How do i get a government grant to help save my house from foreclosure?
Question:
Answer:
There are no grants to help you save your house from foreclosure. You can find all housing grants provided by the government from this page http://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/grants/fu... and NONE of them are about giving money to prevent foreclosures.
It is hard to find grants for personal purposes including starting a business or preventing foreclosures. Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.
Nonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture or for personal purposes.
Even if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business or for personal purposes.
Most of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program
Grants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs
For private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "students, artists, academic researchers, libraries and financial aid offices." They may not have anything for your purpose

Unless you're a woman or black, or better yet, a black woman, you've got an ice cube's chance in hell of this government giving you anything. I hate to say it, the government's not going to save your house.
In your case i'd purchase Matthew Leskos (That crazy guy in the $$ suit on tv who talks about grants) book about free money
Never heard of that. Best thing to do is see if you can hook up with a realtor to sell your house fast. Try not to let her know your going into foreclosure because you still want a good value.
You don't want that on your credit. You'll be screwed and homeless if you wait for this so called govt grant. At least you'll be able to get some money out of your house if there is any. I can explain more if you like.
Get out while you can. You don't want to go through the entire process when you had plenty of time to do something about it. By the way, what is your address? J/K

If you want a free house you need to move to Cuba (It's called Socialism)
