Excerpt from Housing Management, Principles and Practices

This work was undertaken at a time when public housing in this country was more a hope than a practicable possibility. It seemed, however, that the United States had, at long last, reached that place in history which England and other European countries had achieved soon after the World War, and govern ment housing for families of low income was inevitable. The depression, with its acute unemployment problem, had brought into the limelight the shameful conditions under which millions of American families had been existing for decades, with the result that housing became a public issue. Although the essen tial purpose behind the federal program of 1933-35 was to te lieve unemployment rather than to remove a cancerous social condition, yet a beginning was made, and that was the impor tant thing. To expand and extend the housing program for its social implications was a second step for which public housing advocates prepared after the initial steps had been taken.
