Condominiums and Cooperatives - History
housing development act family
The development of condominium and cooperative housing arrangements accelerated with increasing costs of real estate, inflation, increased urbanization, and population growth. Until the 1960s, the condominium as a separate form of ownership was relatively unknown in the United States. The development of condominiums was hastened when the FAIR HOUSING ACT OF 1968 (42 U.S.C.A. § 3601 et seq.) authorized the use of mortgage insurance, established under the National Housing Act (12 U.S.C.A. § 1701 et seq. [1934]), on one-family units in multiple-family structures.
