It's not that easy. You need to take mandatory classes and for thoes with children babysitters usually have to be paid. You must be willing to move out of a city as many of the programs will not allow city living due to population control - difficult if you don't own a vehicle and yes many don't. Credit must be on the top. You must get a prequalfication which does not promise that you will get a mortgage. You are responsible for paying 1 year of insurance about $500, inspection about $300, and property taxes which are $3000 aprox depending on where you live.Hud and usda won't allow manufactured or mobile homes and for some this would be perfect for their needs- you make it sound that all you have to do is call hud and you are all set but it dosen't work that way. Also a pha(public housing assistant must be available from the housing agency to walk you through this process and make changes to vouchers , this is a complicated process and all the i 's need to have dots and t's crossed. I am sure I missed quite a bit but this is just a general list of what gets you started. I hope this helps xkacyx

WOW!

 

Thats all I can say. I was just quickly browsing through all of these questions and concerns and noticed no had posted answers: The answers are simple.

 

Right now ALL of YOU with housing concerns, bad credit, forclosures and disabilities qualify for out reach programs, HUD grants and help from the government.

 I noticed one lady that was making 530$ dollars a month... Did you know you can afford a house?!!? There's houses in my neighborhood going for 45,000$! Thats 275$ a month! Not only that.... but you can get the government to PAY FOR IT FOR YOU!

TO ALL OF YOU!: Knowledge is power! And you are currently on the most powerful tool in the world! The Internet! 

A) Learn to google.

B) Forums do not and will not help you (unless you read this)

C) Start here: http://www.hud.gov

Then See the "Office of Community Planning and Development" for information on block grants, economic development funds, YouthBuild, HOME, HOPE, SHOP, Habitat for Humanity, emergency shelter grants, HOPWA and other programs.

 There are programs out there for disabled and low income to BUY HOUSES! and with the market in the current state its in... You can AFFORD a house under these programs for LESS than 300$ a month!

 Edit: When I reviewed my post, I noticed that the page was not the same as the origonal one that I replied too... If it does end up in the same page... well... then the next part applies. Otherwise its in the wrong spot!

To the lady whose kid has ADHD.... you childs gifted. Albert Einstein painted his classroom doors red so that he could find them. He had ADHD as well....  You child does not have issue's. He has strengths. He can multi-task, is keen with music and probably has an IQ of 125+. I'm sorry to say this lady... but deal with it. Its most likely you, not your child, that has issues. You need to allow him access and the ability to do multiple things at once. I, for one, am doing over 5 things right now... I have ADHD too... bTW: He's going thave issue's with writing and proper gramar. Don't scold him for it. Its not his fault. It comes with the disability. His brain works much faster than most can comprehend.

Hello all.  I am a single mom of two beautiful children.  I have tried for some time now to keelp my head above water without any help.  But right now I fee like I'm drowning!  I am struggling with bills and tired of renting.  I want my children to have a nice home to come to.  Does anyone know where a single mom such as myself can get some help.  My credit isn't the best, but we deserve to live better than this.  My children deserve better.

I am a single mother of two, I work part time till May22nd then I will be working full time again.  I work as a Home Health Care Provider.  My client is my sister, whom is 21 but is like a 18 month old baby. Her disabilities are to numerous to list.  At this time she is living with my parents and have been in there constant care for the last 21 years. 
 
My problem is that both my parents are getting up there in age, my father is in his last stages of post polio and the prognoses is not good.  They are both stressed out, burnt out and are at an all time low in there marriage.  I love my folks and consider them true heroes.
I own a small single wide trailer in Galesville Wisconsin ( Tremp County)  with a little less then an acre, but I still owe about 45,000 on it plus a small mortgage against it to consolidate some of my bills 15,000.  First time I have bought a home and have learned many lessons on this.
 
My parents have made me a guardian of my sister and have asked me to take her in so that they can have some time.  My father would like to make sure that I have a place suitable for my sister after he passes away, but wont admit to it.  I understand all the dedication and time, and a life I will give up when I take my sister into my home and life.  I couldn't see her go to a nursing home. It wouldn't be healthy for her for she needs constant supervision and care. 
 
I have found a property that would need very minor alterations that would make it perfect for my sister and my two daughters.
The asking price is 129,900.. I just do not have the funds for the down payment or the monthly payments which I have calculated to be around 950.00 to 1100.00 a month depending on a couple banks interest rates, and that would be no problem if I didn't have these other two payments to make.

 

Any information or help would be appreciated

My family and I are living in a mobile home provided by my employer.  My employer is fixing to close the trailers that the employees are living in by June of this year.  Because of my income and family size, I live paycheck to paycheck but my bills are always paid. While I can afford a rent or mortgage payment, there is no money left over to build credit with or to save for moving expenses.  Is there a grant or program that will help me and mine in this situation?

I am a Homeowner in search of a new home due to the new aviation freeway that flys above my once peaceful and quiet nieghborhood, robbing me of much rest and the liesure of my indoor and outdoor activities, and severely affecting my work life. Due to the Aviation freeway of which the noise is very unbearable, my home will not sell, and if it does it will sell for far below the price I need. I am asking for a grant to help me purchase another home away from aviation traffic so I can get the rest that I am so deprived of now. Banks will not allow me any loans because of my low income and lack of downpayment. Please help. Thanks, James.
