Eisenhower Proposes 8-Part Housing Plan for America
President Eisenhower sent Congress an eight point housing program aiming to provide good housing in good neighborhoods for all Americans. He urged four more years of public housing with 140000 new units, plus a private sector incentive plan, longer mortgage terms, lower down payments, and increased FHA financing to rejuvenate decaying urban areas. The package calls for 700 million in federal loan funds and up to 250 million in grants, reform of the Federal National Mortgage Association, and a projected overhaul of housing agencies headed by Albert Cole.
