Rep William Windall.
R-N.J., ranking Republican on
the House Banking Committee,
said President Ford would sign
it
The bill would strengthen
some existing housing deve
lopment programs by giving
local authorities more freedom
and flexibility in their funds
disbursement
Most importantly, the bill
would establish a block-grant
program and eliminate the
pre.sent 9 urban programs
including Model Cities and
urban renewal It would also
establish a new housing
subsidy program and raise the
amount of money prospective
home owners could secure on
FHA-insured home mortgages
The 9 programs eliminated
and replaced by the block
grants are Model Cities, urban
renewal, opem space and urban
beautification, rehabilitation
^ loans. neighborh<K)d facilities,

oans from $33,000 to $45,000
The maximum loan a savings

The bill would also extend
through 1976 the Section 2.35
and 236 programs of home
ownership, which the Nixon
Administration wanted
scratched. Importantly, only

in black America to win the
confidence of (he people and he

America, black and white.”
