Home purchase grants

A wealth of information about home purchase grants and home buying is available from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The United States Department of Housing and Urban Development is a Cabinet department of the U.S. federal government. The department was founded in 1965 to make policy regarding housing and cities, and also exercise such policies. HUD does not offer the grants directly to the buyer, but instead works through local governments and non-profit organizations to offer counsel and financial assistance to interested participants.
