Way back I was awarded a first-time homebuyer grant but was almost disqualified because my second job put my income over the program's limit. I quit working the part-time job in mid-November and missed out on about $3,000 in income in order to qualify for the $15,000 award.

Even if half the people are not qualified, that's still means 93% of the applicants won't even get on a waiting list, let alone find an affordable place to live. And, these numbers represent households, not people, so the number of people affected is at least doubled or triple the number of applications.
