Although the Housing Act of 1949 allocated millions of dollars of federal funds for the identification, demolition, and redevelopment of distressed and blighted areas, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors failed to apply for funds that had been earmarked for county-wide redevelopment projects. This drew the ire of Siegel and her colleagues at the California Housing Association, who argued that the Supervisors' lack of action suggested a lack of commitment to ensuring that fair and adequate housing existed within the county. Materials in this file pertain to the state of the Los Angeles County Housing Authority in 1949 and 1950 and include notes, article clippings, press releases, correspondence, memoranda, meeting agendas, and interview transcripts. Also included is a formal declaration issued by the California Housing Association, and a list of recommendations that was created by the Association and directed at the Board of Supervisors.
