Romney Says Shady Deal Hurts Housing Program
Housing Secretary George Romney blamed central city social and economic problems for housing woes while calling out untested programs and unscrupulous operators. He cited graft and FBI investigations into over 50 cases, including some involving FHA personnel, but stressed broader national housing success amid central city challenges. A Brooklyn grand jury had indicted 10 firms and 40 people in a multimillion-dollar fraud scheme against the FHA. In Baltimore, police bemoaned the loss of five mauls used for door breaches, with seventeen lost over two years, complicating raids.
