This historic report, prepared by the FPHA’s Statistics Division, details the average cost of developing public housing projects administered under the United States Housing Act Program. The calculations in the report are based on a survey of public housing projects carried out in 1944. This publication is the second in a two-part series, with the first report detailing the methodology of the survey and the specifics of the Housing Act Program published in September 1946.
