In 1937, the Wagner-Steagall Act created the United States Housing Authority, launching the nation's first large-scale public housing program. Listen as Lucas and Luna explore how New Dealers like Senator Robert Wagner, Representative Henry Steagall, and USHA head Nathan Straus battled real estate interests, overcome legal challenges, and built projects like the Jane Addams Houses in Chicago and the Williamsburg Houses in Brooklyn. Learn about the tensions between slum clearance and new construction, the role of local housing authorities, and how the program housed low-income families while reshaping American cities. This episode dives into a key but often overlooked piece of FDR's domestic agenda, connecting it to broader debates about government's role in providing decent housing for all citizens. #NewDeal #PublicHousing #WagnerSteagallAct #USHousingAuthority #NathanStraus #RobertWagner #HenrySteagall #SlumClearance #GreatDepression #FDR #HousingReform #JaneAddamsHouses #WilliamsburgHouses #CatherineBauer #HollenbeckHomes #USHA #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
