Housing Shortage for Low and Medium Income Families Stressed
Federal Housing Administrator Stewart McDonald cites a 1935 36 National Health Survey showing widespread overcrowding and inadequate sanitary facilities across 83 cities. He notes three million homes have too few rooms, with one million in crowded dwellings and seven hundred thousand in severely crowded conditions, urging more affordable housing construction. The report highlights that even families earning 1000 to 2000 dollars annually often live in substandard quarters, especially in smaller cities, and warns of over-building in higher brackets if the issue is not addressed.
