Roosevelt Seeks Home Loan Chain To Aid Mortgages
A bill would create a Home Owners Loan corporation under the federal home loan board with $200 million capital, funded by the government and refinanced through bonds up to $2 billion. It would allow 80 percent mortgage refinancing for homes valued at $10,000 or less, amortized in 15 years at 5 percent, with possible three year extensions and cash advances for taxes, repairs, and maintenance. Federal savings and loan associations would be created to serve underserved communities, and existing direct lending by federal home loan banks would be repealed.
