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.
