Show Change for vets- SALT LAKE CITY -The Veterans Administration Ad-ministration is changing its home-loan guarantee regulations to make it easier for veterans to buy retirement homes and to participate in local housing programs where there are income restrictions, said Floyd Johnson, VA loan guaranty officer for Utah. Over the past several years, various state and local governments have developed housing programs designed to benefit Dersons of low and moderate income. Restrictions, such as rights of first refusal or agreements to forfeit excess sale proceeds in the event of sale, are imposed to assure that the program benefits accrue only to the targeted beneficiaires. Amending those regulations now allows VA to participate in those programs. Details about these changes are available by telephoning the Salt Lake City VA Regional Office toll free 1-Rnn-fifi5-91fi3 |
