| directly affected.
Ii was about five months
ago that another community
action program was suggest
&c by Builder Levenson in
relation to financing home
mortgages.
He suggested that various
organizations use their re-
tirement funds and similar
cash-in-hand to finance build
ing or home mortgages.
This was before Federal
home mortgage interest rates
had been boosted by at least
another half per cent. But
this does not mean that mort
gage money is flowing be-
cause Of the boost.
There remains those mort
gage companies which still
do not take-up those for
homes intended for Negroes.
This is whether they are in
some instances FILA insured
or not.
The proposal to invest re.
tirement funds or like money
in home mortgages is excel
lent for it would not only
boost the new home market
but also help alleviate the
acute housing shortage ex-
perienced mainly by Ne
groeS.
Best of all, the liberal in
terest return on investments
is insured by the federal gov
eminent in most cases. And
the money Of any organiza-
ton no matter the size is
welcome.
The investment Of float
ing" funds Of various organ
izations in the home mort
gage field could certainly be
a profitable as well as a civic
project which tends to bene-
NJ the community as a whole.
