Truman housing reform plan fizzles amid complex proposals
President Truman sent a housing program to Congress while touring the Caribbean. Despite aims for 1 million units annually for 10 years, slum clearance, rural and rental housing, and new financing tools, Congress showed indifference. The plan included extending guarantees for construction loans, factory to site guarantees for prefabs, expanding Title VI loans, creating a secondary mortgage market, incentivizing private large-scale projects, and revising the 1937 public housing act to fund more low rent units.
