Let me be sure I understand what you're asking: Are you looking for programs that would support financing for actual construction of housing? Let me know and once I'm sure what you're looking for, I'll be happy to do some digging and see what I can come up with. Sorry it took me so long to respond to your comment. Usually I check in here every day, but I've had a very hectic week and just haven't had time. Hey Bill,

Now access to mortgage money and insurance add to the challenge. Are there any programs agencies that are willing and able to support housing that would sell at around $100,000 for 1,500 sq ft home?

This is a long-term issue with entrenched interests. If a coaltion of 50 nonprofits can't make headway, this issue is too big for one guy with a blog. We have to pull people together to fix little things over and over again, gaining people as we go, until one day, we're able to tackle issues like this. I will write more about it as I see an opportunity to do so. But see the archives. I learned a lot about how this is done, and got some people thinking about this who wouldn't have been paying attention. otherwise. No longer updating this page.

They say everything's going ok and enough money has been allocated for housing recovery so that they can spend big chunks of it on other things, like improving property values around the port.
