The record of past disappointments in what appeared to be promising housing or renewal programs emphasizes the need for advance planning based on realistic knowledge and awareness of the technical and human relations problems likely to be encountered. Most of the funds recommended in this measure would provide for urban renewal grants and an addition of some 35.000 units of public housing. Other noteworthy features include funds for direct housing loans for the elderly and appropriations to begin an imperatively needed program of lowrent housing for migrant workers. A further and most wholesome provision is designed to initiate a program of lowinterest loans for improving already renewed areas. Another most important innovation in this measure is that which emphasizes the role of code enforcement in urban renewal objectives.
