The bill about "Housing Society" was formed by The Ministry of Home Affairs in 1919. The law had some problems from the beginning. So some propositions about the revision were introduced to the TEIKOKU Diet. But the essential points weren't revised. The worst problem of "Housing Society" was the member of societies couldn't repay for the depression and the earthquake. The number of "Housing Society" slumped about 1950 in spite of some countermeasure. After the 2nd war, the law was used with the Government Housing Loan Corporation. But it's purpose (supply of housing to middle-class people) was lost. And the law died stillborn in 1971.
