HUD Opens Deals for Nonprofits on FHA Foreclosures
The Housing and Urban Development department announces changes to buy and lease programs for FHA foreclosures. Nonprofits may purchase foreclosed homes at a 10 percent discount and direct sales are no longer limited to funded entities. The 1 a year lease program allows modest rents, two extensions, and an option to buy at pre repaired value, with HUD self insuring hazards. Up to 10 percent of FHA properties may be leased to the homeless, about 4900 homes. Details and guidelines are being developed with RTC provisions aiding public agencies and nonprofits in purchasing below market and at reduced rates.

Pro-Democracy Rally in East German City Draws 10000
In Zittau, East Germany, more than ten thousand pro democracy supporters gathered in three churches and the market square, while West German officials rejected Krenz conditions on travel loosening. A debate was relayed via loudspeakers as New Forum members reported the event. Krenz indicated a draft law could expand travel rights, but warned major hurdles remain, including Bonn's stance on recognizing East German citizenship.
