Veterans Housing Bill Faces Floor Fight Over Old-Home Price Ceilings
The veterans housing bill heads to the House floor next week without Truman’s price ceilings on old houses. Lawmakers, led by Wilson W. Wyatt, favor a $600 million subsidy plan to spur materials output, arguing it won’t raise finished-home costs and can be trimmed if needed. Republicans oppose ceilings on existing dwellings, while supportive provisions include veteran preferences and extended material allocation. The $250 million direct construction request will go to the Building and Grounds Committee for jurisdiction.
