Vermont Home Mortgage Credit Agency plans changes to attract state banks by redrafting regulations. Banking Commissioner Hunt says the 1968 law aims for a workable program and compares well with FHA, but rising FHA rates and foreclose guarantees have made Vermont’s plan less workable. Changes will be outlined at the June 22 Vermont Bankers Association meeting. The agency guarantees up to 25 percent of loans to $20,000 for middle income residents, currently not guaranteeing interest on defaulted loans.
