By W. Wodsworth Wood
The housing spotlight today is on
the returned veteran, and justly so.
Several millions of our young men
have come home to find that locat
ing a job is only the beginning of
their readjustment to civilian life.
The greatest problem is finding a
place to live. The veteran is the
chief victim of the current housing
shortage, and the united efforts of
the Government and the entire
home-building industry are centered
on the task of providing him with
shelter.
The home-building industry has
made great progress since the close
of the war in reconverting to peace
time production, but residential
building is still insufficient to keep
pace with swollen demands. The
chief difficulty is the shortage of
materials. The squeeze between op
erating costs and ceiling prices has
hampered industrial production, and
work stoppages have also enor
mously cut back supplies.
In order to channel the essential
materials into the 2,700.000 homes
for veterans scheduled for 1946-7,
the Civilian Production Administra
tion has issued an order known as
VHP-1. This directive prohibits all
new construction or repairs to ex
isting structures, except for low-cost
homes built for veterans and “hard
ship cases,” and certain necessary
commercial, industrial and farm
work.
Second Order Helpful.
Construction of veterans’ homes
and a limited amount of other
building is further stimulated by
another CPA order, PR-33, which
establishes a system of materials
priorities. Without these priorities
low-cost residential construction
would be at a disadvantage in com
peting for supplies with other types
of building. PR-33 further provides
that the Federal Housing Admin
istration must approve the selling
price of a home for which a priority
rating is sought.
In no case may the sales price be
more than $10,000 (including lot).
Furthermore, since $6,500 is the
maximum price that most veterans
can afford to pay, a recent directive
issued by Housing Expediter Wilson
Wyatt seeks to insure that at least
half of the country's houses are sold
below that figure. A price “dividing
line” has been established, which is
based on local building costs and
geographical conditions, and varies
for the different parts of the coun
try.
The veteran who cannot find a
suitable rental and wishes to build
a home today as a solution to his
housing needs, should ask himself
two questions. First, Is his job se
cure and is he reasonably sure of
staying in the community where he
now lives and works?
Second, can he afford to build a
home of the type he needs? If the
answer is affirmative to both ques
tions, he may contact his local retail
lumber dealer, who will‘suggest a
builder to him.

The lumber dealer will also assist
