Tourist Homes Suggested by San Antonio War Chest Committee
A San Antonio war chest committee urged tourist homes to ease wartime housing strain. The panel found a blur between emergency and long term housing, with over 70 employed women and 100 single men turned away daily. Defense workers and families faced improper housing, while soldiers' families sought cheaper quarters. The group proposed community effort to match unused space and equipment, coordinated housing organizations, and discouraging large conventions to save housing for priority groups.
