Outlook on housing policy contrasts acts in 1949 and 1954
The Outlook notes the 1949 Housing Act aimed at a decent home for every American family but says the 1954 act shows Congress turned away from that goal. It credits postwar loan programs with boosting construction yet warns benefits are uneven and that public housing goals may not be met. The piece cites 15 million substandard dwellings and calls for two to 2.4 million new units annually through 1959 1965 plus 400 000 annual repairs to rehabilitate 46 million units.
