Roosevelt seeks 2.86 billion for self liquidating housing and jobs
President Roosevelt asked Congress for a 2.86 billion dollar program to spur business through self liquidating projects and low cost housing. He estimated at least 870 million in federal loans this year and outlined six project types to run two to seven years. He claimed the plan would not cost taxpayers long term for self liquidating projects. He sent the plan in a letter to Senate unemployment chair Byrnes and to other leaders. The housing program would add 800 million to the borrowing capacity of the United States Housing Authority for low cost homes for incomes 1250 to 2000. Senate Meads bill for federal backing of small business loans drew support from Morgenthau and Hopkins.
