Are there any government assistance programs for a housing down payment?

♫♪~♥ Wheaten Lover ♥~♪♫ asked:


We need $2650 to move by June 1st. Is there any government assistance programs that help middle class, white, married couples with a child? I’ve never taken anything from the government and I think it is my turn… we need to move out and we can’t seem to save any money. Like most Americans, we are living paycheck to paycheck and can’t save any money. We are dong what we can to make some extra cash (my husband is a carpenter on the side and I am a graphic designer who does freelance work in addition to our full time jobs). No one is spending any money for services now due to the economy so we can’t get any side work.

Does anyone know of any government programs or grants we can apply for and how to go about doing it??

    There are government programs that offer “grants” to home buyers who can at least qualify for FHA, but nothing is available if you are just looking to move.

    There may be some local programs, but the federal government stopped handing out money for home purchases a long time. Contact some local lenders to see if there might be something you qualify for.
