[Nfbf-l] any special laws for blind home buyers?

[Holly]

I agree, but some people who qualify don't have to pay theirs.  These are
mostly people who have been living in a home for quite some time and have
developed a disability that make them unable to work and are on a limited
fixed income. For those of us that work, then yes we should pay our fair
share. God knows I do!
