A housing committee, of which Mrs.
John D. Rockefeller, jr., is the chairman,
has charge of this branch of the work
of the Y. W. C. A. Land has already
been selected by the government for the
erection of several large dormitories
near the Union Station, and work on
these will be begun as soon as laborers
can be released from other government
work for the purpose. The Y. w. c. A.
will furnish plans for these buildings
and will pay for the services of a matron
and whatever other social or recreational
workers are needed to run them.
The Y. W. c. A. has already done
much toward making what housing facili-
ties Washington had available for these
women war workers. 1t has investigated
the lodging and boarding houses, and en-
tered those approved on the room regis
try kept at headquarters for the benefit
of the homeless. 1t has put up extra
cots in every available corner of it's own
building, and has sent a request to
families having an unused room to give
it for the temporary accommodation of
such war workers.
