The National Association of Housing Officials predicts that GI housing will outlast the GI population of American colleges and universities.
Some 474 of the institutions of higher learning, it seems, have applied for full ownership of government housing, erected on their campuses. In accordance with recent Federal legislation, these colleges and universities will receive without charge 727 housing projects accommodating 88,000 students and their families. The schools provide the sites and utilities for the structures - which were moved to the campuses from army camps and defense workers' housing settlements.
This "temporary" housing has served a real purpose in relieving local housing shortages and in making possible college training for veterans who otherwise would have been unable to attend school. The buildings will not last indefinitely, but they should remain useful for some time to come.
