Tom -

KDR has low interest loans as well. However the cost to make these changes for a lot of houses are upwards of $200,000.

Zillini -

That legislation didn't pass during the last Congress. It was attached to President Bush's Charitable Giving Act - but alas last year was an election year and it didn't get through the Senate.

So....it is starting from scratch this year. It is the same bill - and will again go onto the Charitable Giving Act - but we need to gain the support again.

So, I can't emphasize enough to contact all of your representatives to encourage them to support the Collegiate Housing and Infrastructure Act.

The bottom line is this - it's in everyone's best interest to address this issue through this legislation. GLO's are the largest not for profit student landlords in the country. We house more than 250,000 students nationwide. Do you think state colleges and universities can afford to find safe housing for those students otherwise?
