Roosevelt urges creditors to delay foreclosures nationwide
President Roosevelt appealed to mortgage creditors and cities to refrain from foreclosure actions against small homeowners while signing a 2.2 billion home mortgage aid act. The plan creates a Home Owners Loan Corporation with 200 million dollars from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and empowers the Home Loan Administration to issue bonds up to 2 billion dollars to exchange for mortgages, enabling owners with up to 20 thousand dollars in equity to obtain bonds at low long terms and five percent interest. The act also provides mortgage scaling for homeowners affected by hardship.
