Senate OKs housing bill with rent subsidies
The Senate approved a $7.5 billion omnibus housing bill by voice vote sending it to the House and then to President Johnson. The key feature is a rent subsidy plan aimed at aiding low income families, projecting about 375,000 new apartment units over four years. The package also funds urban renewal, public housing, college dormitory loans, and federal grants for water and sewer facilities. Subsidies target public housing eligible families, with payment rules and nonprofit sponsors.
