Five Million Homes Shortage in U S
Washington Aug 26 PWA housing experts estimate the United States faces a shortage of about 5.6 million new homes to raise living standards to 1930 levels. They project 135,000 low income families could gain homes in three years via federal loans, while private builders show little participation. Population growth, slower postwar building, overcrowding, migration, and declining marriage rates drive the need. many new units replace worn out stock rather than add new quarters.
