What programs are available to purchase a home?

Did Obama create any programs to make buying a house easier? What are first time homebuyer programs? Where would I research if I am eligible for a program to buy a house?
Tip for best answer: M$1.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Hello Socialm8!
There are numerous programs available to home buyers. The federal government provides loans and grants to eligible homeowners. There is also a loan specifically for first time homeowners.
Government grants are usually distributed by state or local government agencies. Some nonprofit organizations provide help also. These types of grants provide financial assistance with a down payment or a home with a price reduction. They can also help the purchaser to receive better terms for the mortgage loan.
First time homebuyer’s loans usually have income requirements. An individual can obtain this loan if they have not owned a home within the last three years.
To find out if you are eligible for financial assistance you should contact the local Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) office. The representatives will be able to determine your eligibility for programs that meet your specific needs. You can also research housing grants yourself by going to grants.gov.
