Relocation Debate Stirs Over Slum Cleanup Program
Washington discussion centers on relocation success and how to improve housing aid as Congress weighs bills. Bill Slayton of the Urban Renewal Administration touts an 80 percent relocation success rate, while Rep. Widnall cites a Connecticut study showing many displaced families received no help or were moved to other troubled areas. The GOP and Administration propose rules on funding, rent supplements, and moving expenses to speed, expand, or constrain relocation assistance.
