This article says more than most since hurricane Katrina. Its important to understand what happened with the HUD Grants during that period time and what HUD required states to do today. A simply fix has always been to allow for more draws than the 5 max.

Carpenters and Carpenter helpers.
I am asked often if I would do carpentry work in my area. I'm getting too slow to actually handle most of the jobs I'm asked to do. I'd like to handoff the work to a carpenter that's better than me. I'm always looking for a good carpenter helper for projects I take on. Contact me and get listed and working.
