NCHA Reports on
Number Of Unfit D. T..
Dwellings 70 Congress

Washington's housing Ills were
outlined formally by the National
Capital Housing Authority in its
annual report to Congress today.
Among the conditions officially
recognized by the agency were %
an acute housing shortage, (2)
climbing rents and prices, 90
growing population a. the exist
ence of twice as many substandard
dwellings as the city had before the
war and 90 an unprecedented num-
Der of unfit dwellings.
Production Need Stressed.
John 1hlder. executive oficer of
the authority, in an Introductory
statement to the report, said:
"The only answer is more good
permanent dwellings at rents or
prices their occupants can afford to
pay. During the years before 1910
private residential building in the
Washington area made it a runner
up for the leaders, New York, Chi
caso, Los Angeles. Yet it did not
meet the need. Today our need is
greater than it was then. Postwar
difficulties will be greater than pre-
war difficulties. .
THE key to our answer to an
adequate supply of good dwellings
lies in concerted effort to increase
production. Expedients to meet i'm
mediate emergencies should, to the
greatest extent practicable, be de-
signed to further, not to impede,
attainment of that answer. This is
why the National Capital Housing
Authority, when erecting temporary
houses on sites that are appropriate
for permanent houses, sought to
plan and develop those sites SO they
will be ready for permanent dwell
ings when the temporaries were re-
moved"
Bill Provides Land Agency.
The report pointed out that pub
Tic housing during the II years since
the National Capital Housing Au-
thority was created has demon
strated that it meets both contin-
uing needs and emergency needs"
Congress is considering a bill to
create a District land agency with
an authorized initial capital of
$50, 900 900 merely to acquire, clear
and sell real property in slum and
blighted areas, the report recalls.
while this bill would transfer
some of the National Capital Housing
Authority's functions to another
agency, the authority is support
ing 1t in the belief that under 1t
more nearly adequate funds will be
made available" the report asserts.
Since 1910, slum reclamation and
provision of low-rent dwellings has
been at a halt, the report points out,
and public housing has been prac-
tically restricted to the erection of
temporary structures"
