Senate panel cites 33 years of federal housing failure
The Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs says federal policy worsened the housing shortage by destroying more homes than built and subsidizing substandard housing. It accuses FHA of discriminatory policies that starved central cities of insured loans, contributing to urban decline and social ills. Senator George S. McGovern proposes a new Emergency Rural Home Development Administration to ensure basic housing and facilities in towns of 25 000 or less within five years.
