Here's why vets are still homeless

WHAT'S behind the snafu in
the temporary veterans hous-
ing projects?
The "stop work" order is still
in effect in Chicago's much
touted first in the country"
large-scale veterans housing
plan. The Chicago Housing Au-
thority wants to do job on
the project. The vets need
homes. But nothing happens.
The CHA has no more funds
for the projects. The Mayor and
the Governor say that they
want the project to be speeded
up, too.
EIGHT thousand dwellings
were originally sought for the
projects by the city. 3,4O6 ac-
tually got started. 1,072 are al
most ready or actually occupied.
Under federal law, the Fed.
eral Public Housing Authority
can advance funds to build the
units only if the local commu.
nifty provides the site and the
installation of utilities. The two
million dollars advanced by the
city of Chicago have already
been used up in building the
first 500 units and installing the
utilities in 572 more.
Mayor Kelly says that the
city can't advance any more
money for the installation. He
has virtually admitted, however,
that the real reason is that such
an advance might interfere with
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1946-07-20

that. 1t is the local responsible
ity to furnish the sites and in
stall the utilities.
n
THE state of Illinois has $4,-
100000 earmarked for slum
clearance in Chicago. Under the
existing appropriation, this can
not be used directly for tenn
porary veterans housing.
But it can be used for tenn
porary housing if it can be
shown that providing tenn
porary housing facilities is a
necessary part of long-range
slum clearance plan. And it has
been done-in Peoria.
Regardless of this, however,
there is nothing to stop Gov
ernor Green from calling a spe-
cial session of the legislature to
take direct action on veterans
housing.
