Urges Maximum Use of Existing Residential Structures

Maximum use of existing residential structures as an interim step toward solution of the housing problem of many communities was urged today by Commissioner Raymond M. Foley of the Federal Housing Administration in a letter to all field offices of that organization. Mr. Foley's letter was in connection with further decentralization of FHA operations, placing full responsibility for the rehabilitation and property improvement loan activities in the field offices. Informing state and district directors of this step, he said:

"Al1 our effort since I became Commissioner has been directed toward encouragement of the building industry to undertake an all-out attack on the whole range of housing need, especially in low and medium brackets of both sales price and rentals.

"But unless the best use is made of the existing housing inventory by improvement, conversion and rehabilitation to check depreciation and blight, the housing problem of the nation will be made more intense and difficult of solution."

Pointing out that Title I insured property improvement loans, which nearly 5,000 lending institutions are prepared to make, furnishes a ready financial aid in such an effort, Mr. Foley made it the responsibility of each field office to administer this program as a major activity of the FHA.

In each field office one administrative officer is made directly responsible for public information and advice to lenders, contractors and the industry in general.

"Our purpose in this, as in all our insuring operations, is that our field offices shall maintain an alert and active attitude of seeking to be of help, rather than only a standby readiness," Mr. Foley told the directors.

Title I loans, Mr. Foley pointed out, are available for financing repairs, additions, alterations and other improvements to homes or other structures, located in cities, suburbs and in rural areas. Of particular importance at this time is the need for additional living units that may be created by the conversion or rehabilitation of existing structures, such as adding an extra bedroom, converting a single family house into two or more apartment units or dividing large out-of-date apartments into smaller modern units.
