Grants and/or government assistance to help get a house?
proudmommy_of2@ymail.com asked:
Ok.. I see advertisements all over the web and even on TV for government grants.. and they say you can get them to buy a house or to help with getting a house.. but you have to pay for all the ones I have came across.. and that seems to me like a scam.. you should just be able to go to a web site and search for them and apply for the one you want.. I was just wondering if anyone out there knows anything about this.. and how to go about doing it? I am in a really bad situation.. living with my mother who threatens me every day that shes going to kick me out.. me and my fiance both.. because he doesn’t have a job.. well he had one and was even manager, but they cut his hours back so far it wasnt even really paying for his lunch and gas to get there.. so I told him to just go ahead and quit.. and he has been going out every day applying every where trying to find a job and with the economy the way it is.. theres really nothing out there.. although he does have an interview at Arby’s tomorrow.. so we’ll see how that goes.. But I have a 3 year old daughter, and I am 3 months pregnant also.. And there’s really not enough room for us all here.. me and my fiance are sleeping on an air mattress if that tells you anything.. and if my mom kicks us out, theres no where else for us to go.. So I really would like to know about the grants.. and also I have heard of several government programs that will assist you in getting a house.. or help pay rent.. any information that you know that you think would be helpful in my situation, please please please tell me.. This is kinda an emergency as things are getting worse between my mom and me each day. Thanks in advance for any help!
I also wanted to add.. that I have been to the HUD web sites and looked through the government grants there..but unless I’m looking at the wrong stuff, it says all those grants are for organizations.. not for individuals.. or personal use.. But I might not be at the right page or even the right web site..
Well.. first off I didn’t ask this question to get put down.. and as I stated.. My fiance does have an interview tomorrow.. Also.. we had a really nice apartment.. but the electricity messed up and the land lord was taking forever to fix it.. so thats when we moved in with my mom.. we gave him a month to get it fixed and even paid rent for that month.. and in that time, he did nothing.. we got the money back.. we do have a little money saved up.. and we arent mooching off of my mother.. I help her out around the house and we help pay our share of the bills.. because I myself get money from my student loans where I’m going to college and alos child support for my daughter.. so please dont try to judge me because I am in a situation where I need a little help. We all fall upon hard times. When I got pregnant, we were doing great, and then everything started going down hill. One think I can’t stand is people who sit around and judge others. Like I said, I didn’t ask this to be hated on.

USDA loans FHA loans and no offense if neither of u have a job u wont be able to secure a loan or get an apartment, best choice would be kiss up to mom until 1 or both of u get a good job
Yes, they are scams. There are no grants for buying a home. That is a reward for people who save for a down payment and have good credit. They used to let any one and every one buy a house and that is why there are now so many foreclosures. Since you and your fiance decided that nothing was better than a little at work, you just may have to continue to let your mother support all of you since you also decided to have a baby who will cost a lot of money, too. Hopefully when you grow up things will get better for you.
