Veterans housing plan risks becoming a disservice to veterans
The piece argues that Congress and the FHA may fixate on low cost housing for veterans, limiting options to $6000 or less and rents around $50 a month. Building costs have risen, producing subpar homes likely placed in slums, with little resale value. It calls for allowing higher limits to balance needs, space, and economy for both veterans and non veterans.
