The article focuses on the Housing Act of 1954 which is also referred as "dynamic housing program." It as an act to scuttle the public-housing program and to bail the landlords and their bankers out of the slums. The program was inaugurated early in President Franklin D. Roosevelt's term of office in part as a means of stimulating construction and employment during the depression. Under the Housing Act of 1937 new homes were built for more than 700,000 low-income families. Projects were undertaken in more than a thousand localities.
