“Affordable housing” is used in different ways depending on the person speaking and the topic at hand. United Relief Foundation’s “affordable housing” engagement means turning in-need-of-repair houses into safe, comfortable, affordable homes to make a difference in two tangible ways.
1) Affordable Homeownership, where the requirements of purchasing a house are within reasonable reach of more veterans, and the cost of owning the home is equal to or less than the rent for a compatible-size apartment.
2) Shared Homes where two veterans share costs associated with maintaining the house, such as rent and utilities. Shared houses will be fully furnished and have fenced-in backyards.
