National Housing Campaign Supports Home Modernization
The Public Service Company of Northern Illinois backs the federal National Housing Campaign to rehabilitate and modernize homes.

The act insured loans for home remodeling up to 2000 dollars with terms up to five years, and guidance is available via Booklet F H R 101 from the Federal Housing Administration.
