Administration Homes Progress Rent Woodhill
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative poster, dating between 1936 and 1940, promotes the Low Rent Housing Program of the Cleveland Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA). The image captures the spirit of progress and new beginnings as a construction worker waves enthusiastically towards the viewer, with a backdrop of freshly built homes at Woodhill Homes, located at 2567 Woodhill Road. During the Great Depression, the Works Progress Administration (WPA) played a crucial role in providing employment opportunities and improving infrastructure across the United States. The CMHA, established in 1933, was one of the many New Deal agencies created to address the housing crisis and provide affordable living options for low-income families. The Woodhill Homes development was part of this larger initiative, with the first units completed in 1936. This poster, produced by the CMHA, showcases the organization's commitment to providing quality, affordable housing for those in need. The image of a construction worker, a symbol of progress and hard work, reinforces the idea that through collective effort and government support, communities could be built and lives improved. The poster's design is simple yet effective, with bold typography and a clear, engaging message. The use of a construction site as the backdrop adds a sense of urgency and importance to the cause. Overall, this poster serves as a powerful reminder of the critical role government housing programs played in shaping the landscape of American cities during the Depression era and beyond.
