Heads Up from: National Association of Home Builders
Type of Action: Heads Up

June 7, 2007 - The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) today called on Congress to simplify paperwork requirements and increase grant limits for the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Specially Adapted Housing program to help builders and remodelers better accommodate the housing needs and improve the lives of the nation’s disabled veterans.

Testifying before the Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity of the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, Brian Catalde, president of NAHB and a home builder from El Segundo, Calif., expressed support for the Specially Adapted Housing program and offered several suggestions to expand or improve the program to better serve the thousands of severely injured veterans whose homes must be modified in ways that will allow them to live independently.
