House Bill Funds Great Society Programs in 1965 Start
The 269 to 122 House vote approved funds to launch two Great Society initiatives, the rent subsidy program for low income tenants and the Teachers Corps. An amendment to cut the rent subsidy failed 198 to 190 with GOP support split, while the Teachers Corps funding lost 156 to 128. Government rents would pay part of the subsidy but not go to private landlords, and subsidies could be blocked by local approvals.
