FPL (Forest Products Laboratory) Designs Meet Family Housing Needs
The Forest Products Laboratory (FPL) has developed five house plans for low-cost rural houses to demonstrate cost-saving principles of construction. The plans feature simplicity of design, but provide structurally sound houses that fulfill the needs of many families. A questionnaire was mailed to 1,620 individuals who requested and were sent the FPL plans during 1969. A total of 1,129 responded. The replies indicated that 225 houses had been built and that 318 houses were planned for future construction. Ninety-three percent of the reported costs were less than $12,000; 92 percent indicated incomes of less than $7,000. In general, the survey results show that structurally sound houses can be built to meet the needs of low-income families at prices they can affort to pay. (Author)
