Administration urges participation in low cost elderly housing plan
The administration pressed for federal participation in a low cost housing program for elderly persons while opposing a Democratic backed direct loan plan. Housing chief Albert M. Cole testified that direct loans are undesirable, warning they would risk heavy government dependence. The speech highlighted FHA insured loans for nonprofits up to 95 percent, and a 39 year loan term, contrasting with the Democratic proposal of 100 percent loans for 50 years and a 250 million revolving fund. The administration also seeks over 70,000 new public housing units in two years, countering a three year plan for 150,000 units.
