Washington reports the housing shortage remains the nation’s most acute problem and will worsen next year due to veterans returning, expected marriages and births, and limited construction. Experts foresee 475,000 houses at best under favorable conditions in 1946, with relief not until 1948. Programs proposed by Wagner Ellender Taft aim to aid middle income and low rent housing with higher FHA insurance, longer amortization, and federal loans for urban redevelopment and farm housing.
