Federal Grants for home improvement?..?

Federal Grants for home improvement?..?I questioned this in another catergory and figured that maybe I had it posted in the incorrect spot?.

I see advertisements for federal grants that do not have to be paid back that are for everything from small business funding to home improvements. I was wondering if anyone has ever received a grant for home improvement and how you apply and/or be eligible to receive one. Basically, how do I get one to do home improvements and renovations??

ps? we aren?t low income but not high income either, don?t know if that makes a difference.

There are not grants for individuals. There were some in Mississippi after Hurricane Katrina, but those have been used up. The guy with the ??? on his suit is lying. . . there are not grants for people to start a business . . . grants, while they don?t have to be paid back have something you have to accomplish, or a commitment you have to fulfill that makes it a worthy investment . . . . there are grants for non profit organizations and research institutes, but not for individuals.

If you still want to do research about it, go to www.grants.gov . . . it is the database for grants.

There is another person on Yahoo Answers that does a excellent job of explaining things as well, I hope he/she answers your question. He/She might can clarify things better than me! There ID is imisidro.

Excellent luck!

The HUD page http://www.hud.gov/improvements talks of the home improvement program but does not provide info on grants. For housing grants, you can go to http://www.hud.gov/grants/index.cfm or to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Help http://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.FUNCTIONAL_PROGRAM_TXT_RPT.SHOW?p_arg_names=func_cat_cd&p_arg_values=MM and search for home improvement grants.

I would advice you, but, not to keep your hopes up with regards to getting grants. There are very few grants available for personal uses ? and even for low income, grants are often not given directly to the individual but to the local government or a non profit establishment.

You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Help (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov ? these are two FREE sites made 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 your 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.

Note though that these grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments. 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 Small Term Lending Program. Individuals especially for personal purposes are not eligible for federal grants.

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 Help that are given to those who will make women?s business center that will train women entrepreneurs
