Shortage Of Houses
For Low-|ncome
Families Studied
Problem Of Persons
Routed by U. S. Building
Program Taken Up

The shortage of housing for low
income families created partially
by the 1eveling Of residential areas
to make way for new Government
buildings was disclosed yesterday at
a meeting of the Board of Directors,
Washington Housing Association, at
the University Women's Club.
In the Southwest alone, it was
said, between 600 and 300 dwellings
have been demolished to clear sites
for Social Security, Census Bureau
and Railroad Retirement Board
buildings. Private industry has pro-
vided no new housing for families
driven from these areas, and new
public housing projects will not be
ready for a year.
The board was told that the dis
possessed families have been crowded
into already overcrowded slum areas
In which many dwellings lack ade-
quate sanitary facilities, creating
- menace to health and morals"
On the other hand, an ''encourag-
ing" progress report was received
from the Alley Dwelling Authority
to the effect that 2,200 dwellings for
white and colored families in the
low-rent group should be completed
In the next year or two.
Mrs. c. Carroll Glover, jr.. pre-
sided ut the meeting. Suggestions
were made for further "humanizing'
procedure in the Landlord, Tenant
Court. On October 2 the court put
into effect new rules and regulations,
based partly on . study of $4,000
cases made by . committee ap-
pointed by the board, which CO.
operated with the judges, 1t was said.
