PAGE SIX By Harris Ellsworth. M. C. After the required information has been obtained the local hous ing agency may file a formal ap plication with the Seattle office of the Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency. Section 301 (8) (a) of Title III of the law should be carefully noted also. The first proviso of this paragraph reads: “(a) the public housing agency shall fix maximum income limits for the admission and for the con tinued occupancy of families n such housing.” Wh' ‘ this all means is that under certain circumstances a community can mialify for the construction of some of those public housing unit buildings. When completed they may by occupied only by people who do not earn enough income to pay more than of the normal rent. If the head of any such fam- ily has the good luck or the tra energy to increase his in- come he will have to move his family elsewhere. This new law represents the first instance that I know of wherein the government singles out the very poor people of a community, places them in one building or a series of similar buildings and by their very pres ence as occupants of such build ings brands them as ‘poor people.’ If you feel I have over-stated the case in voicing my opposition to the administration housing bill, write me and I will glad j send a copy of the law and you can read the wording of it for yourself. Letters I have received recent ly from city officials in the Fourth Congressional district ind ate pretty clearly that the propa ,an- da drive which was carried on tor the recent ly-enacted public housing bill was misleading. Apparently the general impres sion is that cities large and small in any part of the United tSatos may have government money aid for the construction of h mses it such aid is requested. I expect it might be claimed that such an impression is technically correct But let’s take a look at the tech- localities. Here is the way ti»e new law operates: City officials must first make a careful study lor the purpose of finding out if a federal housing project is need ed. Then a local housing author ity must be organized under 1h? laws. survey of housing needs must be conducted. In order to qhalify for a federal project the facts developed in the survey must show the number of low income families needing the housing. It must also be shown that the incomes of these families are suoh as to make it impossible for them to pay the prevailing rents for privately-owned hous The house rejected what was ing. (Families who can pay 80r/ called sample or “trial run” or more of the prevailing rental of the widely publicized Brannan iafes cannot qualify).
