Weaver, Special Assistant to P Administrator Nathan Straus of -the United" States Housing Authority. today ! (SalUida.v, Apiil?80) outlined the - USHA's nationwide slum clearance and low-rent hous-' ^ ing, at Hie rlo<licrttinn. hf new build- ' n ings at the State School, Marshall, j Missouri. ? I s, 1 Dr. Weaver "rg"d p'ps"nl 1 a to! stimulate local efforts toward ,T securing for the State of. Missouri e enabling acts permitting it to par- <c ticipate in the country-wide $500,-' ci ? 000,000 campaign to rehouse the q . poor of the slums in new homes e: f at rents within the reach of the b; lowest-income groups. 1 t< "Today, in the United State s, on ; c a national scale, we are executing c< a new program for social better- a ment. Here, again, the Government * '' ~ is taking flao loud rincd it fons bbiltci come manifest that the problem v; is so large And so vital that Gov- pt? ?li-l_ ernment alone is equipped tojncetji' it, I -refer to the rehousing of low- c' income families," said Dr. Weaver. "Aside from the need for decent'^ low-rent housing, among colored 1' citizens, which is so evident in all sections, finvprnmptvt hmwin Viuola a further significance for Negroes. The whole theory behind public jV housing is that the individual is '' ~ HfTecled greatly by his environment Not only does the person develop L more fully if he is given better jl "surroundings, but society benefits greatly because a better citizen is '' produced." '}( ^ . "If communities can be br ought o( conceivable that-thc-9?me-a?alyjiL3-L^ can be extended throughout the1 -j area. For the reasoning which de- ^ clares that nothing can be done , for the slum-dweller because he IV ~ ~ has reached his natural level, die- g tales that Negroes are poor, ignor- ^ ant, and underprivileged because they arc naturally inferior. "To stress encnonmeTftal factors ti is to open new doors "of opportunitv and hone to colored Ameri- I cans. Indirectlyj a successful housin^ program will (lr> this. Directly t it must benefit thousands of Negro_ families. "Under tlie United States Hous- p ing Authority, the first move must ^ , be made by cities where public ol spirit demands eradication of slum ' areas. The Authority" u'nuV\Lnlr-_i:i - .ton nrovides advice, technical as-riv . sistance, and finally funds" after jj the requirements set forth in the law have been met by the appli- 5 cants for a loan. ' v, "The degree to which Negroes will benefit from the program of 0 the.'USHA will depend, in large measure', upon ".'theIf" participation?g in and consideration by local hous ing authorities. If we may judge the future by the past, we can look forward to a housincr program ^ ?-in. Missouri which will include much Negro participation. At the present time the State of Missouri h not riiiiilinv 1 under tho jm-ms of p . the United States Housing Act of jj , 1037 to ask for loans. "If the splendid record you have achieved in regard to securing ben R1 efits for Negroes from public funds I. is to be continued in the field oi ^ housing, there are several neees- *, sary steps. First, enabling legislation must be enacted at once. Second, local housing authorities must T be established; an:l finally, projects designed to relieve the hous- ^ ing situation of Negroes must he ??-? pmnared and presented to the c USHA. t t j ti THIRKIELD ENDOWED LECTURES .
