dc.description	The federal government's Haskell Homes trailer park accommodated about 125 people in 25 trailers, according to a July 28, 1943, story in the Enquirer and News, with 45 more trailers available and another 80 mobile homes planned. The mobile homes were to accommodate "in-migrant war workers and civilian employees of Fort Custer, Kellogg Field and Percy Jones General hospital." Eventually, these families would move into a "temporary" housing project at Haskell Avenue and Hubbard Street. By 1960, the city would confront what the Enquirer called a "civic crisis" of relocating families who lived in the substandard housing.	en_US
