He basically co-signed her loan. She would NOT have gotten the house otherwise. She didn't qualify for a loan because they were in debt up to their ASSES, and she didn't secure that advance for her book (DEC 2000) until she had owned the house (bought in SEP 1999) for well over a year.

The definition of "homeless" is not having a home. They did not have one. They needed one that was suitable, and were it not for help, she would have been hard put to find anything that would have worked for her, her spouse, her kid and the Secret Service.
She was running for office--did you want her living in an end room at the Motel Six?
I mean--come ON. I can't believe how petty people get about her. It's just unfathomable.
