15 New Homes
For Nome
Approval has just been received
for the issuance of 15 priorities for
new construction in Nome, Alas
ka, under the new H-2 housing
program according to George W.
Coplen, Regional Representative
of the National Housing Agency.
This program has been provided
to relieve congestion in the Nome
communiyt, due to war activity,
which is at present causing hard
ship for those families that are
unable to secure adequate living
accommodations.
Under this program builders
may construct larger and better
quality houses than has been pos
sible under past war housing
standards with top sales prices of
$8,000 and shelter rental ceilings
of $65. This program is necessar
ily limited by the availability of
materials and manpower. Anyone
may occupy the houses built un
der this program.
I The new celling prices under
this H-2 program, together with
the liberalization of WPB build
ing standards, will enable con
struction of better quality houses
in higher price ranges. It will also
mak£ possible erection of three
bedroom houses which could not
be built under previous price ceil
ings in most areas.
Such housing is expected to
meet the minimum construction
standards of the Federal Housing
Administration for insured mort
gage loans under Title II of the
National Housing Act. Houses
built under this program may be
financed with or without mort
gage insurance by the Federal
Housing Administration. Applica
tions for priorities to secure ma
terials to build these houses
should be filed with Folger John
son State Director of the Federal
Housing Administration, Portland,
Oregon.
Priorities are issued by FHA
acting under a delegation of au
thority from the War Production
Board. Norman Stines, WPB Area
Representative, has stated that he
will be glad to assist applicants in
arranging for priorities. Mr.
Stine’s address is Post Office Box
2481, Juneau, Alaska. Priority ap
plication forms can usually be se
cured from lending institutions or
from local building material
firms.
