Sources of home mortgage money in the United States, 1912-1942

It is the objective of this paper to delineate the sources of home mortgage funds from 1912 to 1942, to indicate the deficiencies in lending practices which were related to the sources of these funds during the 1920's, to describe briefly the remedial measures during the 1930's through which Federal programs sought to correct the deficiencies in practices of these sources of home mortgage funds, and to consider whether there still remain any major deficiencies in home mortgage lending practices which are ascribable to the sources of the funds for those loans.
