The intent of this law is to provide a one-time benefit to the veteran, and the board shall not consider applications for the purchase of a second home as long as there are eligible veterans on the waiting list to apply for a first purchase.
If a veteran who has been the beneficiary of this chapter loses his home by fire, windstorm or other insurable hazard beyond his control and his account with the board is paid in full, the board may, in its discretion, approve the purchase of a home for such veteran, subject to all the other provisions of this chapter.
