40B Doesn’t Work for Single Parents

I’m proud to be a police officer. It isn’t easy being a single mom and working full time but I know that my daughter looks up to me and that I’m setting a good example. Unfortunately, 40B says I don’t qualify for affordable housing.

I do my part for others and I’m not looking for a financial handout, I’m just looking for a home.

Even though I don’t make that much, I’m ineligible for a 40B mortgage because of our debts. I’ve always worked hard to get ahead but nothing will change for me, we have to have a place to live, I need a car and I have to put food on the table. I don’t see the system changing anytime soon, especially with the troubles with mortgage lenders and all those housing foreclosures I’ve read about. I do my part for others and I’m not looking for a handout, I’m just looking for a home.
