These people would be able to afford housing without having to beg for handouts. Just let prices fall and we won't have to waste time figuring out ways to get lower income families into homes.

This program is for **families** who are willing to work toward having a **modest** home for themselves. I do think there needs to be a limit, because too much of this will indeed affect the market, but if it's as small as these programs are (below 1% of the housing market??), they are fine by me.

However, I also don't have a problem with the Gov't interviening to try to help stabilize things. Those who do need to stay consistant with thier thoughts and should also not support this type of intervention and Gov't incentives and assistance either.

It's about providing a stable home situation for children. I have a much bigger problem with the $8k home purchase tax credit and the bank bailouts. Habitat is on my charitable giving list because it's about a "hand up" rather than a "hand out".

The sweat equity has to help weed out the truly flaky. Sounds like a good program all around. The sweat equity has to help weed out the truly flaky.
