                 TITLE 42--THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
 
        CHAPTER 9--HOUSING OF PERSONS ENGAGED IN NATIONAL DEFENSE
 
                    SUBCHAPTER I--PROJECTS GENERALLY
 
Sec. 1503. Development of projects by Secretary; financial 
        assistance to public housing agencies
        
    In any localities where the President determines that there is an 
acute shortage of housing which impedes the national defense program and 
that the necessary housing would not otherwise be provided when needed 
for persons engaged in national defense activities, the Secretary of 
Housing and Urban Development may undertake the development and 
administration of projects to assure the availability of dwellings in 
such localities for such persons and their families, or the Secretary of 
Housing and Urban Development may extend financial assistance of public 
housing agencies for the development and administration of such 
projects. Such financial assistance to public housing agencies shall be 
extended (except as otherwise provided herein and not inconsistent 
herewith) under the provisions of, and in the same manner and forms as 
provided in, title I \1\ of the United States Housing Act of 1937, as 
amended [42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.], with respect to other housing 
projects.

    \1\ So in original. Reference should probably be to entire ``United 
States Housing Act of 1937'' because such Act is not divided into 
titles. See section 1437 et seq. of this title.
