In his 1937 State of the Union address, Roosevelt specifically identified squalid housing as a pervasive problem that led to the spread of disease and impaired “the health of future generations.” Two weeks later, in his Second Inaugural Address, Roosevelt proclaimed, “I see one-third of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill-nourished.” The Housing Law of 1937 provided substantial federal funding to local authorities for the construction of public housing for lower-income families and individuals.

The loon became Minnesota’s state bird in 1961.
