Eisenhower Signs Housing Bill Expanding FHA Down Payments
President Eisenhower signed a $2 billion housing measure authorizing lower down payments on FHA insured homes and adding about $1.99 billion for housing programs. He warned the act contains defects and urged repeal of some provisions while directing limited FY 1958 use of new authority. The bill lowers minimum down payments to 3 percent on the first 10,000, 15 percent on 10,000 to 16,000, and 30 percent above that, potentially cutting a $15,000 home from 1,950 to 1,050.
