Truman Signals Housing Program for 1947 Aims to Produce Results
President Truman pledges a vigorous housing program in 1947 after consulting real estate and construction leaders. He says methods will yield results and allows nonveterans to build only if they intend to live in the new dwelling. Rental ceilings shift to an $80 average per unit for new housing with some nonresidential building leeway. Veterans’ needs remain a priority with more family units for rent and continued construction priorities nationwide.
