Housing Bill Seeks 1 Million Homes Annually
Sen. William Proxmire proposes an emergency housing bill to finance a million homes per year for moderate income families with a 6 percent subsidized mortgage rate for three years. The plan ties eligibility to housing starts below 1.75 million and unemployment above 6 percent, conditions now near current levels. It aims to spur construction and may create up to 2 million jobs, though the Ford administration opposes a similar House bill.
