State suspends payments for veterans housing
The Montana Department of Commerce has suspended housing voucher payments for Freedom's Path veterans housing at Fort Harrison VA campus effective immediately after threats to halt payments over unresolved lead based paint issues. Fort Harrison Veterans Residences Limited Partnership argues the standards are misapplied while the state reviews responses. The action follows a May 24 notice directing residents to keep paying rent, with federal protection against eviction in nonpayment.
