Article Abstract:
The inadequacy of housing assistance for veterans has become a national issue and has prompted Congress to develop veterans' housing program that offers rental assistance or interest-rate subsidies for homeownership. This can lead housing professionals playing important roles in helping persuade Congress to provide rental assistance and interest-rate subsidies for veterans and their families.
