Elements of Tenant Instability in a War Housing Project

A STUDY of the largest housing project in the United States, Vanport City near Portland, Oregon, was undertaken in the winter of I943-44 to ascertain why families had been moving out of the project at the rate of ioo a day. Residents, officials and employees, especially the school authorities and teachers, and agencies in Portland were complaining about the high turn over but could not explain it. Even when the rate had become stabilized and only 35 families were leaving per day (in a population of about 9,500 families), the administrative procedures and development of community life still were hindered by constant change of tenants.' Such quotations as these, printed in a Portland newspaper in June I944, obtained from people leaving the Project, had been repeated for some time in Vanport itself,

How Shall We Manage Housing?

MOST of the attention directed to public housing has been concentrated upon legislation and upon the relative merits of various plans for housing, but as scores of large housing projects are completed and occupied by tenants and as hundreds of others are scheduled for completion within coming months, another urgent problem presents itself. Who is to live in these public housing projects? Who is to manage them? How is the administrative personnel to be selected and trained? How are public housing programs to be integrated with the programs of assistance, both public and private, that are already established in the community? It is time that these management questions receive serious attention, for regardless of one's attitude toward present housing legislation, there is already a great volume of public housing, and the questions are of immediate urgency. To families occupying the dwellings, public housing is closely akin to the public assistance grants under the Social Security Act. While this may be denied by some housing enthusiasts, an analysis of the facts makes it entirely clear. These tenant families receive a rent subsidy resulting from direct federal grants to reduce rents and local grants in the form of tax exemptions for the same purpose. As a result a comparable dwelling in the same neighborhood would rent for a substantially higher figure. The difference between these two rentals?in the public housing project and in the general community for a comparable accommodation?is a grant of public funds to the family. It is true that the family pays a rental representing a substantial portion of the true rental value while the recipient of an old age assistance grant pays nothing. The care of the aged is shifting, however, toward old age benefits, under which substantial payments are made by the beneficiary. Subsidized public housing is thus related to the general social security program, and the fundamental principles of administration of public social services must be applied
