Corry and Sparta families receive homes bought with welfare funds under a practice the Welfare Department uses to provide better living quarters. Authorities say no down payment is required and shelter subsidies apply to the house payments, though conditions vary by county. The Journal notes one home in Sparta is subpar, lacking running water and an indoor bathroom, while the Corry dwelling is described as wholly satisfactory.
