Eligible students include those in approved institutions, nursing programs, and certain foreign or Junior Year Abroad options. Kenneth R. Reeder leads the program. By year end the U.S. College Housing Program will reach 2.8 billion in loans or commitments, up from 16.8 million since 1951, with annual loans around 300 million.
