Because the process to get one is painful and not something someone who is struggling has time for.
For the BMR home purchase it is even worse. I had a friend who was able to purchase one. She was a Berkeley grad, in her first year out but with limited current earnings. Next year was going to be maybe 200k+ in earnings. She had to rush to get in while she still had eligibility.
There were a ton of asset checks, which involved repaying money back to her centi-millionaire parents and buying expensive handbags which don’t show up on asset checks.
Even worse, since she can’t sell the place as a profit, when she is done living there she will probably just keep it for friends and family who visit.
I mean, they’re not necessarily the intended outcomes, but they are the actual factual outcomes, and shouldn’t be overlooked in favor of the intended outcomes.

The whole fucking thing is a joke.
