    Did they actually build a large enough amount to make a difference, or was it just symbolic?

        No I didn’t. Is this a lot compared to how many people need housing back then? Did it relieve the housing market from oversupply?

          They don’t know / it doesn’t say. This is the final conclusion given:

          For a short time, in response to extraordinary circumstances, the U.S. government succeeded in building more than just houses. It constructed entire communities, demonstrating that government has a major role and can lead in finding appropriate, innovative solutions to complex challenges.
