Truman aims at housing by rent emphasis and private builds
President Truman unveils a new housing program shifting from federal control to private initiative. The plan allows individuals to build homes with simple permits, capping floor space around 1600 square feet and limiting price, with no inspection or standards, as officials forecast increased nonhousing construction and higher weekly material demand. Wyatt’s groundwork is cited as enabling the shift, with Creedon and Mc Foley named to housing roles and private sector real estate voices cheering the move.
