It was actually passed through the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 and took effect in January 1975 under former President Gerald Ford. Which BTW was a republican! I may not agree with these grants but atleast I do a little research before I blame the wrong person for it. But that seems to be par for the course on here. Blame Obama! We're in debt because of him! Forget the trillions of dollars we have spent in the wars. (whether you agree with the wars or not isnt my point so dont try to turn this into how patriotic you are) The point is everything taking place now isnt Obama's fault. Get over it already!

I have been a recipient of assistance several years ago, now I didn't get half of what some of these people got, but I did recieve about 7000 in repairs. I work 50 hours a week, sometimes more. Being my wife is a homemaker we qualified due to income. This help was well appreciated to us and without it we couldn't have did the repairs ourselves. I look at assistance like this just like food stamps or whatever they call them nowadays. If you really need it, are working, and trying to make it but finacially you can't...then I am all for it. These programs are in place for people like that, not for lazy people that are too sorry to hold a job but can afford a GMC 4X4 or a Cadillac. With that said I do not know if the people who are recieving these are lazy non working people or not, so I'm not defending them, just stating facts.

Hud won't help because we own our home. So wheres the help for senior disabled citizens. When your sweating in sweltering heat its hard to understand.

I will not make another repair to my home nor paint it for ten years. Then you guys can see me on here taking your hard earned income and having someone else repair or replace it. In this case I really didnt build that....you did ! Okay…I’m done. I will not make another repair to my home nor paint it for ten years.

Buts that is obamas way. Century does not deserve to get funds from the tax payers (grants) to give away. Welfare and grants will stop this country just like the USSR was.

If one actually WORKS FOR/EARNS with determination, steady working and saving and sacrificing, one has much more appreciation for whatever it is the sweat equity has earned....not by taking from others, but by working for it yourself! Then the person will care for and maintain BECAUSE of the price of hard work and saving.... If they must, why not replace with like kind, just new...whole lot cheaper, and could help more individuals. guvernment!

I mean it sounds like Century has a money well. They first rebuild/refab homes as you see above and now they are going to replace the entire home? No wonder we are trillion of dollars in debt as Just Me said. Crazy! Where the heck is all this money coming from? I mean it sounds like Century has a money well.

Hmmm, just like someone else said, no wonder the government is so far in debt.
