whats strange is in my city those houses end up getting sold. those
people dont want to live in them apparently. or they cant handle
having a house.

Although they get the house to live in, the terms "no down payment, no interest, affordable mortgage geared to be no more than 30 percent of income" ..is still too much or some families and can't bear it for too

i think the average mortage is 650-750 which isnt bad. sad that people cant pay that.

This thread deviated from "repetitive DOS tasks" to "repetitive volunteer tasks". Perhaps this branch of the convo should end or move elsewhere.

hey did you forget which msg network you are on? this is fucking dovenet.
stop trying to steer the conversation.

While I don't know the ins and outs of the program and could be totally off base with this speculation, there's a LOT that goes into having a house aside from just the purchase price, both financially and in terms of general responsibility.

i read up on it. i guess sometimes you have to take classes [which i'm sure arent that bad] and you have to help build it.

sounds like a good deal to me.
the problem is that most people are stupid losers.

ensure people are housed - that's decency and imparative to allowing them dignity. But to be successful you need things like that to be part of an overarching strategy of either helping or allowing people to get their feet back properly under themselves before saddling them with the additional responsibilities and liabilities of home ownership.

some people cant handle a house. but a habitat or humanity house would be a new one so hopefully it doesnt have much problems.

my friend's sister got the family house and she ran it into the ground because she couldnt afford to fix and replace things if they break.

old houses are a bitch, i've been there.

If a person doesn't have experience with building trades, they ptu them to work picking up trash, sweeping, painting, or other work you can pull anyone of fthe street to do. When scheduling volunteer days, the stage of constructi on is listed, so unless you want to compact or level sand the day they are pouring a concrete floor or driveway pad, you may want to pick a day later in the build. In some cases multiple builfs are going on, so there's lots of lit tle things than can be done.

nobody will believe this but i volunteer my time all the time. i've helped a schitzophrenic woman move like 3 times and she is a hoarder who never throws things out. not fun.

anyways, i would love to learn the correct way to do a driveway.
maybe this is a good way to get free hands on training.
