Subsidy Housing Plan Considered
In Washington a direct subsidy proposal tees up 1 billion dollars of federal funds to leverage four billion dollars of private capital. The plan would give 20 percent subsidy to a housing project, backed by housing administration insurance guaranteeing 80 percent loan funds. An example shows a 500 dollar lot and 5,000 dollar house needing 400 dollars cash beyond the lot, with the borrower receiving 1,000 dollars subsidy and 3,600 dollars loan. Supporters say private finance remains active and avoids full federal construction.
