Leased Housing Program Is Suggested For Baytown
HUD official Elroy Flieller told Baytown builders that the leased housing program is the only path to low rent housing here and that vacancies are at zero. A city council vote and recertification of the workable program could unlock more federal aid, with long term leases and rental income for builders, though no direct construction funds are available.
