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.
