Housing project faces strict cost limits under FHA plan
The proposal sets minimum costs for dwellings at 12500 dollars, duplexes at 15000, and five room apartments at 7000 per unit, all in 1948 terms. Lindsay notes restrictions are higher than nearby areas, with project cost near 2.5 million dollars and FHA approval expected within 60 days. A large insurer will back the mortgage, and rents will require FHA consent. Families with children welcome as project aims to address local housing inadequacy.
