Home builders are being driven out of business by banking practices in Florida and elsewhere, Florida builders told state banking authorities Monday.
Builders complained that lenders are dissolving lines of credit and eliminating construction financing, while refusing to spend federal bailout money.
"Extreme financial institution business practices are forcing solvent, creditworthy home builders to the brink of financial disaster," said Jay Carlson, president of the Florida Home Builders Association.
The chief economist for the American Bankers Association defended lenders, saying they are facing tough times and bailout money hasn’t reached small banks.
