ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES TO FINANCING A NATION-WIDE SHELTER PROGRAM: A CONTRIBUTING INVESTIGATION TO THE AREA-WIDE SHELTER SYSTEMS STUDY

Abstract

The report is the result of a preliminary attempt to examine alternative approaches to the problem of financing a nationwide shelter system and to assess their potential contributions and the problems associated with their utilization. Current practices applicable to capital investments by individuals and other segments of the private sector are discussed, some of the problems with respect to their utilization for shelter construction are listed, and incentive programs which could encourage action in this area are analyzed. In addition, local sources of funds and state and federal aid programs are discussed as a basis for evaluating the extent to which each of these levels of government could participate. With respect to federal and state programs, particular attention is given to the possibility of combining civil defense considerations with existing program objectives and to the identification of techniques that might be applicable to a separate national program designed to develop shelter capability.
