Fahey defends HOLC policy amid foreclosures surge
The HOLC chief John H. Fahey faces questions from the House Appropriations Committee as foreclosures rise. Fahey argues 160,000 foreclosures by July 1, 1938 is a safe peak and notes HOLC loans totaled 1,000,000 with only 16 percent foreclosing. He says delays would risk the government’s $3 billion investment.
