Private Builders Need Lures To Provide Defense Housing
AEC struggles to supply housing at its Savannah River and Paducah sites show private builders require government housing incentives. Existing measures, including relaxed credits and a $350 million FNMA reserve, failed to spur private construction. The Senate plan aims to supply about half the estimated 50,000 defense housing units with a $1.5 billion program.

Federal housing aid plan for defense workers strains private builders
A wartime housing program proposes 150 million in direct veteran loans, 75 million for government housing in critical areas with private industry given time to respond, 10 million revolving land fund near defense plants, and 16.6 million for community facilities. A Title IX II title VI shift would raise mortgage insurance to 90 percent to spur private construction.
