Materials in this folder pertain to Siegel's role as the Southern California Secretary of the California Housing Association, a post that she held in 1949. Included are pamphlets published by the Association, correspondence, minutes from the Association's board meetings, and several issues of Association newsletters. Items in the series primarily relate to how California was affected by the implementation of the Housing Act of 1949, a landmark piece of federal legislation that sought to provide "a decent home and a suitable living environment for every American family" through the clearance of slums and the construction of public housing projects.
