Defense housing. Hale Homes, Portsmouth, Virginia. A 300-unit project to house civilian workers employed at the Norfolk Navy Yard. These homes, constructed at a cost of $1,114,748 by the USHA (U.S. Housing Authority) through the local housing authority, are permanent construction and are expected to continue after the emergency as part of the local authority's low-rent housing project. Rents are divided into three groups which run from a low of $19 to a high of $39 a month. The project completed on February, 1941, consists almost entirely of apartment-type dwellings
