These rural housing projects will
be located as follows: Lonoke
County, Ark; Thomas County, Ga
Alexander Count. ILL.,; Vigo Cou7.
ty, Ind; Lee County, Miss; and
darlington County, S. c.
DISCUSS PROJECTS
In discussing the background
and development of these six rural
projects. USHA Administrator Ma
than StrauS said:
"These projects prove peyono
doubt three main points: That de-
cent. safe and sanitary housing
can be developed under the USHA
program for families in the lowest
income group in rural areas; that
this housing can be developed SO
economically, without sacrificing
essential standards, that 1t Will
quicken the progress Of the USHA
program in the direction OF lower
building costs and lower annual
contributions to reduce rents; and
hat the slum clearance and low
rent housing program is not only
needed, but also Is wanted and ap-
preciated and understood in rural
areas.
I'm the above respects the rural
program has features Of similarity
to the urban program In two other
respects it is quite different.
FOR THOSE WHO RENT
"The urban program is devoted
to the development Of renting, be-
cause most people in concentrated
centers of population are accustom-
ed to rent the homes in which they
live. The rural housing program
,hould be directed toward the grad
ual creation of home owners, able
to own decent homes without eX-
cessive strain upon their slender IL
nancial resources. Under the pres
ent law, only rental occupancy is
rossible. But under suggested
amendment 10 the law now pend
ing, the gradual acquisition of the
homes by the families who live in
them will be made feasible.
"a second difference between the
urban program and the rural pro-
gram is that the rural program is
receiving the cooperation of the
Department of Agriculture, because
the improvement of living condi-
lions on the farm is insep parably
connected with the improvement OF
working conditions and income con-
ditbons on the farm. With per-
fecting legislation, the Depart
ment of Agriculture and the USH
A would be able to work together
even more closely and even more
successfully toward expanding the
rural housing Srogram from it's
present experimental beginnings. -
