FHA Insures Almost
Two Million Homes
$765.583.l6l Goes For Prop
ertY Improvement Since
June, 1884

The Federal Housing Administra-
tion has insured 1,S99,242 loans
amounting to $765,53S, ,161 for prop
erty Improvement purposes since en-
actment of the National Housing Act
in June, 1884.
More than $2O0,O00,0O0 of this
amount has been insured since Feb
ruary 3, 1888, when this type of in
surance was revived, Administrator
Stewart Mcdonald announced today.
Under Title Of the National Hous-
ing Act, the FHA insures character"
loans on monthly payment terms for
repair, modernization, and improve
ment of property, including certain
limited types of new construction. Au-
thority to insure loans Of this nature
expired on April /, 1887, but it was
renewed by last years amendments as
a result of widespread demand and as
a stimulus to employment.
On March II, loans insured under
the restored provisions of Title l num-
bered 439, 1884 in the amount of $685.
736,852. This total represented loans
made by private lending institutions
which are insured against loss up to
10 per cent Of the volume of advances
for improvement of residential, farm,
and commercial properties.
Particularly significant, Mr.. Nc
Donald pointed out, was the fact that
during the last half of 1888 loans ac-
cepted for insurance under Title | for
modernization and new construction
purposes was the largest amount for
any similar period during the FHA's
operations. In that period 26S,805
loans were accepted for insurance in
the amount of $120,425,069. He ex-
planned at the same time that the pro-
ceeds of Title insured loans can no
longer be used for installation of
movable equipment and machinery.
The Act as amended in February
1888 limits the eligibility for insurance
to loans made for the purpose of fl
nancing alterations, repairs, or i'm
provements upon real property, thus
eliminating loans or advances for the
purchase and installation of equipment
and machinery upon real property
which were formerly eligible.
Under the Property Improvement
Credit Plan, the borrower must dem
onstrate his ability to pay before re-
ceiving financial accommodations from
financial institutions. He must own
the property to be improved, or have
lease upon it running at least six
months beyond the term of the loan.
Amounts up to $4,000 may be bor-
rowed to repair or modernize existing
properties, and amounts up to $1,000
may be borrowed for the construction
of new buildings under Title |. The
average loan is less than $500.

of the reciprocal trade treaties now in
