    I hope that this bill will also help in moving up or move away from the ever eroding river banks, I still live in our old house which WAS built in 1969, about 40 degrees slanted towards the sun, eroding river bank almost to the edge of house, very old wiring, south side wall hitting the ground and cracking because of pressure, very drafty, both doors can’t close, only when once in a year during freeze thaw conditions, roof all cracked and sheet irons peeling off, real 2×4’s with old 1/8th inch insulation all over house, old paper style plywoods, all windows cracked & drafty, etc. And can’t QUALIFY to fix or get a livable dwelling, still trying to be independent.
