-rent homes. which replaced about 107,000 slum dwellings. States passed legislation in or der to take Dart in this program. Then the states and communities financed their Droiects with fed eral assistance, USHA also pro vided technical advice and other services. The necessary laws are on the books in 40 states, and local hous ing authorities are operating in 448 cities and 368 rural counties. The National Mousing Act re ouires that dwellings built un der this nroeram cost less than $4,000 each in cities under 500,000 oopulation, and under $5,000 in larger cities. Slum dwellings must be demolished for each low rent nroiect completed. The weekly incomes of families admitted to the projects averaged $14.92 In 1940. Even after the general wartime rise in wage levels, the average . was only S23.83 in 1944. Rents are set gen erally at the level of slum rents in each community. Including utilities, thev range in average from $14.55 to $22.34 a month across the country. sister of Mrs. Luther Daugherty, Is staying at tne uauKiieny nume for a month to assist in taking care of her mother.
