Housing groups challenge Eisenhower housing plan
The National Housing Conference urged faster rural and urban housing expansion beyond the administration bill. It proposed building two million homes annually for six years to avert a low mood and to supply jobs, while criticizing slum clearance and calling for 200,000 public housing units yearly until slum families are decently housed. public housing chief Cole supported expansion while Stusser urged public housing as essential, warning substitutes won t work. A study warned 15 million families live in substandard dwellings and that current construction cannot fix slums by 1970.
