Republican Housing Plan Nears Eisenhower Review
Washington sources say a broad Republican housing program aiming for about one million new homes annually and more modest income dwellings is ready for President Eisenhower’s consideration. The plan, hammered by a 23 member advisory panel led by Albert M. Cole, would expand FHA mortgage guarantees, renovate old houses, and create a central mortgage reserve bank to fuel credit for new housing while keeping starts near the million yearly target. The panel seeks to maintain credit and housing activity through insured 40 year mortgages for lower price homes, expanded repair loans, direct aid for refurbishing old dwellings, easier down payments on used homes, and alignment of FHA VA rates with long term government bond yields.
