I’m a liberal (lower case l) and I’m opposed to such grants. the money won’t go to the poor but end up in the pockets of the lenders and REIC.
How does it help the poor if the government steps in and help the poor make the mortgage payments on a houses they can’t afford for an extra 6-months. It just wastes money and delays the inevitable.
Sometimes you need tough love. Now is that time for that. Better spend the money on educating the next generation of low-income buyers.
