Government Losses on Subsistence Homesteads Program
The government spent 28,700 on the subsistence homesteads, with 25 of 31 projects sold to tenants or associations. About 3,135 homes provided shelter for that many families, while FPHA now disposes of the properties under a wartime-suspended order. The program created varied communities and industries, including furniture, dairies, and mills, and remains a notable relief-era experiment.
