HUD housing

[Guest guest]

Donna,

there are many government funded programs for first time homebuyers....we bought

a house through our state housing authority for low-income first time

homebuyers.....we got a lower than market interest rate but had to jump through

a lot of hoops (more than typical) and there are lots of " special rules "

attached like you lose money if sell under so many years and you are not allowed

to finish off the basement and rent it out and not allowed to have your own

business in the house (like child care), etc. The program was a great blessing

to us as we lived in one of the two highest cost of living places in the U.S.

continental. I would suggest finding out about your various options in your

area by calling a local bank or credit union and asking about their special

programs, calling your community action programs, your state housing authority,

your veterans administration, your local food pantry or church organization,

your vocational rehabilitation agency, etc. The one place I have heard of doing

work specifically for handicap accessibility is Habitat for Humanity.....other

than that a local organization that will come in and change a house you have

already. Best wishes in your search! Carol
