Headline UNKRA Helps Relieve Housing Shortage in Korea

Caption Description Besides being overcrowded with refugees, Pusan has been the victim of a series of disastrous fires which have further reduced available housing. Thousands of victims are still living in tents provided by the army and many more shelter in squalid huts or unused coal sheds along the railroad tracks. Housing Authority has been set up by the Government of the Republic of Korea, and the United Nations Korean Reconstruction Agency (UNKRA) was asked to assist in providing new homes for some of the homeless. Sites were laid out at Tongnae and Yong-do, with road-building machinery contributed by AFAK (Armed Forces Aid to Korea) and labor by the Republic of Korea Army. In addition to its $2.4 million housing program funded in 1953 and still being actively pursed, UNKRA allocated additional funds under its 1954 program to build some 2,000 housing units at the two sites. By October 1954, some 50 units had been completed at each site and work was under way on another 50.
This photograph shows work in progress on two of the new units being constructed under the UNKRA special program.
