Truman loosens housing controls to aid veteran rentals
President Truman orders a broad decontrol of housing programs to boost private and public rental construction. The move relaxes price and material restrictions, allows veterans and others to build for own occupancy with government permission, and aims to sustain a postwar housing drive despite unresolved questions about ongoing projects and future goals.
Local Builders Approve Action on Housing Controls
Lubbock builders and contractors praise President Truman's move to wipe out housing priorities and lift the sales ceiling on new homes. They say it will ease financial hardship, spur rental housing, and help both veterans and non veterans to build or rent homes as old homes are released for rentals. Lumber dealer S. L. Forrest cites national housing conference sentiment supporting the policy shift.
