Private investors fund USHA housing bonds at record rates
The United States Housing Authority plans to deepen private financing for slum clearance and low rent housing. Private short term notes totaling 85 million dollars sold at about one half to seven tenths of one percent interest, with long term bonds showing strong demand. Local authorities expect private capital to cover 20 to 25 percent of costs, rising to 60 percent in future projects, while USHA loans fill the remainder. Savings of about 20 million dollars on development costs are anticipated through the plan.
