H-2 program expansion tied to war housing policy
Mr Holm describes the H-2 program as an expansion of the 112 plan. Washington relaxed building material restrictions and removed occupancy limits for war workers. Local NHA quotas set ceiling sale prices to 8000 and shelter rents to 65 a month, with lower rates in many areas. Builders must submit plans before material priorities are granted. FHA Title II operations shifted to insurance mortgages for existing houses and later supported private builders through Title VI during the war emergency.
