A total of 5000 new homes have been authorized recently for num- Der of New England communities under the H-2 housing program, ac- cording to John Dobbs, regional representative of the National Housing Agency. Up to the present time H-2 programs have been ap- proved for IS general localities in- volving 113 different towns and cit ies.
 The largest program to date is for the Boston area with 1920 units, and the smallest is for Putnam, Connecticut, with 10 units. MT. Dobbs indicated that programs for additional localities undoubtedly would be established in the near future.
 It was pointed out that H-2 hous- ing programs allowing the conStruc- tion of new homes are being author ized for localities where housing congestion has resulted in general hardship which has had an adverse effect upon the production of war materials which are still vitally needed. Many of these areas have had no new construction for the past several years, and the demand for housing created by normal in- creases in population has not been met. Prior to the establishment of the H-2 program all housing, whether built privately or publicly, was re!'.ricted for use by immigrant war workers. The home built under the H-2 program, however, have no occupancy restrictions.
 Limitations Imposed
 Rental and sales price ceilings, however, are established by the MIA office for each program and in addition limitations imposed by the WIPE on the use of lumber and other critical materials must be fol- lowed. In any areas with H-2 hous- ing programs a builder planning to build for his own use and occupancy may submit applications to the State Office of the Federal Housing Ad- ministration to receive authorization and priority ratings. Tt is great tribute to many New England com- munities", MT Dobbs said, that they were able to absorb the full
