Housing Bill Likely To Pass In New Congress
Sen. McCarthy predicts Congress will pass two long range housing bills this year. He urges no government owned public housing and favors private enterprise as the main relief. The plan targets 1 5 million new dwellings in four years, with about 700 000 of them likely priced out unless prices fall or the government helps. He based this on hearings last fall and notes parallels to a prior Tall-Eilender-Wagner bill, except for public housing.
