How do you REALLY get a government grant for purchasing a home?

Not going through any of those scam websites where you have to pay for the service? Is there a legitimate way to get a grant from the government? And where do you go?

Thanks!

You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.

Even if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.

For housing grants, you can go to HUD website and check their grant section http://www.hud.gov/grants/index.cfm

If you want to buy a home you need to apply for a LOAN.

Grants are for other uses.

In the United States of America you are supposed to buy your own home (It's called Capitalism)

If you want the Goverment to give you a house move to Cuba (It's called Socialism)
